I consider to give it a try. Has anyone done that and willing to share the experience?
Need to decide between trubrain, nootrobox or nootroo.

unapproved by the FDA...Seems like a good idea.

more inclined for trubrain but the option for non caffeine still not there yet.

I think these products might be kind of a rip off in terms of what you are getting for the price. You will get better value by buying the actual nootropics...for instance piracetam in powder or capsule form and mixing it with choline.

Get a capsule machine for under $20-$30.

One thing that worked once was when i tried DHA and PABA together. tried for a week. was great unless it was psychosomatic. not sure.
I think a good diet with good proteins and quality fats, like fish, bone marrow, minerals, juicing, also vitamins that contribute to good brain body chemistry, no stress and sleep will be best over the nootropics. exercise and dont forget intellectual stimulation, challenge, learning. sunshine, etc n things that grow receptors. positive outlook on life. happiness... elements of a good life.

Modafinil?

ONNIT's Alpha Brain has done some interesting blind studies. The ingredients in it and a lot of these however are kinda sketchy to me.

This guy has written quite a bit on the subject. The funny thing is that it also reads like someone who is on nootropics

Based on my experience, the effects are real but they also vary a lot from person to person. Some people experience a strong effect while for others it's almost nothing. Modafinil is apparently popular in Silicon Valley because it gives you intense focus and lets you stay up for a long time. Piracetam is more subtle but has a similar effect in terms of focus and energy.

Nootrobox looks like a baby formula. It doesn't contain any racetams that will boost focus, memory, or dramatically boost mental cognition. Trubrain is a little more decent, but Nootroo looks a good. My biggest issue with Nootroo besides cost effectiveness is the ingredients that would normally fill 4 capsules. One racetam augmented with CDP-Choline, with a smooth coffee (Caffeinie/L-Theanine). Somehow Nootroo packs it all into 1 capsule? So either its a really big pill packed tight, or it doesn't contain a full dose to flip through an entire book in one day.

Yeah it's interesting that those branded supplement sites (Alphabrain etc) don't include piracetam and other racetams as ingredients even though they are considered the most effective nootropics.
The reason might be that while they are legal, you are apparently not allowed to market them "for human consumption" in the U.S.
However you will find sites selling the raw powder and capsules

tried Sprint today from nootrobox.
Probably too early to judge but so far a productive day.

I randomly came across this podcast about nootropics.
http://www.tropicalmba.com/smart…He mentioned the good and bad sides of a lot of enhancers.
One thing that got me interested was this thing in Adderall that makes you read even the most boring of texts like you are doing the most interesting thing in the world.That's my problem, I can't read long information without getting distracted, I need focus and that weird sort of curiosity when you're on some other types of drugs.
Also that definition reminded me of how Meth works. I think he also mentioned that it supports dopamine production of the body but once you stop using them you body can't reproduce dopamin naturally anymore.
Did you guys tried something that doesn't kill you or stop dopamine production while enhancing your cognitive skills?
- imo dont fuck with anything that messes with dopamine.inteliboy
- so you avoid enjoying anything?imbecile
- increased dopamine over time -> downregulation of dopamine receptorsdrgs

- avoid spikes in dopamine; addicitons, internet loop browsing, even listening to music

I just bought a pack of 100mg Modiodial from the pharmacy.
I read somewhere that they required prescription starting from Jan 2016, but that wasn't true I guess. I just bought it and swallowed one about an hour ago.
I had my morning coffee 3 hours ago.
I'll write about my experience soon.- btw it has 100 mg of modafinil in it.Beeswax
- 4:39pm - Nothing changed I'm just upvoting every post on Qbn. Love is all we need.Beeswax
- I would recommend taking at least 200mg to get any real effect.yuekit
- Keep in mind it's very subtle. 100mg and you may be left wondering if it worked at all or just placebo effect.yuekit
- I definitely felt more up and vital. Also I think it triggered my allergies just like caffeine does.Beeswax
