What got worse for some people
In their own words
“supplementing choline by itself seems to have a similar effect on me that the piracetam does (in that it makes me feel out-of-it)”
“When I was taking choline with it I noticed no change in the effects - it also smells awful but tastes kind of good.”
“Took choline, but I guess you'd need to mainline gpc or something cause it didn't help.”
“1 gram of choline biterate and strong cup of coffee. I haven't noticed any effect!”
“the choline brought me out of a dark pit of depression and anxiety”
“I had brainfog issues when i was taking too much bitartrate. I knocked it down to about 250 mg daily and it worked perfectly”
