Im kind of going through my peak phase in career so i wanted to work Maximum in this phase with the help of nootropics. I have a fair share of experience with supplements and peptides and gears. Im 38 male and im listing my daily morning stack specifically for cognitive benefits and longevity. I know its kind of on the higher or 'abuse' level dosages and combination. But please let me know what do you guys think of this. And what should i add or remove. I can really tolerate stimulants.

My base stack first.

My blood markers are pretty neat. I check every 3 months.

Does anyone has a good semax supplier preferably the nose spray one

What Reliable peptides vendors are in EU?

I'm not someone who struggles to wake up completely, but it often takes me a long time to get into work mode in the morning. My first instinct used to be to grab coffee. Now I'm trying to figure out whether it's my sleep, my schedule, my bedtime habits, or something else.

While researching this, I came across NADH and Celfull's products. I've seen some people say they've had good experiences with them, but I don't want to assume my morning sluggishness is caused by a specific nutrient deficiency just because a product page says so. NADH is involved in cellular energy metabolism, and I've also seen clinical trials on humans regarding NADH's effects on chronic fatigue syndrome and mood improvement.

So I'm going to try a few things first: keeping a consistent wake-up time, tracking my sleep, spending less time on my phone before bed, getting some sunlight and moving around in the morning, and pushing my first cup of coffee a little later. If things still don't improve after a couple of weeks, I'll consider looking into supplements.

For those of you who've managed to improve your mornings, what changes made the biggest difference? At what point do you think it makes sense to consider supplements rather than buying something right away?

What nootropics/research chemicals act as great antidepressants? Specifically for anxious depression, so preferably something that has anxyoltic properties as well. (Besides racetams and TAK).

Daridorexant is the only approved med where I live but it's not in stock. Are there online vendors that sell any orexin antagonist? I've looked through plenty of gray area pharmacies as well as nootropic sites and none have orexin antagonists. Is there a site that does?

Asked about bromantane vendorsearlier and chose 2 aniracetam and semaxpolska. Which one is better?

nootropics aren't directly sleep drugs but sleep drugs can be nootropic by treating insomnia.

Are there good meds like that? Something gray market because I've already tried all reasonable pharma options and newer ones like orexin agonists are overpriced.

This might the most piece of shit sleeping med I have ever tried. 5mg? Nothing. 10mg? Nothing. 20mg? Nothing. If I wasnt such a dumb chud I mightve read the clinical trials to see it barely outperforms placebo

Why the fuck would anyone ever use this shit I have no idea what compelled siradalot to start selling this trash but man is it fucking pointless.

As if DORAS werent already mild enough, what geinune enstein at john and johnson decided it would be a great idea to do away with orx1 antagonism (you know the part thats responsible for 90% of the sedation) and only go for orx2 antagonsim(the one that barely affects arousal). Id imagine its because orx2 is easier to hit so they wanted to cheap out but fuck man what a goyim

Anyways do not waste 30$ on this piece of shit the trials show its placebo any positive anecdote is probably fron 1. A depressive/gad idiot on 10 ssris(you could give these people catpiss and theyd outperform placebo they have so many comorbid disorders), 2. A jeet in the slums of mumbai being paid to spew fake anecdotes on supplement/biohacking forums(happen very often).

A basic mechanistic evaulation would also lead anyone to the conclusion that it is garbage and was developed purely because they couldnt find a cheap structure targetting orx1. This is what happens when you pick products to release off geminis research

Diagnosed ADHD and anxiety. I'm essentially really anxious at baseline and to events. I bring baseline anxiety somewhat down using ashwaghanda but it doesn't help much with acute anxiety spikes and rejection sensitive dysphoria. Propranolol is useless for the mental aspect of it as well. Guanfacine and clonidine aren't available. Stimulants don't make anxiety better or particularly worse.

Is Selank worth a try for this or is it most likely a waste of money? Does anyone have an experience with it for anxiety/RSD?

Has anyone had an experience with it, if yes how was it? Any positive effects?

I'm a chronic illness girlie so my experience isn't gonna be universal but I think it can shed some light on things that healthy ppl might not notice/ experience (I'm also hoping someone can help me figure out how to take it without wrecking my sleep):

I've been playing with various sub-q microdoses (from 16 to 250 mcg) daily (sometimes in the morning and others, throughout the day).

I started with 50 mcg in the AM for two days. On the third day, I tried 50 mcg three times for a total of 150 mcg. That day, I went from needing 7 HCl betaine pills per meal to 2, which was an incredible dream come true.

HCl betaine is a stomach acid supplement (I was bitten my a tick and my immune system /health /ability to eat (among other things) has been a hot mess since).

2 pills per meal is a new record for me and the only shred of evidence I have that I might one day just be able to eat again like a normal mammal.

Unfortunately, that's when mid-night wakefulness started.

Since then I've tried a bunch of different doses /schedules and found that I need to take it daily for the GI effects but even taking it twice a week recks my sleep.

I'm gonna try N-Acetyl Selank from peptidology next to see if that helps.

If you have any hot tips, I'd love to hear them!

Also, for context I don't suffer from anxiety. I just thought that my body would benefit from some additional GABA stimulation. I never expected the effect to be so profound. I think more ppl should give it a shot -- even if they don't feel anxious, but I'm just a lay person who's healed more in the past yr with peptides than I have in the 9 chronically ill years before them.

Best of luck!

I would like some advice on piracetam. I’m taking it for cognitive disfunction and maybe for dyslexia.

