<section><p>Two days have passed. I’ve found that <ahref="https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1087/alpha-gpc">Alpha-GPC should be dosed at twice what I’ve been using.</a> Today’s the first day that I’ve done that.</p>
<p>It took about 90 minutes to kick in. I’ve taken it with the other supplements - L-Theanine and Lion’s Mane. I had some matcha as well, for the caffeine boost. Despite being a Sunday, and me feeling lazy, and not having slept very well…</p>
<p>I’m genuinely being productive. In 40 minutes I did an amount of work that would normally take me at least a few hours - simply by being able to focus and not have distractions.</p>
<p>There are some parts to this.</p>
<ol>
<li>The Alpha-GPC is undoubtedly affecting my ability to focus and do work, in a significant way. I didn’t expect this to be the case, but the change is profound.</li>
<li>The L-Theanine… I can’t tell if it’s doing anything. I certainly feel less stressed and more relaxed, but I don’t have any way of confirming that’s the case.</li>
<li>I can’t say anything about the Lion’s Mane caps yet. It’s not been long enough.</li>
<li>I have been able to truly focus today, and without distractions at that. It’s certainly a factor in the increase of my productivity - the vast majority of my work has been reliant on constantly switching contexts, which is a <em>huge</em> obstacle for me (personally) being effective.</li>
</ol>
<p>Overall, I am extremely happy with this. These supplements are reasonably cheap, and for what they do, they’re very much worth the price for me.</p>
<p>Being able to focus effortlessly (relative to my normal), and actually think in-depth about the projects I’m working on is a godsent.</p>
<p>It’s not PERFECT, by any means, but the difference is very clear to me.</p>
