  1. How many use agmatine for health benefits?

    So, for general health benefits what dose is everyone using? Would 500 mg twice each day (morning and afternoon) be better than taking 1 g in the morning (and nothing in the afternoon)...or does it not really matter?

  2. Bulletproof MCT Coffee mixture?

    I have to admit, I've always hated the taste (and even the smell) of coffee but a few weeks ago I tried blending butter and coconut oil into coffee and loved the taste and energy it provided. I've since switched to adding butter and coconut oil to matcha green tea and really like it too.

  3. Adaptogens?

    Has anyone noticed a pretty big increase in irritability/anger when taking bacopa? I've noticed that I become very short tempered when taking it but nothing has worked better for me with regard to focus and "brain fog". So, I'm trying to figure out why it might be causing the anger issues.

  4. DLPA oh my

    Well, after reading your experiences with it (and reading more about dlpa online), I decided to go ahead and purchase some to try it for myself. I just purchased the 500 mg capsules and will probably start with that dosage first (once or trice a day) to see how I react. Depending on the...

  5. DLPA oh my

    I wonder how it would react when combined with a higher dose of Rhodiola (which for me provides a pretty good mood boost but also seems to have a sedative effect...I'm assuming because of the increase in serotonin).

  6. Vinpocetine or Ginkgo Biloba

    Maybe I'll give vinpocetine a try then (probably at 5 mg, 3XDay to hopefully prevent headaches oar lethargy from developing).

  7. Adaptogens?

    Good idea. I'll give that a try. Thank you.

  8. Adaptogens?

    For anyone taking bacopa...what's your preferred brand? I've tried Swanson's Bacozine (250 mg) and Himalaya Pure Herbs twice each day and both have caused sedation (taking it with rhodiola). Also, if you've found something that stacks well with it that negates the sedative aspect, I'd...

  9. Vinpocetine or Ginkgo Biloba

    Haven't heard about that one. I'll have to read up on it some more.

  10. Adaptogens?

    It's a good brand/product and might work better for you than the Gaia brand (won't know until you try). If you find the dosage of the Eclectic product to be too high, you could always just open the capsules (mix half with a liquid and drink it; close the capsule with the remaining half). If...

  11. Adaptogens?

    Both brands seemed to be really good quality to me. However, due to the dosage differences they had different effects. If you're mainly looking for something to help with low energy levels and a slight mood boost, then I'd go with Gaia as it seems most people (including me) do better with the...

  12. Vinpocetine or Ginkgo Biloba

    Is there a brand that works best? Been reading about ginkgold by natures way but was wondering if it's much better than other brands to warrant the higher price. Also, if you or anyone else knows of a better vasodilators than ginkgo or vinpocetine then I'd appreciate other suggestions.

  13. Adaptogens?

    Thank you for the info. I've tried l-theanine in the past but never felt anything from it. Also tried aniracetam with cdp choline. It definitely helped a lot with anxiety but also made my brain fog worse. Recently stopped using bacopa (which was great for anxiety and focus) because it made me...

  14. Adaptogens?

    Did you and your wife find it very sedating? Thinking about taking it with the rhodiola and hoping for something to take a little of the edge off my anxiety but not make me tired.

  15. Adaptogens?

    Did you try the Gaia brand of ashwagandha? The actives seem really low compared to other brands but was wonder if it was still as good or better because of the quality.

  16. Vinpocetine or Ginkgo Biloba

    What about circulation throughout the body...does vinpocetine help with that or is ginkgo better for that purpose? This may sound strange but my wife is always commenting/complaining about how cold my hands are and the blue tint to my fingernails most of the time (been that way as long as I...

  17. Vinpocetine or Ginkgo Biloba

    Which is better for improving blood circulation (both in the brain and body)? Also, what dose and brand have provided you the most benefit? For Vinpocetine I'm thinking 5-10 mg, 3Xday and either Jarrow or Source Naturals. For Ginkgo I'm thinking 60-120 mg, 2Xday and either Life Extension (read...

  18. Adaptogens?

    Has anyone tried stacking ginkgo with rhodiola? I'm thinking I might need something to help with circulation (as long as I can remember I've had very cold hands and even a blue tint or coloring to my finger nails)?

  19. Adaptogens?

    I've tried both the Gaia Herbs and Eclectic Institute brands (albeit, only for a week) and definitely prefer Gaia. Both work but due to their dosage differences, seem to have different affects. The Gaia Herbs brand seems to eliminate my exhaustion (with maybe a slight boost in energy) and...

  20. Adaptogens?

    Thank you for helping clear that up for me.
