Hello. I am a student at a university, and I am hoping that supplements will help with my test preformance. I generally know how to do everything, but I am slow and error prone to the extent that I am not pleased with my preformance.
I have been interested in nootropics for a while, but I have not got around to ordering powders because I dont want to spend the time and money (capping machines, scale, etc.). I will probably order some piracetam eventually.
Today I bought 30 100mg alpha lipoic acid capsules and 30 250mg acetyl L-carnitine at k-mart. I am hoping that I can get the desired effects by only taking supplements on test days, and taking nothing on days without tests. (30 capsules will not last long, and I have always been skeptical about taking things every day because I am afraid they might have negative long term effects)
I weigh 120 pounds. What would be an appriopriate dosage of these two supplements, and how many hours before a test should I take them? Also, is there anything else I need to take with them? I know that some supplements deplete other important vitamins.
