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.

Ray Kurzweil sells it on his website, and I trust that he knows what he is talking about. Yet I can't help shake the feeling that it is a scam. Has anyone tried it? What did you think? Is it worth the money?

325mg is good for just alpha GPC. You'll need a couple more grams for the rest. Might as well just take a B12 vitamin and lie to yourself that you took all the others, because that is what you would be doing.
I think you just found the most worthless, under-dosed, ripoff of a product on the face of the planet. If anyone can find a bigger ripoff, please link it. It should be a contest.

EDIT: Holy shit! They suggest taking 2-6 capsules A DAY! At 6 capsules a day, that leaves you with enough for 15 days at $99.90. That's almost $200 per month! Then you have this little tidbit at the bottom:
Caffeine: Excelerol does not contain any artificial forms of caffeine, but it does contain 75mg caffeine per capsule from natural plants sources such as green tea and guarana.
So 75mg of that 325mg is caffeine. That only leaves 250mg for all the other stuff.. That also means that if you follow their recommendation and take 6 capsules, you are getting 450mg of caffeine. This product is a joke!
