Why is everyone mentioning taurine as if it is a stimulant? Taurine is a necessary amino acid. It regulates cellular calcium levels, which protects various cells from glutamate damage. This is especially good for the car

It's because the people that actually have something to say don't want to talk, and the people that want to talk have nothing to say. Did the world need another article about amphetamine, methylphenidate, and modafinil?
Replying to satoshi_btc · What about nicotine? It is far more useful than caffeine.
I like nicotine too. It certainly can maintain cognitive effects when dosages are kept reasonable. I would not say it is far more useful than caffeine, though. Perhaps for you. No substance on the planet has been more pr
Sunifiram seems to potentiate ACh agonists, and other stimulants. So be careful mixing them. Someone on Longecity already went to the hospital because he mixed high doses of caffeine with high doses of sunifiram. Sunifi
