Good afternoon all,
I am a 22 year old male who has had a vast interest in the world of supplementation and nootropics for years. My ultimate goal has always been to optimise human performance in all aspects in life specifically; muscle growth, atheletic performance, cognitive performance, overall looks, optimal motivation, optimal testosterone levels and libido function.
I politely request any knowledgeable folk on these topics to take the time to read my post and provide assistance in how I can improve/optimise this stack based on my goals.
I will attempt to keep this as short as possible to avoid sounding a bore, however I have had my fair share of experiences with a large range of muscle building/atheltic performance supplements and cognitive enhancers that includes nootropics. However, I will never touch steroids/sarms as I do not wish to hinder my natural testosterone production in my body. Please note for the duration of this post that I will not pin anything and everything I run will either be orals or nasal sprays.
I have previously ran far more aggressive hormonal heavy stacks that includes the herb Fadogia Agrestis which I have a lot of stories about my interesting experience to say the least that I would happy divulge in if people are interested.
I am running this current stack:
10mg BORON
333mg Ashawaganda
333mg Shilajit
1250mg Lions Mane
6g Creatine monohydrate
1200mg Beta-Ecdysterone
300mg Epicatechin
1500mg Lipsomal Turkesterone
750mg Phosphatidic Acid (M-TOR PATHWAY)
4000iu Vitimin D3 + 100mcg K2
50mg Astragin + 500mg Ginger Extract + 10mg Black Pepper Extract
CYCLE: Semax NASAL peptide 200-400mcg per day (3 weeks on, 3 weeks off)
As you can imagine, this is a 25 pill/capsule stack.... it can be quite heavy to digest and absorb efficiently therefore I added the Astragin mix to assist in biovalibility and to ensure I am getting all out of what I can in these supplements rather them being put to waste in my liver/gut. I also added it for overall liver/gut health as I appreciate how strenous on the body 25 pill/capsules can be on the insides. However, as a further safety insurance supplement, I am considering adding NAC, is that worth it?
For folks wondering why my Ashawaganda/Shilajit dosages are so low, personally for me it works better that way. I have previously experimented with higher dosages of both in the past and the negatives seemed to otuway the postitives as I became "too relaxed" which started effecting my output.
Semax has been an absolute game changer. An incredible add, people need to understand that sometimes for a synthetic compound like Semax.... less sometimes is more. I take 400mcg on work days and 200mcg on days I am off work and go to the gym as a pre-workout boost. Taking too much of Semax can become very overstimulating and therefore become counterproductive on the main goal of.... focus. Therefore, I personally stick between these 2 lower dosages so I can attain the optimal benifits while reducing the liklihood of tolerance and the peptide backfiring on me and working against me. Semax for me was quite literally like somene putting a key in my brain and unlocking it - my output has been insane allbeit I am cycling off now. I can go in further depth if people wish for me to do so.
I appreciate in my stack there are a lot of anabolic compounds that primarily aim for muscle/strength growth. All have been worth it par from one I am undecided with: Epicatechin. I know this may sound insane but I am very in tune with my body and pin picking which compounds are causing what positives/side effects such as on my last stack I had A LOT of side effects and I managed to locate the mole being fadogia agrestis and I removed it and reinvented my stack. Almost like I did with the shilajit and ashwaganda I knew they were causing the unwanted and substantial feeling of extreme relaxation that was effecting my motivation and output therefore I tweaked it and it worked. I know the least beneficial one is Epicatechin however I am not 100% and would like to hear from you guys.
I ask for overall thoughts on this stack: anything you would remove/replace/add and why.
I am more than happy to go into further detail if people are interested I just don't want to bore people.
Many thanks and Kindest regards.
