Synergistic Effect of L-Carnosine and EGCG in the Prevention of Physiological Brain Aging.

What they were answering

So, with a bog standard American diet, this sounds like "take ECCG", is that a correct assumption? Or would the levels of L-carnosine needed to see an impact be higher than is obtained through a typical diet?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic

It depends on your diet. However, you can definitely get the appropriate amount of L-carnosine from dietary sources. The EGCG is much harder, because it takes high plasma concentrations to reach high enough concentrations in the brain. This pretty much means you have to supplement EGCG in some way. Also, if you take quercetin with your EGCG, you can increase the permeation of the BBB by EGCG. Caffeine has this effect as well, which is why tea can be helpful on it's own. However, you need to drink a lot of tea to see the benefits.

Hey r/Nootropics, we are two neuroscience grad students looking for your suggestions on an upcoming project.

Replying to Carduceus · Mister, you ain’t so dumb, I’d love to know what stack you are taking.

Any interest in a subredit for older nootropics users?

Replying to seb21051 · Understood. Morning after breakfast: 25mg Noopept, 150mg CDP Choline, 500mg ALCAR, 100mg Theanine, Coffee, 1g2 Fishoil, 65mg Ginko, Multivitamin. After Lunch: 25mg Noopept, 150mg C

First I'll start with the nootropic stack. Noopept is good, but is going to take time to build up. I also think you need to lower your dose. 25mg is usually to high for most people on a regular basis. I take 15mg and th

What do you think about ECGC enteric coated from ND ?

I take it every day myself. I would not classify it as a stimulant, though. It definitely increases fat burning. I have noticed that, as have multiple people in our office. However, it's not going to feel like caffeine.
