Nootropics! Your thought's? Alpha brain etc

[Potent]

Hey Hunters,

Nootropic

From Wikipedia,

Nootropics ( /noʊ.əˈtrɒpɨks/ noh-ə-trop-iks), also referred to as smart drugs, memory enhancers, neuro enhancers, cognitive enhancers, and intelligence enhancers, are drugs, supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional foods that improve mental functions such as cognition, memory, intelligence, motivation, attention, and concentration. The word nootropic was coined in 1972 by the Romanian Dr. Corneliu E. Giurgea, derived from the Greek words νους nous, or "mind," and τρέπειν trepein meaning "to bend/turn". Nootropics are thought to work by altering the availability of the brain's supply of neurochemicals (neurotransmitters, enzymes, and hormones), by improving the brain's oxygen supply, or by stimulating nerve growth.

I have always bin interested in the Enhancement of the human body/mind ever since watching sci-fi movies as a kid and i am fascinated with the human body and how it works.

I have also bin following (not literally) a comedian/martial artist/Cannabis supporter/commentator called Joe Rogan

a brief intro to Joe -

He does a few podcast's a week http://www.ustream.tv/joerogan he has really interesting guests like Stoner's, Comedians, author's, Martial Artists, porn stars, muscians even deadmau5 to think of a few. A couple of years ago he had a guest called Aubrey Markus Scientist/CEO of Onnit and they where talking about Nootropics this got me interested in the subject... not half as much as Canna but still enough to make me want to try some. So with that i made an order with "Onnit" http://www.Onnit.com at that time they only made a couple of products but i was mainly interested in "Alpha Brain" so i ordered a pack and i noticed positive effects. Since then they have changed and improved the formula and have released other supplements too. Which led me to make another order and again i feel positive effects which led me on to this post.

Here are a few which Onnit make. If other hunters know of any other companies please list

Onnit have a uk distributor for any uk peeps who would like to try.

Alpha BRAIN®

The idea behind the Alpha BRAIN® dietary supplement was to create the first ever fully balanced nootropic. Alpha GPC and Huperzia Serrata maximize acetylcholine levels while other ingredients assist in elevating dopamine and GABA levels, crucial components to remaining calm, focused, and mentally driven. Our vinpocetine assists in delivering oxygen and nutrients to the brain via increased blood flow, and the combination of neuro-specific antioxidants, led by our proprietary AC-11® helps to clear away mental fog and reduce free radical burden. The result experienced by many of our satisfied customers is an extraordinary combination of lucid dreams, mental drive, focus, memory, and mental acuity.

Shroom TECH™ Sport

The idea behind Shroom TECH™ Sport was to create a supplement that real athletes could take safely every day, even the day of competition. We wanted clean energy, a proven track record, and general health benefits and we found it in our exclusive combination of cordyceps mushroom, adaptogens, antioxidants and methyl b12. Shroom TECH™ Sportbattles fatigue like no other supplement on the market, providing cellular energy through the production of ATP rather than stimulant based energy, and improves oxygen utilization to help you go longer, recover faster, and set a new personal best.

New MOOD™

Serotonin has been shown to be the key neurotransmitter linked to mood, happiness, and positive outlook. With this in mind, New MOOD™ is designed to be the most effective natural serotonin booster ever created. Combining the two raw sources of serotonin, L-tryptophan and 5-HTP, with a converting catalyst, Vitamin B6, New MOOD™ is a serotonin boosting powerhouse. Adding to the naturally relaxing effects of L-Tryptophan are a host of herbs designed to help bring your body into a state of relaxed calm. Magnesium is a natural anti-spasmodic element vital for muscle relaxation, and vitamin D3 has further been linked to positive mood benefits. Crucial for when you are under stress or dealing with exhaustion, New MOOD™ is also ideal for daily use. When combined with a regimen of Alpha BRAIN®, all four major neurotransmitters, Serotonin, Dopamine, Acetylcholine and GABA are being provided with nutrient precursors to help the body create maximum mental and emotional prowess.

Hemp Force

In creating Hemp Force, the whole food protein supplement, we had four objectives: keep it simple, keep it nutritious, make sure it won’t make you bloated, and it better be delicious. We combined the protein powerhouse hemp with nutrient packed cocoa, and the hormone modulating superfood Maca, then sweetened with a little Stevia and realized we had found a little bit of magic. High in protein, fiber, and packed with minerals and nutrients like Omega 3, 6, 9 fatty acids, Hemp Force is a delicious protein food supplement to be enjoyed by athletes and snackers alike.

As i have found positive effects from them i thought i would post up about them and see if any other hunters have used any other Nootropics or just there views on them. I like to think of them as a 0.1% Limitless pill! but could it be a taste of the future..... with the research being done on Cannabis maybe we could be seeing a few Cannabinoids being extracted and being added to the mix.

