I'm looking at a Galantamine/Deprenyl stack to reccomend to my parents (and probably take myself also), and had a few quick questions.
Mom is 46, dad is 54.
For galantamine, I'm looking either at the GalantaMind formulation from Life Enhancement
http://www.naturalhe...alantamind.html
or the powder from beyond-a-century.
LEF's formula has
Vitamin B5 (as calcium pantothenate) 100 mg
Galantamine hydrobromide extract 8 mg
Choline (from choline dihydrogen citrate) 200 mg
Whereas Beyond-a-century's has
280 mg Glutamine; 8mg galantamine; 67mg alpha GPC; and 33mg B5 (powdered form)
Questions:
1) Any reccomendations on which galantamine formulation to choose and why, primarily looking at the formulas and not cost? the powdered form is slightly cheaper, but I'm not sure how the alpha GPC compares with the choline. I have heard good things about its anti-aging effects however.
2) Anyone have a list of choline precursors and their relative effectivenesses/conversion charts? I tried searching around but couldnt find anything
3) Would (for my parents) a reccomendation of galantamine (8mg dose+whatever else is in the formula) and 3mg of deprenyl daily be a good reccomendation? Would diffrent doses of the galantamine(16?) or deprenyl work better? I'm primarily interested in the memory boosting and anti alzhimers/parkingsons / life extension effects)
4) If anyone has any other reccomendations in terms of other alternatives, dosings, anything I would be greatly interested.
5) For me, would taking deprenyl have a downside? I read someplace that deprenyl was not reccomended to those taking amphetamines, and I am on Methylphenidate (Concerta®) Concerta is a stimulant, boosting dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin levels. I have been on it since the start of this year, and its worked excellent for me, but I prefer natural alternatives. I know deprenyl when taken at the Mao-B inhibition levels increases Dopamine Noradrenaline and Adrenaline. (Norephinephrine and Noradrenaline are the same thing apparently?)
6) If I take it, should I stick with the lower CA enhancing dosages (1mg a day or so), or the higher Mao-B inhibition levels (3 mg or so)
I am 110 pounds/50 kg, and turning 20 in may, I am not currently taking any nootropics, so I would be taking the 8mg of Galantamine (or 16), plus the deprenyl.
Thanks alot everyone!
