Brain Function Boosters 3.0

Well, I did some searching around the interwebz… Prami sounds like something I will definitely be trying soon. :slight_smile:

My current obsession is trying to find people who can compare citicoline (CDP choline) to centrophenoxine (Lucidril). There was a user here who had some great results with centro, perhaps due to its “house cleaning” effects. On other sites, the CDP seems to be preferred. I’m currently using DMAE, but I’d like to swap it out for one of these two as an experiment. Of course, funds are limited, so I have to choose one. :frowning:

Anybody have any suggestions?

326

What do you mean by ‘house cleaning’ effect?

327

De-gunks the mind. :wink: JohnnyBlaze posted about it one of the BFB threads.

Yeah centrophenoxine removes age-related plaque (lipofuscin) from the soma of neurones.

I kicked off my proper foray into the world of noops with it and though I have nothing to compare it to, I was pleased with the results.

I mean hey, who am I to say that the centro really did clean out my neurons and trigger advanced synaptogenesis, lol, but subjectively, I felt more positive and clear-minded after using it.

Would use again. In fact I seem to recal saying that I would use it every 5 years as part of my ‘forever young’ (LOL) protocol.

lol, Sounds cool. Thanks for the info.

I forget something, what sort of dosing did you use BBB?

Does anyone have experience with capping your own powders?
I was thinking of getting one of these, I’m not sure about if I want to get size “0” or “00” or another?.

It says that size “0” holds ~500mg and size “00” holds ~735mg.

What I’ll be capping is:
DMAE - 600mg
Aniracetam - 600mg
Oxiracetam - 600-800mg
Bacopa - 600mg

I’m also wondering if I should be making them smaller or not, seeing as this is my frist run of this, and I don’t know how sensitive I will be which is why I’m sort of leaning to the size “0”.
Please share any protocols or experiences you’ve had with this.

How could you go about combining a stack with a diet with intermittent fasting. Something like lean gains where the only thing you take in the morning is 10 grams of bcaa. Since vinpo is better absorbed with food, what’s your take on saving it for later in the day?

335

Afaik, most noops are absorbed best when taken with fat, because they require shuttles to get across the blood-brain barrier, so taking them on an empty stomach would be inefficient.

336

Just ordered my prami. I’m excited. Recommended dosing?

337

Read at smartpowders, a poster said he took it in 400mg doses.

Is there a general consensus that between Oxiracetam, Aniracetam and Pramiracetam the latter one is the best of all three cetams? By they way, what is a reputable source to buy it online? I have searched and searched, but found nothing.

Posting of sources is verboten.

However, I can give you my opinion on the 3, as I’ve used them all.

Oxi is excellent when it comes to memorization, recall is simply easier, Prami is similar. For whatever reason large doses of Taurine seem to work well with Oxi too, may just be my mind but it’s a common ingredient in energy drinks so I bought some of my own and upped the dose. I’m a fan.

Only difference I noticed between Prami and oxi is price…and taste, the Prami I got is one of the foulest tasting powders I have ever consumed. Ever. I’m sure it was a result of the manufacturing process, but seriously, cap it if you find it.

Aniracetam is my daily one, 3X ED ~600mg. I’ve been using that fairly consistently for almost 2 years. I think it just adds a subtle sharpness, nothing too major. It essentially serves a different purpose than the prami or oxi which seem to be more of a special occasion dosing (sitting down for intense study for a few hours, not just going to class or reviewing stuff casually).

Piraracetam would be your other choice for daily use, some people seem to respond better to one (ani) or the other (pira) and generally base them stack on daily use of one of these two and specialized uses for the others. Never tried Pira, can’t say much about it other than that.

Hard work is always going to be the decider, busting your ass will make a bigger difference than all of these put together (Because I’ve done that on more than one occasion).

I am super excited for my first experience with noops apart from powerdrive. Mostly for my first with a -racetam. Is it bad that I constantly monitor my package’s progress?

344

Umm I was joking… You weren’t supposed to take it that personally lol
