<non-proteinogenic>  Cannot chain into a protein,   healthy

Affects mood, altertness

• free nitrogen

• alkaloids can be psycogenic
• neuro transmitter
• trace amounts in mammal brains
• up regulates serotonin
• up regulates melatonin
• increases thoughts / spirituality / care / concern

      benzyl ring

     gives stability and longevity to the molecule

Tryptamine increases the presense of hist-amine

When it looses the benzyl ring...

hist-amine,

Histamine stimulates secretions, bowel movements as does serotonin.

• short acting, reactive, no benzyl ring
• opens up blood flow
• allow white blood cells to attack germs
• alergic response <analyphalxis>
• rapid immune response to germs
• increases itchy sensations
• increases nerve / brain activity

Anti-histamines

• make us sleepy
• reduce immune function
• reduce blood flow
• increase seizures
• reduce repair and re-myelination of brain cells
• leads to dementia
• loss of language
• reduced inteligence

Trypt-ase, the enzyme that disables tryptamine

• neuro enzyme
• disables histamine
• increased in blood 30-60 min after analyphalxis
• calms nerves and immune activity
