As a rule I don`t mix caffeine sources unless its a cup of rocketfuel coffee.
I get your point though. I just can not help but think there is a simple answer to our needs. There has to be a way to convince the body to adapt over to a type A like personality with energy to spare without draining the adrenal glands or od-ing on stims. Some people got it, and their diets are complete trash compared to ours. I wish I knew a legit hypnotist to experiment more on the mental part of it. I experimented a while back with meditation, but could not get what I wanted out of it in regards to energy. Always need a good dose of something to get that baby awakened. Once my CNS gets excited I am usually good, but still you always run the risk of draining the adrenal glands over time..
Maybe we just work too much in the day jobs
Or better training, dietary & sleep habits so that the adrenal glands etc aren`t burnt out
Ginkgo is supposed to be good for the brain I am told, but I could not get anything out of that really. But again with herbs you need a fresh and trusted source. I will have to revisit this too and find a good source.
Tried Ginko, felt nothing.
This sounds like something I may have to look into. I assume the dosing varies from day to day which makes it tricky?
I only took it on training days. For some bizarre reason 1-2g (recommended dose 1-3g) would deliver different results on different days. If it happened to be a running day & the lower limbs blew up with blood it was a no go.
Focus & energy on it was quite noticeable.
No, at least not enough to cause concern and make me note it. BUT, I do believe I get a side effect that may be related….I consistently get acid reflux from it.
It has happened way too many times to be anything else + I rarely get acid reflux from anything else.
No acid reflux this end, very few things ever do.
Might be the creatine.
I just don`t like this extended "zoned" feeling it gives. Sometimes I feel like that for 12 hours which is not good. No other similar styled product has ever had that effect on me before.
