Mind Power Rx

munky135's Photo munky135 06 Jan 2006

Has anyone ever heard of or tried this product? (http://www.raysaheli...indpowerrx.html)

I was thinking about taking this along with Piracetam in order to do well in school and improve my intelligence, memory, etc.

Do you think the combination of drugs/herbs in Mind Power Rx is good? Would adding Piracetam be unnecessary? Is there a more optimal combo?

The ingredients look good. Most people would say that it is underdosed, however.

well 1-3 month supply would mean I would take up to 3 pills a day. would tripling those dosages be about right?

Here is an example: Most people are going to be taking anywhere from 250-1000+ mg of Acetyl-L-Carnitine, 500-1000+ mg of carnosine, 20-40mg of vinpocetine, 500+ mg of tyrosine, etc.

Yeah, good ingredients, but far too low a dosage. I take 3g of carnosine a day, for example (morning, noon, night -- 1g each). And Ginkgo alone should be 120mg daily. Of course, some coverage in all of these areas is better than none.

@shepard
vinpocetine should be in 5 mg not 500mg

You lost me. I said that most people take 20-40 mg of vinpocetine.

I think he overlooked the comma between vinpocetine and the 500mg.
