Comment on Ask HN: At what age did your cognition start to decline?

Comments

When my parents moved to a different part of the UK, where the water was calcium rich (very hard water) and we'd previously lived in a soft water location, so around the age of 13. Been downhill ever since.

I've had good results with choline for tackling brain fog.

I've tried choline bitartrate, which is ok short term in not high doses maybe a couple of grams per day at best, but now it just causes bone aches.

AlphaGPC, also ok, but the high phosphate content does you bones no good, kept me very wired and if you want to reduce the time to a heart attack take loads of this.

Lecithin, which is a food ingredient, found in chocolate, seeds like sunflower, and egg yolk.

Its a nice form of the supplement, but again cant take too much of it for too long as a supplement.

Currently looking at Choline Chloride. The chlorides (negatively charged chlorine) seem to be quite useful in the body, so I'm probably going to give that a go at some point.

Obviously egg yolks are good for choline, so plenty of eggs.

Avoid stress in all forms at all costs. If its not right and cant be fixed soon, just walk away from it.

Stress is a massive killer.

I dont have a problem keeping myself occupied, avid reader.

I also had some Testogel during mid 30's, used to slappo a couple doses on the shoulder for recreational purposes when going out on friday nights, not a fan of Bolivian marching powder, and I found testogel to be much better for making me feel good, than anything Columbia can export!

It does wonders for your mental health, but come to think of it, it does help a bit with mental acuity, so that might be something to look at. Here in the UK, the NHS is all messed up, so you'll only get it on private prescription.

I'd recommend Testogel to any bloke over Columbian exports, and it doesnt make you angry either, I think the roid rage is lack of manganese and short intense diabetes which is probably waiting to be discovered by the so called medical experts.

You've given me a lot to research, thanks for taking the time to share your experiences!
