Coffee v.s. Caffeine

Original post in this thread

[deleted] · 19 points

I'd like to get a discussion going about this. From what I understand, there is a difference between the ways coffee and isolated caffeine affect people, but I know very little about why this is.

What else is there in coffee, other than the caffeine, that has a significant effect on the brain? Is coffee or pure caffeine the way to go?

Edit: I'm sort of answering some of my own question, but I'm finding that coffee contains MAOIs, specifically β-carboline and harmane. Missed that somehow when reading through the Wikipedia entry for coffee

nicotinamide

Wait, seriously? Does it have to be in riboside form in order to exhibit the anti-mitochondrial aging effects? Or is the effect mainly related to the magnitude of the dosage?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic

Nicotinamide riboside is a precursor to NAD^+ . However, I believe pure nicotinamide does not lead to the same level increase of NAD^+ . It still might be beneficial, though.

Has anyone tried Excelerol? I'm interested in trying it because it is apparently one of the best nootropics out there, but I'm a bit suspicious because I've never heard anyone talk about it on this subreddit.

A Note Regarding Ceretropic's Caffeine/NALT

TLR were not telling people the ingredients. I never expected them to explain their production processes. I expected them to tell people the compounds they were consuming, rather than giving them proprietary names. I did

What is the best nootropic for someone looking primarily for a boost of energy and motivation that's stronger than caffeine but less extreme than amphetamines?

Replying to [deleted] · In case anybody wants to accomplish this with drugs, I've been using 60mg vyvanse + 1g psilocybin mushrooms for a while. Take both with a hardy meal and 2 glasses of water.

Are you joking or serious? You take amphetamines and a low dose of psilocybin as nootropics?

Less may be More

Replying to Reeses007 · Totally agree with this. I would recommend people trying ingredients by themselves in order to build a stack that they react well to. I've never understood the mentality to use abs…

This is a big problem I am seeing with people new to nootropics. They want to immediately jump into a stack, and do not want to put in the time to try thing by themselves, and see how each one affects them in isolation.
