Used to take KSM-66 Ashwagandha(500mg). Recently started caffiene l-theanine in 1:2 ratio twice a day. It’s effects are pretty noticeable but it does make me kinda gassy. Or is it just me? What do you guys take if y’all even take any?
No, none, my daily life is improved by not wasting money on snake oil.
I should start my own brand of nonsense so I can make a few bucks on posts like this.
333g boiling hot water filtered through 20g finely ground and lightly roasted C. Arabica once a day every morning like clockwork.
It’s effects are noticeable and it’s a pretty popular stack for millions of people but with slight tweaks to account for individual preferences. It doesn’t make me gassy but I do feel more attentive and ambitious which is a common refrain from others on this particular stack.
I do hear reports of bowel stimulation from many folks on the stack but I don’t personally experience this side effect.
I drink two mugs of black coffee every morning.
I do, actually.
Coffee every morning (about 3 hours after waking on weekdays, earlier on weekends) and Nicotinamide Riboside at lunchtime. Creatine some years. For like 15 years now. Ashwagandha (and most vasodilators) are a migraine trigger for me. L-Theanine I didn’t notice any effect.
For anyone else confused:
