anyone tried this for the brain gains?

Ordered some last night.

Just started taking L theanine and tryptophan before bed as well.
>>
I swear to god at some point someone on this board is going to post a pic of their stack and it's going to have 20 bottles each with a different type of amino acid. This shit is going too far.
>>

BS.
Just get a good diet.
>>
>>36770260
I take

Fish oil
B complex
Magnesium
Vitamin D
Creatine
L theanine
L Tryptophan
Ketogenic diet

so far

This is the result of years of depression and anxiety though. Probable ADD through my whole life. I'm doing everything in my power to give my brain good building blocks

>>
>>36770260
we live in an age where we can fine tune our bodies and brains like a race car. you'd be idiotic not to.
>>
>>36770465

Depending on how much D3 you take you might want to consider adding K2 to your list.
>>
>>36770623
I eat a lot of grass fed butter so probably unnecessary
>>
why not try meditation for brain gains? It's free and seems to work for me.
>>
>>36770489
>bulletproof coffee
As someone who enjoys coffee I really hate this dumb meme
>>
>>36770216

I've been considering Theanine for a while, what have your results been with it?
>>
>>36770216
Take 5 grams of it after having some ephidrine then tell me what's up, ya fucking nerds.
>>
>>36771165
is theanine the one in tea? just drink tea?
>>
I take zma for relaxation, l theanine, maca, & 5 htp for anxiety/depression
>>
>>36771165
it's only been two days but it's really nice. I'm generally a very anxious person and I can finally put my undivided attention to something without being too stimulated. Works really well with caffeine.

>>36771481
It is but it's only something like 15mg. the pills are 200mg and last for 5 hours
>>
>>36771574
Do you need that much theamine? Not being smart, just asking.
>>
>>36771597
It has been extensively researched and has no side effects except sleepiness at high dosages

If you don't have anxiety or attention problems I don't see why'd you'd take it though
>>

>>36770216
You're better off with N-Acetyl-Tyrosine, more bio-available.
>>
>tfw taking theanine
>400mg/day
>still an anxious aspie

>>36771822
>5 htp
what dose do you use? any side effects from this?

>Tryptophan use has been associated with the development of serious conditions, such as liver and brain toxicity, and with eosinophilic myalgia syndrome (EMS), a potentially fatal disorder that affects the skin, blood, muscles, and organs
>Dextromethorphan (Robitussin DM, and others) -- Taking 5-HTP with dextromethorphan, found in cough syrups, may cause serotonin levels to increase to dangerous levels, a condition called serotonin syndrome.

sounds dangerous

>>36771836
