A few months ago I came across an article with the title "Improving General Intelligence through Pharmaceutical Intervention" (Anyone can read the abstract here: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289611000195). The stack of nootropics they used increased IQ about 6 points. The study lasted 28 days. I did follow up research on each of the drugs or supplements they used and have obtained and adjusted doses appropriately. My stack has a lot more ingredients than theirs partially because I don't want to deplete any reserve over the 28 day trial. I'm planning on starting the stack as follows on of 1/19/15.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine 1500mg
Adrafinil (No more than 2 times a week) 300mg
Alpha GPC 50% 300mg
Astragalus 1.41G (470mg)
B Super Complex
Choline Bitartrate 450mg
D-3 and K-2 1000IU and 45mcg
Fish Oil 3600mg (720mg EPA DHA)
Huperzine A1% 120mg
Iodine(Every other day) 150 mcg
L-Phenylalanine 500mg
L-Theanine 200mg
Magnesium(Oxide/Stearate) 250mg
Milk Thistle(Only with Adrafinil) XTRA mix 240mg
Multi Gummy from GNC
Noopept 12mg
Oxiracetam 1600mg
Polygala Tenuifolia 150mg
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
Rhodiola Rosea 100mg
Uridine Monophosphate 100mg
Vinpocetine 15mg
Vitamin C 5…

So, besides the adrafinil, you're taking everything you list here every day? Looks a bit overwhelming. You're organs are going to be in for the ride of their life. I presume you are in good health from the standpoint of organ function?
Thanks for the study. I'm going to sit down and read through it soon and see what I think of it.

Most of what he is taking are vitamins, amino acids, and adaptogens. I don't see anything in his stack that would harm his organ function. The only things I would be hesitant over daily use of would be the Adrafinil (he said only 2x/week), Hup-A, and Vinpocetine.
