Adaptogenic Herbs

Book Review: I'm Adaptogenic!

The definitive guide to adaptogenic herbs, formerly known as “tonics,” that counter the effects of age and stress on the body.

Another historical Nootropic and a member of the Adaptogen family of natural performance enhancers that empower Biohackers to live vigorously.

Organic Ashwagandha, as a Nootropic, helps with anxiety, insomnia, and aging signs and as an adaptogen to manage stress.

Biohacker Review: An Herbal Alternative to Melatonin

Ashwagandha is the anxiolytic Adaptogen, all of the Adaptogens make your body better at handling stress but Ashwagandha is probably the best. If you have a problem with stress or anxiety Ashwagandha is for you! I've been using this Ashwagandha from Organic India for about 2 months now. This is a review of my subjective experiences with Ashwagandha...

Biohacker Review: Tinctured Ashwagandha for Tranquility

This is an alcohol tincture infused with the active components of Ashwagandha. A dropperful, which is a squeeze of the dropper, produces a relaxed but not necessarily drowsy headspace.

Ben Greenfield writes about it Boundless...

This plant is particularly helpful for cleaning out the skin-associated lymphatic tissue, as well as supporting the lymphatic system as a whole. It also helps calm an overreactive immune system, since a congested or toxin-laden lymphatic system can cause hypersensitivity and overstimulate the sympathetic nervous system.

The pharmaceutical company T.A. Sciences has begun to produce an astragalus extract that has been reported to have telomere-lengthening benefits. Their product—quite popular and hotly debated in antiaging circles—is called TA-65. The primary constituent of TA-65 is cycloastragenol, a purified extract of astragalus root. Because TA-65 is so expensive and possibly too weak, it may be simpler to use astragalus itself in high doses

Downloadable Astragalus?

You may be interested in taking it as an infoceutical - a non-pharmacological, side-effect-free version of the supplement that takes advantage of the phenomenon of water memory - which is imprinted on water via quantum collocation and electromagnetism using this device...

IC Pad by Infopathy

 

4.3

Category: Mind Hardware

Infocueticals typically have 1/3 or half the effect of the actual medicine being imprinted. If you're skeptical of Infopathy that's understandable, it's a game-changing application of a little-known scientific phenomenon. But I'd urge you to evaluate the scientific evidence (presented in my biohacker review) that downloadable medicine is no longer science fiction...

Biohacker Review: 6-Year Red Korean Ginseng is the ethical hedonist's adaptogen...

One thing I like about this Ginseng is that it dissolves in about 10 minutes in scalding water to make a nice Ginseng tea. I've used some other Ginseng tablets that don't seem to dissolve so well. Like other Adaptogens I've used, the subjective effects are more noticeable when I consume them as tea. If you follow my recommendations and pick up a bunch of different adaptogens what you could easily do is combine like four or five of them - it will be delicious and will make you feel like a Greek god consuming ambrosia on Elysium.

Bacopa is another historical Adaptogenic herb; it has been used in India as a form of Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years.

Bacopa owes its Nootropic effect to boosting serotonin levels. You need to make a long-term commitment to it for true cognitive enhancement.

Biohacker Review: "Pharmaceutical Grade" Bacopa

I put Pharmaceutical Grade in quotation marks because there's notreallysuch a thing aspharmaceutical-grade herbs and Adaptogens, but I use the phrase because it's known to mean of the highest quality and purity. This is super important with Bacopa in particular. You'll want to read or listen to mymeta-analysis of Bacopa before purchasing or consuming this.

Bacopa monnieri, also known as water hyssop, is an herb commonly used in Ayurveda.

Studies have shown that supplementing Bacopa can have a beneficial effect on cognition, both by improving memory formation and by reducing anxiety.

Bacopa affects both the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems but works mainly by enhancing the rate at which neurons communicate by increasing the growth of dendrites (nerve endings), thus facilitating communication between brain cells.

Our Bacopa extract is standardized to 20% bacosides (the active ingredient in the Bacopa herb)

This natural Nutraceutical Nootropic from Brazil is dope!

This traditional medicinal Nutraceutical, also called Trichilia Catigua, is native to the rainforests of Northern Brazil where it's been used since time immemorial as a natural herbal libido enhancer. It's pronounced properly with a bit of South American flourish, Cat-ooh-ahh-bah.It's a full-spectrum Dopaminergic Nootropic that's especially enhancing when stacked with the cofactor Muira Puama.

