Feedback on pre-workout stack?
Original post in this thread

Hi folks,
Premise: I’m quite sensitive to caffeine, it affects my sleep if taken too late in the afternoon.
For this reason, in these months I’ve started taking an espresso only at breakfast. Previously I was doing 1 breakfast + 1 lunch.
So far so good, but I have yet to find a good caffeine replacement for post-lunch tiredness... I feel I’m missing something to keep going through all the tasks at work and then at home in the evening.
That being said, I’m starting to working out again and I’m trying to assembly a pre-workout stack. The fact is that I can’t workout in the morning, thus I’ll go to the gym at around 6pm.
Do you think that TeaCrine could work? Considering its long half-life, I was thinking about taking it after lunch at about 1:30/2pm in order to be ready when I go to the gym. Would it affect my sleep?
The rest of my pre-workout stack would be: cordyceps, agmatine, taurine. I’m considering throwing in also an adaptogen, such Rhodiola or PanaMAX or eleuthero, and maybe citrulline in the future.
The other supps I’m taking are: multivitamin, fish oil, Vit D, magnesium malate, grape seed extract, shilajit and boron (cycles).
Thanks!

Would using bio perine or another absorption enhancer have any effect with vitamins competing for uptake?

Only the ones that are low bioavailability due to p-glycoprotein. Piperine is just a p-glycoprotein inhibitor. So unless whatever you are taking is a substrate for that, it won't have any effect on it.
