Are there any supplements with decent clinical evidence for promoting dendrite growth?
Thanks

I ordered some Hydergine from IAS. It's expensive, but not prohibitively so. I'll let you guys know how it goes, if anyone is interested.
I've tried Ashwaganda, but didn't get any noticable effects from it. Is it more of a long-term solution?
I've also tried ALCAR. Country Life brand, I believe. Again I didn't seem to get much from it. How long have you been taking it, and how long did it take for you to experience any effects?
Thanks for the responses

The odd thing is that I ordered some ALCAR several years ago, took some, didn't immediately notice anything, then forgot about it. I kept the bottle though and a year or so later tried it again and began to notice powerful results. I'm like that with many supps. What will happen is I will buy something, try it, and the first time won't experience much. But then later, try it again and see something happen.
Sometimes the subtle can be the most profound.

For those of us in the dark, what is a dendrite and what is it's impact on mental performance, retention, and comfort (e.g. clarity, emotional well-being)?

Usually what you want to know is if it translate to real word results, I'm becoming less interested in the mecanism of action on my side but what happen is most powerful antioxidant will help develop brain structures for one and then there are things like Lion's mane mushroom which boost NGF considerably which should help dendrit growth but again very few studies if nothing at all. Idebenone help in NGF if I remember but then I don't know if there are studies which confirm dendrit enhancement. Pyritinol is a powerful antioxidant, could help there.

This would be good on natualistic standpoint, but couldn't you just buy Nerve Growth Factor or cobra venom extract.

No NGF doesn't goes through the blood brain barier and Lion's main is very efficient at boosting it in the brain.

There are other products on iherb as well, but:
http://www.iherb.com...plets/4963?at=0 - I've been trying this one on/off. At 3 pills there is a definite effect every time, and while I may have felt more focused in some way...I also felt a bit dopey.
I don't know what to make of this yet. I need to correct some other more serious health problems before I become a good test subject.
Note that it does have some piperine in there (cytochrome p450 inhibitor) so I take it with curcumin and other supplements which may be better absorbed with piperine. Why waste it eh?
