Hello, everyone! So it has been a while since I have logged a product on this forum. As I have in the past, I am open to being a guinea pig... but in this case I am happy to say the ingredient profile for AZOTH 2.0 is listed in detail on their website and on their bottle labels. Therefore, I am confident that I am getting solid clinically relevant doses for nootropic purposes. And therefore I feel that I have evolved from said guinea pig to perhaps a...ferret?...still being tested with but at least I can steal all your **** and hide them....
Anyways... I am VERY experienced with nootropics. I have tried every single compound that could even be labeled a "nootropic" {{unless its something like an obscure Ukranian drug that some tennis player was taking for her heart but not really sure why they were taking it but then you find out everyone takes it, but then it helps them last longer, but wait no it doesn't...well sucks to suck no soup for you (soup = tennis career)... But guess what, I haven't taken that one. Oh well.}}
That said, I have never taken this specific combination of compounds, nor have I attempted to in the past. So this is definitely new/open waters for me. I will be posting regularly on my day to day (and even morning to afternoon to evening to bedtime) routines and how this product may be helping or hindering (yes sometimes supplements can be counterproductive in some senses...) the goals that I am trying to accomplish.
For full disclosure: I have been (and still am) prescribed antidepressants and adderall for a very long history of depression and adhd. Both issues have been in remission (well is adhd really every in remission 100%?...meh) for quite some time. And my dose of adderall has been the same for the past few years. I also tend to consume anywhere from 200-800 mg caffeine per day. Some days take none, it really depends. But general rule of thumb usually average 4-600 if you look over several months. I also take ephedrine with caffeine in a 200:25 ratio (but that maxes out if I get to 100 mg ephedrine... because Myocardial Infarction? Nothing to see here...moving along). Besides that I will likely take pramiracetam and ALCAR on occasion, but I will say when I take those in relation to this product so I can see if they add or take away from the effects.
**So basically I am still consuming my stimulants. This is not a log to gauge if the product can help with abstinence, but rather if it can add to them.**
Day 01: I received my bottle two days ago, on Tuesday, and took 1 capsule in the afternoon. I did not notice much from that dose, but I was honestly not expecting to. The label even says 2-3 capsules as a single dose. So as you may be expecting, I did not notice much.
Day 02: I took 2 capsules yesterday morning and 1 in the afternoon and definitely felt a psychological influence with the 2 capsule dose taken at once with a meal. By “psychological influence”, I simply mean that I could “tell” that my perception was slightly altered. It’s hard to explain it in detail but It is a feeling that placebo effects cannot induce (I’ve actually had friends randomize me sugar capsules or nootropics and I didn’t feel different with sugar pills. Yay science).. was neither good nor bad since I was just handing out for the afternoon watching some movies.
Day 03: Today
This morning I took 3 capsules with breakfast. After this dose I have felt a general increase in my desire to be productive and my flow in completing said productive tasks. For example, I finally decided to put away all the clean laundry that I had in my three baskets. I have been putting it off for quite some time. Would just take fresh clothes from said baskets, but now it’s all put away. I also did the dishes (as you can see I hate chores...) and then finally went to the gym. I felt a lot more focus in the gym. It wasn’t so much that I was “amped” but more like a forced tunnel vision effect. I didn’t notice people around me like I usually do. Just did my workout and left without people watching.
So in the posts that are to come I will be detailing what I experience and as said above will hit on key areas that are significant to my life.
If there are any specific questions of efficacy or aspects of cognition that any of you AM members want me to include/comment on in regard to this supplement, please let me know, and as I progress I will be sure to add my views on them.
Please follow along! I promise many twists and turns. I get bored veeeerrrry easy and this tends to come out in my story telling... Come with me AM members, we are going to candy mountain, but no I am not going to take your kidney (but since Im a ferret I may steal your car keys).
