- Helps boost the amount of โfreeโ testosterone in your body because it increases the release rate of free testosterone from SHBG. Having more free testosterone is a good thing because that is how your body utilizes testosterone most efficiently.
- Take it in the morning with a meal.
- Taking this supplement (as well as taking it with the other testosterone-boosting supplements along with it) will likely cause a noticeable increase in your overall levels.
- Cycle off every 6-8 weeks for 1-2 weeks for safety and precautionary measures.
Boron - 9 mg

- Also helps boost the amount of free testosterone that is in your body because it frees up SHBG, similar to Tongkat Ali.
- Take in the morning, preferably with a meal!
- No need to cycle off whatsoever. You can, but itโs not as important in relation to being cautious with overall health.
- Taking this supplement along with the other testosterone-boosting supplements will likely cause a noticeable increase in your overall levels.
Vitamin D3 - 5000 IU
๐ Click here to order: https://ekkovision.com/?ref=KASON
- Also helps boost the amount of free testosterone that is in your body because it frees up SHBG, similar to Tongkat Ali.
- Take in the morning, preferably with a meal!
- No need to cycle off whatsoever. You can, but itโs not as important in relation to being cautious with overall health.
- Taking this supplement along with the other testosterone-boosting supplements will likely cause a noticeable increase in your overall levels.
- Taking this supplement during the winter months will likely help with preventing S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder).
- Make sure to take with a fat source since vitamin D3 is fat-soluble.
Fish Oil - 3750 mg Omega 3 Complex
๐ Click here to order: https://ekkovision.com/?ref=KASON
- Fish oil supports heart health by reducing triglycerides, lowering blood pressure, and improving cholesterol levels.
- It helps reduce inflammation in the body, benefiting joint health and easing stiffness or discomfort.
- Fish oil may enhance brain health and cognitive function, supporting memory, focus, and emotional balance.
- Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil promote healthy skin and reducing acne / overall dryness.
- I personally take 3 capsules but taking 1-2 is still beneficial and worth doing if you are wanting to be more cost-effective. I actually take my fish oil at night but since most people take it in the morning and I didn't want to add it to each sleep stack I put it here.
Magnesium L-Threonate - 140 mg
๐ Click here to order: https://ekkovision.com/?ref=KASON
- Magnesium L-Threonate is known for enhancing cognitive function by increasing magnesium levels in the brain, improving memory, learning, and focus.
- It supports better sleep quality by calming the nervous system and reducing stress, helping users fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
- This form of magnesium may reduce anxiety and improve mood by regulating neurotransmitters involved in relaxation and emotional balance.
- I personally take magnesium L-Threonate in the morning, however that does not mean that you have to. I personally take it in the morning because it works as a mellow nootropic, but for many people it will make them tired. It depends on the individual, as most supplements do.
- It's also important to know that magnesium glycinate is also an effective option when it comes to magnesium supplementation. Magnesium L-Threonate is the more expensive option because it is the only form of magnesium that crosses the blood-brain barrier, which causes it to have nootropic-like effects.
- Magnesium glycinate is still the second best option because it has much higher bioavailability compared to magnesium oxide, which is commonly sold.
Black Seed Oil - 1 tsp
๐ Click here to order: https://www.amazon.com/shop/kasongrainger/list/2WQ10PFSUU1UV?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d
- Black seed oil is a natural supplement derived from the seeds of Nigella sativa, known for its wide-ranging health benefits and use in traditional medicine.
- It supports immune health, reduces inflammation, and provides antioxidant protection, helping the body combat stress and oxidative damage.
- Benefits include improved digestion, enhanced skin health, reduced joint discomfort, and support for heart and respiratory health.
- Black seed oil has ancient origins and was highly valued in Egyptian culture, often referred to as the "Pharaoh's Oil." It was also found in King Tutankhamunโs tomb.
- I personally have one teaspoon in the morning and one teaspoon at night right before bed. The reason why I take black seed oil before bed as well is because my nose is usually very congested.
PRE-WORKOUT SUPPLEMENTS
Injectable L-Carnitine - 1.1 mL (550 mg)
๐ Click here to order: https://researchem.is/?ref=uhzzoard
Alternate source: https://aminoasylum.shop/ref/191/
- L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid. It is found in many meats and can be taken orally but the bioavailability is extremely poor when consumed this way. This is where injecting it comes into play.
- With injecting, the bioavailability is 10x better compared to ingesting L-Carnitine orally.
- Using injectable L-Carnitine can help to transport fat into
energy and is also known to reduce fatigue, improve exercise
performance, and also increase androgen receptor density long term.
- I have been injecting 550 mg of L-Carnitine everyday directly after having a carb-dense meal (which is typically my very first meal of the day).
- Be aware that injecting needs to be done with CAUTION and SAFETY. Do not inject yourself if you do not know what you are doing. I recommend watching many videos first to ensure you will do it safely.
