    I will vouch for this. I use to buy bulk beta alanine and put some in my morning coffee as my pre workout.

    Keep in mind, it's cacao, not cocoa...very different
    It comes in powder form which you can add to your morning protein powder/shake. It comes in nibs you can take with you and eat one here and there throughout the day (probably most convenient)

    I used to add it to my morning proten but it really amped me up; probably could have just lowered the amount. It's very nutritious as well.

    My combo:

    Alcar (3 grams minimum), n acetyl l tyrosine, cdp choline, and dmae. You can further add huperzine A and bacopa. Ideally add some alpha gpc to this stack but for me I become too anxious. Take these on an empty stomach. Closest I believe you can get is caffeine free brain candy by biotest but I’m not a fan of sucralose.

    If you don’t want to go that route cordyceps seems to work for me too.

    I’m the only person I’ve ever met who doesn’t get the tingles... does it happen every time? How is that not distracting as ****?

    +does science know why it doesn’t happen when it doesn’t happen?
