Do you really have to take choline with piracetam.

[L X]

Hello:

I've just bought some piracetam, and reading around on the internet, it seems that piracetam is often advised to be taken with choline citrate or 'AGC'.

a) Is this really necessary? I don't want to keep buying these gross tasting products that I have to fit into my daily regimen.
b) Do I have to use choline citrate or AGC, or can I just eat an egg? What about lecithin (although I would rather just eat an egg)?
c) Can any choline source be adequately converted into the type useful in conjunction with piracetam?

Thanks.

To get the most of Piracetam you'll need some form of choline. It increases its effectiveness and you won't get any bad headaches (which happens if you don't take choline)

I was using lecithin and eating eggs but recently switched to Alpha GPC and noticed a huge difference!! My mood instantly improved and I don't get mentally tired like I used to.

If you're on a budget - get triple strenght lecithin from NOW and if you can afford it - buy some alpha GPC

wish Nutraplanet started carrying alpha GPC in bulk....

Good luck!

Thanks.

There are other sources of choline too, one being DMAE. AGPC is kinda pricey

Choline citrate or bitartrate are plenty fine for this use.

So what are the benefits of the choline piracetam stack?

In my experience, rapidity of thought. Enhanced creativity, mixed with an enhanced analytical side ( a bolstering of both, rather than enhancement of one hemisphere at the expense of the other), improved memory formation and recall, and - depening on how you interepret the above - increased motivation to work and create.

Just received my bulk piracetam from NP. I have lecithin caps 1200 mgs. Will this work? If yes, how many mgs / day of lecithin do I take?

You should take 4-6 per day per 2-3 grams of Piracetam.

Thanks dsade....I assume you mean 4-6 caps. How does regular lecithin compare with alpha-GPC. Some say they noticed a big difference over reular lecithin or choline.

Alpha-GPC is amazing...very potent with effects beyond simply a source of choline. It has an energizing effect, as well as increasing focus.

I ended up including it in my intraworkout formula, and was VERY pleased with this workout enhancement/Recovery aspect.

I agree that Choline + Piracetam is necessary, however when I dose them together I get nauseus- so I take my Piracetam in the morning, and Alpha-GPC later in the day.

That Alpha gpc is expensive stuff! 150 grams at $66! If I dosed at 6 grams per day that is 25 days per container.....is this right?

[rottie76]

You don't need to take that much!!! if you decide to go with alpha GPC 500mg/day is plenty! It's the lecithin that you need 6 grams/day but alpha GPC is much stronger.

Correct.

I reserve Alpha-GPC for my intraworkout drink.

Good to know! What's the differrence between Alpha GPC and Choline Citrate. On BN there are mixed reviews which is better.

Anyone know if Piracetam works best with food or empty stomach.