I felt i had to start the post off about Joe Rogan as i would not have found out about Nootropics if it wasn't for him or the many other interesting things they talk about so i had to give him credit and his standup is brilliant if your in the states go check him and death squad out!

Same for Onnit as they are the only Nootropic's i have tried. It has got me and my friends that interested we're even thinking of bulk buying the ingredients and making up our own.

Peace

Hehe nice thanks for the reply and your thoughts dude

I thought this would be something you would have input on. Yes i have read similar information regarding the theory of the chemical imbalance of the brain. What Nootropics did you try if you don't mind me asking?

I have to agree for this example the "New mood" product that work's in the way you described above. I think the "Alpha Brain" was an interesting one, i did have effects from it including Lucid dreaming beyond what i have had in the past some where incredible and that was taking 1 pill in the morning and 1 at night. I am more interested in the "Shroom Tech Sport" for when i do my jui-jitsu which i will trying my first cycle next week.

As with the good balanced diet that is always advised anyway and whenever you can you should eat as healthy as possible and there are many high in protein foods like you stated hemp seed being one of the best in the world and easiest to obtain (in the uk) but i have to admit i am a fan of a nice beef steak and lamp chops with mint n gravy Yum!

nothing like smoking some cannabis and feel a rush of ideas and thoughts threw your brain, some times can be too much and you're thinking in 4 or 5 subjects at the same time witch can be a bit confusing lol

I could not agree more hehe u know that's right hehe

Thanks for the tip on the Psilocybe Cubensis il have a lil read about it. I'm mainly interested in the training benefits as I'm going back to jui-jitsu and aikido so i thought i'd try the "Shroom tech sport" alongside the "Alpha Brain" see how i do over the course of october, will be interesting to see if any a difference in recovery times etc as being a smoker for years my recovery time is my biggest problem! I'l do a follow up post soon of my thought's anyway.

It's a golden age information and Technology and we're part of it

Peace

Yeah cool thanks man, Il do a post of my feelings towards after a month lil trial.

Yes i have bin reading about that 5-HTP that is in the "New mood" product i'm not too sure about that one, L-yrosine is one of the added ingredients to the new Alpha Brain formula as well as PS (Serine) All of this is still fairly new to me. My first batch i got was a leap of faith if you will i heard about these alpha brains from Joe Rogan and thought why not it's worth a go lol

With more reading i'm starting to get more of an idea behind them. It's like you need to have a Chemistry & Biology degree just to understand some of it haha

It's very interesting stuff! Just trying to balance out the reading on the subject coz naturally my Canna research takes up most of my reading time per day hehe

Wiki FTW

Peace

very interesting post man!!

I like to read about those "upgrade" of the human body too, and really hope that you will be satisfied with the ones that you are trying!

But i personally don't feel confident enough toward those companies to take something that will affect my brain or any other system ^^

I would more be on the Cubensis ide if i had to do any of those experiment you're talking about I prefer the natural ways lolol i know it is not necesarly justified but that's the way i feel it ^^

It will be very interesting to read your report after a month Don't forget us

Good luck man and keep tht infos coming

[Potent]

Yeah cool dust, There made out of natural ingredients well the one's i take are all mainly extracts from Herbs and Mushrooms so it's natural lolol

The Cubensis mushroom cool, Since fuzzy said about them i have bin reading but not my sort o thing. I'm just not that shroomy type o guy hehe

In this case i would rather take a supplement which is made form natural ingredients with the main extracts from the Mushrooms/Fungi which wont make me trip out and get me arrested for trying to buy some and before you say it i'm not going to farm mushrooms heheh let alone the whole ecstasy effect from them na i think i'd rather smoke a j hehe

Either way i think trying to find some of that Cubensis Mushroom could be a nightmare let alone trying to get over the taste of it (don't like mushrooms to eat either) or even preparing it i wouldn't have a clue!

Taking mushrooms like that have never bin my thing always bin more of a weed head smoking a j while my friends where tripping on shrooms hehe

I'm just testing these out to see if there are any clear benefits with regards to training on them.

Peace

[Dust]

I feel ya man, i'm not a shroom guy neither

Actually i've never tried them, well once but not enough so i had no trippin. Same for extasy and company, I never took any "hard drug" and didn't plan too lolol, i'll stick to my Rhum and Ganja!!

cheers

Hi,

Interesting to find a topic on Nootropics here. I have been googling my butt off to see if there are any nootropic forums online  hahaha

Yes I did come across Alpha brain by onnit and it seems promising. However I think this is easily available in Europe and USA compared to India 

This led me to some reading material on modafinil based 'stuff' which obviously is controlled and requires a prescription. Man its so hard to get stoned, high or get cognitively enhanced in this country 

 

Please do try the Alpha Brain if you havent already and publish some reports here. thanks 

[ganjalover]

I try some shit. It is can hit you brain away from smoking for all your life. My lucky I try only one tablet of this shit.

 

be careful with shit like this. It is really dangerous especially for smokers.
