My soon to be stack for mental clarity and general well being.
I throw around kettlebells twice a week as well as running and swimming.
My job requires great short term memory + focus.

- Berocca Focus 50+ (B Vitamins with gensing)
- Creatine
- Fish oil (1000mg)
- Choline (1000mg)
- DMAE (500mg)
- N-Acetyl Tyrosine (700mg)

Suggestions and constructive criticism is encouraged.

PS. I haven't started the choline, dmae or tyrosine yet.

    • For the moment, I'm fine with just caffeine as a "pre-workout". I'm more after improved cognitive abilities and mental clarity for work and social interaction.

    Can't see anything there that's going to do any harm.

    I'm not altogether clear why you might need the 700mg of N-Acetyl Tyrosine? The body manufactures what it needs, of this ... unless you think perhaps you're a bit short of Phenylalanine and/or Tryptophan and therefore not manufacturing enough of it and/or its equivalents, for some reason (in which case it might be a sensible thing to take)?

    I suspect (but can't prove) that you might need such huge quantities of Choline to make any real difference to anything that it's unclear whether it's worth taking. I can easily be wrong, too, of course. :confused:
  • Am a bodybuilder so supplements tend to be the next thing that comes in mind for best physical results. But after years of experience I have come to the opinion is that nothing beats getting good nourishment thru diet, I mean natural food. Our body better utilizes vitamins, minerals .... when it get them in food rather than in Pills or Spoonfuls.

  • Need a test booster with that. Does nothing but help!
  • It IS gold dust to body builders, etc... Why do you think so many use it, etc? Some have even said it is MORE important than PROTEIN! And some have said that it was at least as good as Steroids! And 80% of the claims I saw were made by people NOT selling any such supplement. But WHATEVER! You are RIGHT about the ATP, and I DID say the strength increase was due to better recruitment. In other words, it is NOT that the full strength of the person increases, but that more of the available muscle fibers are used, so more of the power avalable is used at once.

    • Because everyone wants to attain every edge they can acquire and at £10 a pop for 500g of Monohydrate there's little reason for consider otherwise...

      Those people must deeply misunderstand human biology.

      ....and these people (legit) anabolics.

      Regardless, as mentioned there still needs to be a tidy elaboration past that of "Creatine increases strength by 10%" no matter who makes the claim, or how true the claim might be in it's proper format.

      Creatine doesn't increase the availability of muscle fibres. That factor is dictated by CNS / PNS motor programming and fast and slow twitch fibres. It increases the efficiency of muscle fibres by connecting ATP to the myosin head more prominently binding to fast twitch muscle fibres.

      "Power" is by definition a work unit in accordance with time (also know as dynamic effort), so although it still falls under the great umbrella of "strength" it's not strength by itself....
