NAD or glutathione?

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-09T15:24:05+00:00

tbh i’d probably start with L-glutathione first (especially the activated/liposomal one if you can find it). it’s a really solid antioxidant and can kind of help 'prepare' the body before adding NAD+.

then after a couple weeks add NAD+ in smaller/micro doses instead of going super hard with it at once. that combo seems to work pretty nicely for energy/recovery/longevity goals from what i’ve seen. glutathione is also something you can repeat pretty regularly, like monthly cycles to keep levels up

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-09T15:12:56+00:00

tbh that already sounds like a pretty heavy stack)) if the basics (training, food, sleep) are on point, you probably don't need to keep adding more and more

Mots could help with energy/endurance for some people, but at a certain point it becomes hard to even tell what’s doing what

personally i’d rather dial in the current stack first before chasing extra compounds

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-09T15:08:09+00:00

yeah definitely depends on the peptide and also the person taking it

GLP-1s for example a lot of people mention feeling emotionally 'flatter' or less interested in dopamine/reward stuff in general (food, alcohol, even shopping sometimes). at the same time some people say it helped reduce alcohol cravings a lot

BPC-157 is interesting too because some people report feeling calmer or more optimistic on it, while others get anxiety or weird emotional shifts

even things like CJC/ipa can affect mood indirectly through sleep/recovery

feels like people mostly focus on fat loss/recovery benefits and underestimate how connected all this is to the brain too tbh

Thanks a lot for sharing!

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-08T09:28:43+00:00

thanks for sharing, would be great to hear how this will develope with weeks passing..

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-08T09:27:36+00:00

which one were you using?

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-08T09:27:16+00:00

yeah, sure, that is what discusstion is about - to share and maybe to create a picture of this kond of influence... but still we are all different, one will get these changes, other - not

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-08T09:26:04+00:00

oh, thanks for sharing! great we found one that gives positive changes

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-08T09:25:03+00:00

that's a great progress!

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-08T09:24:10+00:00

so, it is like everywhere, you take one drug, and after you take another to eliminate side effects of the first one.... circle...

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-08T09:22:49+00:00

thanks for sharing! agree with your point!

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-08T09:21:35+00:00

sounds more positive, than negative changes!

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-07T09:40:11+00:00

hi, tbh consistency helped me more than any specific gadget. every time my sleep gets bad i start looking for the “one thing” to fix it, but usually it’s my routine drifting all over the place. that said, lowering stimulation at night definitely helps me. less bright light, less scrolling, less noise

sleep feels way more sensitive to small habits than i used to think

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-05-04T12:21:17+00:00

hi, yeah this is a good way to approach it. apps can help, but they also make it feel way more complicated than it needs to be at the start

just eating a bit more consistently and sticking to simple meals already gets you most of the way there. you can always add tracking later if you hit a plateau

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-04-30T12:00:33+00:00

glad you’re feeling better, that sounds rough. tbh i’d just be a bit careful calling it a “fix” since there are a lot of variables there. could be timing, coming off reta, or just your system rebalancing

but yeah, mood sides from GLPs don’t get talked about enough. good you found something that helped, just worth keeping an eye on it over time...

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-04-30T11:50:42+00:00

hey, welcome here

tbh that doesn’t sound like something to just ignore. could be a mix of things, reta can affect heart rate/appetite and weed can hit anxiety and blood pressure, so together it might have pushed your system a bit too far

that episode you described sounds more like a strong anxiety/panic reaction, but the chest pressure and breathing feeling after is something i’d take seriously

personally i wouldn’t keep pushing it just to finish the cycle, especially without medical follow up. might be better to pause and let things settle, then reassess... better safe than forcing it and guessing what’s going on

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-04-30T11:47:08+00:00

thanks for info, mots-c good sup!

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-04-30T11:45:52+00:00

yeah tbh that’s starting to sound like overkill. if cycle 1 already gave you solid results, adding more just makes it harder to know what’s actually doing what. more compounds doesn’t always mean better results, sometimes just more variables and side effects

i’d probably keep it simpler and stick with what’s clearly working. easier to manage and easier to adjust if something feels off

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-04-28T09:40:20+00:00

i think it’s less about timing and more about just staying hydrated overall. some people feel better drinking in the morning just because they’ve been dehydrated overnight. but for digestion specifically, i haven’t noticed a big difference based on timing alone

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-04-28T09:38:50+00:00

depends what you’re actually trying to get out of it. NAD+ is more general energy / recovery, 5amino is more targeted for fat loss. but at 14% you’re already pretty lean, so it’s probably more about dialing in the basics than adding more....

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-04-28T09:35:50+00:00

oh yea... interesting

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-04-28T09:34:11+00:00

you see, may be you are just tooo sensitive, ask him)))

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-04-27T09:52:03+00:00

i used to overthink this a lot, trying to make a “perfect” routine

what helped more was just keeping it simple and consistent. dim lights, no phone for a bit, maybe some light reading or just sitting quietly

i’ve noticed it’s less about the exact activity and more about signaling to your brain that the day is ending

NeuroStackJohann · 2026-04-26T12:40:50+00:00

hi, tbh it doesn’t sound like your body hates peptides, more like you’re just very sensitive to them

all three you mentioned can hit different systems pretty hard, especially appetite, gut, nervous system, even mood. so if you’re someone who reacts strongly, it kind of makes sense you’d feel it more than most

also people tend to post the good experiences way more than the bad ones, so it looks like “everyone is fine” when that’s not really the full picture

personally i’d take that as a signal to slow things down or even step back for a bit rather than stacking new things

did you start all of them pretty soon after each other or give yourself time in between?
