CURRENT PROTOCOL

WHY I USE ITSleep support / serotonin precursor

NOTESHighly personal. Have tried with / without it. Seems to have a positive effect on REM for me personally.

WHY I USE ITSleep onset / circadian support

NOTESIdk man, I just use it.

WHY I USE ITRelaxation and sleep support

NOTESStaple for transitioning into a rest-and-digest state.

WHY I USE ITSleep, relaxation and magnesium support

NOTESDose is total magnesium L-threonate compound weight, not elemental magnesium.

WHY I USE ITSleep quality and connective-tissue / antioxidant support

NOTESTesting this out.

WHY I USE ITSleep-maintenance support

NOTESAbsolutely game-changing for sleep. The single biggest needle mover in that regard.

WHY I USE ITCatecholamine precursor / cognitive performance

NOTESAbsolute must-have if using Bromantane. Generally just a good thing to add in regardless.

WHY I USE ITCholine donor / cholinergic support

NOTESPotential additive cholinergic effects with Huperzine A.

WHY I USE ITMood and cognitive support

NOTESSuper underrated for mood / cognition.

WHY I USE ITWakefulness and performance support

NOTESCareful of stim load in general. Don't want to be redlining it 7 days per week.

WHY I USE ITMitochondrial and cognitive support

NOTESCriminally underrated and inexpensive. One of my all-time favorite cognitive compounds.

WHY I USE ITCognition and circulation support

NOTESDef not an essential here, more of a mechanistic hope.

WHY I USE ITAcetylcholinesterase inhibition / cholinergic support

NOTESPotential additive cholinergic effects with Alpha-GPC; monitor for excessive cholinergic effects.

WHY I USE ITFatigue and stress-resilience support

NOTESReally like this one. Been a long-time daily staple, especially if training hard too.

WHY I USE ITPhospholipid and synaptic-support stack

NOTESAgain not an essential, more mechanistic hope.

WHY I USE ITCognitive and "ODC" support

NOTESAn interesting one, trialing right now. Will report after a few weeks.

WHY I USE ITFatigue / mitochondrial / recovery support

NOTESGreat cost / benefit for endurance work and overall health.

WHY I USE ITGlutathione precursor / antioxidant support

NOTESConsider this a staple — raw materials for glutathione synthesis.

WHY I USE ITCardiometabolic and inflammatory support

NOTESAbsolute staple, like top 3 for everyone.

WHY I USE ITVitamin D and calcium-handling support

NOTESMaybe need, maybe don't. Didn't use it for many years, added it in, and haven't seen the benefit. Highly individual and based on need.

WHY I USE ITMicronutrient coverage

NOTESJust to fill diet gaps. Diet is number 1.

WHY I USE ITBile-acid / hepatobiliary support

NOTESNew addition. Possibly good, but there are also probably better options. Standard oral AAS support.

WHY I USE ITThiol / glutathione support

NOTESBetter than NAC. Consider this a staple as well, based on data and assumption. Not felt difference.

WHY I USE ITMitochondrial electron-transport and performance support

NOTESTrying the higher-dose injectable here. Theoretically performs much better than oral, but we have no actual way to measure.

WHY I USE ITNRF2 and cellular-stress support

NOTESOne of my fav supps of all time that nobody uses. Expensive, but genuinely worth it in my eyes. Have done many trials on / off and deemed it useful. Pretty good data too.

WHY I USE ITTestosterone replacement / performance protocol

NOTESI fluctuate dose up and down. "Down" at 168 mg right now, primarily to pair it with HCG for an intermittent ball-awakening.

WHY I USE ITThyroid-hormone protocol

NOTESHighly individual, usually at 50 mcg. Went down to 25 mcg with SLU-PP-915 in the pic as well as Reta to manage RHR. There's been no difference in my RHR so will likely go back up.

WHY I USE ITVascular, erectile-function and performance support

NOTESStaple, just pairs well with everything else here across many mechanisms.

WHY I USE ITGonadal-support component of hormone protocol

NOTESHighly intermittent. Do feel good on HCG, don't use it often.

WHY I USE ITGLP-1/GIP research

NOTESJust swapped from Reta with the goals of maintaining physique, hunger, and lowering RHR. Source is cheap China stuff so take it with a grain of salt. Tested and quality is good though. May change in the future; no affiliation.

WHY I USE ITNNMT-inhibition research

NOTESWe shall see. Posted a more in-depth breakdown of "why" this one on X.

WHY I USE ITERR agonism / oxidative-metabolism research

NOTES915 and 332 are two of my all-time favorites. This is potentially a high dose. We have no fucking idea. Certainly feels very strong. Extremely rapid capacity improvements in my Zone 2. Need to run it for longer.

WHY I USE ITAMPK / metabolic research

NOTESBacked down to a very low dose here. Enough to feel, but don't need all the potential AMPK / ERR / PGC-1α crossover at the moment.

WHY I USE ITAMPA-receptor positive allosteric modulation / cognition research

NOTESWe shall see. Just started this. Possibly S tier based on mechanism.

WHY I USE ITMotivation, fatigue-resistance and dopaminergic support

NOTESAbsolute S tier. Have used consistently for a few years and will continue to do so.

WHY I USE ITPhysical-anxiety / sympathetic-symptom control

NOTESPotential additive blood-pressure lowering with tadalafil.

WHY I USE ITWakefulness and productivity support

NOTESVery infrequent. Like once a month. Definitely not a daily driver like some guys tell you.
