best supplements for focus?

Caffeine, Creatine, L-Theanine - all work for me

But many of these additional supplements don't move the needle as much as sleep, morning light, hydration, cardio, resistance training and high quality nutrition. Maintaining a healthy body composition.

The problem is, no one is really attending to the basics. The basics do most of the work. Supplements just give a slight edge. Even caffeine has pretty big rebound dips in focus


It is far easier to fool someone, than to convince them they have been fooled.

Bingo. Sleep especially is the biggest one for me. After I started tracking my sleep with a wearable tracker I realised just how much of my mental state on a given day was determined by whether I got 7+ hours sleep or more the previous night.

Cleaning an (average) diet often yields more than adding things on top.

In case you haven't yet: what parts of your diet or supplement strategy could be cleaned up with the same purpose, before adding new things?

PS: Not saying you necessarily have an average diet yourself, but that's the first question without prior knowledge.

This combo is the best. Magnesium, L-Theanine, Ashwagandha and Maca.


Don’t go quietly into that dark night
