Hi. Newbie here. Thank you for all that trail-blazed before me. I read a lot here before I ever spent a dime. I am 38 and exercise regularly. I give myself a 7 on a scale 1-10 where ten is the best re: diet quality. I always do the multi-vitamin and basic nutrition supplements thing. Always get plenty of veggies. I usually get 8 hours of sleep. I have been settled at 2-3 cups of very dark coffee in the morning for a long time. Sometimes if I only had 2 in the morning I'll have another after lunch. I also sometimes need a night cap or a shot of ZzzQuil (Diphenhydramine) to go to sleep at a decent hour.
I have traditionally been an herbal remedy skeptic and tried things like Ginko before with no result so was discouraged but after reading about these things over and over here and then vetting elsewhere, I decided on this progression:
* Week 1: L-Theanine (200mg w/coffee), Rhodiola Rosea (500mg in morning) & Melatonin
* Week 2: Piracetam & Choline
* Week 3: Moda or Armo (only 1x/wk. alternate weeks a couple times to see differences)
* Eventually (after we conceive a child later this year or early next year, hopefully): Bacopa monniera
Week 1 almost complete.

I tried the same brand Rhodiola and didn't notice anything. I also did the NOW brand L-Theanine with no noticeable effect. Maybe I should try a different brand...

I'm fond of the Eclectic Institute brand for Rhidiola.
