> Sounds great! It's more dramatic than my experience, but like you, I have zero side effects at ~1.5-2 grams a day, although some of these bulk powders seem pretty acidic, so they might not be good for your teeth. I plan to buy a capper, any day now...

>Yeah, Alcar is certainly acidic, but I first stir mine in half a cup of water & down that, then swill my mouth round with another half cup of water after. It gets rid of the taste so I assume it gets rid of the acid too.
Cant remember exactly how long I've been on Marplan but it kicked in a long while before I started ALCAR. And so did it's side effects, one of which was some daytime sedation but ALCARs kicked that in the but!
As for the HGW, not too sure really. Last time I took it I was sleepy after 2-3 hrs. I'm gonna leave it a week, let things settle then try it again. Something tells me that it may actually act as a stress reliever more than a stimulant. First time I took it it felt like a stimulant but to be more exact IT HELPED ME COPE WITH A STRESSFULL SITUATION. I guess thats not quite the same as stimulating but had I not taken it at that time I think that I would have become overwhelmed with stress - sweating, getting irritable, shouting & throwing things, ets. The HGW seemed to avoid me getting into this state.
Once I've played around with the dose & tried it a few more times in different situations then I'll report back.teck
