This is based on the popular People Chow recipe, but is more suited for people with a milligram scale lying around. (Not so much choline, yuck!)
The original does not include any Omega-3 DHA, which is seperate from Omega-3 ALA found in plant foods. The body is able to convert ALA to DHA at a ratio of 0-3%, but studies show that it is best supplemented where possible. Note: The Omega-3 DHA here is from Costco, and includes shipping in the price. If you go to Costco itself, the 400 pill bottle is only $9.
Piracetam shows notable decreases in cognitive decline, and is pretty stable as an (albeit expensive) neuroprotective. Information on whether it increases cognition outside of the elderly is limited. Piracetam is quite expensive, and quite cost-prohibitive. I would only reccomend this supplement if you're experimental. It's impressively non-toxic but your mileage may vary as to its impact on your cognition.
Ginkgo Biloba is a very popular supplement which has notable evidence to support it decreasing cognitive decline, and giving a (minor) increase in short-term memory. Due to its popularity, it is also fairly inexpensive.
Bacopa Monnieri is an herb which has a reliable and significant effect on long-term memory, with the drawback that effects can take 4-6 weeks of regular usage to take effect.
Rhodiola Rosea has a measurable increase in alertness and counteracts fatigue, without being stimulating. It also has a slight increase in subjective well-being. The daily intake is listed here as '0', as I only take it myself on days when I haven't slept very well.
If you are intending to take these long-term, I would reccomend finding a bulk powder provider, and a capsule machine, it's easy and reduces costs massively. I would NOT recommend mixing these powders into your soylent. They're quite nasty.
