Hi everyone, great site. Here's my question. I am a Honors College student and am looking for a nootropic stack that will help with concentration, energy and studying ability.

I was wondering if there is an all in one formula that I could buy , as I would rather do that, or If it's better to order separatly.

If seperatly , what ingredients and dosage should I look for and what is approximate cost per month probably.

Sorry for all the newbie quesitons, I appreciate all the help.

Hi, all newbie questions and insights welcome. (I hope!)

There is one particular all-in-one product I think you would find helpful. It's called Get Smart and contains a good deal of the key ingredients that are endorsed on this site in one pill.

You might also want to consider complementing this with Vasopressin (Desmopressin) in also assisting with retention and concentration. It's highly recommended. With Desmopressin, you shouldn't use as liberally as you can with Get Smart. The dosage information is provided.

For these nootropics, I'd say the approximate cost per month is in the range of 40-60 USD, depending on your Vasopressin usage.

Although currently I take everything individually, I would love to have an all-in-one but I think nootropic effects are probably individualized enough that the one size fits all will never really occur.

That being said, you might wish to look at Orthomind which is billed as a 'cognitive enhancer'. It may provide you with the results you are looking for.

Advanced Orthomolecular Research has other nootropic, cognitive products. I get pretty much everything from them except nootropil/piracetam.

Kevin,

Are you able to directly buy from them online? The best I could do was get them to provide retailers where I might find the product. I was also interested in an all-in-one and simply started using the first that I stumbled upon. How much does the Orthomind cost? Would you say AOR's quality is pretty much the best from your experience?

Thanks,
Jace

Appartently Neuroflow is no longer made by the company S.A.N Corp, but is still being sold by various distributors.

What are your feelings about using the product as a nootropic?

[shpongled]

Neuroflow is way underdosed, it would work well at 12 caps daily but that would get expensive.

One thing to keep in mind is that combinations of nootropics have not been researched much at all. So the more you pile on the more chance you have of overstimulation. Many times the dosages follow inverted U patterns, so if you pile a bunch on at the same time the additive effects may end up making the combination ultimately ineffective. Companies that make combination products often do not take these potential interactions into consideration.

I agree with shpongled, not a bad product to try, but it's more cost effective to take the main ingredients seperately.
