Thanks for all the details!

I agree with the above, that Alpha-GPC, at least for me, is the gold standard of choline sources. One dose in the morning lasts me 10 or 12 hours. I also start the day with pira and later take some ani if needed…as I also think pira is best on empty stomach.

Another big part of my stack is galantamine, which not only is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor but also makes receptors more sensitive to choline. I stopped taking it for about 3 weeks and gradually notice my pira did not have the same effect as before so I started again.

What dose of Alpha GPC are you using middleage?

liquid or powder?

Has anyone tried taking their noops with grapefruit juice (for the CYP3A4 enzyme effect)?

about 200mgs powder taken sublingually

Thanks mag

How much does a “cycle” usually cost? I know this varies with what you guys are taking as you have more than one ingredient in your stack but overall amount would be cool. (NOT asking where you get it but just to see if it is feasable for myself to get into boosters)

I just ordered the Neurostim, which is what BBB recommended for me as a newcomer, for $55 and change counting S&H. It’s got vinpocetine, aniracetam, and DMAE. That’s a 45 day supply assuming a steady dose.

I’m not sure if you’d NEED anything else to get started. I’ve been using Biotest’s Power Drive postworkout for neural recovery, so I’ll personally be sticking to that, the Neurostim, and a bit of extra DMAE. Power Drive and DMAE aren’t very expensive, spent less than $40 for those two.

Also, you make no-ops sound like illegal scripts or something in your post lol

oh, i was thinking you were gonna say something like at least 750mg to last 12 hours. ill probably go with that over DMAE next time.

Neurostim isn’t just for beginners, but for experienced nootravellers as well.

For the ‘next step’ in your nootravels, I would add in bacopa in the evenings or when stressed. Also PS post-training and pre-bed.

just to clarify things…, is bacopa something you need to take every day to gradually see a positive effect, or is it something you can use occasionally as needed because it has an immediate effect?

I think I get by on less than 2 bucks a day, with expensive shipping, handling and Swedish customs included. (Taking ani, vinpo, dmae and some other stuff)

If you compare it to buying one cup of coffee a day noops win by a long shot.

BBB or anybody in here, just something ive noticed that maybe you have experience with. i find that when i go on a very low carb diet, noops have a huge effect on me. but once i start eating carbs again the noops have absolutely zero noticeable effects. any reasons to explain this madness? i assume it has something to do with less serotonin and more dopamine from the lack of carbs?

Thanks for the info. No I asked where to get them forgetting T-Nation Rules about that kind of stuff that they generally do not like competition sites posted on their site. I’m a guest to their site so ought to respect lol.

BBB what dose Bacopa would you recommend?

I believe it’s ~600 mg
