Caffeine

My favorite stimulant.
Caffeine

Local coffee

Just buy coffee & drink it in the morning.

  • Don't drink it late.
    • The half-life of caffeine in a human body is ~5 hours
  • If you add butter (or any fats) to your coffee, it will slow the absorption
    • This is ~good

Good supplement

I sometimes mix coffee into my shakes or smoothies. I use something called Bodied Coffee by Akimbo, but it's really nothing like coffee for me:

  • 3 Types of caffeine for balance:
    • 125mg Caffeine (from coffee beans)
    • Yerba Mate
    • Green Tea Leaf extract.
  • No calories
    • No sugar
  • Tastes sweet (nothing like coffee)
    • No sucralose etc...
    • Just monkfruit + stevia

Cheap supplement

Sometimes, I don't have time for the pomp & circumstance of brewing coffee... enter caffeine pills by Nutricost (lol).

  • I get the pills & pull apart the shell to dump the powder in drinks
    • I've had friends buy the powder in bulk & mess up the dose... not fun
    • Seriously, just break apart the capsulees
  • They're like 5 cents each
    • more caffeine than a cup of coffee
    • 3 pills == 1 nitro cold brew
  • I usually only do 1/2 pills (and dump the rest in the trash, it costs nothing)
  • Don't get the "focus" pills mixed with theanine (just buy l-theanine separately)
    • Those make me sluggish
