Big fan of ND! Thank you to the team and all the members who contribute with their knowledge and insights.
I’m looking to cut about 15-20 lbs. I recently cleaned up my diet. 37/M I hit the gym lift weights/resistance & do cardio 5x per week. I recently started taking the following:
Berberine Phytosome-1,100 mg (550 mg early AM before gym/550 mg PM)
Hesperidin-500 mg (early AM before gym)
OptimALA-one capsule (early AM before gym)
EGCG-1 tablet (early AM before gym)
(-)- Epicatechin-250 mg (early AM before gym)
BetaEcdysterone-1,000 mg (500 mg AM after gym/500 mg PM)
Tart Cherry-500 mg (250 mg AM after gym/250 mg PM)
C3G-500 mg (250 mg PM with lunch/250 mg PM with dinner)
Are there any other new or older products I should add to this stack or remove any? Appreciate the help.

Do you have any recommendations for non-stimulating fat loss and appetite suppressant supps? I use Hesperidin, ALA Cyclodextrin and Sesame successfully for a while now (lost 27kg) and actually I feel like Infini-B with its 25mg dose of r-5-p has a fat burning effect too compared to Thorne's Basic B-Complex.
However I'm very sensitive to stimulating things (slow COMT, slow MAO). I can't tolerate C3G, Berberine (including the phytosome version) and EGCG. I haven't tried Quercetin yet, since it is supposed to be stimulating.
I just started Nobiletin for fat loss as well as circadian rhythm (dosed AM) and my sleep is disrupted majorly. I did not expect that one to be stimulating at all!

Hitting AMPK is crucial for fat loss, so getting away from the stimulation is tough. Activation of AMPK is what triggers the oxidation of fat in the body. Quercetin will hit AMPK/MAPK, so it will likely be stimulating for you.
