Any intermittent-fasters here? When do you take your Noots?

Original post in this thread

I am struggling because I am not sure if the supplements break the fast and by the time I break the fast with a meal it's noon and I want to be able to be sharper in the morning especially since I don't drink coffee.

​

Thanks for any advice!

Hi! Your comment caught my interest. I want to maximize my supplement absorption by taking them on an empty stomach like you said but at the same time I want to maximize my fasting (like through eating one meal a day) for autophagy.

How long before eating my meal should I down my supplements? An hour? Less or more? Thanks! I want to make a good balance. Basically, after how long should most supplements finish getting absorbed?

I actually spoke about the fasting/autophagy thing a couple months back.

Here to warn the community that I've experienced debilitating rebound anxiety when taking l-theanine. It was 100 percent this substance. Quit a week ago and back to baseline. Theanine is going in the trash.

Nothing is stopping the crash. 5 Hour Energy is overpriced bullshit with a lot of marketing. The other ingredients are not at effective levels, or are bioavailable types. Drink some coffee, take a B complex, and have som

Something is wrong with this sub

Replying to amirrorbehind · One of the contributing factors is the cult of celebrity. I need not explain who nor am I criticizing, but once a respected member of our community turned into a research chemical…

Yep, my fault guys. I'll just stop posting, and things will get better. It's all on me... You can all go back to caffeine/L-theanine, long winded modafinil, and "does piracetam work" posts. No need to advance the communi
