Take everyday?

gaz2uk's Photo gaz2uk 03 Jan 2008

Hey,

Should nootropics be taken everyday? or is it best to take them 5 days a week for example?

Things like, ginkgo, vinpocetine, serine, etc....

Best to give both your liver and brain a break every once in awhile. 5 days per week is plenty.

Things like ginkgo and serine though that are supposed to take up to a few weeks to work properly, still best to just take them for 5 days at a time? it'll still work as well?

They'll give you more antioxidant protection which should allow for more growth (neuroplasticity, ngf) over time
It seems wise to cycle off of most supps. ocassionaly to avoid some negative effects.
