Since browsing the forum, I've picked up some newbie nootropic recommendations and have purchased the following, which should arrive tomorrow:
- Full Spectrum Lion's Mane Mushroom, 500mg caps
- Himalaya Pure Herbs Bacopa, 750mg caps
- BulkSupplements Pure Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) Powder, 250G powder
- Jarrow Formulas Citicoline, CDP Choline, 250mg caps
- Neuro Boost® Piracetam from SDFT, 800mg caps
I've noticed some have said to first try Piracetam alone by taking 800mg in the morning and seeing how I feel and if no headache, take an additional 800mg in the afternoon. If a headache develops, then take CDP Choline. However, I've seen some say that if Piracetam does little to nothing for you, you should take more Piracetam along with half of that in CDP Choline. As time moves on, experiment by filtering in the other supplements.
Can anyone provide some advice on this stack and possibly anything else I should know or consider adding / subtracting? Perhaps even dosage recommendations? Basically, I suffer from mental fog, lack of focus and sometimes motivation, and even verbal clarity at times because it feels like my mind cannot keep up with the speed of my sentences at times. I work in a fast-paced IT environment and I could really use the assistance these supplements provide.
I also exercise weekly by incorporating jogging, push-ups, and other exercises. I don't drink soda or many sugary foods, but my diet could use some improvement, which I'm working on. I already take the following supplements daily:
- Fish Oil, 2 Soft Gels of 1000mg
- Turmeric Curcumin, 2 caps of 500mg
- Multi-Vitamin, Opti-Men Brand
Thank you for any advice provided.
