This is good. If anyone wants to do a follow-up I’d like to see a higher dosage used, and I’d like to see the effect of weekly supplementation, eg each week you fill your pill-box either with vit-d or l-theanine and rate the week as a whole (with some blinding process). Finally interested in populations with high caffeine use.

If I had billg money, I’d divert some of it into just running high quality tests of all these “maybe” supplements.

Could we crowdfund to pay for this? My friend keeps wanting me to get into supplements (or into multi-level marketing selling supplements...) and I would definitely chip in a few dollars a month to prove whether the advertised claims were true.