Tadalafil - 0.25 mL (5 mg)
๐ Click here to order: https://researchem.is/?ref=uhzzoard
Alternate source: https://aminoasylum.shop/ref/191/
- Tadalafil (also known as Cialis) is a PDE5 inhibitor and it was originally made to help with high blood pressure
- Basically, Tadalafilโs main function is to improve blood flow and it does this by dilating your blood vessels
- Through blood vessel dilation, your blood vessels relax and
it causes more blood to go to your muscles whenever youโre working out
- This is why many bodybuilders and fitness influencers take tadalafil pre-workout
- I recommend cycling off every 8-10 weeks for 1-2 weeks
- Keep in mind that cycling off is not needed, but I do it regardless
- I personally take it 1 hour before working out every day
- On rest days, I donโt take it
(unless...)
- Half life is 36 hours
Semax - 3 Sprays (150 mcg)
๐ Click here to order: https://researchem.is/?ref=uhzzoard
Alternate source: https://aminoasylum.shop/ref/191/
- Semax is a synthetic peptide used to improve focus, memory, and resilience to stress, making it popular for cognitive enhancement.
- It works by boosting brain health, reducing inflammation, and supporting mood through better dopamine and serotonin regulation.
- Benefits include sharper thinking, a more stable mood, less stress, and better protection for long-term brain health.
- It is typically used as a nasal spray and is known for its fast-acting and effective cognitive and mood-enhancing effects.
- Keep in mind that I am very new to using semax but I have been enjoying the effects and I plan to continue using it for an extended period of time.
- As I continue to take it I will update this guide plus the Researchem guide more.
Liquid Glycerol - 35 g
๐ Click here to order: https://ekkovision.com/?ref=KASON
- Glycerol is mainly used for hyper-hydration, and with hyper-hydration also comes intense pumps, enhanced power, and better endurance
- The reason why hyper-hydration is important is because a 2% loss in fluids can result in a 20% decrease in performance
- Glycerol can also be used to prevent peeing in the middle of the night
- Peeing during the night is not good for overall sleep quality, so glycerol can help prevent that
Electrolytes - 1.5 g
๐ Click here to order: https://ekkovision.com/?ref=KASON
- Electrolytes replenish minerals lost through sweat, which then maintains hydration and enhances endurance, overall power, and mental focus.
- They prevent performance dips caused by fluid loss, as even a 1-2% loss in hydration can impact physical and cognitive function.
- They can also prevent exertion headaches since they are typically caused by dehydration.
- Electrolytes like sodium and potassium reduce cramping by supporting muscle and nerve function.
- They reduce nocturnal dehydration and muscle cramps, improving post-exercise recovery and sleep quality.
- I typically use 2-3 scoops of Ekkovision's electrolytes 30-45 minutes before the gym.
Caffeine Caps - 400 mg
๐ Click here to order: https://ekkovision.com/?ref=KASON
- Caffeine enhances focus, alertness, and cognitive function by stimulating the central nervous system.
- It boosts endurance and power output by increasing adrenaline levels and mobilizing fatty acids for energy.
- Reduces perceived effort during exercise, helping sustain performance for longer durations.
- Acts as a mild diuretic but does not significantly dehydrate when consumed in moderate amounts.
- Improves reaction time and reduces fatigue, making it beneficial for both physical and mental tasks.
- Can enhance mood and motivation, but excessive use may lead to jitters, insomnia, or dependency.
L-Theanine - 150 mg
๐ Click here to order: https://www.amazon.com/shop/kasongrainger/list/1EI465HHVBHVD?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfkasongrainger_HR0C67WFCKPMKDYNGW44
- L-theanine is an amino acid that is naturally found in green tea.
- It is a nootropic that can improve memory, increase attention span, and increases verbal fluency.
- It also releases more alpha waves in the brain, which is what happens whenever you meditate for a prolonged period of time.
- I love taking L-theanine at a dosage of 200 mg directly after my workout because it helps โsmooth outโ the caffeine crash.
- It also helps tremendously with sleep quality and can cause very intense dream.
- The reason why I like to take L-Theanine with my other pre-workout supplements is because it helps balance out the caffeine jitters that I would normally get if I took 400 mg of caffeine with no L-Theanine whatsoever.
IMMEDIATELY WITH POST-WORKOUT MEAL
Protein Powder - 1 Scoop
๐ Click here to order: https://ekkovision.com/?ref=KASON
- We all know what protein does...
- Stimulates muscle protein synthesis, boosts recovery, and helps you reach your daily protein goal much easier.
- It's important to know that protein powder isn't required by any means but it is extremely convenient and allows you to reach your daily protein goals on a much more consistent basis.
L-Theanine - 200 mg
๐ Click here to order: https://www.amazon.com/shop/kasongrainger/list/1EI465HHVBHVD?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfkasongrainger_HR0C67WFCKPMKDYNGW44

Creatine Monohydrate - 7.5 g
๐ Click here to order: https://ekkovision.com/?ref=KASON
- I take 7.5 grams of Creatine Monohydrate after every single workout.
- If there is ANY supplement on this list that you should 100% be taking (regardless of your goals), it is creatine.
