Has anyone experimented with Centrophenoxine as an alternative acetylcholine supplements in their stack?

I was watching this vedeo about Centrophenoxine use as a nootropic, and they mention as a precaution that it is an effective cholinurgic enhancer. So instead of introducing more acetylcholine into the brane it improves uptake. The caution is that excessive acetylcholine can cause headaches and muscle cramps. I'm assuming then that one would not want to mix Centrophenoxine with any of the choline supplements.

What I'm wondering though, is if this would be as effective when paired with a racetam as choline supplements are supposed to be. Another possibility is that it would have a synergistic effect when combined with piracetam and a choline supplement since piracetam is supposed to deplete acetylcholine. I would probably want to be careful about dosing though. Or am I totally overestimating the strength of these supplements?

i replaced cdp with centro for a while - a month or so, maybe a bit more i wasn't counting.

centro is a better version of DMAE, both eventually breaking down into acetylcholine - if i'm not mistaken. it's also supposed to be somewhat stimulating and better for memory - but why i'm not sure... if someone can provide some insight on the specific reason for this?

anyways, i just took 30mg noopept + 4.8g pira and coincidentally i forgot to take any choline (as mentioned i would usually take centro) and i feel fine. wonder if it has anything to do with centro?

DMAE does not break down into ACh. It is an ACh analog. It takes the place of ACh in the brain.

Regardless of deanol pretreatment time (1-30 minutes) or doses (33.3-3000 mg/kg i.p.) used, we detected no increase in mouse whole brain ACh levels. Likewise, there was no detectable elevation in ACh levels in rat whole brain, cortex, striatum or hippocampus after a 15-minute pretreatment with 550 mg/kg of deanol (i.p.).

Ch administered i.p. or i.v. up to the dose of 120 mg/Kg caused neither behavioural effects nor changes in ACh level. Similarly no effects were detected following administration of equimolar doses of PCh or DMAE.

Treatment of rats with [2H6]deanol significantly increased the concentration of choline in the plasma and brain but did not alter the concentration of acetylcholine in the brain.

So it's effects are different to an ACh precursor. It's other effects are postulated to be from it's ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species and protect cell membranes and increase their fluidity.

Will heat or acidity degrade noopept? (can I put noopept in my morning cup of coffee?)

Noopept's melting point is 97*C (206*F). That is less than boiling, which is what most people use for coffee. So I would not suggest putting it in boiling water. I'd be worried about stomach enzymes too. Oral administra
