RP&D Overview

This is a structured daily system organized by:

  • Brain signal quality
  • Electrolyte timing
  • Tissue repair
  • Lipid & liver protection
  • Methylation stability
  • NAD⁺ / mitochondrial support
  • Gut and connective tissue integrity

This is not medical advice.
This is a timing and structure map.


SECTION 1 — DAILY TIMING STRUCTURE


🌅 Step 0 — Immediately Upon Waking

1 plain glass of water (12–16 oz)
→ Rehydrates after sleep
→ Sets baseline plasma volume

Optional if training early:
500–1,000 mg elemental sodium


🌅 Step 1 — Morning (Fasted Lane)

Take before food.

NAD⁺ Support

NMN (250–500 mg)
→ NAD⁺ precursor
→ Best fasted

PQQ Disodium (10–20 mg)
→ Mitochondrial signaling
→ Fasted or water only


Dopaminergic / Cholinergic Lane

L-Tyrosine (500–1,500 mg)
→ Dopamine support
→ Best fasted or low-protein

Alpha-GPC (300–600 mg)
→ Acetylcholine precision

Huperzine A (50–100 mcg)
→ Preserves acetylcholine


Morning Electrolytes

Sodium (1–2 g elemental across AM + pre-workout)
Potassium (300–600 mg)


🍳 Step 2 — First Meal (With Fats)

Take with dietary fats.

Fish Oil (2–4 g EPA/DHA)
→ Lipid & inflammation support

CoQ10 (100–200 mg)
→ Cardiac + mitochondrial support

Vitamin D3 + K2
→ Hormonal & bone support

Pterostilbene (50–150 mg)
→ SIRT pathway support
→ Requires fats

Curcumin (500–1,000 mg bioavailable)
→ Inflammation control

Citrus Bergamot (500 mg)
→ Lipid support

Selenium (100–200 mcg)
→ Redox buffering


Methylation Support (With First Meal)

Methylated B12
Methylfolate
TMG (500–1,000 mg)


Cholinergic Sustainability

CDP-Choline (250–500 mg)
→ Slower cholinergic support
→ Best with meal (not required pre-workout)


🏋️ Step 3 — Pre-Workout (45–60 Minutes Before Training)

L-Citrulline Malate (6–8 g)
→ Blood flow

Beta-Alanine (3.2–6.4 g split daily)

Remaining Sodium (to reach daily 4–7 g total)

Optional:
Taurine (1–2 g)
→ Cellular hydration + cardiac rhythm support


Connective Tissue Support

Collagen (10–20 g)
Vitamin C (500 mg)
→ Best 30–60 min before training


💪 Post-Training or Midday

L-Glutamine (5–10 g)
→ Gut lining support
→ Immune recovery
→ Nitrogen balance

Best taken:

  • Post-workout
    or
  • Between meals

Can be taken with carbs.


🌙 Step 4 — Night (Recovery Gate)

Magnesium Glycinate (300–400 mg)
→ Nervous system downshift

Glycine (3–5 g)
→ Sleep + connective tissue support

L-Theanine (100–200 mg)
→ Calm sympathetic tone

Taurine (1–2 g if not taken earlier)
→ Cardiac stability + recovery

Optional:
L-Glutamine (additional 5 g if gut support needed)

Optional:
Ashwagandha (if tolerated)


ELECTROLYTE DAILY TARGETS

Training Day Sodium: 4–7 g elemental
Supplemental Potassium: 1–2 g total
Magnesium: 300–400 mg nightly

Potassium should never exceed sodium.


CARB / FAT / FASTED GUIDE

| Compound | Fasted | With Carbs | With Fats | |----------|--------|------------|-----------| | NMN | Yes | Not required | No | | PQQ | Yes | No | No | | Pterostilbene | No | No | Yes | | CoQ10 | No | No | Yes | | Fish Oil | No | No | Yes | | Alpha-GPC | Yes preferred | Light carbs ok | No | | Tyrosine | Yes preferred | Avoid high protein | No | | Creatine | Flexible | Yes helpful | No | | Glutamine | Flexible | Yes ok | No |


Protocol V Thesis

Signal → Volume → Recovery → Protection → Mitochondria → Gut Integrity

If it increases sensation but decreases performance, it does not belong.
