Can Alpha GPC be effective without galantamine?

Hey guys,

I have been researching supplements that enhance the ability to attain lucidity. I have tried many and to be honest I haven't seen much of an improvement, but I still have yet to try Alpha GPC. I am able to attain lucidity without supplements, so I'm not trying to cheat, but occasionally I like to take a supplement in order to have some cool dreams. I don't abuse the use of supplements and I probably only take them once a week or so. But down to the question, does Alpha GPC work to enhance your consciousness without Galantamine (i.e. by itself). I have read that choline will not work without Galantamine and i was wondering if the same is true for Alpha GPC.

Thanks to anyone who replies

Choline and AlphaGPC are very similar. I've never had much luck with either by themselves, but I don't think Galantamine is needed for it to help. A good B-Complex and DMAE work well with AlphaGPC, IMO. Also, if you're specifically looking for an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, Huperzine A is an alternative to Galantamine. Personally, I won't mess with Galantamine due to the side effects. For me, DMAE and B-complex is enough for recall improvement and I still haven't decided on whether or not choline/AlphaGPC tends to help or hurt my recall.

EDIT: As a last effort to see if I can get choline to work for me, I'm thinking of adding Citicoline (CDP Choline) with Huperzine A to my standard night dose of DMAE and B-complex.
