Hello,
For awhile I've been interested in Nootropic Supplements, and have experimented with the following:
Piracetam
Noopept
L-Theanine + Caffeine
Fish Oil+ Choline Bitartrate
Ashwagandha+ Bacopa Monnieri.
Although most people are penetrated by the Placebo Effect, I tend to be the occasional buzz-kill because I quite frequently do not rave about something unless it benefits me. For example, if I had to compare Noopept, Piracetam, L-Theanine, Caffeine, Ashwagandha, or Bacopa to Marijuana- I would say each and every one of these supplements no matter the extension of time, or how you combine them do not even come close to the effectiveness of Marijuana. Not only do they leave you feeling stupid, and with more brain fog than you had going into this, but you just burnt a hole in your pocket costing you over hundreds of dollars. Money well spent? I don't think so.
At first, I thought my benefits in cognition came from the Noopept, after all the Noopept did in-fact turn me into Superman with high sensitive hearing. As I was trying to sleep, I was craving the Kryptonite that could somehow extinguish that annoying chirping sound coming from outside, which sounded like it was coming from my bedside.
The only thing I got from Noopept was better hearing, and a feeling that I should be hallucinating due to the fact that the color "green" was extremely sharpened. I did not take Noopept to get high, or feel close to being high, and Noopept does not offer you any cognitive benefits. Trust me, 2+ months, and nothing.
Piracetam, did nothing at all, and tasted awful.
L-Theanine made me sleepy.
Ashwagandha made me very hostile (testosterone)
Bacopa, did nothing at all.
The only thing that worked for me
was the Fish Oil.
This is where I arrive to the point....
Fish Oil Contains the Omega 3 Fatty Acid DHA which helps the development and growth of the brain. Supplementing with just Fish Oil allowed me to clearly see that my enhanced pattern recognition is due to it, and not the Noopept.
Tried Noopept by itself, nothing.
Although the benefits of Fish Oil are not profound in the sense that it didn't turn me into a Super Genius overnight, I see marked improvement each day continuing supplementation, Yahoo!
I was born with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, and I believe that I have the memory of a demented elder, forgetting words, items I displace, long strings of information, and even short strings of information I read.
I scored 'Genius' in Raven's Progressive Matrices Test, but on another IQ test administered online I scored just about 117, which is nowhere near the score I received on Raven's test.
I am able to recognize patterns with great precision, and its so simple I truly do not understand how it has anything to do with ones intelligence..... I believe my ability to do this has to do with the fact that i'm autistic, and naturally gifted in that area..... The score of 117 is far lower than Genius, and I believe the results were due to the fact that I really failed with the English section.....
Any-who, I have a horrible memory, always had.
So I'm looking for something to enhance general cognition, and memory... I really struggle intellectually, and there are a lot of things that validate that.....
--------------------------------------------
My new Nootropic Stack will be my final
stack....
Because I already have no difficulty solving most Puzzling IQ Matrices, I won't be using that test to present to the general public the effects of this new Nootropic Stack.
The following study will
go as follows:
There will be 4 reports on the effects of this stack. E= End of. (E)wk1, (E)w2, (E)wk4 (E)wk6.....
several test will be administered in each report:
Memory,
Online IQ test,
Speed and Reaction Time,
Mathematical Calculation Assessments.
My Current Scores:
Memory: 5
Online IQ: 117
Speed and reaction time: 367ms
Mathematical Calculation Assessments: Average
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
None of these results will be fabricated, and I will withdraw the promotion of this stack if the results are unapparent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
With much research I have comprised the following Nootropic Stack combination:
Uridine
Citicoline
Fish Oil/w Omega 3 Fatty Acid DHA
Phosphatidylserine
Vitamin B Complex (Containing 50 B vitamins including Folic Acid, B6, and B12)
Alpha Lipoic Acid,
and Melatonin.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I discourage anyone to take this Nootropic stack
until I write my final review... The stack is similar to the Mr Happy's Stack, but modifications were made to enhance the effects of this stack, and there is a lot of stuff I added to it...
It has many of the most researched supplements that I feel almost confident in the results, but only time will tell... If no results appear, I want this to be educationally advising to those who have considered taking any of these supplements....
Its possible that i'll post some of the reviews on YouTube and if so I'll link those to you.... I hope this works out!!!!
To conclude this, I would also advise you not to be the idiot who I have to say told you so before taking any of the Nootropics I listed that were ineffective... Just as I am going to test the stack that I created, I also tested all the other Nootropics that I listed prior to mentioning, and most of them actually caused my score to decrease dramatically to the point I almost cried. Thankfully, they went back to normal...
Thanks,
See you soon!
