Semtex: 我对生物黑客的兴趣由来已久,它始于我对优化自身生物机能的追求,包括身体和精神层面。我始终认为,人类的一切行为都是为了从一种状态过渡到更好的状态,即使是刻意的痛苦,例如锻炼,也是为了提升自我。20年前,我开始尝试通过各种方法来优化我的大脑功能,当时可用的补充剂有限。后来,由于患病导致神经疼痛,我开始关注勃起功能的改善。在研究过程中,我发现一氧化氮是勃起功能的关键信号分子,并开始测试各种提高一氧化氮水平的补充剂和组合,并使用唾液测试条来量化其效果。我的研究持续了三年,期间我测试了超过1000种化合物,并严格控制饮食和生活习惯,以确保测试结果的准确性。 我的研究结果表明,钠和水分摄入对健身泵感至关重要。即使服用L-瓜氨酸或甘油等补充剂,如果钠和水分不足,也无法获得最佳效果。我发现,硝酸盐是提高一氧化氮水平的有效方法,但其吸收速度较慢,例如芝麻菜需要1小时,甜菜根需要2-3小时。而使用硝酸钠等补充剂可以更快地提高硝酸盐水平,并同时补充钠。 除了补充剂,睡眠、阳光照射和抗氧化剂等因素也对一氧化氮的产生有重要影响。睡眠不足会影响内皮细胞的功能,阳光照射可以促进一氧化氮的产生,而抗氧化剂可以减少活性氧的产生,从而保护一氧化氮。在补充剂方面,我发现N-乙酰半胱氨酸(NAC)可以提高一氧化氮水平,但它也可能导致多巴胺钝化,因此需要谨慎使用。此外,亚甲蓝可能会抑制可溶性鸟苷酸环化酶,从而降低一氧化氮的效果。 在饮食方面,芝麻菜是提高一氧化氮水平最有效且方便的食物,其次是甜菜根和其他绿叶蔬菜。芝麻菜中含有少量苦味,但其高硝酸盐含量使其成为提高一氧化氮水平的理想选择。烹调可能会降低芝麻菜中的硝酸盐含量,但程度有限。芝麻菜与西地那非(伟哥)联合使用可以增强勃起效果。此外,碳水化合物对一氧化氮的产生也至关重要,低碳水化合物饮食可能会降低一氧化氮水平。 在勃起功能障碍的治疗方面,我发现小檗碱可以长期抑制PDE5酶的表达,从而提高一氧化氮水平。此外,心理因素也对勃起功能有重要影响,压力、焦虑等负面情绪可能会导致勃起功能障碍。因此,保持良好的心理状态,例如进行体育锻炼、户外活动和社交等,对改善勃起功能至关重要。 Lucas Aoun: (由于Lucas Aoun在访谈中主要起到引导和提问的作用,其观点主要体现在对Semtex观点的回应和补充上,故此处仅简要概括其观点) Lucas Aoun主要对Semtex的研究方法、研究结果和相关知识点进行提问和补充,并表达了对Semtex研究的赞赏和认可。他与Semtex就一氧化氮的产生机制、影响因素、相关补充剂以及勃起功能障碍的成因等方面进行了深入的探讨,并分享了自己的一些经验和看法。

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode of the Boost Your Biology podcast, Lucas Aoun and Jordan Tsanev delve into the world of biohacking, focusing on nitric oxide production and its impact on male sexual performance and gym performance. Jordan shares his personal journey into biohacking, discussing the importance of sodium and hydration for optimal gym performance, and the methods for measuring nitric oxide levels. They explore the significance of discipline in testing various supplements and the role of lifestyle factors in enhancing nitric oxide production, including sleep and antioxidants. In this conversation, Lucas Aoun and Jordan Tsanev delve into various aspects of health optimization, focusing on the effects of supplements like NAC and methylene blue, the importance of nitric oxide production, and the role of nutrition in enhancing performance. They discuss the benefits of arugula and its interaction with sildenafil, the impact of diet on nitric oxide levels, and the risks associated with certain medications like finasteride. The conversation also highlights the significance of lifestyle factors in maintaining erectile health and concludes with a discussion on Catuaba as a natural supplement for boosting dopamine levels.
