Brain Function Boosters

Salmon Oil

         Whew!!!

Wow…I am going to take a decent break now. I’ve been at it for 6 and a half hours straight. Only taking a total of probably 35 minutes away from the computer. And you know what? I am fatigued a slight bit mentally and physically. Bit of tight lower back, knees…but overall, splendidly happy and amused. lol…I was cracking up here at the end, just because it’s amazing. Just laughing to myself at this feeling of prowess, of calm, collected, thinking and the actual workload feeling like a walk in the park…

       It definitely "feels" better when you are busy and sticking to something, like Schwarz alluded to when he mentioned "multitasking" or being productive while on it. Because a couple of times when I was in between being productive over the last two days, I noticed being able to slightly "feel" over revved. But even then it was only very, very slightly noticeable.

    I am about 2/3 done with what I'm doing and plan on finishing it tonight, and will then study the paper while sitting on the sofa or whatever instead of bangin away on this thing. Got about 11 pages loaded with material and there's more to come. 
        

        Yup, some serious shit here mang.

                  peace out.

Stay away from high GI foods and especially High GI carbs.

Don’t get vaccines either.

Hi guys, This thread has really grown with alot of info. I need to simplify a bit from what I have been reading here. I may have to take a class or two for a new job and I am taking the Vinpo and want one other. I think I want to try either the oxi or the ani- racetam (moda to expensive). Which would be the better?(money and side effect wise).
Thanks for any help.

         Hey wait around a bit more, bushy's still experimenting w/the anirace, and the oxi will do in the meantime. I just got done blazing through a massive clean up here. LOL, things had gotten a bit messy with all the attention to this study guide I'm working on. Approx 250mg this morning of M, and 10mg V, one cup of the ol java brew.

         Literally just screamed through this overhaul on the house. Hahahaaaaa. Now to finish up this review guide. I know I've been on a posting frenzy, but I do that only to get the best, and most accurate feedback for everyone to observe. I admit it gets a bit old after a while though. Anyhow, hope we're all having a great weekend so far! I'm doing great over here.

              best to all,

I thought this study was entertaining. There are actually a lot of very similar studies using “caffeinated tuarine drinks” that show the same results.


The effects of red bull energy drink on human performance and mood.

Alford C, Cox H, Wescott R.

Psychology Department, University of the West of England, Bristol, United Kingdom.

The effects of Red Bull Energy Drink, which includes taurine, glucuronolactone, and caffeine amongst the ingredients, were examined over 3 studies in a total of 36 volunteers. Assessments included psychomotor performance (reaction time, concentration, memory), subjective alertness and physical endurance. When compared with control drinks, Red Bull Energy Drink significantly (P < 0.05) improved aerobic endurance (maintaining 65-75% max. heart rate) and anaerobic performance (maintaining max. speed) on cycle ergometers. Significant improvements in mental performance included choice reaction time, concentration (number cancellation) and memory (immediate recall), which reflected increased subjective alertness. These consistent and wide ranging improvements in performance are interpreted as reflecting the effects of the combination of ingredients.

I didn’t see this posted yet. It’s the Wikipedia nootropics article. it’s essentially a HUGE list of categorized mental boosters. It makes the list we’ve made here look quite small. I’m sure they aren’t all too great, but there are certainly many drugs to experiment with.

Here’s the Erowid vault for smart drugs. It’s got general chemistry about the drugs and a list of user experiences.

I really like the oxi. I’ve always worked well with stims, so the effects I get from it are particularly exciting for me. I feel like I did when I first started drinking coffee, getting that happy buzz that allows too pay attention to anything. It also felt like I was able to maintain focus and really absorb the material I was reading. I

've probably got about 10 studies worth of information from pubmed in my brain right now due to the oxi (probably not what I should have been studying, but I was able to get some cool info nonetheless). I just started taking the vinpo yesterday, so I’m not expecting anything big for a while. How long would you say it takes for the vinpo to really start “working”? I’m not really expecting to feel anything from it, I’m just kind of curious.

Thanks for the info. With the oxiracetam, do you take that before a class or can I take it in the morning with my vinpo.
Bushy, since I am in the forties, I will look into that centrophenoxine (and when do you take that as well).
Thanks.
P.S. As I am looking for the Oxi I notice that I can only get 800mg pills, is it possible to find something like 400 or 500mg pills withouy ordering the tub size?

Has anyone guinea pigged the Adrafinil? I’m curious as to how it compares to the Moda and what additional side effects it has.

Adrafinil has a lower half life I believe. Doesn’t really matter, but it might make it less economical. It is also more liver toxic.

A lot of the people here, and myself as well, have found that taking the oxi is followed by a subsequent crash about an hour or two later, so it’d probably be best to take it before class. You also might wanna try Bushy’s idea; he mixes it with a drink and sips it throughout the day. I’ve tried it once and didn’t receive the stim I get from taking it all at once, but I also didn’t crash later on, which was nice.

bulknutrition has powdered oxi, if you were interested in that form.

Yes I’ve been guinea pigging the Adrafinil. I’ll write more details later.

I haven’t read the whole thread, but have we all agreed on a noortropic that has definite good effects for everyone?

i believe that would be the VINPOCETINE.

I cant really comment just yet as mine is in transit at the moment. Im combining it with aniracetam (also in transit).

Looking forward to the stack.

I have resorted to clandestine measures in order to try and get my hands on Modafinil.It is a highly regulated drug over here in Oz.

Fingers crossed!!!

How about Snake Oil?

lol

Man this thread’s been going strong…

I went for a run this morning and found that I was curiously carefree and felt absolutely no stress whatsoever. I’m not sure if it is just coincidence, which is why I’m asking: has anyone noticed a mood enhancement when taking the vinpo? I’m also taking a few other things ( ephedrine, caffeine, oxi, multivit), so I’m not sure if those would calculate in or not.
