5-HT(1)A receptors are designated as one of the most important receptor types in the human physiology; especially in regards to Stress Adaptation (1) (2) and Depression (3) (4) (5). They make for such a popular topic, that they are written about extensively , by not just medical professionals and researchers (6) (7), but by bloggers, health enthusiasts and 'recreational thinkers' alike (8) (9) (10). The sheer fascination with them and their ligands - stamps them as some of the most revered topics in longevity and anti-aging forums (11) (12) and even fitness / bodybuilding forums (13) (14).

So lets stick with the FACTS.
- 5-HT(1)A Receptor activity and Receptor Expression is greatly determined by male sex hormones (Testosterone, DHT) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) as well as Corticosteroids (Cortisol, Cortisone) (20) (21) (22) (23) (24) .
- From that standpoint - our goal should be to decrease cortisol by any means, and to increase Testosterone levels (25) (26).
- Minerals such as Manganese (27) and Magnesium (28) play a HUGE role in increasing AND maintaining 5-HT1A Receptors.
INCREASING 5-HT1A RECEPTORS WITH SUPPLEMENTS
- Supplement with BOTH Magnesium & Manganese. Preferably @ Night
. - BLOCK / REDUCE Cortisol & Increase Testosterone by using Barlowe's Benzoflavone/PS/Resveratrol Supplement.
- If you REALLY Want to Go 'EXTREEeM' , you can use Andractim to reload your potential and shift the 5-HT1A:2A Expression Ratio. (It is a DHT-Analogue)
**The notion behind DHT-Supplements in 5-HT(1)A Regulation is based on DHT's proven Anti-Cortisol/Anti-Stress benefit as outlined in my "DHT & The Brain Article**
