With consistent dosing, the cumulative affects of ALCAR with regards to memory formation, retention, and general mental acuity have been remarkable for me. My thoughts just seem more structured and readily accessible. It's not quite as pronounced or acute as a racetam, but over time it's pretty astounding.
Another member of our rep crew, Mr.Cooper69, got me started on it during the spring semester of last school year and now ALCAR is the one supplement I wouldn't give up over any other. I also like bigger doses [1.5-2g] preworkout for some acute effects of an "in the zone" style focus.NOV || Ohio Chapter || Be more, have less.

Thanks for your information. I might just do some more research and then order bulk powder to create my own stack. Do you have a website of preference for ordering this way? You could PM me if you like.
I will start reading through this thread but can you tell me if nootropics have any contraindictions with other substances?

I've been taking Focus XT (1serv) + Piracetam (~4-5g) for some time and love the effects, but was disappointed when Piracetam prices doubled not long ago, so I'm considering replacing it with something else when I run out of it. Can you guys suggest an inexpensive substitute?
What do you guys think about Focus XT + ALCAR? Or is there enough ALCAR already in Focus XT?

I add ALCAR to my Focus XT because I use an extremely high dose, but Focus XT has enough in it if you don't normally use a ton of ALCAR. You could always use half a scoop of Focus XT, add in ALCAR, and use another half of Focus XT in a few hours with some more ALCAR if you fancy adding ALCAR to Focus XT. More bang for your buck imo.

Thanks for the input guys. So the consensus on ALCAR seems to be that more with Focus XT will increase add to the overall benefits & effects huh? If that's the case I may try that out.
As for noopept, just read some info on it and it looks like a good substitute for piracetam but considerably more costly. Also uncertain about the manufacturers and distributors of the noopept; I think I'd go with more piracetam between those two.
Any other favored combos?

Actually, Noopept works out to being one of the cheapest options. 5g costs about $25, and is dosed at about 20mg/day. About 10 cents a serving.
Of course, the distribution factor always scares people, but where do you think the Piracetam comes from? They're all distributed out of some factory in China.
Aniracetam is also an option, but I'm not sure whether that is cost effective.
