I know I need to quit smoking, but it aint easy lol, Im really trying but its hard. Would chewing nicotine tablets reduce the free radicals compared to smoking untill I become nicotine free?
I got my brother to quit smoking. All it took was a $500 bet. Except he doesn’t get $500 for quitting, he can only lose it.

I would say yes to that…it would be the lesser of two evils…cigarette smoke contains a thousand chemicals, none of which are good for you.
So I’m only 28 pages into the first thread, so this might’ve been covered already, but fuck it, I’m asking anyways.
I’m attending a ridiculously fast paced electrical and nuclear engineering program, and I need help staying on top. Basically, I’m cramming a shit-ton of electrical and nuclear related material every day, and it’s getting tough to memorize all the material we receive every day.
Right now, I’m taking:
Aniracetam 750mg 2x a day on class days
Oxiracetam 750mg during intense study sessions
Choline citrate 2-3g/day
Creatine 5g/day
On the way, I have vinpocetine and huperzine. I’ve already got piracetam in hand. I’m wondering what order I should add these in to get a good feel for each of them? I’m not sure when the vinpo and huper will get here, they were out of stock when I ordered.
Also, oddly, the oxiracetam doesn’t make me sleepy. I also don’t get the same ridiculous retention rates some of you are reporting, but I’m pretty sure it’s a legit company (SP) so I’m wondering if there are just people that don’t respond. I take it with the ani in a drink, the way it’s recommended in the first thread.
Things should start working better when you take the vinpocetine with the racetams. Sort of like turning a 2 lane highway into a 4 lane(ie more traffic, which burns more gas(ACh)).
I like Brain from Dr Schulze’s

Doesn’t seem to uh…be awesome.
Small update
I’ve been taking the ani for a few weeks now, mostly 2 times a day 1/3 teaspoon but now I also received some capsules which are easier to take with me, although I regret not ordering oxi or prami instead.
I take the ani with choline or DMAE, and fishoil (I take this 3x day) I think its 1 capsule of 750 mg every dosage.
First impressions: my vision seems to have improved, I wear contacts and often they are a biatch, but I can see better now. My eyes seem less tired.
My mood seems to have improved and focus is a lot better still.
Only thing I havent really noticed is a huge improvement in memory.
Ive added vinpo (2x 10 mg) to the stack and have been taking it for over a week. Doesnt seem to do much, my memory is only slightly improved since started taking the racetams.
Brainfog is cleared up a little though and focus has improved for sure.
I still dont sleep enough and still smoke lol. Have to quit damnit.
OVerall I would rate these improvements a 7/10.
Anything I could add for short term memory/memorization?
Last exam today. Noops fucking rock.
If anyone cares: My peaking protocol before exams is 2x2 neurostims* the day before the exam and 2 with breakfast the next day. And 2 at lunch if it’s a bigass exam.
*1 pill is 15mg vinpo, 300mg DMAE and 420 mg aniracetam.

Add Vinpo first, it should become a staple of your stack. I only take Hup A with Oxi. The Oxi doesn’t make me sleepy, either (I get it from the same place you do). I still get the effect, I mean, it’s not like it learns the material FOR you, but recall does seem easier with it.
That said, nothing will ever replace time with nose in book and busting your ass to learn the material, noops just add an edge, and enough of one that I would never tell my classmates about them.
About a month ago I finished your 3g Centrophenoxine/day for 21 days protocol.
Definately noticed an increased awareness. I didn’t piss any different other than the usual neon from my B complex. I also drank a little bit more water than usual b/c I noticed that that much powder(6 caps x 500mg) at once left me with an upset stomach feeling, so I started drinking a good amount of water with it and the feeling went away.
In total it was 90g Centrophenoxine, I started at 500mg day one, 1000mg day two, 1500mg day three, until I reached 3000mg, so it was about 28 days @ 3g Centrophenoxine.
Any good recommendations for a supplement/drug that can uplift those days at work when you’re just “dragging yourself around”?
Perhaps a brand of certain ingredient? I live in Canada so I don’t even know whats acceptable here or not.
I’ll one-up you and do centro+Indigo-3G+CoQ10 for a while, as soon as my wrist is in order (for Indigo) and I have sorted out my flat situation (for centro, don’t want to waste it while I’m stressed and not fully focused on work). I’ll be pissing lipofuscin, pooping purple, seeing fresher colours and feeling anabolic all over

Nicotine patches or lozenges. It gets shit done.
Yohimbine is also nice (it’s in Spike).
I was going to say cocaine or meth but Ghost22’s suggestions are probably more reasonable.
Also, b vitamins(maybe one of those 5 hour energy shooters).
forbes, how are your sleeping and eating habits?
Hi everybody,
Im new to the forums and decided to join based mainly from these brain booster threads and the clear knowledge and intelligence you have all given. Im a student whose studying in the physiotherapy department rather than any neurophysiology etc so my knowledge is vastly inferior to the rest of you, so sorry if I ask any basic questions (despite already doing some background research on some brain supplements).
I need to push my ability to the top of my class because I messed up this year and performed way below par this year. I’m willing to spend anything which will give me that extra edge, so far i’ve only decided on buying Vinpocetine (3 x 10mg daily), are their any other supplements you would recommend for me to start with.
Thank you to everyone’s insightful contributions to the threads and happy living!

Well, if you’re taking Vinpo it seems to be a good idea to go for a Vinpo+DMAE+aniracetam stack. BBB discusses it at least a couple of times across these threads if you want an expert explanation as to what why and how I’m taking that exact stack and am very happy with it so far.
