In your basic stack above it says 4.8 grams Piracetam with 600 mg Alpha GPC – twice a day. But in your Encyclopedia it says the following:

1x per day
 4800 mg Piracetam
 300 mg Alpha GPC

Can you clarify as I’m a noobie. Thanks

I sure appreciate your excellent website and suggestions on everything! I wanted to ask if you think it is beneficial to “rotate” choline sources by taking a different one each day. Especially alternating between these 3: Alpha GPC ,citicoline and centrophenoxine? Also, do you think uridine would be a good one to “rotate”?
Nui mahalos again, Bob

In reply to Sanhere. Tolerance can become an issue with daily consumption but your subjective experience should be the best guide. Here's an excellent write-up on caffeine tolerance.

Can you take caffeine and L-theanine daily over a long time? I take breaks from it on the weekends. I teach early AM during the week and need it to focus. Very happy with the results so far !

I have found everything very useful on this wbesite although i’m new to nootropics and still reasearching. I am going to go with your suggestion and follow the begineers stack of piracetam, Alphagpc, and lions mane or Bacopa monieri i’m not sure which one is best for me. I already have fish oil, multivitamins, and Vitamin B supplements in my diet as i recenlty came to know i have Vitamin B defeciency. I have also been diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type which is the reason i want to try to nootropics instead of my prescription.I have sleeping problems and i sleep around 5-6 hours which i also want to improve, so for my beginers shall i stack bacopa monieri in the evening and see if it helps me with sleeping? I am going to make the capsules myself, is it okay if i mix the dose of piracetam and alphagpc in the same capsule and take it in the morning with my other supplements?

In reply to Ryan. It's common for people to take nootropics 30-60 minutes before the mentally demanding tasks begin and then once again 4-5 hours later. This type of dosage timing attempts to capitalize on the nootropic's acute effects.

What would you suggest for a shift worker? I’m referring to the times you should take your stacks

I’m looking for alternatives to using stimulant medications on my children. What if anything changes or is recommended if I want to try stacking for my kids.

I also have a general question. About water soluble racetam’s in general. Would there be any harm in premixing them in water for consumption later in the day (for about 8 hours)? Assumptions would be that the misture would stay at room temp. and would be in a dark bottle or stored in a dark location.

In reply to blue stack. The other two choline sources that are able to pass the blood-brain-barrier and have demonstrated nootropic effects are citicoline and centrophenoxine. Here's our guide to choosing a choline source if you'd like to read further.
