[Nootropics Notes #0]

*please refer to "Nootropics" on my home directory if this is nonsense


After approximately one month I can definitively state that the HAC and 
CAAU stacks are "for me" but the ACC and proprietary Cortex are utterly 
useless. The former two work FANTASTICALLY, giving me a great boost 
either at work or sitting down to follow along Udemy courses. The AAC 
seems to have a slight effect that is short-lived. "Cortex" actually 
makes me sleepy, regardless of the dose.

I am rotating CAAU and HAC to avoid side-effects of/dependence on/
tolerance to Huperzine-A and Uridine Monophosphate. Apparently these 
concerns do not apply to Acetylcholine sources so it's safe to take the 
Alpha-GPC daily.

I have noticed that CDP Choline (Citicholine) makes me drowsy but 
Alpha-GPC does not. As I understand, CDP Choline sensitizes dopamine & 
serotonin receptors so that is most likely the reason.

For sleep, it seems I've already built a tolerance to 5-HTP and/or 
L-Theanine so by themselves they do not promote sleep. However the simple
"Sleep Drink" does the trick *every time*. Go Nature. Yes, it is still 
processed, containing pulverized plant material, but it obviously contains 
auxiliary compounds that boost efficacy compared to capsules of singular 
compounds like 5-HTP & L-Theanine.
