Just buy the ingredients separately and clone the formula. there's 11 of them. It should cost significantly less and will hold much more time.
Vitamin B6
Alpha GPC
Vinpocetine
Bacopa
you get the idea..
When I was last on a pretty extensive cut, I was doing a 20/4 fast. I was taking an EC stack and every few hours I would drink BCAAs with piracetam and choline citrate with the idea of providing aminos to limit muscle catabolism and a choline/racetam to counteract any fogginess in the head that might arise from the calorie restriction throught the day. The only wierd thing was my pooh smelled like choline/racetam.
If this is your intended purpose, I would choose choline bitrate/citrate over Alpha-GPC due to price. Just looking at Amazon, Alpaha-GPC is $0.34 per serving while choline citrate is $0.056 (5.6 cents) per serving.
I bought a ton of bitartrate because it was dirt cheap, but after weeks of tinkering with choline ratios and getting mixed results I did some more reading on Examine and found "choline bitartrate... while it does produce benefits for the body it may not increase neural concentrations of choline reliably.. This reflects the experience I had been having. I bought this Alpha-GPC and one is enough for me.
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.
Thanks
Alright, I read through the sections on supplements and am now looking at these two. Any opinions?

Piracetam is a good place to start with -racetams and citicoline or Alpha-GPC are good sources of choline.
L-tyrosine is useful in cases of dopamine deficiency and should be taken with a B complex, or just vitamin B6, and no food for optimal absorption.
Histamine reactions to NAC are rare, but NAC should be avoided if you do have a reaction.
