Noopept not working on me... safe to snort?
Intropersona 08 Apr 2018
First time i took it one year ago and it worked really well. Now i try it again a year later and...
15mg = nothing
22mg = nothing
30mg = nothing
45mg = nothing
60mg = nothing
80mg = nothing
I took it with B-vitamins, magnesium, choline and protein, I am on no other medications.
I have absorption issues with food generally. What can I do here? Can I intranasal the pills that they cut it with? Is the filler bad for you? Could I make the tincture from a pill?

Snorting it is a bad idea. If you have absorption issues , as I do, you should take the supplement on as empty stomach as you can. Try it first thing in the morning with nothing else, and wait 30 minutes before having breakfast.
Also, you could simply be a non-responder. Noopept doesn't do much for me.

Noopept delivery in a nasal spray has worked extremely well for me. I've created my own nasal spray with purified water and noopept powder. You don't need much either, only about 10% of oral administration and you feel the effects much more acutely so it's easier to control the dosage and duration.

About a year and a half ago I bought 15g of noopept from pure nootropic (a very reputable vendor), I live in the UK where the legality of noopept is kind of a grey area, it's illegal to supply it to others but not illegal to import in small amounts as long as its for personal use. Anyway back on track. The first time I ever took noopept I felt nothing (I've never used in scale, only a scoop and that's still how I dose today). The second time I got the full works, crystal clear mind, HD vision, enhanced audio, slight euphoria. Since then I've tried noopept in all the recommended dosages with no effect and I had completely written noopept off attributing my one experience with it to placebo. At this point I was a big believer that noopept just didn't work for me, and then I came across the game changer that changed noopept into my all time favorite nootropic......MICRODOSING!!! Thats right, take a lower than 10mg dose. I take about 4-5mg using a scoop and half filling it, take that sublingual with 300mg of CDP and BOOM. The best way I can describe it is my mind feels like its on fire.
So there you have it, that's why I don't believe in noopept non responders, they are all just guys like me who only ever dosed in the 10mg+ range....and maybe used a crap choline source like bitartrate.
My current stack, which is the most effective stack I've come up with:
5mg noopept.
300mg CDP choline.
1000mg lions mane (high strength 50% polysaccharides, weak lions mane is crap IMO and as far as I know 50% polysaccharides is the strongest available ATM.)
500mg DHA.
Phoenix nutrition's optimum multi vitamin + mineral (bog standard multi's just don't cut it in my opinion you need the most bio available forms of vitamins and chelated minerals, a good guide to spot a bad multi is if it contains folic acid rather than folate, if its using the cheapest form of folate you can make a safe bet its using the cheapest form of everything.)

It’s going to be really hard to measure out 5 mg even on a .01 scale. I tried once and ended up getting super nauseous after snorting the powder which is why I ordered the nasal spray. You almost need a .001 scale. They are pretty expensive but I’ve seen a few on eBay from China for under $400

Do you mean 0.01/0.001 g or mg scale? A 0.001g scale is totally sufficient for measuring out 0.005g/5mg and runs for $20.
Noopept intranasally works a lot better than any other way.

I have this .001g scale and find it pretty hard to get an accurate measurement for anything under 10g

You almost need something like this for under 10g measurements

You sure you don't mean under 10mg? Because the second scale is not even a 0.001g but a 0.0001g scale, meaning you would get a measurement precision which is factor 104 more precise than the weight you are trying to determine.
This is absolutely absurd, so you either misspoke, or you get your metric conversions wrong by a factor of a thousand (0.001g/a milligram means a thousandth of a gram). That would be both quite expensive and dangerous for the substances discussed here.

What I was trying to say is the first scale in the link I posted is a .001g which is what I currently have and which I believe is not accurate enough for a 5 mg measurement. The second link I posted is a .0001g scale which is what I would think is needed and would be more accurate for a small measurement like 5 mg. I attached a picture of the scale I have with some measurements. In the top picture is an example of a little bit of creatine powder which doesn’t even show a measurement it stays at zero. Then the picture below is 4 different measurements using the exact same amount of creatine powder and all 4 measurements are different which is why I don’t think a .001g scale is adequate enough for such small measurements.@John250
