8 grams ? Will try thanksDouble the dose and you'll be fine.
It's not placebo, ALCAR produces an acute effect that is felt after the first dose.Oops. Will do that now. I am thinking one dose am, one around lunch, one pre-work out. I actually felt it or imagine I felt it already, probably a little of both. I am normally pretty sharp as far as cognitive thinking and reasoning is but I had a nice edge last night when I was helping some people with easier chem/math stuff over the computer. I'll get back to this thread after a few weeks, and after mid terms too lol.
Double the GPLC dose. LCLT is fine at 2-3g so take your pick.Coopster

For me, oxiracetam and piracetam contributed to fluidity of writing. ALCAR is mostly for concepts that require memorization and focus.Cool. I just read over some chem stuff and memorized it after one read. Lol. That's not too unusual for me but usually I have to look harder. Now if only alcar could write my papers for me.
Have you ever noted whether it affects a particular learning style more. Like reading listening writing etc.
Good enough for me. I can write **** as long as I can remember it. Hahaha.For me, oxiracetam and piracetam contributed to fluidity of writing. ALCAR is mostly for concepts that require memorization and focus.
bump that f* doseStill awaiting my first felt effect from ALCAR
I never perceived any effects from it either.Still awaiting my first felt effect from ALCAR
Some people don't feel much and some people don't like the feeling. It can cause an anxious feeling at higher doses. I still can't believe that it is being recommended to start at 1g+ for people. Most everyone I know that has tried it, finds that 500mg is about the right spot to start.Still awaiting my first felt effect from ALCAR
Cooper, I can't remember if you said whether you take Huperzine A or not, but if you do, how much do you take per day? Do you take more than 200 mcg?For me, oxiracetam and piracetam contributed to fluidity of writing. ALCAR is mostly for concepts that require memorization and focus.
I will take Hup A if I need an extra, acute kick while studying. 50-100mcg daily. Galantamine is my preferred choice though, at 8-16 mg.Cooper, I can't remember if you said whether you take Huperzine A or not, but if you do, how much do you take per day? Do you take more than 200 mcg?
What kind of advantage do you perceive when taking galantamine as compared to huperzine A? Just curious...I will take Hup A if I need an extra, acute kick while studying. 50-100mcg daily. Galantamine is my preferred choice though, at 8-16 mg.
I don't perceive any difference. Huperzine A actually creates a stronger acute effect. However, galantamine is not only an AChEi but also an nAChr agonist, so it should, in theory, be even betterWhat kind of advantage do you perceive when taking galantamine as compared to huperzine A? Just curious...
I do 2 grams pre, and 1/1 split on non workout days. I think it's an extremely inexpensive buy. Only downside is it tastes bad.I think im going to give this a try... this really intrigues me... Does anybody have any experience with the NutraPlanet bulk 100g powder ALCAR? What are your thoughts and how do you dose it? Or are there any specific ALCAR recommendations?
Taste really isn't bad at all imoI do 2 grams pre, and 1/1 split on non workout days. I think it's an extremely inexpensive buy. Only downside is it tastes bad.
I like the taste, its similar to Cit Malate.Taste really isn't bad at all imo

Whats the best way to take this? Dump the powder in mouth and chase? Mix in protein? Cap it?... Sorry if im asking too many questions. I will make a purchase this weekend, I just kind of want to know what i'll be getting and how i can dose it optimally.I like the taste, its similar to Cit Malate.
Right on... thanks BeauI dump it in water and drink it.
That's what I do, though I have taken it straightI dump it in water and drink it.
Really, I think you can dose it all of those ways. I just believe you avoid things like na-rala, NAC...it mixes fine with other things. Just look at focus xt. It has quite a few ingredients that are in with it. Water and caps are fine too. I think, unless told otherwise, juice would be fine if dumped in and drink quick. For what it is worth the test isn't as bad as many raws.Whats the best way to take this? Dump the powder in mouth and chase? Mix in protein? Cap it?... Sorry if im asking too many questions.

1g SNS agmatine powder1g Alcar, 200mg na-rala, 200mg caffein, and 25mg of ephedrine is a very nice morning stack so far. May try the same preworkout later in the day. Anybody recommend anything else to add
Thanks Cooper, I will give agmatine a try.1g SNS agmatine powder
I actually take my ALA 30 minutes before my Alcar.I thought you weren't supposed to take carnitines at the same time as ALA?
As long as you're not mixing them in a cup, you can take them together (i.e. capped).I actually take my ALA 30 minutes before my Alcar.
Cool, didn't know that. Quick question, does na-rala need to be dosed with carbs? I'm doing keto now, and been taking it without any carbs. I haven't had any issues so far. Just curious.As long as you're not mixing them in a cup, you can take them together (i.e. capped).
IMO, If you're not experiencing any hypoglycemic effects, no. However, it could be taken prior to a carb rich meal (when you have them).Cool, didn't know that.

Nope, doesn't need to be stacked with anything else.I've been dosing ALCAR daily 1-2g (depending on how much I have to study) and I've noticed a dramatic increase in sharpness, recalling information, and I do not have to study as long as I used to. It's definitely worth putting in your stack.
One question: Does ALCAR need to be stacked with anything if I am taking 1-2g daily? And are there any long term usage side effects from ALCAR?
I talked to my science major biology teacher and he is also really interested. He is consistently monitoring my homework, involvement in class, sharpness, and test grades. We talked about it being a unique amino acid as it passes the BB. In other words, if it works (which I believe it has) my professor will be on the bandwagon as well.
Hehe, excellent. Add a small dose of vitamin C (can simply squeeze lemon on food) to enhance bioavailability of EGCGGot my SNS Agmatine in today. Can't wait to add it to my morning stack of Alcar, Na-rala, Ephedrine, Caffeine, EGcG.

Wrt....clue me in.Nope, doesn't need to be stacked with anything else.
ALCAR does indeed work; even here at school, clinicians have spoken about its therapeutic potential wrt pathology.
