2026 Nootropics Investment Experiment (+400€)

[Davino]

This year one of my objectives is to experiment heavily with Nootropics and see if they work and which ones work best. So final decisions will be made at the end of this year, now I'm just testing things out. 

I've always had lots of problems swallowing pills, but I just saw how that could be very problematic, negatively impacting my life and I'm so glad in the last month I've been able to swallow that pill!

Okay so straight to the point, first I'll list the substances I've been taking for about 10 days.

Basic ones:

• Complete multivitamin and mineral 
• Omega-3 
• Creatine
• Turmeric+Probiotics 

Nootropics:

• NAC (800mg)
• Rhodiola Rosea
• Uridine
• NAD
• Phosphatidylserine
• Lion's Mane (+Reishi) (+Cordyceps)
• Brain Complex pill (Bacopa Monnieri, Ginkgo Biloba, Coline, Ginseng, L-Tyrosine)
• Brain focus pill (Taurina, L-tirosina, L-theanine, 200 mg of caffeine)
• Huperzine A
• Pyrazolam 
• Armodafinil

To wine down:

• Magnesium Bisglycinate
• L-Tryptophan
• Valerian
• GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)
• Triphala 

Blueprint I'm following (although I always listen to my body and consciousness, adjusting it to every day):

Initial conclusion:

Absolutely amazing. I wanted to try substances that would give me a permanent/stable change in the way my mind works. This combo has proven to work very nicely. I work a lot during the week and need to stay at my best even when I can't get as much sleep as I'd like to. These substances allow me to do that and moreover raise to levels of intelligence and physical performance I would have never imagined possible.

I'll explain in later posts on this thread more in detail how each one has worked for me or even not much. As well as dangerous interactions between these supplements to consider. Overall very happy, as I made such a strong investment but it's definitely paying off. My intuitions were right that to tap into higher cognitive developmental stages, nootropics would be instrumental, in the same way psychedelics are for higher Awakenings.
