I am creating a nootropics mind map. Does anyone want to give me constructive criticism or contribute?

It's obviously far from finished, but here is what I've got after about an hour of working on it last night. I'm using this format because this is how I learn most effectively. I apologize if this is not "official" enough with citations, etc. It's a work in progress. If anyone wants to contribute, I've selected Xmind as the format, and I could host it in a shared dropbox folder, unless you have better ideas.
EDIT 1: Thanks for the positive. Let's make this a collaborative effort. Instead of hosting and getting multiple random versions, I think it would be best if we all share a folder. That way we can track version changes and roll back if needed, e.g. someone deletes everything then saves. Please PM me your email address (the one linked to your dropbox) and I will invite you to my dropbox folder...unless someone can suggest a better way to host this for collaboration.
UPDATE: I've added a little more data to the TLDR noot map. I am going to host it here for download.. New Screenshot http://i.imgur.com/CGdfg.png Here is where you can download the Xmind file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bkd1o0kvzmmpg5u/Cognitive%20Enhanc…

Thank you for the long and well thought out reply. Can you help me with this project? Also, would it not be best practice to take antioxidants anyway?

Yes, but not melatonin. Alpha lipoic acid is a great antioxidant, as is grape seed extract. Long-term administration of melatonin in healthy subjects can mess up natural circadian rhythms. Also, the dosage and time of administration is not optimal for it's antioxidant properties.
What is your ultimate goal with this? To be honest, I have absolutely no idea what's going on in that thing. Perhaps I just don't understand mind maps. I would prefer a very different design to relay the information, with direct links to studies as proof for each statement.