- It is by far the most widely researched supplement in the
fitness industry and that is why it is one of the most commonly known
and used supplements.
- Creatine is good for your brain and body in many different
ways. It has been proven to increase physical performance and even brain
performance to a certain degree.
- If you weigh a bit more and donโt notice many benefits from creatine, try experimenting with the rule of 0.1 g per kg when it comes to doing creatine. For example, I am 84 kg, so if I were to follow this rule, I would take 8.4 grams daily.
Magnesium L-Threonate - 140 mg
๐ Click here to order: https://ekkovision.com/?ref=KASON

- Magnesium glycinate is still the second best option because it has much higher bioavailability compared to magnesium oxide, which is commonly sold.
SLEEP (Melatonin-Free)
I take this melatonin free sleep stack for 1-2 weeks at a time when I am taking a break from ashwagandha. It is recommended to not take ashwagandha for more than 8 weeks at a time with no break.
Ekko ZZZs Melatonin Free Powder - 1 scoop
๐ Click here to order: https://ekkovision.com/?ref=KASON
- Ekko ZZZs is a potent blend of ingredients that will help you fall asleep quickly and wake up feeling extremely refreshed
- I highly recommend it as it is one of my personal favorite supplements from Ekkovision
- I take 1 full scoop and also add 5 grams of glycine (another sleep aid). This is also a natural sweetener that makes the Ekko ZZZs powder taste tremendously better.
Glycine - 5 g
๐ Click here to order: https://www.amazon.com/shop/kasongrainger/list/1EI465HHVBHVD?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfkasongrainger_HR0C67WFCKPMKDYNGW44
- Glycine is a naturally occurring amino acid.
- It has been proven to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and allows you to wake up feeling more refreshed.
- I take 5 grams with the Ekko ZZZs melatonin free powder, but you can take anywhere from 3 grams to 10 grams.
- Keep in mind it IS a natural sweetener as well. This is why I love combining it with Ekko ZZZs powder (since the powder itself is bitter).
SLEEP (Cost-Effective)
L-theanine - 400 mg
๐ Click here to order: https://www.amazon.com/shop/kasongrainger/list/1EI465HHVBHVD?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfkasongrainger_HR0C67WFCKPMKDYNGW44
- L-theanine is an amino acid that is naturally found in green tea.
- It is a nootropic as well as a sleep aid that can improve memory, increase attention span, and increases verbal fluency.
- It also releases more alpha waves in the brain, which is what happens whenever you meditate for a prolonged period of time.
- I love taking L-theanine at a dosage of 400 mg directly before bed because it helps me fall asleep easier and helps with waking up feeling refreshed.
Apigenin - 150 mg
๐ Click here to order: https://www.amazon.com/shop/kasongrainger/list/1EI465HHVBHVD?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfkasongrainger_HR0C67WFCKPMKDYNGW44
- I started taking Apigenin because of Andrew Huberman.
- Apigenin is good for sleep quality because it induces muscle relaxation and sedation and leads to overall higher quality sleep.
- I take 3 capsules at 50 mg every day.
Glycine - 5 g
๐ Click here to order: https://www.amazon.com/shop/kasongrainger/list/1EI465HHVBHVD?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfkasongrainger_HR0C67WFCKPMKDYNGW44

- Keep in mind it IS a natural sweetener as well. This is why
I love combining it with Ekko ZZZs powder (since the powder itself is
bitter). If you are not taking it with Ekko ZZZs it is fine to mix it in with 6-8oz of water.
SLEEP (My Personal Stack)
Ekko ZZZs (Melatonin Caps) - 6 Capsules
๐ Click here to order: https://ekkovision.com/?ref=KASON
- Ekko ZZZs (melatonin caps) is a potent blend of ingredients that will help you fall asleep quickly and wake up feeling extremely refreshed
- I highly recommend it as it is one of my personal favorite supplements from Ekkovision
and I like how it already has ashwagandha.
- I take 6 capsules of the Ekko ZZZs usually 30 minutes before bed. However, if I'm trying to fall asleep earlier, I will space the dosing out and take 2 capsules at a time starting 3 hours before bed.
DSIP (Delta-Sleep-Inducing-Peptide) - 3 Sprays (150 mcg)
๐ Click here to order: https://researchem.is/?ref=uhzzoard
- DSIP supports deep, restful sleep by working with chemicals like serotonin and melatonin, improving overall sleep quality and helping with sleep disorders like insomnia.
- It reduces stress hormones, such as corticotropin, and promotes relaxation, making it easier to handle stressful situations.
- DSIP may provide pain relief by triggering the release of endorphins, which are natural pain relievers that also boost mood.
- Some users report improved mood and emotional balance due to its effects on mood-regulating chemicals.
- Common side effects like drowsiness, grogginess, or headaches can often be avoided by using the correct dose (100-300 mcg) and staying hydrated.
- DSIP is typically taken before bed, and a cycle of 4-6 weeks with breaks is recommended for sustained effectiveness.
- I personally have only used it a couple of times at a dosage of 150 mcg. As I continue to take it I will add more of my personal experiences
