What's up guys, just wanted to see what everyone else has been taking to help their cognitive ability and focus on the job. I'm currently taking the normal stuff like protein powder, creatine monohydrate, and caffeine from energy drinks/coffee when I need the extra boost. Has anyone taken anything else like Omega 3s or Nootropics etc. that has helped with focus and energy and things along those lines?

magnesium glycinate. Really helped my sleep quality
Interesting, I'll definitely check it out. I've been taking melatonin for sleep but I always wake up so out of it
Cerebrolysin, bromantane.
Quitting
Don't take caffeine it affects your sleep
Protein powder leads to faster aging + weight gain
The benefits you can derive from supplement/nootropic are insignificant compared to sleep + exercise
The psychological aspect is harmful because you start believing you need something in order to function properly, and it will cause you to function worse when you haven't taken it
If you aren't feeling full of energy than you should probably fix that first before you try anything, but by that point you probably won't need it
Totally agree on the caffeine part with tolerance and addiction/not being able to function without, definitely not a good habit and I'm trying to ease off of it. I do disagree on the protein powder part though, I work out 5 times a week and do my best to maintain a respectable physique even though I am an office worker. Supplemented protein powder isn't as ideal as a real source like chicken or steak, but it's better than not using it. Can't say I've looked into the aging aspect of supplemented protein, but for the weight part it's the opposite, protein has a higher thermogenic effect so your body burns more calories breaking it down than fat and carbs. I try not to use it as much, but especially on days where I work late/didn't eat that much, I always try to get some extra protein from a shake.
What's the general consensus around adderall?
Best injected via suppository
take whatever you want
but it's really not hard to eat healthy
most protein powder is contaminated with other random shit
amino acid pills seem fine
Ashwaganda Vitamin D General multi-vitamin Cod liver oil
Coke
horse tranquilizers mixed with LSD should do the trick
