Reddit reviews NATURE'S WAY Choline 500mg 100 Tablets

I heard about Niacinamide from here.
>Which form? Bitartrate isn't worth using.

Ah, damn. It's Bitartrate. The reviews seemed promising.

>How much sun exposure do you get? Do you drink Vitamin D fortified milk and eat eggs?

Shit. To be completely honest, I'm very rarely directly exposed to the sun. All my work is done indoors, and I don't drink milk all that much. I'd bet my left kidney that my levels are very, very, very low.

>What's your level of fitness like? Increasing fitness levels can help with energy levels and clarity of thought.

Daily lifting, but nothing too extraordinary.



Thanks for all the help, I'll have to research alot more.

Choline is actually classified as an essential nutrient by the IOM. It is essential in the diet since the body cannot synthesize enough to meet the total need. As a vegan, the risk of choline deficiency is definitely higher since the most common source of choline in most diets is eggs. However, biotin sources are plentiful in a vegan diet so that isn't a nutrient of concern. If you really want to get into the details on choline, read this page and this page. I follow a vegan diet and I have personally chosen to add 250 mg per day of supplemental choline to my daily diet (specifically this one). Obviously many long-term vegans do not supplement with choline and it seems that they manage to get enough through their diet and through synthesis, but I tend to take a 'better safe than sorry' approach. As far as food sources, soybeans, shiitake mushrooms, red potatoes, wheat germ, some beans, quinoa, brussels/broccoli/cauliflower, peanuts, and peas are all moderate sources of choline per serving.

My thoughts exactly!!! I've discovered this subreddit a few months ago and since then the picture has become clearer on what I need to do to improve myself, but I can't focus or motivate myself to do some things I know I want to do. I enjoy the gym, so I go almost every day. No problem there. But the mental work is beyond my reach. I was one of the smartest in my school, and got all A's with almost no work. But when I got to university (that's exactly 10 years ago now), lots of work was required and I failed at that. I graduated, sure, but with a 2.7 GPA, which has prevented me from being taken seriously in the employment market since, even though the school I graduated from is Wharton and even though I was there on a full scholarship.

Anyway, after 10 years of me not performing the way I am sure I am capable of, I started researching what may be the cause of that (also, my "girlfriend" of 3 years broke up with me recently partly because "you lost your confidence that you had when we first met", but that's a Blue Pill example for another day). Went to the doctor (I'm in the UK) about possibly having ADHD, and he reluctantly said he'll start the ball rolling for me to be evaluated. In the meantime, I decided to experiment with some nootropics myself because I just can't take not living up to my potential anymore. Just yesterday ordered Centrum Performance, Choline, Caffeine, Theanine, fish oil and Creatine (and a blood pressure monitor to keep an eye on that just in case). From my initial research, it looks like Caffeine + Theanine is the safest thing to try for beginners. Centrum Performance and Choline should load me up on the B vitamin complex. And creatine should help mentally as well as at the gym. That's what I'll do for now. But Piracetam is my next step if I see no improvement in a few weeks.

As for whether drugs are "an artificial way to boost yourself", I wouldn't stop at anything to make myself a better man. I don't care whether people would say that's cheating or whatever. If there is one thing that the Red Pill has taught me so far (as well as my selfish ex-girlfriend) is that you should do what makes you happy first above all else. If taking nootropics helps me dig myself out of this hole I feel I'm in and helps me succeed, then that's what I'll do regardless of how people label it.

I haven't received it yet, but in the meantime I have a few questions. I've mostly just been doing research on individual ingredients and so I came up with these questions.

1. Why is the dosage of Pterostilbene so small? It's practically a microscopic dosage compared to what is available in standalone Pterostilbene supplements. Is it even worth being there in such a small dose?
   
   
2. What is "10:1" Oat Straw, compared to just Oat Straw? When I search for Oat Straw as a standalone product, there are no ratios of any kind mentioned.
   
   
3. Is Alpha GPC the same thing as Choline? Or are they different?
   
   Thanks

Galantamine and Choline taken together before you fall asleep. Speaking from experience.
