The Thrivous supplement I have used the most so far has been the Surge Acute Nootropic, which is the supplement to enhance productivity, energy, and focus. It contains Caffeine, L Theanine, and Panax Ginseng (Ginsenoside). So far I have been very happy using this as a pre-work out supplement and a pre-long-meeting supplement.
Let’s take a quick look Inside Surge Acute Nootropic, it has an open source formula (read the label all the ingredients are listed there ) that combines safe and effective natural nootropics.
A quick rundown on those ingredients:
Caffeine probably the most widely used nootropic in the world. Many don’t know, however, that the cognitive effects of caffeine may be better, and the side effects of caffeine may be reduced, when you combine caffeine with l-theanine.
L-theanine is an amino acid found in plant and fungal species. Typically, apart from dietary supplements, the only source of l-theanine in the human diet is tea.
Panax Ginseng is a slow-growing perennial plant native to North America and eastern Asia. It is the most well-studied kind of Ginseng. Acute supplementation may provide a subtle increase to focus.
What I have found that I like the most about surge is not only the great energy and get up and go it gives me but also the fact that I did not get the jitters or that restlessness that I have gotten from some other supplements. ( this is because of the use of L- theanine with the caffeine (with in the proper amounts of course)) This in my book is a double win!!!
Get some yourself and let me know your thoughts?!
Very interesting, John. Good to hear that you aren’t getting jitters as a side effect. Help me understand better about the boost you are getting. Is it primarily an increase in energy level? Or is it improved concentration? Or clarity of thought? How long do you feel the effect? Does it wear off gradually, or is there a sudden drop-off and collapse?
