Given sleep, exercise, and a good diet as the basis - no alcohol or recreational drug consumption, what is the most effective nootropic you have used?

Deprenyl :) but i don't consider it a nootropic in direct effect, in terms i don't think it helps me "think" better, but overall state is enhanced, which leads to enhanced cognitive performance as well

Deprenyl gave me a definite mood improvement, not unpleasant in any way.

I prefer vinpocetine as a nootropic to use daily.

Deprenyl is not a stimulant by itself. Some report mood change, even euphoric feeling. As i see it mostly happens with younger users, and usually is balanced after about 5-15 days. Again it all depends on your own chemistry. Deprenyl is a drug, it's not a supplement.

Piracetam is the best noot, IMO.

Ditto on the vinpocetine. Although I like the racetams (a lot!) I find vinpocetine blends nicely with my lifestyle. It's like turning up the Clarity control a notch.

Plus it's widely available; you can find it in health food stores.

This is like asking what's the best vitamin, or what's the best mineral. It's not a meaningful question to ask. A range of noots are best -- not any single one.

Deprenyl is not scheduled, it's registered in US but you can only get it for Parkinson if i remember correctly.

Piracetam is widely available from several US retailers. Browse supplier section to see where to buy.

This isn't like what is the best xxx. He asked what is the most effective nootropic you have used. He merely asked for personal favorites. Like you see not everyone likes the same stuff ;)

Since we don't really need nootropics, it's a different situation. I think we could make an interesting argument for "best nootropic" from a longevity perspective, assuming no adverse reactions, etc.

Well, I still prefer to say you need more than one, otherwise, too many bases are left uncovered for the steal. ;-) Maybe deprenyl, though, if I had to just place a single bet.

In the new issue of LEF, they make a case for a conjugated phosphatidylserine-DHA molecule being all critical.
