Hmm, that is strange, and isn't something I've heard from anyone (not that I'm downplaying or questioning your feedback at all). Did you take both doses WITH food (as in directly before, during, or after eating)? Perhaps that could play into you not feeling much energy. I either like taking it a bit before eating, or at least 30 minutes, even an hour or so, after eating. Feeling anxiety is also a bit strange, as there are many ingredients that have been shown to help reduce anxiety (theanine, sceletium, and bacopa come to mind). We'll get this sorted out; thanks for the honest feedback.
I did take both doses yesterday with food (with breakfast and with lunch). I just took one cap this morning at 8:45am (start work later today) on an empty stomach and I will wait 30 minutes until I eat breakfast. You are probably right as the food hindered the energy boost.
?
Smash them weights!
Definitely still feeling out the dosing.
One of these times...you must try it with your PWO and just dose that a bit lower and add some Agmatine, L-Citrulline or whatever to still satisfy the pump aspect. I really enjoyed this...as you have probably seen in my log..
It really is a nice size "on-the-go" bottle!
It's not just you man. People will always ask about it if you take something in front of them. I prefer to keep it private and take it in the bathroom or take it quickly when it's not obvious to others.
Yup! Small and sleek little bottle.
Non lifters always suspect the worse. Lol
Yes..I feel uncomfortable when somebody sees me popping pills at work that I don't know all that well on a personal level and I try to avoid doing it in front of them in such cases. The people I work with directly...that is a different story! I just pop pills in front of them all night and they think nothing of it. I just tell them they are vitamins and caffeine pills...
So it seems like 1 cap twice a day is treating you much better than 2 caps once a day. Also, as I mentioned before, I'd recommend you not take it with food. It seems like you're doing better taking it before or after food, and with one cap. If you want to try 2 caps again, I'd recommend taking it 30 minutes or so before food, or 30-60 minutes after food like you did with 1 cap. If you do decide to try another cap today, don't take it with food. I probably wouldn't take it with food at all if I were you, especially if you're not noticing the energy from it.
Maybe taking the 30-60 mins after breakfast would be best then. If you have a chance.
No one is saying that you should skip breakfast; there are a few options. Do you eat immediately upon waking? If not, you could take 1-2 caps (whichever you find treats you better) immediately upon waking; perhaps have the caps ready with some water by your bed or something if you're really pressed for time, and eat breakfast a little later. If you don't have time for that, if you eat breakfast pretty soon after you wake up, you could take NootropiMax after eating, maybe 30-60 minutes after you eat and see how that treats you. I know that some people want energy/caffeine/etc first thing in the morning, so I could see why you may want to take it with breakfast, but it seems that it isn't working for you, so I don't see a reason to keep that dosing scheme going. If you really need some caffeine/energy WITH your breakfast first thing in the morning, have some caffeine (espresso, 5-Hour Energy, etc) with your breakfast and then have 1 cap of NootropiMax an hour or so after you eat, and take your second cap later in the day before or after food like you did before and said you enjoyed it more. You mentioned caps versus liquids, so that's another option for you to consider too. Of course, I'd recommend trying the options listed above first, if you're determined to have it WITH breakfast for some reason, you could try emptying the caps into some liquid. It's not going to taste good, so you'd either have to just take it like a shot in a bit of liquid, or add it to something like OJ that may make it more tolerable.
I have never taken mine with food, but I do think that would significantly decrease the benefits. Maybe you set your alarm a bit earlier? Twenty minutes for absorption may be all you need.
Brb, making a stim dispensing alarm clock.
Exactly. Remember, NootropiMax isn't just caffeine/stims; it's a synergistic blend of nootropics and caffeine. Without the caffeine in the formula, it's possible that it may be too calming for some people's taste. Also, I get that he wants energy in the morning with his food, but if it's not working for him, I'd recommend changing the dosing scheme. As you said, you could take it 20-30 minutes before breakfast (which isn't all that much time if you take it first thing after waking up; since you likely have to do some things before eating anyway, perhaps get dressed, take a shower, cook/prepare your breakfast and/or lunch for the day, etc). Conversely, you could take it 30-60 minutes after eating breakfast. I know that people may want some energy WITH their breakfast, but he's not getting that dosing it that way, so it's a moot point. If this is the case, he could have some caffeine/coffee/etc with his breakfast, and take NootropiMax about 60 minutes or so after eating. Those are two viable options that I think are certainly worth considering/trying.
Sounds good. You could have it ready when you wake up (having it by your bed with water is one option), shower, and get dressed and then eat breakfast.
This is exactly what I do, I keep it on my night stand and just take it right when I wake up.
Sorry to hear. Facking hate anixety.
