✴️ DO YOU TAKE NOOTROPICS? YEAH, I TAKE BRAIN PILLS! 🤯

What's Up STACKERS! 


Charles, are you insane? We'll sometimes 🤣. For many years (about 10), I've been taking supplements called Nootropics, in other words... Brain Food! 👨🏼‍🎓

So what are Nootropics? They are known as smart drugs and cognitive enhancers, are drugs, supplements, and other substances that improve cognitive function like memory, creativity, thinking and motivation.

Yes, even Coffee and Nicotine are considered a Nootropics... I tend to have about 3 cups of it a day, on ice of course. ☕

There are may forms of Nootropics but I like to keep it in natural form as possible. So I decided to test this brand out for months called "Smarter Vitamins". 

Studies have shown that if you stack Alpha-GPC, Bacopa, and 5-HTP all together... it can help with mental functions. 

Many will say it's just a fairly tale or a placebo effect. However, I've been using myself as a guinea pig for many years and in my opinion, it does work! 

Don't get me wrong, it's not a magic pill or anything like that. It's not going to make you into a rocket scientist but when I take these types of supplements... my memory and thinking is so much clearer than without them.

So do you guys take Nootropics? Have you ever heard of them before? I recommend that everyone do some research on them and you can thank me later 😜

Keep On STACKIN! 💞

Beautiful .. Interesting
You have the right that these supplements have a good feeling, but I am afraid of their unnatural effects
We must be careful and consultation with the doctor is necessary
Thanks for sharing

Is that the 10X Rule? How was that book?

You know me, the 10x rule book is one of the best books ever created 🤑 🤩

Excuse the noobie but this tickled my fancy. I have used and tried almost anything to enhance ny quality of life and most of what has been successful did not come from Big Pharma. One exception is Modafinil (Provigil) a more natural and safer nootropic, certainly in comparison to Aderall, with no ephedrine or stimulants. Sharpness of thought and the overwhelming desire to keep doing things, anything. Study, housework, excercise and even cut the grass with the feeling that you want to do them all at the same time 😳 The beauty is addiction isn’t usually an issue as its more of a ‘use when needed’ type of drug. There are better nootropic style ‘meds’ out there that do more than just boost celeberal and cognitive abilities but that’s another story.
Thanks for the topic

Yeah, seen this around. I like to take more of a natural way of doing nootropics 😎

I take vitamin b12 and eat salmon at least once a week. That seems to help improve brain function.

your idea is new and impressive, as we don't think about that like nootropics.

I put coconut oil in my coffee, try to get 3 Tbl a day on board and I find it helps with cognitive function but I am going to give your recipe a try. I have heard good things about all three ingredients, even tried to grow bacopa once!

Seriously, I have not heard that people in their normal state of mind do take brain pills. I taught is only people that are mentally ill do take it not until now. Thanks for that vital information.

I think most of today’s society is mentally ill 😂

What is a "normal state of mind"? One might feel OK, but that doesn't mean that one can't feel even better through improving one's own metabolism. I have a friend who used to be constantly worried, before he tried 5-HTP, a natural serotonine precursor. Shortly after discovering it, he was all like "Gosh, I used to have generalized anxiety disorder!" (which is not entirely accurate due to the diagnostic criteria - but where does disease begin and where does health stop?)

I do not remember if I ever took brain pill. Maybe I should have so I can remember if I ever took Nootropic.

What was your question again?

Actually, I never thought of taking a brain pill. Good idea now that I am older to remember better.

Your Funny @hanamana! I forgot I wrote a post a few minutes ago but I just took some "brain pills" and remembered instantly haha

Your are funnier. we should come up with our own pill called "Funny Pill" to make our brain think funnier thoughts to cure all the depression.

I've heard a bit about them over the years. Never actually used them myself but I think some have been proved to improve cognition. A lot of students have been using them for exams etc.
Cool post I'm going to investigate nootropics a bit...

I have never used them before. I will try to checkout some and their effects. I have done coffee but the effects are not strong enough on me.

Apppresh! Yeah, do some research and create your own “stack”. They do work in my opinion 🤩

Awesome!
I like your posts mate so I'm following and gonna upvote the nootropics post in a minute

I drink caffeine and green tea, take my omega 3 and my daily multivitamin, i sometimes take supplements like l-carnitine and creatine which have been proven to help in the thinking department, i eat curcumin and black pepper which have, supposedly, a neurogenesis effect... my brain is indeed clearer then it was some years ago, after damaging it with huge amounts of alcohol i think my brain deserves as much fuel as he can get!

I took some magic mushrooms years ago :-) was also a boost :-D
Actually I am fine with my workout.

Changed my life when I took some 20 years ago 😅

I took some Nerium supplements for my tiny brains, but that stuff is prrrrrrrrrrrrrrricey! :O

Those are pricy, I got my "Smarter" pack on Amazon fort $80. Should last me 3 months 😬

See, you didn't need smarty pills before becoming a smart shopper - haha -

So you are smart that's how you do it ;)

The producers of 'Limitless' are coming for you. :P

Haha

I feel you should stop these pills and get into some natural therapies like meditation and yoga for brain boosting, not only will it boost the brain but it will also assist you with overall well being.
Pills are temporary boosters but these practices will help you elevate on permanent basis.

It's important to mention the difference between natural nootropics and pharmaceutical products, usually created to combat specific brain diseases. L-Tryptophane, 5-HTP, Bacopa or Centella asiatica can be considered as safe (as long as they are not overdosed), unlike Concerta, Ritaline, or L-Dopa (which also are referred to as "brain pills" sometimes). A great source of information that I personally use and love to recommend is http://examine.com - this platform provides you with scientific research on various effects of nootropics and supplements.

Clearing your mind before doing anything brings about concentration which will help you to achieve your goals. Great post though! Thanks for sharing.

Is it like the Limitless pill?

If so I'm game! lol

Interesting stuff you come up with sir, I'll have to check it out. Especially because you mentioned the link with coffee and that's my drug of choice lol

I only wish 😂 🤣

Personally i can't take any of those, not apl coffee goes down well with me.

Hi, I have heard of nootropics a few times new since coming to the platform, and I am seeing some glowing anecdotal reviews, like yours. You mentioned research evidence and I wondered if you had a study or two on hand to share with readers who are seeking some resources to start their personal investigation?

Don't have any idea about these things...but lot of my friends take marijuana....I tried to take it once but didn't like it so I left it....

Interesting. I've never heard of this pill before. Is it approved by FDA?

These are but I don’t trust the FDA 🤣

I agree. FDA has their own ulterior motive not the best interest in us, the end users.

Hola @Stackin
Si lo conozco. De hecho lo tomo.
Lo adquiero como Breinox o Piracetam es un fármaco de síntesis hidrosoluble con acción nootrópica a nivel cerebral. Es considerado un agente neuroprotector.
Excelente Oxigenante cerebral.
Saludos.
