Nootropics... Anyone experimented with them, what do you recommend?

[KingSSaid]

Hello, Im currently using DMAE and choline, i have some piracetam, but have only tried it 3 times, and didnt really feel anything. Anyone have any recommendations for experimenting? As long as its legal for athletes to take ill be interested.

Piracetam has to build up in your system, gotta take it every day, not just every once in a while.

[neddo]

Pir is a waste in my personal experience, but it's only per my use.

Aniracetam & sulbutiamine is my go to stack.


Oxi is next on my to try.

Anyone try Noopept ?

[kevin1st]

Aniracetam & sulbutiamine is my go to stack.

i forget who recommended sulbutiamine but that stuff is good. take it once or twice a week after i work overnight and it really helps to wipe away fatigue and help me to blast through work. i stack it with caff-free focus xt.

Daily for 2-3 months may give you some benefit

Give it a search. There's a big thread on it.

One of my favourite stimulants. How are you dosing it now?

Show any signs of tolerance yet?

only taking it once, maybe twice a week. 400mg.
took 600mg. and got mildly euphoric and slightly anxious so i stick with 400mg. for now stacked with a scoop of caff-free focus xt. no tolerance yet - probably because i take it so infrequently?

Ah, thats good. I missed the part where you only take it that often in the first post.

Definitely keep to that. I did 5 or 6 days in a row, and not only did a tolerance build up quickly, but the withdrawal was painful. DOn't think I've ever had a headache like that before.

How is aniracetam? dose it inhibit the ability to get to sleep? I heard there are some stronger versions or piracetam out there.

[neddo]

Hold on, I think I Diesel0022 has posted his thoughts on the various racetams elsewhere -- I'll try to find it.

Ani >>>>>>>>>> Pir

Hasn't affected my sleeping.

Piracetam - ****
Imuracetam - Nil effect
Aniracetam - Favorite Daily Racetam when price/efficacy comes into play
Oxiracetam - Nothing Special
Nebracetam - Very strong "feel good" effect
Pramiracetam - Not bad, wouldnt pay for it
Rolipram - Awesome memory and a sense of being "awake", though quite pricey
Coluracetam - Trying to find a source

And Phenylpiracetam, only racetam that had strong stimulatory properties along with cognitive enhancement, though, as stated above, I am very disappointed that the effects diminished like so.

Focus XT is a great product. One of my favorite pre-workouts actually.

[UncleWade]

ACLAR is outstanding.

I use ~2g of ALCAR from SNS ALCAR-500 daily and have noticed significant benefits regarding memory formation and retention, and generally improved cognitive performance as well as acute focus effects at larger doses. It's an outstanding nootropic that also provides a myriad of other general health benefits. It's hands-down my favorite ingredient for a dietary supplement.

[kfairhurst]

Focus XT + Piracetam is unreal. I use it to help prepare for finals & mid terms. Cheap and effective, can't go wrong.

[tmd17]

This, figured I'd see you in here haha.

Here's my impressions of what i've tried:

Piracetam: Did not use for long period of time, used twice stacked with focus XT and ALCAR and memory/focus was unbeatable
Noopept: Increased mental endurance, heightened sense of awareness, really no noticeable effects for studying
Aniracetam: Slight anti-anxiety effect, elevated mood, helpful writing papers
Oxiracetam: Very good for memorizing and studying, lots of focus, effects last for about 6 hours

Oxi + 200mg caffeine + 25mg DMAA is a great stack.

Just bought a bunch of pramiracetam the other day, so we'll see how that goes.

Why do some people simultaneously use Piracetam and Aniracetam?

[ChrisG12]

Different MOAs, different benefits.

Aniracetam is also fat-soluble.

Thanks alot for all the infromation, reped everyone,

Quick question, which i think i know the answer too, but i want to dubble dubble check.

Are all these legal for an athlete to take?

Ive searched the WADA and the OADA (world and olympic anti doping assiations) and none of them are mentioned at all on the banned list. Along with that, if im correct, there just derived from amino acids, so there not going to be banned because we consume them in out foods in small amounts all the time.

Thanks alot.

[tmd17]

Yes they are legal.

[ISurfNudeBrah]

ALCAR is easily one of my favorites, and has many benefits besides the great focus it provides.
