On this episode, we’ll discuss using ALCAR as a primary functional component of a nootropic stack, and some powerful accompanying nutrients that combine to form highly effective nootropic stacks.
We’ll discuss the logic of the BASE of a stack, which breaks down thus:
- The base is the primary functional component of a stack. It is the most influential component, and is usually taken in the most MG quantities (compared to the other ingredients).
- The secondary part of any good nootropic stack is the supporting Co-factor. That may be a choline source with a racetam, or something else that facilitates the functioning of the base.
- The third part of a nootropic stack is one or many synergizing complimentary nootropics. Low dose L-Tyrosine, as we use in one of the examples in this podcast, is a good synergizing addition to an ALCAR BASE type of nootropic stack.
- The fourth part of a stack is a balancer. This is merely a synergizing nootropic compound that works to balance out any imperfections in the rest of the stack. Theanine, the calming amino acid, is a good example of a balancer when taken with stimulatory BASE nootropic compounds. The L-Theanine balances out the excessive stimulation of other compounds, and famously, caffeine.
In this podcast, we’ll discuss the following stacks:
1.
- 500MG ALCAR (base)
- 300MG Oxiracetam (synergizing complimentary nootropic)
- 150MG Alpha GPC (supporting co-factor for the Racetam)
2.
- 300-500MG ALCAR (base)
- 100MG Uridine monophosphate (synergizing complimentary nootropic)
- 75MG CDP Choline (supporting co-factor with Uridine + synergizing complimentary nootropic)
3.
- 300-500MG ALCAR (Base)
- 100-200MG L-Tyrosine (synergizing complimentary nootropic)
- 300MG Choline Bitartrate
- 400MCG Iodine (supporting co-factors for Tyrosine)
- 400MCG Selenium (supporting co-factors for Tyrosine)
