I took my first dose last night. I don't know the specific amount - just eyeballed half of the regular measurement. Thought I'd gradually increases doses. I certainly felt more alert ~30min after taking HC last night and this morning. This morning, for instance, I was able to think relatively clearly during the drive to work, during which I would normally be half asleep. Also, I got only four hours of sleep; so, the fact that I was alert early on is more remarkable. However, because of the lack of a full night's sleep, I can't reasonably judge the perceived effect HC is having on me.
One of the personal trainer's where I work has a massive interest in nutrition, you'd be surprised by how much it can effect your cortisol levels, as well as a few other key triggers.
Here's a blog post on the subject, in response to a recent BBC article that was published.