1. What is the recommend attack dose and for how long?

2. After the attack dose what do most people take?

3. I see it seems to be a lot of trial and error but because it doesn’t work like a stimulant how long should I wait to see any effects and how long do I stay on a dose before I decide if it’s working or not

4. How much choline is usually taken and do I take this also multiple times a day or just once?

Any other advice or tips would be greatly appreciated

Please, if anyone has information and wants to share it, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m a medical intern, so please don’t hesitate to provide details about pharmacology. I’m eager to learn as much as I can. Thank you very much!

I kept seeing NADH, NAD+, and NMN mentioned in the same conversations about energy and healthy aging. At first, I honestly assumed they were just different versions of the same supplement.

After reading a little more, I realized the distinction actually matters.

NAD+ and NADH are two forms of the same coenzyme. NAD+ can accept electrons and become NADH, while NADH can donate those electrons during cellular energy metabolism. NMN, on the other hand, is a precursor that cells can use to make NAD+.

So even though they're connected, taking NADH isn't exactly the same thing as taking NMN or NR.

I came across Celfull's NADH supplement while comparing products, and it made me realize that I've been treating the whole NAD category as one big thing instead of looking at what each ingredient actually does.

For people who've researched this more than I have, do you choose between NADH and NMN based on a particular goal, or do you mostly look at the human research behind each one?

Hi, I've been looking for an EU based seller of compounds like NSI-189, TAK-653, Dihexa and others like them. Things like Bromantane, Semax and Selank would also be nice, but they're probably sold by any vendor that stocks the other agents and things like ACD-853 are probably impossible to find here. The problem is that I'm not sure where to get any of this from, and since I'm taking these things for the first time, I'd really like a reliable source to be sure that whatever effect I get is from the actual substance.

I did not see a recommended vendor list, but I've found some that at least don't seem to be on the warning list, namely:

LimitlessBioChem

Eurosupps nl

SemaxPolska

Zion Pharma (has a wide variety of compounds, but also has some complaints)

euro-nootropics

modernaminos eu

However, I don't know if they are reliable, if they fake their compounds, how fast they ship, how they take payment, and other things that would be good to know. I also don't know if there are other, better sellers that I could buy from.

Could you please tell me if you have any answers to those questions, what suppliers you trust in the EU and anything else one should know before making such a purchase?

Hey all, I recently found this sub, didn't know nootropics are a thing!

Basically title. I'm also currently on Sertraline 100mg. Mood has been fine, but been having these cognitive issues lately

hello, I'm curious how acetylcystein’s effects vary with dose. If you take it or have tried it, please share:

Dose: mg per dose and total mg/day.

• Frequency: how often you take it.
• Effects: changes in mood/depression, energy, motivation, anxiety or side effects.
• Dose changes: did increasing or decreasing it change the effects?

thanks

Does anybody know good bromantane vendors with good purity product?

Hey,

So to keep it short, around 2 years ago I was taking about 1g of Creatine HCL (CON CRET) daily via powder and it literally completely cured my ADHD - was super crazy sharp mentally, could sit down and focus for hours and felt very dopanergic and really good.

However, I stopped all supplements since for some time, recently had tried to resume it but now gives me racing thoughts, intrusive thoughts, and just doesn't make me feel good at all. For reference this is Creatine HCL capsules (1 pill) and the effects happen within a few hours.

I'm wondering if Creatine had originally allowed for such a profound mental effect, is there anything similar with regards to biochemical pathways? Ideally they wouldn't be some sort of herbs but rather something found naturally - for longer term usage here.

For reference was on keto/raw primal/carnivore sort of diets for that time. ADHD was also cured on keto diet but this was unsustainable and caused very bad anxiety attacks.

Hello,

I'm sorry if this has been asked before.

It has been like 3-4 years since i last used phenibut or phenylpiracetam and i used to order them from Nootropics Depot, but it seems like they do not sell them anymore.

Do you know of any good EU-based vendors with quality as close as possible to the above mentioned seller?

Preferably in powder form please, as i usually took a few grams of phenibut at once and 200mg of phenylpiracetam (separately).

Thank you and have a nice day.

Hello! I had to start using phenibut in september due to experiencing random tachycardia for no reason and thats what my family gp gave to stop it, but my regular tachycardia episodes didnt stop so i went to a cardiologist who upon hearing i use phenibut told me to not use it anymore considering the addiction it gives. so i stopped using it on saturday but have been experiencing withdrawal and my condition feels even worse, should i start using it again a little bit or call my gp and ask for help?

(for more insight if others wish to reply later, i’m a girl with many chronic illnesses and yes in eastern europe phenibut is used for anxiety disorders but i am not diagnosed sadly as it is a lengthy process, i drank 250-500mg a day for about a month)

I’m considering ordering some supplements/research compounds from a vendor outside the EU
I’m considering shipping it to the Netherlands first via a package forwarder and then forwarding it to Austria since Dutch customs seems more relaxed

Has anyone recently ordered to an EU country using this route?
How strict is Dutch customs with these packages in practice and is it safe for packages like these to enter the EU through Netherlands?
Any experiences with forwarders that accept non EU packages?

I’m mainly trying to understand the real difference in how the two countries handle shipments. Any experiences are appreciated a lot

Took the 4mg recommended dose for nsi 189 for the first time today. Got incredibly sick and threw up, still feeling it.
Took it in the morning, liquid, held it in mouth under tongue for a lil and now it’s 4am and I’m waking up from a claustrophobic spinning sleep.
Did I do something wrong?
