Do any of you take Nootropics?

I take L-theanine as a beginner nootropic and have dabbled in Alpha GPC but haven't been able to stomach the alpha.


If you do take some nootropics, what is your favorite stack to take or single dosage?


What do you recommend for someone with GERD's that wont kill the gut stacking?

Nootropics, do you take them?

I tried AlphaBrain from Onnit years ago and I didn’t notice any difference so 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m skeptical.

It's hard to trust Joe Rogans products from Onnit. Lions Mane is one of their main ingredients but not the best. Also every person needs to stack nootropics differently so relying on a manufactured stack usually doesn't work.

Agreed! I did a little research and I know some Onnit products did receive Prop 65 notices but unsure what came of it. But beyond prop 65, a lot of this stuff is unregulated so it’s hard to trust any of it.

I've had zero positive experience. Alpha brain and similar I felt nothing. I've tried a few of the 'stronger' varieties, I did this before going to play poker(use to play all-nighters)  Every time, I instead downloaded tinder and spent hours finding a lay.  Shameful. . .

Then you have to isolate specific dosages of a single nootropic and find the right mg that works through the day. i.e. L-Theanine I take 200 mg in the morning with coffee, sometimes another 200 mg at lunch if it's a busy day. 

Then you have to add in new nootropics and do what we call a "stack" where you take them together or staggered through the day. Some pro trop dudes are taking 30+ nootropics and are ridiculous to keep up with since they are at optimal performance and they all take different stacks.

Never felt anything with this stuff. Also kind of turned off of anything that could alter mood or focus. Never know what long term impact they could have

Right when WFH started, I began trying different nootropics. Not for everyone, but I prefer dose mindhoney. Takes place of your morning coffee, no jitters, and lasts throughout the peak of the day

I like it. Similar to a tea buzz but stronger. Not a stim like coffee. Focusing on tasks like email, contract drafting, & tasks are improved.

Depending on your country, holland and barratt, apparently, do good mushroom based nootropics

I just started taking a product called Genius Mushrooms. Have you ever heard of it? Today is my first day taking and they seem to work so far? Could be placebo, I dunno!

maybe? Even if it's a placebo effect, the process of drinking my coffee and taking AlphaBrain helps me get locked in.

Proudly a Joe Rogan mark and repeat customer of Onnit Alpha Brain. They keep taking my money but I keep believing it works for me. I cycled off it for maybe 2 years, got back on Alpha Brain and my mind went VROOOM!!! again.

Jarrow 5-HTP and SamE (sprouts/ Whole Foods/ online) are super helpful for mood/ focus! Highly recommend. The Olly brand Focus gummies (Target) also work great but have been super hard to find recently tbh. I also second the Maca + Ashwaganda suggestions but more like at the end of the workday to chill out.

I haven't taken any Nootropics like an AlphaBrain but for any ex-athletes, I would highly recommend taking pre-workout if you hit the gym in the morning. The pre will usually give me enough of a kick for the whole day.

AlphaBrain worked for me and have also used Lions Mane tea from Four Sigmatic.  Currently prescribed Strattera, a non-stimulant ADD medication.  Easy to get from Dr. without all the tests for Adderall.  Saved me in Finance III and Business Stats class in Uni.

Try out HVMN nootropics stack-that's what I use. Pretty good stuff

I've tried AlphaBrain, MindLabPro & NooCube - definitely recommend considering a stack for your brain. It's similar to leveraging supplements for working out; legal vitamins meant to maximize brain performance.

If you are already familiar with Nootropics, then without question MindLabPro has the most noticeable impact. I combine it with NooCube (good value for $ but diff. function), high concentration DHA/EPA Fish Oil and a product called SeraLastin by Juvenon. The stack actually has a significant impact in several ways. Benefits include focus, clarity, positive mood, emotional consistency, and ability to deal with stress.

Of course, sleep, diet and exercise also have an impact; any type of wellness activity in fact like meditation, journaling or other on a consistent basis will help with stress management as well.

Best of luck!

Welcome to the war room. Those are great recommendations and I appreciate your explanation. With some digging, I will definitely look into those brands to see how best to stack.
