Hi,
Please check and comment on my regimen!
I'm planning to make myself a genius/savant :p Actually, I'm trying to improve myself to be able to be the fittest and the smartest..
I'm currently in college for Mechanical Engineering with 20 credit hours per sem..
I want to be able to so easily win scholastic competitions like World Memory thingy, or fitness competitions like Crossfit Games.
With no limit on my budget (I have a scholarship, and on-campus job), what do you think about my regimen?
Please don't tell me to better save my money somewhere else. I've saved enough for 5 years. :p

All of those while studying for MechEng, trying to get 4.0 and double major in Math, trying for some math competition as well.
Note: The multivitamin and herbal extract tablet are from 21st Century; Ginkgo Biloba tablet and Fish oil are from Nature's Way, BG22 Oat Bran powder is from Biogrow.
General Lifestyle:
I reserve Fridays as fasting days in accordance with intermittent fasting.
I don't smoke tobacco or weed; no AAS; I avoid drugs for simple illnesses (if I do catch).
Uses sunscreen (Broad-Spectrum UVA+UVB SPF50+) when going out at afternoon.
I vaccinate annually with flu shots (without thiomersal) and occasionally a booster dose for each of the viruses.
I try to learn new skills everyday. (eg. juggling, piano, new language)
There are some issues I know present within my regimen. Namely:
1. Multivitamin - Presence of Iron, Magnesium, Zinc. Vitamins are above the RDA.
2. Oat Bran powder - Will dietary fibre impair absorption of proteins?
3. Vegetarian diet?
4. Fish oil is having some bad reputations lately.
I'm trying to fit in some other supplements and lifestyle changes. Anyone can comment when to put them in?
1. Calcium & Strontium(?) - Was told to 'store up' on calcium in bones before aged.
2. Resveratrol - Lots of goodies but worried it will interfere with the workouts.
3. Meditation - Said to be able to induce neurogenesis.
4. High-dose Vitamin C - Popular advice, Linus Pauling?
5. ALA - Better alternative to EPA/DHA?
6. CoQ10 - Heart health
7. TA-65 - Telomere aging thingy
I'm welcoming any comments or critique against my regimen. I'm projecting till 2018 for a new and improved me to enter the workforce as a fresh executive.
