Summary
Takes L-glutamine up to 2g a day, along with B12 and occasional low-dose stimulants. Says the L-glutamine "lifted some fog," with the effect reproducibly appearing when she starts it and reversing when she stops -- fairly convincing self-testing -- though she notes diminishing returns with repeated use, downsides, and calls the B12 effect on focus only "subtle" and "not reliable."
What they credit
Credits Supplements, B12 injections and methylation, Carnitine, BCAA, amino acids.
