Fascinating ! That’s why I failed…not enough grams…
How long does the citrulline last for after ingestion ? I imagine it’s some good few hours…but your experience will be a lot better than my guess.
Thanks for that ! Encouraging…

For your cognitive health supplements, have you been able to find any formulations containing several of them together? It would be nice to have them all in one pill.

I eat lots of dark chocolate and take cacao powder, consume shiitake mushrooms daily for the spermidine and ergothionine, eat sardines daily for the omega 3, etc so I don’t supplement with those things.

No, but at your age you probably don’t need much.
My current daily stack for an old man:
Lithium
Bacopa
Modafinil
Galantamine

Glad it helped! 
Citrulline peaks in plasma about 1 hour after ingestion and maintains elevated arginine and NO levels for roughly 4–6 hours (Schwedhelm 2008; Bailey 2015).
Interestingly, there’s also a loading effect – with daily intake (3–6 g for ~1 week) baseline plasma arginine gradually rises, so NO remains higher even between doses. That’s why consistent use feels smoother and more potent over time, not just a transient “pump” spike.
So:
Acute: 1 h → peak, 4–6 h → active window
Chronic: 3–6 g/day → raised baseline NO after several days

Correct I might not need some of it but I don’t think it’ll hurt either and I have no problem spending money when it comes to my health.

Now that’s a stack! Looks like some changes since last time
Did you really drop these - thyroid, nebivolol, telmisartan, trazodone?
Guess you prefer sildenafil over tadalafil. 20mg tadalafil a day would be fun though.

Yes thanks for pointing all that out.
So my Free and Total T3 levels aren’t as good as I’d like them to be but whenever I take thyroid medication at any dose, I just get even more tired for some mysterious reason so I kind of gave up on it for the time being.
Telmisartan and Nebivolol I stopped because blood pressure is already on the low side
Trazodone stopped working and I notice I feel happier when I don’t take it for some odd reason.
I switched to Sildenafil because I get less side effects but still take tadafil when “necessary”

Right on.
Not sure if you have tried Pentosan Polysulfate (Elmiron), but it’s something to look into as you mentioned a few products you use for joints.

Ryker reckons the effective dose of Astaxanthin is 4mg so I switched down from 12mg.
Notice any negatives from nandrolone?
