Default Re: poker vitamins?

Interestingly, everyone else seems to be citing a lot of stimulants like caffeine, whereas I prefer things that keep me relaxed and calm. I actually stay away from caffeine while I am playing, and try not to play if I am a bit jumpy for whatever reason.

I have tried Valerian, Kava Kava (though you can't get it anymore), and other herbal relaxants but don't really use anything regularly. It's probably half placebo effect anyways, but I found good results in particularly stressful times (running baaaaaaad). I've also tried some aromatherapy stuff like lavender (I think) and though I can't attest to feeling calmed, it did make my apartment smell nice.

Regards
Brad S
