Definitely. However, it just needs to be used in moderation, due to the side effects and tolerance issues. Don't get me wrong, amphetamine has it's place. I just think it's used too often for things that nootropics could handle better.

Correct. It's all about balance with dopamine. Too much and your gains in focus turn to compulsions. Those with lower levels will see more improvement than those with naturally higher levels. I would not suggest to some

Don't drink Gatorade, drink smart water, coconut water, or get electrolyte tablets that dissolve in water. I use the tablets all the time in the summer here in AZ. I mountain bike, and sweat out most of my sodium and pot

Many of you may remember the issue that came up with Cerebral Health/Bioscience Nutraceuticals a few months ago, where their choline bitartrate was numbing people's mouths. After sending those samples in to the lab, the
