Greetings folks, I created this thread so that we can share effective supplements and nootropics that have a significant impact on cognitive function and significantly improve quality of life. Today I bought Hericium Erinaceus mycelium (Lion's Mane) , Omega-3, and Brain Health from California Gold Nutrition with Alpha-GPC. I think this combination should significantly increase my mental stamina and improve my concentration lvl as well. I'm new to this topic, and I'd like to ask those with more knowledge just how effective nootropics can be and which ones I might consider using in my daily life? And also, is that worth it? Some people might point to healthy sleep and sport, but we’re already well aware of that, so there’s no point in mentioning those factors here. My goal is to improve my cognitive function and find out how effective nootropics can be, i might use yours experience and opinion
 
The supplement that is one of the most important is creatine monohydrate. This is even more important for women which most women will not expect. People think that this is about muscles, and it does help with muscles. But it also helps your brain.

The energy in all of our cells is adenosine triphosphate ATP. When this energy is used by the cell and used up, one piece of phosphorus comes off of the ATP. This ATP is not able to be used again until the phosphorus is put back onto it. What Creatine Monohydrate does is it goes into the cells, and it is a source of phosphorus that helps to quickly put the phosphorus back onto the ATP so they can be used again to deliver more energy to the cell. This is very helpful for all of our muscles. But something like 20% of all of the energy used in our bodies is used by our brains. The brain also needs this ATP energy and it is also helped by creatine. Some studies show that creatine supplement can fix some of the problems caused by lack of sleep and help the brain to be energized like they did get a full amount of sleep. Almost Everybody has a serious creatine deficiency.

Another good one is L-Theanine which has some good effects on our brain and our mood. And Magnesium L-Threonate is the form of magnesium which is most easily used and absorbed in our brains. Magnesium glycinate is good for our muscles, magnesium citrate is good for our intestines, and magnesium l-threonate is good for our brains. This is not to say that any of these forms will be useless or not absorbed at all by these different locations in the body, but it is where they are easily absorbed and used.

Thanks for the answer! i gonna buy some L-Threonate and creatine monohydrate when i gonna grab some cash
 
People have different ideas about what is a good amount of creatine, and of course depending on the size of your body and muscles. Some people recommend very large amounts to build up the storage within the body and remove the deficiency quickly. I think a smaller amount for a longer number of days will be more comfortable with less uncomfortable effects. It will take some weeks for this deficiency to be removed and to start feeling the effects strongly. It will also be much more easily stored within the muscles, so it will take more time before it starts being stored in the brain.


Don't trust me. Learn about this from doctors and medical studies. I won't recommend any specific amount. Make sure it is a high quality and pure creatine from a good source. Almost all of the "creatine gummies" on places like amazon are fake and do not contain any creatine or barely any.
 
I take 5 grams of creatine monohydrate every day aftter the past 1.5 year ı can say that this is the best supplement ı have ever taken/used

I count on these four together: Mucuna pruriens, rhodiola, kratom, and low dose caffeine (you can take a fraction of a spoonful of instant coffee in 12-16 oz. of water for the caffeine).

Mucuna pruriens, aka cowitch plant, naturally contains dopamine. Yes, a plant can produce dopamine. You can buy versions online that also contain an extra up to 100mg of added dopamine. This is generally safe, it's a low dose; do not confuse with dopamine administered to Parkinson's patients which goes up to and beyond 1,000mg.Benefits: This helps with dopamine depletion, helps you get back on your feet especially after long stressful periods, or bouts with drug addiction. Use on a short term basis to replace depleted dopamine levels.

Rhodiola: Rhodiola belongs in the same family of plants as coffee, and can help with stamina and exhaustion. The best ones to use are the powder that comes in a bag. The pills generally are not potent enough.

Kratom: ⚠️Warning: this one can be addictive. Use with caution and due your due diligence, since many out there are either not potent enough or allegedly contain other harmful ingredients. This one is also in the same family as the coffee plant and is available generally only at smoke shops. I've found it an enormous help with alcoholism. There are three main strains, each of which subtly differ in their effects. Best to taper off of it rather than quit quickly, as it can cause very mild withdrawal.

Keto coffee
This is one of my favorites. Health and wellness "guru" Dave Asprey talks about this all the time, and he puts out a coconut-based keto oil. Or you can use liquid coconut oil, which is cheaper. If you use the coconut oil, go easy; it can cause stomach upset and diarrhea if you start too fast: put initially about 1/4 tsp. of it in your coffee and you need to shake vigorously. Increase the coconut oil Benefits: Unbelievable energy, especially on an empty stomach or when fasting. I am not a big breakfast fan, I will just have one of these in the morning.
