Dietary stack notes

 I think I figured out how to use B-complex this past week, so I'm gonna do a quick recap on the intra-day benefits I SEEM to be getting from dietary supplements studied thus far:

- B-complex (includes B12, but usually in tiny amounts, like 10-100 mcg): raises metabolism and blood sugar. Generally useful if I am going to be physically punching things, and want to feel ready. Best ingested after breakfast, or exercise, almost NEVER before trying to sleep. Avoid to avoid the antsy muscles feeling, or if there is slight bacterial infection where sepsis SEEMS to be exacerbated by blood sugar boosts - that uncontrollable tingly ticklish feeling around the face, neck, and other muscle groups which comes from the sugar high, heat generation, and reduction in muscle control. Thinking about this now, I might as well just take a generic multivitamin instead.

- B12 (500-1000mcg): doesn't seem to make me burn hotter, but appears to boost neural tone significantly. It pretty much seems to amplify (the rate of data processed for) anything I set my mind to ... analytical focus, kinesthesics, or sleep ... which also means you gotta pick one direction to go in and avoid contradicting yourself mid-boost.

- creatine monohydrate (2-3g): plenty of literature on that; go read about it; at slightly higher-doses (barely 5g in my case) makes me antsy but not warmer; deadens reflective ability, but helps with rote tasks - reminds me of how caffeine has a cognitive tunneling effect; possssibly due to involuntary tensing of muscle resulting in awkwardly shaped proprioceptive data which then becomes a distraction.

- caffeine (0.5 - 3.0 espressos): as above but stimulates the sympathetic nervous system considerably; needs to be balanced with action on the parasympathetic nervous system via exhalation resistance exercises (many people cheat and use nicotine), or ... 

- fish oil (1-3g doses, up to 5g/day): ... which lowers blood pressure, and seems to encourage my heart to pump hard but slow (there are papers on this); more reading required; remember the side-effect: it's also a blood thinner, so you should be wary.

- protein powder (13-30g protein content): general dynamics, better kinesthesia, actually food, a macronutrient, helps my immune system to reign in histamic/runny-nose symptoms which seem to pop up whenever I haven't eaten enough protein AND am under physical and/or cognitive stress
