Aniracetam by a mile with phenyl coming behind. Paired with alpha GPC.

yep. Focus xt is my go to... Haven't messed with any of the "harder" ones. some others not on the list are antaeus modular products. They have a few nootropics that are not really talked about- see below- it's the modular series ones. http://www.strongsupplementshop.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Antaeus+

Favorite things for me to add to Focus XT were ALCAR and ephedrine. Both because really cheap, especially ALCAR, and also because of the pronounced benefits. I have other random things, but those were my top 2.

what does ephedrine do? outside of its fat loss and appetite suppressing

Focus XT is my go to blend or nootropics. No need to add anything to it. ALCAR + Huperzine-A is also a good, cheap effective stack. Both are available from SNS as well.

I don't know the science behind it, but ephedrine always makes me really focused. If I pop a Bronkaid with with a caffeine tab (or a scoop of FXT) then I'm usually good to go for a few hours

I've been using Razor's Edge, pretty good blend IMO.

My favourite combo is still probably noopept + alpha-GPC + a little caffeine, sometimes toss in some adrafinil.

Anteus labs has some nice noots you can pair with FXT.

I have used razors edge. I also have stacked it with GPC. Stuff works but after a day or so your body does get quite tolerant to the nootropics. I had to bump the dosing to acieve the same results after a few days using it.

Phenylpiracetam builds tolerance very fast. I can't even take it for more than 2 days in a row.

That's because it's the phenylpiracetam, LoL. The quick kick you get from it comes from the phenylpiracetam which you can get tolerant to pretty quickly. The adrafinil helps a bit but has a different feel from phenylpiracetam.

I'm new to noots. All I've had are choline, a bit of ALCAR mixed in another supp, and whatever noot that's in the OG Hemovol.

Are there any Noots out there that give the mental alertness that I feel after pounding a 16oz energy drink (like Sobe NoFear or a Monster).


I'm interested in alertness and fast reaction time above all else, and not so much for enhanced memory.

Thanks!

Appreciate the reply. I'll dig into some research on those tomorrow.

I presume the modafinil can't be legally purchased other than as an RC possibly as its a script med yes?

Modafinil may be illegal in your country but there is a better alternative called CRL 40 940 that you can buy online

Phenylpiracetam, no question. Tolerance is built very fast, so this would be for the times that you need the alertness and reaction time and can be taken as needed, there is no build up.

Who is the go-to supplier for quality noots? SNS? Besides SNS I'm not aware of who else is respected as far as Noots & quality goes.

Appreciate the help.

For noots like phenyl and ani will I need to add regular old Choline, or would Alpha-GPC suffice?

Any choline will work, and you don't need it for phenyl.
This.

I prefer Alpha GPC when using a solo choline source.

Its on my list to try. Just getting into noots and attempting to see what I respond best to.

Right now I'm working through ALCAR, Alpha-GPC, Aniracetam, Phenyl, and Canibal DaVinci (tried 1 serving and liked it)...also have focus XT both stim and non stim on the way.

I just bought some huperzine and phenylpiracetam. Does phenylpiracetam stack well with other things like tyrosine?

What is huperzine like? I ordered the huperzine first and then ordered phenylpiracetam because it seemed like I would like it more.

I use Alpha-GPC or CDP-choline for my choline source.

I never liked piracetam. It always made me feel very dull and anti-social. I could sit and read or be in my own mind, but it slowed me down to point where I felt dumb.

Phenylpiracetam is a different beast. It comes on in about 45 min and you feel a warmth and body temp increase, followed by a strong energy and very clear mind. When I rec dose in the 150-200mg range, it makes things very vivid. Sounds are crisper, I am hyper aware of everything visually (almost like Limitless) and colors pop. Wonderful for outdoor activities. It lasts about 5-7 hours for me.

The main downfall is that the tolerance comes so fast. I can only take it about 2x a week to keep the effects, so I use it for recreation purposes now.

I don't take choline with phenyl and do not feel it is necessary based on my experiences. I do need it with aniracetam or I get splitting headaches. You can certainly stack it, but I don't know if it is going to serve your purpose because while it is uplifting, it sounds like you might just be down. A few months of grieving for your dog tells me that you probably went through a normal cycle of grief, but then it is lingering longer than it should. I'd force myself to get out and about and possibly look at something like St Johns Wort.

I tried St. John's wart before. It worked but it made me not care about anything and that's happened with most things I've tried, that were natural. I'm not leaning towards things like that but thanks. I have ptsd from him dying because of the way it happened. I'm looking for more of something for motivation, that's my problem right now.

Huperzine a is a superb ingredient. Take at least 2 days off a week though otherwise you can have some pretty not okay side effects like mental fog and even become emotionally unstable.

To add to the mix...huperzine a also increases gh.
