Hey guys I’ve been trying to figure out dozing with Alpha-GPC. I’ve tried one capsule and two capsules about an hour before my workouts and have yet to really notice any difference between the days I take it vs not. Anyone have any suggestions as to how you use it to maximize it’s effectiveness?
I thought the recommended on the old version capsules was at least 2. I took upwards of 3.
Try allowing at least 90 minutes before training as recommended on the packaging.

Ahh I meant capsules as in caps of the new liquid stuff my bad. But I will try lengthening the time between taking it and working out to see if I see a difference.
Not sure if there is an upper limit. Alpha GPC definatly gives you an edge in the gym. I take 1 cap full 90 minutes preworkout which is the recommended dose. On occasion I will have 1 1/3 caps preworkout.
I usually take 2 cap fulls about 90-60 mins before training. I remember talking to Tim about possibly taking a second dosing before bed (to maximize GH output), and he said that the worst thing that could happen if you take more than you can tolerate, is a headache, so I guess you could play around with the dosing until you find what works for you. I definitely notice more of a mental alertness in the gym from 2 caps vs 1.

^ agreed, two caps vs one seems to get me hyperfocused
Does it matter if Alpha-GPC is taken with or without food?
I, too noticed a significant increase in mental focus taking 2 caps vs 1. I was actually pleasatly surprised
It wasn’t a placebe effect either, because I tried it before coming across this thread and wasn’t expecting it to make much of a difference
I don’t think it matters if it’s taken with food or not.
I think the effects are highly individual. I personally use the liquid version. With half a cap I’m in a good mood. This happened this morning, I was very short tempered when I woke up and for about and hour into my day. Took Alpha-GPC and after 60-90 minutes I was ‘‘very happy’’, if not in an overly good mood!
With a full cap I’m really focused and get a good strength increase.
With 2 caps I get a dazed, almost ‘‘high’’ feeling, but when I take this much an hour before bed I recover extremely well during the night.

I haven’t seen a difference.
