This something I've never heard of, interesting. Do you think a pre-load of 5-HTP along with caffeine would be better than just one of the two?

Has anyone tried Excelerol? I'm interested in trying it because it is apparently one of the best nootropics out there, but I'm a bit suspicious because I've never heard anyone talk about it on this subreddit.
