Paraxanthine

Will ND ever offer this? I’ve seen this asked before but never seen a response. For a while it was only available in certain premixed products but is now available by itself in capsules but would obviously prefer to buy from ND.
On that note, curious if any ND folks have ever tried it. (As a standalone or otherwise) Also curious to hear any thoughts on its mechanisms from people who can understand all of that better than myself.

I've tried Paraxanthine in Update and in Muscletech's EuphoriQ pre-workout. I enjoy it but agree the 300mg doesn't hit very hard. I workout at night, so I suppose that's ideal for me, but I prefer dynamine which has a pretty short half life so safer to take later in the day. I don't have any sleep issues with paraxanthine though also.

According to that study, paraxanthine should keep you awake BETTER than caffeine. That was in mice, though. I have not personally tried it, so I can't really comment on its effects. We've talked about it before, but I just have not gotten around to trying it yet.
