I thought it would be cool to stimulate discussion about everyday supplement phenomena that we kind of just "accept" without looking too deeply into them.
For instance,
How come I can consume a caffeine tab under what are perceptibly identical conditions and have a different response to each tab?
or
Why do I get the BA tingles some times, but not other times, even if taken fasted both times?
But I'll start. The one that's on my mind is due to the fact that I'm pulling an all-nighter with two scoops of Craze (original batch if it means anything) and my interest was piqued by my extreme fluid consumption. I brought a 1 L bottle with me and have now filled it up and consumed it 3 times, and it's only been 1.5 hours since taking Craze. It seems every time I take Craze, I get some insatiable thirst.
So question #1: What is it in Craze that causes polydipsia?
My gut tells me this can't be physiological (osmolarity shifts across cell membranes) but rather neurological. The hypothalamus mediates thirst, and it's well-known that anti-cholinergics can cause excessive thirst. This would be in line with PA's postulation a while back that dendramine is an anti-cholinergic. AND it would also explain the blurry vision that users, including myself, notice as well (cycloplegia). What are your thoughts? Depending on the mechanism of anti-cholinergic activity, would co-administration of Focus XT be advisable to reduce these side effects? Anecdotally, the answer is yes (solo ALCAR seems to aid the vision issue too). But I want your thoughts!
And more importantly, does anyone else have curious phenomena they'd like to share and mentally masturbate about?
