[QUOTE="Keyser Söze, post: 68311, member: 3042"] All of the "natural" supplements are complete bs. They should be regulated, which would result in most being banned and their employees prosecuted for fraud. They can give you a powerful placebo effect though. As for what actually works and is sustainable - look to medical students and residents. These are intelligent people who study the human body for a living, have to perform at a very high level for long hours and maintain focus, so if there is anything, they would know and use it. I know several of these people. The majority don't take anything beyond coffee, and focus on maintaining focus and energy levels through diet, exercise, and sleep. Some will take adderall or vyvanse for short periods of time during major exams, but again, taking these in higher doses for longer periods can cause serious problems. Others will take Provigil(modafinil), which can help you stay up and/or adjust your sleep cycle during shifting work hours, but it doesn't work well for some people. [/QUOTE]
