1. Hydergine
2. Deprenyl

I would consider deprenyl slightly "addictive" though, so I am not sure it should be considered a nootropic.

And after taking hydergine and getting the 2-adrenergic inhibition I have quit taking caffeine, which has made my bottles of chocamine useless.

I wont give a 3rd place because I can think of about 5 that are tied for 3rd.

How do you pronounce nootropic? My guess is Noh-oh-tropic.

I'd have to go with...

o Fish oil
o Blueberry extract (the new LEF one is superb)
o Vinopocetine

I really can't go without mentioning melatonin, acetyl-l-carnitine arginate and ginko.

FYI, from LEF's site: "Acetyl-l-carnitine arginate is a patented form of carnitine that stimulates the growth of neurites in the brain. Studies show that acetyl-l-carnitine arginate stimulates the growth of new neurites by an astounding 19.5%, which is almost four times better than acetyl-l-carnitine. "

I would go with piracetam, fish oil and bacopa if I was limited to 3.

I think nootropic is pronounced new-oh-tropic

[prodigy2020]

I figured it's pronounced new - trOpic or new - trahpic, like the noo in noose.

[simple]

Im new, going to the point, Indium Sulfate, Juvenal or Selegiline and Aniracetam

can you comment on the blueberry extract? i didnt know this was a noot

[FunkOdyssey]

In a study on rats fed blueberry extract, blueberry improved learning skills, memory, reversed neuromotor dysfunction, and raised dopamine levels in the rat brain.

LEF has been pioneering blueberries as a supplement. Check this out for more detail: http://www.lef.org/m...eberries_01.htm

I eat a full cup of wild organic blueberries every morning so I think its one supplement I can safely skip. Its probably a good thing to consider if you cant incorporate them into your diet easily though.
