What do these do and how do you use them? What doses etc?
How much Omega 3 do you take?

Thanks

Zana

alcar is involved in transporting fatty acids into mitochondira for metabolism. some evidence for increaseing energy levels, adhd, preventing depressive relapse (although, not much evidence). also something about stimulating acetylcholine and phospholipid synthesis, and anti-aging (which is related to the mitochondrial enhacment). i think it seems noticable when i pulled an allnighter to make me feel less weird, and i rarely notice sup or drug effects. its cheap and doesn't taste foul so i use it, 1/2 tsp a day

PS reduces cortisol and enhances memory, i think. i don't use, cortisol=awesome.

i take 2g of EPA+DHA

I don't understand why you don't use the PS (so much easier to spell.)

well i didn't really think about it until i was out of $$ to try sh*t, and although i haven't had cortisol tests, my symptoms are generally consistent with hypocortisolemic state
