AlphaBrain. Who takes it? Feedback pls.

Wow, this is all very interesting. Yea, out of all the reviews I've read it seems to work different for everyone. My training partner was also concerned about it possibly having a placebo effe, but he said he quit taking it for a week to see and it was a big difference..he felt foggy again.

Well, I think next month I will try to order some for me and Sean. I'll try it out before we compete..see what I think. :-) Ross, that makes sense..I don't think id take more than two a day. To be honest I may just order what you mentioned on the side if I want a more extreme effect. I'm so glad we have a forum so I can ask you guys about stuff like this. :-D

Just be sure to not take them together for the reason in my last post :)

I'd try it for a few weeks, seems to treat people differently but as for me I enjoyed it's effects and felt more alert for sure, kind of Zen like sometimes. But it also made me a bit too alert other times so I alternate when I take it but I can say it's effective and high quality stuff.

Mix it in with a little of the onnit new mood,it might give you the same effect it has on me before rolling…or just not work at all!

Alpha brain doesn't do shit to me :/ I wish it did but nothing.
Shroomtech sport on the other hand is fantastic!

I work as a software engineer which requires me to spend hours upon hours hyper-focused on mental constructs that represent million of lines of code and their inter-dependencies. Over the years I've become acutely aware of the exact limits of my concentration and focus, and how it varies on any given day.

Alpha brain for me makes a substantial difference in my ability to remain focused and not be mentally distracted. I am a more productive developer when I'm taking it.

I can't speak for it improving my reflexes like the clinical trials suggest, but in terms of mental focus it makes a substantial difference for me.

Hey you got me looking into this as well now and I've found either inositol or phosphatidylcholine. Thoughts? Kind of at Ross here as he is a chemistry guru.

Inositol has been shown to lower testosterone levels in multiple studies. I bought it once for anxiety, found out about it, and promptly threw it out. There are a lot of great nootropics out there. Piracetam has been clinically proven and relied on for decades. I personally have noopept which is fantastic for a pre training brain stack with choline. Like it makes a huge difference. Only problem is that it enhances emotions a lot, so if you're negatively stressed it can make you mad, so I just stick to pre workouts. But it enhances responsiveness. There's plenty more nootropics out there though.

And if you're reading this and thinking I'm crazy, alpha brain itself is a nootropic stack. To be classified as a nootropic, a chemical has to have high permeability through the blood-brain barrier, and it also has to be almost completely non toxic.

Definitely not a guru. But I guess you could say that I'm a purple belt in chemistry lol

Is it your field of study Ross?
