  1. what are everyone's favorite nootropics?

    wow, now that is an interesting observation...

  2. Best supps for reducing anxiety/improving mood

    is NOW Ashwagandha KSM-66? Maybe you'll have better luck with that?

  3. Fat Burner/Thermogenic?????

    Agreed. I've actually noticed more fat loss when I don't have too much caffeine in the system (pretty sensitive to it). Personally I believe it is because my stress hormones get Jacked up too much on it. Coffee seems to be OK for me though

  4. Intra-workout Carbs, Caffeine, & Insulin Resistance

    EC? ephedrine?

  5. Intra-workout Carbs, Caffeine, & Insulin Resistance

    basically this. I will also share one more study. Caffeine ingestion decreases glucose disposal during a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp in sedentary humans. (2001) This study essentially showed that caffeine reduced glucose disposal by 24% and carbohydrate storage by 23% at rest. So I...

  6. Intra-workout Carbs, Caffeine, & Insulin Resistance

    ^^ thanks! The more references the better :D

  7. what are everyone's favorite nootropics?

    same here. I always go back to aniracetam. Time and time again I always revert to this stack: coffee + l-theanine, ALCAR, aniracetam, vinpocetine, DMAE, and alpha-GPC for the choline source. I get most of this from Powder City, excellent quality. Have yet to try KSM-66 though. I know...

  8. Intra-workout Carbs, Caffeine, & Insulin Resistance

    Well right now I am just taking coffee pre, but I am concerned that if I take some type of preworkout that it could affect glucose levels negatively. I was overweight as a kid and have pretty bad genes in the fat /insulin department.

  9. Intra-workout Carbs, Caffeine, & Insulin Resistance

    Right, so exercise has the benefit of non-insulin mediated glucose uptake. I believe this is because exercise essentially causes Glut4 translocation which allows glucose to be shuttled where it needs to go. But isn't insulin-mediated glucose uptake still important as well? Secondly, caffeine...

  10. Intra-workout Carbs, Caffeine, & Insulin Resistance

    I'm not so sure that insulin sensitivity is reduced for a short time though. The study below suggests that 200 mg caffeine taken twice a day (400 mg total, as you stated) in 16 healthy people can cause insulin resistance for up to 12 hours after administration. Metabolic and hormonal effects...

  11. Intra-workout Carbs, Caffeine, & Insulin Resistance

    Like many of you, I'm a big fan of peri-workout carbs, particularly highly branched cyclic dextrins. However, after researching some pre-workouts that contain caffeine, I was surprised to see that caffeine in physiological amounts is a pretty big inducer of insulin resistance. Obviously this...

  12. Coffee vs Caffeine

    I actually looked at the study again I posted in the OP, and it mentions that the polyphenols in coffee (specifically, chlorogenic acid) may antagonize adenosine receptor binding of caffeine. Essentially, caffeine anhydrous is a better adenosine antagonist when in its pure form as opposed to...

  13. I'm on Phosphatidic acid Ya'll

    I think Epiq puts out a decent product. Never tried it but they have always seemed like a reputable company

  14. I'm on Phosphatidic acid Ya'll

    Lol..?

  15. I'm on Phosphatidic acid Ya'll

    Oh I know, expensive, but the convenient factor wins out for me.

  16. I'm on Phosphatidic acid Ya'll

    Honestly I'm using Micro-PA by Biotest and am loving it. I know it is expensive and some people aren't a big fan of Biotest but it is a very convenient way of getting 750 mg of PA.

  17. Coffee vs Caffeine

    You know, that is a great point. There is something to sipping on a coffee for an hour and easing into the day, as opposed to downing a 200 mg caffeine pill. Another thing I've been wondering about is insulin sensitivity. Coffee seems to be good in the long-term because of chlorogenic acid...

  18. Best Probiotic

    I like Life Extension Probiotics Balance.

  19. Coffee vs Caffeine

    Just wondering what you guys prefer when it comes to either nootropics or a even a pre-workout. Lately I've noticed caffeine seems to stress me out more than coffee, even when the caffeine content is more or less the same. It is nice to start the day with a stimulant but I feel like getting...

  20. I'm on Phosphatidic acid Ya'll

    For real? Wow I didn't know it got any love around here. Thought people had more success with berberine
