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. Source - http://www.Onnit.com 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
