[Revisiter]

Hello ImmInst,

I've recently started nootropic supplementing, and I've seen how many experience a stronger synergistic effect with ALCAR. Now I understand the logic behind is to boost the availability of acetylcholine through donation of acetyl group.

My current choline source is a mix of 250mg choline bitartrate and 250mg inositol per pill, 2 pills per dose. On 2g of Piracetam per dose as well. Will ALCAR be necessary? Do I have to boost up my take of choline?

Also, I've read about the oxidation that ALCAR causes, would someone enlighten me about this, and also the ratio of ALCAR:Piracetam I would have to take to get an optimal effect.

Also, will an anti-oxidant(ALA) be necessary or do I just keep eating oranges from now on.

Cheers,

Revisiter

Oxidation isn't a problem with ALCAR unless you go to unreasonably high doses.

So the amount I should take with my 4g a day piracetam should be moderately low right?

I personally take 500mg. But supplementation up to 2g should be ok without needing to worry about oxidative risk. Plus oxidation is so 2004....
