TTT.

So what do you think, Terumo? Do I have too much shit thrown together? Once again, are there any contraindications in my Premium Custom Formula I'm not aware of?

Also, what would your dream custom formula look like? I know you use Power Drive, but I was wondering what you'd come up with in a mental exercise.

Thanks for bringing this thread to my attention. You made an excellent thread, here. I did the homeade Powerdrive thing back when it was $30 for 25 servings. However, now that the price is significantly reduced, I just started buying it because of the flavoring and convenience. [Anyone else notice that the price reduction was in sync with Biotest taking Gingko out of the formula?]

I would totally vouch for your formula, in theory. However, nootropics have to be tested. Neuroscience is fairly tricky stuff, and sometimes combining two stimulants results in a tranquilizer. You never know.

What would my dream combo be? Hmmm... Like if I had to retake the MCAT or something? USMLE, perhaps? It would be a tough call, because this is all theory, but I might test-drive this one:

DMAE + Phospahatidylcholine + Piracetam + Modafinil or Methylfinadate

I would have to toy with the concentrations, and who knows... It might not even work thanks to receptor kinetics, individual response, or god-knows-why.

Once more--kickass post, Madmick.

x100. Glad you bumped and edited this, Madmick. This is one I missed originally, but have been quite curious about the topic lately.

Terumo, that's the second time I've seen you mention mofadanil. That was a highly controversial substance on the other boards and reources I explored when I composed this thread. Some seemed to think its benefits were overrated; others tended to believe that regardless of its potency it was too dangerous.

What's your take on it? Is it the juice? I mean: is it the most effective neurotransmitter pharmocologically? What are the risks? Does it have a strong synergistic effect in concert with another substance(s)?

I'll be trying out the Power Drive Imitation formula stacked with Piracetam. Once I get all the components in the mail and try it out I'll post some feedback.

Great info, btw.

BTW, Topcat, don't forget flavoring.

I take my neurotransmitter formula with my Accelerade, but I've never been known for my discriminating tastes. The only thing I couldn't take down was a hydrolyzed casein powder from TP that was around 25%-35% of that stuff. I could even take down straight AAKG in water (although that made me kinda queesy).

God fucking awful.

Pure hydrolized 520 whey is the worst thing I've ever taken down... for some reason mixing it with warm water instead of cold seemed to help a little.

After several weeks of using Power Drive I'm still unimpressed with the product.

Good to know. Like you, I was never dissatisfied with Neurostim. That added a noticeable kick to my mood.

But Hydrolyzed Whey 520 is nothing. Fat Wilhelm also tried a hydrolyzed casein from TP, and commented on it. He mentioned that he mailed the guys at TP about the taste and they informed him the hydrolyzed casein is 10x as bitter as the hydrolyzed whey.

I've had both, and it's 10x at least.

I highly doubt I could take down even a 5% powder of hydrolyzed casein (even the rest was dextrose).

Hydrolyzed dairy protein is one of the most vile things a human can consume. It makes me wonder about Surge... Either the label is a blatant lie, or Biotest has hired a flavoring god.
