Recently I started taking certain racetam nootropics and for this it is adviced to take choline supplements like Alpha-GPC/Citicholine.

 

However, the issue is that I suffer from mild hyperhidrosis, mainly on my forehead. And ever since taking Alpha-GPC (300 mg per day) it has made my facial sweating significantly worse. I read that sweating is linked to acetylcholine production, so is it bad for people with hyperhidrosis to be taking choline supplements?

 

Please comment. Any advice is welcomed.

Since only less than 2% of the general population have this problem it is really difficult to find those interested in nootropics on top of that. :( Hence, the lack of responses.

There is no reason to start racetams with choline right off the bat.  Most of that racetam/choline nonsense is just that, nonsense.  Doubtlessly started by supplement retailers, blowing a few studies way out of proportion.

 

Try the racetam by itself for a while and see if your symptoms persist.