A forest-dwelling elixir of health long renowned by Siberian shamans, now demanded by elite Herbal Biohackers.

Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus), also known as KING OF MUSHROOMS, is a curative fungus most commonly found on birch trees. Chaga powder may be one of the best supplements for enhancing immune function.

Biohacker Review: An Invigorating Military-Grade Mushroom

This adaptogenic mushroom has a very cool name, doesn't it?

As a Nootropic, its effect is pretty subtle, I didn't note much of an uptick in cognition, but it does make you more energetic. I used it before the gym several times, resulting in some kickass workouts, but my go-to pre-workout supplements will remain HMB and Creatine. Over the past few weekends, my project has been cleaning out a very messy old attic of a bunch of dusty junk and furniture so I can transform it into my doomsday prepping storehouse. Cordyceps gave me a bit of extra physical energy to spend hours carrying stuff down five flights of stairs to the dumpster.

100% ORGANIC CORDYCEPS MILITARIS MUSHROOM CAPSULES

My friend Dinnin Freeman reported

It should be noted that you need to be careful with which Cordyceps supplement that you take. Many brands use the mycelium and grain the fruiting bodies are grown on, and as such generally cheaper products are of notably inferior quality, sometimes to the point of being entirely ineffective. Though recently you can get good Cordyceps reasonably priced. I have personally been taking Cordyceps-M Peak Performance by Real Mushrooms. To be clear they haven’t sponsored me and are as of yet, unaffiliated with my work. I recommend their product as it is 3rd party lab-verified for quality and doesn't use any grain starch or mycelium. It’s scientifically verified for active compounds, and my personal experience with them has always been very positive.

What is Eleuthero Root?

Eleuthero Root is a shrub that grows in Siberia, China, Korea and Japan. The dried root and other underground parts are used for many health benefits. Eleuthero Root was formerly known as Siberian Ginseng since it resembles Panax Ginseng but does not belong to the same type of herb family.

Eleutherococcus Senticosus is another historical Nootropic known for "invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, tonifying kidney to relieve mental strain" in traditional Chinese medicine.

It's a classic adaptogen, that modulates our hormones and many subtleties of how our biology responds to internal and external stressors. Commonly just referred to as Eleuthero.

Another Eastern historical Nootropic, best used in combination with Bacopa. It's a medium-term Biohack that after a few weeks of dosing enhances cognition, attention, and memory along with an anti-anxiety effect that imbues a modicum of spiritual enlightenment.

The ancient herb of enlightenment...

Biohacker Review: I RIGHTEOUSLY bang my wife on THIS stuff!

I've used Horny Goat Weed as a sex hack for years now, I've tried several libido-enhancing herbs and supplements and Horny Goat Weed is the best.

I have the best sex of my life on this stuff. It's a sensation enhancer, it makes you hornier and it improves your erections. You might be concerned that you'll orgasm after like 3 minutes if you take something that makes you hornier and more sensitive. Still, in combination with tantric techniques and doing kegels, I'm able to maintain control and stave off orgasm long enough to bring Mrs. Roseland to orgasm consistently.

A Nootropic mushroom for risk-averse Biohackers with a wide range of cognition-enhancing effects.

Hericium Erinaceus, or the Lion’s Mane mushroom, is a unique member of the mushroom family that shows nootropic properties. The mushroom gets its name from its appearance when it reaches maturity, which looks like a Lion's Mane. This article aims to take a closer look at the Lion’s Mane mushroom. This includes what it might help with and what the science behind it says. It will also take a look at what users have to say about Lion’s Mane.

Biohacker Review: A Neurogenesis Unleashing Nootropic Mushroom

I used Lost Empire Herb's 8:1 Dual Extract Lion's Mane for about a month. It adds a pleasant earthy taste to my morning cup of steaming coffee.

• It has a subtle Nootropic effect, although as far as Adaptogens go I find Chaga or Rhodiola more stimulating. After taking it I found myself in a productive, focused headspace.
• I'm thankful to have Lion's Mane in my war chest of immuno-fortifying natural herbs, taking it I managed to avoid getting the sniffles during the cold, dry Eastern European winter here in Bulgaria.
• I can't speak much to its Neurogenesis effects, I suspect I'd have to take it for longer for these effects to become apparent.
