And what do you care? Let people run their experiments however they want and either suffer the consequences or reap the benefits. Unsolicited input on every little thing serves no purpose. Besides, I never once called it a nootropic, it's clearly labeled as a stimulant; the real nootropic is how my mind just naturally functions when unburdened by ADHD.

Make fun of it if you wish, works for me. 

I'm making fun of the term "nootropic" in this thread, not your choice to use a chemical. All power to you.

It's noninvasive , electric stimulation device that sends a current through the brain. Im gonna make a post about it once it arrives and I've tried it, if it works I'll let ya'll know.

Interesting, please do so!

I use brain.fm music, it's quite a leap of music technology.

True enough, it's very loosely thrown around. I just didn't want to start a separate thread to post my protocol in. Apologies for getting a bit defensive.

Dank je wel, same to you. A few minor observations is that Creatine is rather stubborn at dissolving in water, so I'll switch it to tea instead. Glycine water on the other hand is very pleasant to drink. EVOO is also nice, plus here in Spain it's HQ and dirt cheap. I've noticed that almost immediately after downing all my morning supplements I feel a bit odd, like a mix of nausea and anxiety, which passes after 3-5 min tops. It's likely due to the new addition of MSM, should go away soon enough once body adapts. What else, think I fall asleep a good deal quicker on the nights I take Vit C instead of EGCG, guess a dose like that makes one sleepy, but cannot be taking it every day. I can already see improvements in my immune system, in the past when going out in weather like we have now I'd be lucky not to catch a cold, but lately it's been just fine. 
Get a pill organizer like this if you don't have one already, it's pretty much perfect.

Didn't find it particularly effective tbh, perhaps my ADHD is just too bad. What works though is tunes associated to a specific positive experience, like the one played in a TV scene that gave me an idea that started the chain of events leading to buying my apartment. Different ones for each activity of course — one for ingenious planning, another for chill methodical work, the third for working out or getting hyped up before a big event.

@LambdaDelta It took me 4-5 days for my body to adapt 

Interesting to see brain.fm doesn't work for you. It just insanely clicked with my Mind from minute 1

Update 23/01

Positive effects are starting to become continuous even on rest days.

Brain and inner experience is more stable, takes more to move me away from equilibrium and less to return back again into balance.

Clarity and holism go on increasing.

To be improved: Sleeping routine, as I feel there are profound biochemical upgrades happening in my self that need time to integrate and rest.

I've been considering trying it, are you happy with it? How would you describe the effects?

[Wilhelm44]

I made a smoothie with blueberries, strawberries, one teaspoon of creatine, and one teaspoon of wheatgrass powder. I became limitless, I could see the Nasdaq price 2 hours into the future (:)

Microdosing Golden teacher mushrooms is also a good idea.

This lifestyle definitely makes you more attune to the feminine, and for me personally i was always angry when i ate meat and animal products and severely out of touch with my feminine side, but yes too much for some people can be a hindrance too. Vegetables would be more masculine.

Animal products for me, i find too masculine / aggressive, too much testosterone. I had a lot of kidney pains personally from animal protein.

I just looked up 5 mangoes and 10 bananas on Cronometer. Both give a lot of copper but little zinc, which alone could explain this (forgive my reductionist brain). I one time bought a copper supplement and I hated it because it made me feel like an emotionally unstable woman lol.

Mango is actually surprisingly nutritious. All it really needs is B12 and it's like the egg of fruits. But nothing beats kiwi, but it's like scarily nutritious and sort of unbalanced if you were to eat it and nothing else (insane amounts of vitamin C and K).

Doesn't that taste like absolute battery acid?
