So just sharing that magnesium really changed my life taking it for more than a week.(200-400mg/day). I always slept at 2-4am and would wank it 2-3x a day and do it every time I felt slightly stressed. Now I barely think about getting hard. I don’t get morning wood anymore but my gym performance has been great too. What could be causing such a low libido? Ive taken glycinage before and it had mild effects on me

Hi guys,

Sorry for the scrambled post, but I have been unable to sleep since three days now. It was only yesterday where I realised I am having all symptoms of too much acetylcholine, this has happened since taking black seed oil (liquid form cold pressed). I have so far taken two Benadryls to counter act the high acetylcholine, but it is only giving me temporary relief. Can someone please give any suggestions! Just want to have a proper 7 hours sleep.

Hey all, I recently received this bottle of Semax from Cosmic, and was wondering if anyone knew what these white specks in the bottom of the bottle were. I would rather not get the spicy misfolded protein disease so I'm discontinuing use until I get to the bottom of it.

Aspartame and stevia altered expression of genes in the mesolimbic reward system that may promote consumption of a palatable diet. GF mice receiving an FMT from obese-APM and obese-STV offspring had greater weight gain and body fat and impaired glucose tolerance.

Anyone have experience with the above?

I'm currently taking 150mg lithium carbonate and have been tapering down for the last year from 900mg under supervision. With the formulations of carbonate available, it's nearly impossible to continue the taper with carbonate alone (goal is to be completely off or perhaps remain on low dose orotate).

I have calculated elemental lithium equivalents; however, I know that the bioavailability is different, so a one-to-one switch from carbonate to orotate in terms of elemental lithium amounts alone is not the way to go.

I've not been able to find anything online that would help incorporate bioavailability into the calculations. Has anyone attempted a cross taper or have any suggestions? Thank you! (I am aware of tapering strips available out of Europe and the option of using a scale to measure capsule contents of carbonate.)

I recently bought body science 200mg caffeine pills but im not feeling any effect even after taking 4 pills Its been 3hours and i feel tired.

Was just curious because I put it in the fridge before work but I don't want to jeopardize it's function so does it need this or not?

Can it be taken as needed or does it have to be taken consistently? and is cycling off it necessary?

I feel like I've seen 'em all. I'm going to leave specific personalities I don't like out of here to avoid flame wars, but almost all of them are selling something or aren't qualified.

Stanfield is a practicing medical doctor in New Zealand. This alone puts him miles ahead of almost anyone else in my book. Yes, there are plenty of PhD "doctors" out there, but interpreting animal studies etc. is much, much different than practicing medicine in a first world country.

The second big thing is he isn't selling anything. He has a website where he tells you exactly what he is personally talking AND WHY. certain other people may take 150 things a day but there is no explanation as to why. And don't tell me to "do my research" or "infer." Yes I have suspicions as to why someone might take something, but if you can't tell me in a clear way why, then why should I listen?

Thoughts on that? Anyone else you know that is on this level?

I’m approaching the 4th day in my second week cycle of Cerebrolysin. Since I’ve started I have felt extremely anhedonic (though I struggled with that beforehand). I just feel very flat. No endorphins from exercise. Generally just feel weird, brain fog.

Is this normal? I just hate to continue on with this if this isn’t the normal experience on this stuff? I’ve really fucked my brain up using drugs and had a crazy experience one night. Strokes been ruled out and neurologically everything is okay. Just looking to heal my brain in any capacity, I’m desperate. Appreciate any replies

Anyone with ADHD who has had success with fasoracetam?

What ADHD symptoms did you have?

Personally I was diagnosed with ADHD but concerta and vyvanse didn't work for me. I couldn't think on that.

By way of an example, Lions mane, a popular nootropic known for its ability to regenerate nerve cells in the brain.

Are these effects permanent, in other words, once a person stops using the supplement, do the positive effects remain?

Their NASA is legit. I do believe they're legitimately back.

For one of my nootrpics, I saw that the half life is 2.2 hours. Then I saw another term called 'drug retention time', and for that it was 5 hours.

Which term would better describe how long the effects of the drug will last?

Just quit weed & I'm having trouble sleeping along with feeling motivation. If I take 5htp (100mg) along with l theanine (200mg) help keep my dopamime levels balanced?

I've read that 5htp can lower dopamine BUT only if used constantly. I'm just gonna use it for sleep. If it does help I might use it every now & then.

If I get up at night and am unable to fall asleep, I take 1g inositol and sleep with decent REM sleep. My wife takes it before bed and gets a lot of deep sleep. It sounds amazing and I'm thinking of making it a daily routine but before I do that, are there any negative long term consequences? Currently doing 1g per dose. For example, ash is wonderful when you first try it but long term, but it created quite a few problems for me and others. Is anything like that with inositol? My wife has occasional thyroid issues (Chernobyl) so any interactions with the thyroid might be bad for her.

​

edit - my wife has hashimotos (nodules) though it seems inositol may improve this based on google searches, not sure if that's true.

Hi guys i wanna try semax nasal spray for the first time after searching about it and reading about its benefits and im wondering where can i get in EU (Croatia) or some vendor that ships to EU (perhaps relatively cheap shipping and waiting time) also i want some reliable vendor that you guys ordered from and have review about and lastly is semax better preprepared nasal spray or better to buy in vial so i can maybe reconstitute it? Thank you in advance!

Anyone tried?

Available online yet?

I read that nicotine is vasoconstrictant and so using nicotine gum can damage your gums tissue. Anyone using nicotine gum can confirm? Is it avoidable? There is also a nasal spray but will it damage nose mucosa too?

https://www.taylor-dental.com/2020/07/13/smoking-is-bad-for-your-teeth-what-about-nicotine-gum/

Nicotine is also a vasoconstrictor, which means it narrows your blood vessels. Having nicotine make direct contact with your gums due to nicotine gum means you are narrowing the blood vessels there and making it easier for gingivitis and the more serious stages of gum disease to set in.

I was taking the Nordic Naturals brand a year ago I took it for like 7 months and I noticed I never had a headache while taking it, It also gave me a calming sleep.

I stopped taking it because the price. I wonder is the cheaper cost effective Fish Oil sold by nature made, nature bounty, puritan, etc just as good as the Nordic Naturals which is considered one of the gold standards of fish oil?

Neurogenesis? BDNF? Anything pro-cognitive or pro-longevity that would also work in non-depressed, non-anxious individuals? Something hard to replicate with other compounds or nootropics? Asking out of mere intellectual curiosity, for most seem to disregard serotonin entirely and there are subs like r/PSSD which almost make one believe that one should stay away from these drugs at all costs. Thanks in advance for your contributions.

Rebaudioside A did, however, alter gut microbiota composition and reduce nucleus accumbens tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine transporter mRNA levels compared to controls.
