Pycnogenol for studying?

[Jahcuree]

AnabolicMinds.com Forum - Pycnogenol Improves Brain Function

Anyone used this for studying purposes? It sounds pretty damn promising from this article. I am looking for something to possibly aid in my girlfriends nursing school studying, who also has a little anxiety at times so the dec. anxiety by 17% was also key.

Any info on this stuff?

Very interesting, maybe the next piracetam...

Ive tried it...didnt feel anything from it from a single dose. I think its more of a chronic treatment than an acute thing. There is a good study on its use for ADHD

SAMe with some low-medium dose craze would work a lot better.

Right, the study in the article i posted was an 8 week long study. Ive also read it was recommended to use a high dose the first week and then drop down to a consistent dose for full saturation. Id like to find someone who has used this for a few weeks straight and what/ if they experienced anything.

Ill have to look into this SAMe. any clinical studies on it?

Yeah, that consistent dosing protocol is the one they recommend for the racetams as well. You don't get so much of a buzz off of them, very subtle. Some of the best compounds a person can take, IMO.

I ran two bottles of high quality Pycnogenol and found nothing notable. A good quality product is expensive also.

Nah, I love piracetam though. I'd definately be interested in a compound like this with a similar profile of effects but a different MOA.

What do you feel/see when using piracetam?

Nootropics are VERY user specific. Some guys rave about them, some rant about them. Theyve never done much of anything for me

Agreed. Piracetam has had some profound benefits for me, but I've heard plenty of people call it worthless. I did end up getting a fake shipment from CTD labs once though, what brand did you use?

Cool, thanks for the info
