Some of us respond poorly to cholinergic (GPC, CDP, ALCAR, Huperzine...) 
What are some good and bad supplement for those people.

In particular, I have been wondering about the following

 

Piracetam, Aniracetam, Noopept - while thes guys use AMPA and NMDA receptors, some acetylcholine interactions also exist. What are people's experiences on these?

Bacopa - I have been wanting to try this for a while but since it takes long to see effects, I am wondering what other choline dominant people's take is on Bacopa

Rhodiola?

DHA/EPA ? I know DHA can increase ACH and I seem to not respond well to it. EPA seems fine. I take Jarrow's EPActice which is EPA only

Uridine ?

Forskolin ?This one is interesting. It seems to be the opposite of Huperzine in addition to cAMP effects (increasing reuptake of ACH) So can we assume it is a good supplement for choline dominant people?

Ashwagandha, SAMe, anyting else?


Thanks for reading this.

This is a good question.  I get extremely depressed on anything too cholinergic.

 

 

Some of the things I do well on:   

 

Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, l-tryptophan, niacin, Maca, muca pruriens ,  I guess most things that revolve around serotonin or dopamine.  I haven't tried a Racetam straight up with no choline source , but am curious if they would reduce levels of choline overall, or as you

 

mentioned is there still some kind of interaction.
