Brain Function Boosters 3.0

I’ve done some reviewing of this thread. So if I’m asking an often repeated question, flame away.

Is it possibly to use moderately, say only during large study sessions using

Prami 300-500mg OR ani 800mg
Vinpo 10mg
Choline
Fish oil

Thoughts on that?

I don’t know much about prami but I’ve read that oxi is better for study sessions, and that long term use has a positive cumulative effect.

Thanks man. Put an order in tonight.

Ok so I ordered oxi, vinpo, and DMAE. My goal is to use them for study sessions. So my lay out would be vinpo and DMAE and oxi only before sessions. Does this workout well or should I really focus on daily does of the racetam?

I’ve heard/read that ani/oxi are synergistic, and that ani is like the 3x daily one, while oxi is for study sessions.
This is what I have down for myself:

[quote]Summary
Daily
Vinpocetine: 3x/day @ 10 mg with food(fat)
DMAE bitartrate(~30%DMAE): 1-2x/day @ 600mg(2x/day when studying)
Aniracetam: 3x/day @ 600mg(take these with fat)

Studying:
Oxiracetam: ½ hour before studying 600-800mg, taken with fat[/quote]

Any reason why DMAE is the preferred source of choline?

I think it has to do with absorption, and it’s very inexpensive.

first off-great thread(s)! the info from y’all is mind blowing!

secondly, i’d like some advice on a brain stack of my own…

i typically workout out when i get up (9-10 a.m.), and head to work at 2:30pm (until 11pm). i’m thinking of taking some dopamine enhancing (tyrosine, DLPA, caffeine) supps when i get up, and take some acetylcholine supps (DMAE, vinpo, aniracetam) prior to work. possibly some seratonin/GAPA enhancing after work, prior to bed…

also, i have ADD (inattentive disorder-i more or less day-dream a lot, unless i take a shitload of stimulants).

does that look like a good basic plan of attack?

Hmm… tried to post this earlier, but I guess it didn’t take.

Are there any noops/supplements that would help one smash through procrastination and get sh*t done? Or am I falling into the trap of looking for a ‘magic pill’?

I’m already following BBB’s noop recommendations with noticeable success (in regards to learning/memory), but I’ve always been a big time procrastinator. I have a very hard time getting motivated to do things work related. I usually just wait until the last minute, but obviously that affects the quality of my work. Building better habits aside (which I promise I’m working on), is there anything out there that could help me along? Caffeine just makes me antsy. Adderall has a similar effect, but much stronger. No good! I currently use sulbutiamine, but I haven’t noticed much of anything, other than a temporary cold-like feeling if I dose it too high.

Modafinil is the recommendation I come across most often. Then there is Selegiline (which would be much easier for me to obtain). Some have mentioned galantamine, but I’ve taken 8mg a couple times in the past and never noticed anything as far as increased motivation.

As always, I appreciate an insights you fine folks might have. Basically I’ve come to the realization that I have very respectable cognitive abilities (always scored in the 98th or 99th percentile on the pesky standardized test they gave us throughout middle school and high school), but my potential isn’t being met because I’m so damn lazy! I’m working on building better habits, and even reading some self-help books, but some additional ‘help’ would be great.

Apologies for the long post. Big kudos to anyone who read it.

BBB,
Centrophenoxine, you wrote take 3000mg for 21 days. I was wondering how the dosing would work each day, like 1x 3000mg, 2x 1500mg, 3x 1000mg, etc., etc.
How did you dose it?
Thanks.

Cool BBB.
As usual, thank you for your insight.

BBB, I need your email. Thanks!

I know it was mentioned previously but just to clarify - Is "Neurostim " a quality product? Is it on par with building your own stack or would one be better off to put it together by themselves?

Facts - Aniracetam - 420mg
- DMAE - 300mg
- Vinpocetine- 15mg

Anybody foresee problems getting this into Canada? I know that we can’t get DMAE as a standalone…

I would email the company and ask them.

If it contains those ingredients you’ve listed then yes, it’s a quality product.

And it works very well on me, so I can only conclude that it is equal or superior to (because of convenience) going the the hassle of making your own caps.

I suggest you contact the vendor and see what he recommends you do about shipping into Canada.
