What nootropics have you taken and felt no effects?

For me it has been Alpha Brain from onnit. I bought 90 of them, felt nothing.

~~I did the math once; if I remember correctly, you'd have to take roughly 32 grams of Alpha Brain per day to stand any chance of getting the recommended dosages of everything it contains, assuming an even spread of all ingredients.~~ See note below.
For me, Aniracetam seems to be pretty hit or miss (more often miss than hit), so I am not including it in the newest iteration of my stack.
Edit: My bad on that, the 32g/day was for a different pre-made stack. I'm still kinda skeptical on Alpha Brain being worth it their; Vitamin B6 dosage is way too high, the Alpha GPC dosage is about 1/3 to 1/2 of recommended, the Huperzine dose is fine but not recommended to mix with Alpha GPC, Vinpocetine is too low (although not necessarily a recommended noot), their AC-11 is really just Cat's Claw and at 700mg/day they are about 1/2 of recommended, Phosphatidylserine dosage is about 1/4 of recommended, Bacopa is way too low, Pterostilbene is nowhere near the correct amount, L-Tyrosine is a little low, L-Theanine is fine, and the Oat Straw is fine.
