Biohacker Review: Wakes your ass up!

1-2-Go is my favorite morning stack right now...

This is one of the most efficacious and popular stacks amongst biohackers: Caffeine and L-Theanine.
Caffeine provides the motivation
L-Theanine provides the inspiration
Theobromine which is supposed to be a vigilance agent

Liftmode's COA-verified powdered 5-HTP, Liftmode is one of the good guy vendors that are generally pretty trusted by Biohackers.

Biohacker Review: Kinda like Modafinil minus the sweats but really not worth trying...

I tried Adrafinil for the first time yesterday, I did about 300 milligrams first thing in the morning, and found it pretty consistent with my experiences with Modafinil. It put me deep into the focus zone for about six hours (a little shorter than Modafinil). For the next three consecutive days, I did the same dosage of Adrafinil and I feel I've run into its tolerance curve; on the afternoon of the third day I actually grew tired after lunch, did a second dose of about 200 milligrams (eyeballing it). So it’s not an everyday smart drug...

Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an amino acid found in high concentration in the human brain; nerve; heart; liver and sperm cells.

Acetyl L-Carnitine supports energy production via the metabolism of fatty acids to yield the universal energy molecule ATP. As an antioxidant; Acetyl-L-Carnitine helps to protect neurons from damage caused by superoxide radicals.

Uridine is a nucleotide that acts as a precursor of brain synapses and membrane phospholipids in conjunction with the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and choline sources.

It may enhance some brain cholinergic functions. Uridine also supports the health and function of liver mitochondria.

Save money on one of the most popular nootropic combinations with this combo pack! You'll receive one bottle of Alpha GPC and Uridine Monophosphate.

Alpha GPC and Uridine both work to increase levels of the essential neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and synergize well to boost memory and overall cognitive function.

Recommended Dosage
Alpha GPC:Take 1-2 300mg capsules in the morning, and again in the afternoon if needed.

Uridine: Take 1-2 300 mg per day to support cholinergic brain function and formation of synaptic connections, repeat in the afternoon if needed.

Biohacker Review: I'm Ampakined UP!

Aniracetam is an Ampakinic smart drug that DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) has actually experimented with. So perhaps they are feeding it to the aliens at Area 51, or maybe it's what they give to the (very bored) government employees who spy on us through our webcams and smart TVs.

Conspiracy theorizing aside, Aniracetam is good for my memory, but it's not my favorite Racetam. I have noticeably less discipline, energy, and focus than while dosed on it compared with other Racetams I've done biohacker trials with. It's not very energizing, so if you are trying to avoid stimulants, Aniracetam may be a good option for you. For me, I like smart drugs that put me into this intensely focused zone, so I usually stack it with Piracetam or caffeine and L-theanine stack (like 1-2 GO from Pure Nootropics)

Biohacker Review: A clumpy focus drug for nerds

Aniracetam modulates the Ampakine receptor in the brain and interestingly, Ampakinic drugs have actually been investigated by Darpa. Which is the shadowy military research organization that there are all kinds of crazy (and not so crazy) conspiracy theories about. So if the US government wants to hire me to broker an interstellar peace arrangement with aliens or travel back in time to save JFK you can find my resume on LinkedIn.

The packet it comes in is pretty small but the dosage needed for effect is a lot lower than Piracetam. A dosage of 1500-2000 milligrams puts me into a very focused state for 3-6 hours.

Biohacker Review: "Pharmaceutical Grade" Bacopa

I put Pharmaceutical Grade in quotation marks because there's not really such a thing as pharmaceutical-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 my meta-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)

CDP Choline is also known as Citicoline.

CDP Choline, an abbreviation of cytidine-5′-diphosphocholine, referred to as Citicoline, is an essential nutrient and precursor for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It is an efficient source of choline that supports overall brain health, memory function, and mental energy.
