There are several Nootropics that seem to require or be supported by another supplement/mineral/amino-acid etc.
Ex. If I take Xgrams/day of Piracetam, I should also be taking Xgrams of Choline, Citocholine etc./day. Otherwise headaches or drowsiness may result.
Or another example; If I take Xgrams/day of Acetyl-L-Carnatine then it's good to take Alpha-Lipoic Acid as a mitochondrial antioxidant. (Since ALCAR is a mitochondrial upregulator)..right?
You take B6/ZMA when taking SAM-e etc.
I'm guessing that these things are still being learned by many, I am just wondering if there is a list of these important combos somwhere, or if maybe this topic could be used to compile some of these important "Nootropic support supplements"?
Thanks [thumb]

I'd be interested to hear about this too, I'm trying to read more on the ALCAR/ALA team, and how idebenone works into the mix.

Nice [thumb] That's what I'm talking about [lol]
Here's something I borrowed from the current Deprenyl discussion in regards to how much NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) and Vitamins C and E should be consumed to balance the bodies natural antioxidant system due to the increased SOD levels created by deprenyl.
Keep it coming, this is important stuff! Alot to learn before swallowing piles of pills, drops and/or powders. Keeping these chemical balances is most important..
I think alot of folks would appreciate being able to access these Noop/Supp ratios in one place, doncha think?

See the preceding context of this quote here> http://www.futuresci...m/deprenyl.htmlA personal note: After all this, sometimes confusing, information about deprenyl, you are probably wondering how much, if any, deprenyl I take. In 1989, I began taking 15 mg. a week. I soon reduced the dosage to 5 to 10 mg. of deprenyl weekly. In 1996, I reduced my dose to 5 mg. a week and started using liquid deprenyl citrate. I also take 1000 mg. of NAC per day and at least 800 I.U. of vitamin E and 3200 mg. of vitamin C per day.
