Today I purchased Piracetam and a Inisitol & Choline blend. I plan on starting them tomorrow 1200mg piracetam, 250 mg inositol, and 250mg choline. I work in the construction industry and am a little worried about them making me feel dizzy or jittery. As I work on scaffolding and with power tools a lot of the time. I normally drink several NOS or Code Red's a day, and have a fairly good tolerance to energy drinks. Do you think I will be fine to start this stack while working or should I start on a weekend when I have time to adjust?
The reason that I'm giving this a try is that I start college in the Fall. I have difficulty focusing and keeping organized but consider myself to be relatively intelligent. I have been drinking a lot of energy drinks for their stimulant properties and to help me cope with my "ADD". I took all AP classes in high school and did well, although I was pretty dependent on Adderall to help me with this. I've been out of the Academic realm for several years now and am nervous about starting again. I find I have problems in my life due to my inability to concentrate and am really hoping to find a combination of supplements to help me this. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
In advance, thank you so much. Sorry for being such a noob.
Hello there,
it's ok to add a racetam, inositol and choline to your regiment but there's one thing you should be aware of and it's nutrition comes before supplements. Try to get a good whole grain cereal with soy milk as a breafast with an egg if you feel like not having enough. Basically try to eat healthy. If you can't do that then i would recommend to add some supplements to your regiment but you must be aware that they are way less bioavailable than the vitamins and minerals you get in your food.
-Suglingual B Vitamins Complex, it will help you metabolism and it does have an effect of making better use of the body's own energy mechanism, even improve cognitive performances.
-At least 2,000UI Vitamin D if you sun exposure is reduced
-Beta-Carotene (your vitamin A if you are not into veggies that much)
-Fish Oil ( Omega-3 ), our everyday diet is loaded with omega-6 and 9 and not enough omega-3 unless you eat a lot of fish and please eat small fishes they contain more omega-3 and less mercury.
-Magnesium (chelated with amino acids is better)
-Vitamin C (Ester-C 1,000mg with calcium is good) or a good vitamin C with flavonoids).
Eat well!
So that's the basics... I would suggest adding Green+ Daily Detox every morning (powder formula please). It is loaded with superfood that are rich and antioxidants and other phytochemicals and enzymes that will help you metabolism and will give you the daily veggies intake you need.
I woud start your new regiment on the week-end who knows what reaction you can have.
Please cut the energy drinks and go for Rhodiola rosea which is a stimulating adaptogen and considered a cognitive enhancer. Energy drinks are loaded with sugars and it bad for you. The human body have about 4grams of sugar to deal with normally then when you add up 20 grams it's like very heavy on your metabolism.
Best regards,
M4
