ADVICE

Beginner Productivity Nootropic Stack

  • Use L-phenylalanine (500–1000mg), taurine (1–2g) and alpha-GPC to boost dopamine, GABA and acetylcholine for focused work.
  • Add 5g creatine daily to support ATP and maintain cognitive performance, especially when sleep-deprived.
INSIGHT

Creatine Fuels Brain Energy

  • Creatine helps the brain by replenishing ATP, the cellular energy currency, improving cognition under sleep loss.
  • A maintenance dose of ~5g daily benefits most people and can be increased short-term to 15–20g.
ADVICE

Use Nicotine Carefully

  • Consider nicotine patches only for short, researched experiments and avoid habit-forming routes like smoking.
  • Prefer non-addictive alternatives if long-term baseline mood and motivation matter.
