There’s no doubt about it: PRL-853, the cholinergic research chemical, is quite powerful. It’s often used to improve working memory, and tends to have staggeringly great results in people. Weird things happen when you take PRL-853, like people being able to remember 10 or more digits in their heads at one time, and otherwise having […]

Alright! In this podcast, we break down some of the clinical application of the major racetams. Typically, we think of Racetams as performance enhancing, and don’t usually discuss them out of the context of making our brains work better NOW. And one of the best guides on the internet on the performance use of Racetams […]

Nootropics are awesome, but sometimes I think meditation and binaural beats are better. What are binaural beats? Simple: particular sound frequencies that elicit particular responses in the human brain. The idea is: Two different frequencies enter the brain, via audio binaural beats (listened to through headphones, preferably). The brain then resonates to the difference between […]

Chronic fatigue syndrome is no joke. In fact, the name doesn’t even remotely do it justice. It should be called something like: “persistent disabling energy failure,” or “chronic debilitating disabling fatigue.” Often times, when dealing with people afflicted with Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), folks often say “I’m fatigued too sometimes.” No. It is not the […]

Tranquility nootropics are a particularly useful class of nootropic compounds, that tone down the nervous system. The primarily discussed ones are: Ashwagandha Valerian Root L-Theanine Hops Lemon Balm Phenibut St John’s Wort Tulsi Holy Basil There are more, but those are the most popular. Some of the best uses for Tranquility nootropics are: Sleep induction. […]

In this podcast, we’re going to break down oscillation dosing with nootropics, and particularly, Oxiracetam. Oscillation dosing refers to a dose strategy where you start a cycle of taking nootropics, taking the regular dose, but then moving down to lower doses throughout a 7 day period, to facilitate sustainability and to avoid side effects from […]

Will power. It’s a critically important part of success. In anything. To some degree, you’ll have to rely on parameters you set for yourself purposely: only buy 2 snickers bars. Not 5. Then, you’ll only be able to eat 2, period. But will power will still play a major role in your decision making. In […]

L-Theanine has some serious anxiety crushing power. It’s one of the best calming nootropics on the roster. In the nootropics book, Smarter Better Faster, it breaks down just how powerful L-Theanine is for balancing out other stimulatory nootropic compounds. It’s known as the “great balancer.” It stacks extremely well with Racetams, Noopept, Theacrine, and potent […]

Aniracetam is quite the impressive nootropic compound. I’ve used it on and off for years, and it never ceases to amaze me. A few important facts about Aniracetam: It primarily works by releasing extra acetylcholine in the hippocampus, and stimulating AMPA receptors. It (anecdotally) primarily induces: working memory increases, speed of processing improvements, and slight […]

The perfect nootropic stack. Does it exist? Well – there are stacks you can take, like the TAU Limitless stack from Smarter Better Faster, that mimic the “Limitless drug” effect. And that particular stack, and the general nootropics methodology used to create it, IS how you formulate the perfect nootropic stack. Over the years, taking […]

Ray Kurzweil is a well known futurist, who knows has a senior engineering position at Google, and reportedly takes 100-200 supplements per day, so that he can survive until what he calls the “singularity” happens. In short – the singularity refers to a time where humans will upload their brains into machines, and our consciousnesses […]

Ok – so some folks were upset a bit because they weren’t getting notified that specials were happening, and that we haven’t run specials for LONG ENOUGH each time. So – we’re now putting specials in podcasts! Right now, and below, our nootropics guides, and powerful Nootropic stack CORTEX is 20% off. Prices are already […]

There are three primary reasons people take nootropics: To optimize brain performance now To optimize brain performance over the long term To alleviate brain performance deficits from something interfering with it. And the second reason, seems to get a lot less attention these days. It’s as if optimizing the brain for the long term, isn’t […]

PODCAST BREAKDOWN  INTRO – product pro (get all of our nootropic products here). Preface: some people take nootropics just to function normally again. People with traumatic brain injury benefit massively from nootropics. People with pharmaceutical drug induced memory dysfunction benefit massively from nootropics. A Uridine centric stack, like Cortex, is extremely useful for repairing damage […]

In this podcast we’ll dive deep into the biologically available precursors to acetylcholine. We’ll discuss mainly CDP Choline and Alpha GPC, and make the point that the nootropics community, and the collective nootropics social web, advises way high doses on both of them. Primary points of the podcast: A nootropics subreddit post prompted this discussion, […]
