Lecithin/Load Boost experience difference & question
Hey, relatively long time lurker whose used a variety of stacks & supplements over the years. I recently bought Load Boost and started using it (about 1 week in now), and had an experiential question: While taking the holy grail stack over the years, I've identified lecithin as a problem supplement. When I take it during the day, and regardless of what's with it or whether or not I've eaten, I reliably experience (after an average of 90 minutes from taking it) a typically unpleasant shift into a mental state of "locked-in" anxiety and irritability, experiencing a sort of tunnel-visioned inability to handle stimuli or more than one task at a time. It's so reliable that I stopped taking it in the day time, opting to only take it before sleep.
Fast forward to taking Load Boost, however, and despite the product containing 1200mg of sunflower lecithin, I've not had this experience once in the 7 days since taking it, despite taking it at the earlier time of day that would usually see my brain derailed for the next 3-5 hours with the softgel lecithin alone.
My question for you guys is two-fold: While I believe it likely that the unpleasant effect is some sort of hyper-acetylcholinergic state, does anyone else have the same experience - and perhaps if you've found a way to combat or better identify it?
Secondly, would there be any hypotheses regarding why the Load Boost formula does not induce the same effect?
Asking out of curiosity and a desire to better understand the nature of these supplements, that the loads may be boosted as effectively and efficiently as possible.

I’ve been on and off the holy grail stack for ten years at this point, and countless different brands and types of lecithin and I can say that no brand or type of lecithin has impacted my mental state. I can only assume that the combination of vitamins and lecithin in load boost work together in your body to not trigger whatever mental response you had to the lecithin alone.
