Nootropics Depot: Mushroom Extracts!

How is there not more discussion on these?

So I've been experimenting with nootropics for 3 years or so at least. Racetams, noopept, modafinil, Prl-8-53, rhodiola, ashwaghanda, etc. I realize that these may not all necessarily be nootropic - but for the sake of cognitive enhancement and personal evolution.

So far, I've gotten one 30g container of Red Reishi and Cordyceps. I'll give my description of each.

First, I tried Cordyceps as I had a good feeling about them. One 00 sized capsule full and 4,000UI of vitamin D3 started my day.

Wow! There is an absolutely notable not placebo boost in energy. Almost a high. Lasts maybe 4-6 hours. I start the day off at 7:30 or so with it and get off work around 3. Occasionally I'll redose at that point or once I get home if I feel like being more active.

Red Reishi, now this one, I thought, was less potent. The tangible effect upon my subjective conscious experience is less prominent. Rather than a bit of a rush of Cordyceps (rush really isn't the right word, but it's close), Reishi feels more airy.

I started off with a full cap, but last time I tried half a 00 with the other half as inositol. Great success! The effects were around…

Dude thank you for being so active here, and for correcting so much misinformation 24/7. I'm placong an order for some tianeptine sodium, tianeptine sulfate, and selank and semax tonight after midnight some time. On the semax and selank I'm looking for the most anxiolitic effect and some stim from the semax, which selank/semax products would you reccommend for a first time user, hopeflly the most hassle free too (id rather not need to deal with mixing bacteriostatic water ha). Thanks so much for all your help and great benefit to this community!

My pleasure!

For a first time user, I always suggest regular Semax and regular Selank. You can't know how you react to different things if you jump right into the latest and most potent version. I would just start with a regular Semax and Selank nasal spray, then see how you like them. You might react perfectly well to those, and not need the modified versions.

What are some common health conditions we may be mistakenly trying to fix with nootropics?

Ceretropic is out of a Tianeptine Sulfate! I hope they're getting more...

Replying to inmy325xi · Quick question, I am about to make a big purchase in a few days from your site and a few items will be peptides that require refrigeration. I am having them sent to a friends house

They should be fine. However, it's always best to take extra precautions. So if it is not a big deal for him, I would just have him put the peptides in the fridge till you get back. They will be perfectly fine for those

German customs seized and destroyed my Semax/Selank order worth 240 $.

Most of our German customers use a reshipper in the EU when ordering peptides. We get regular powders into Germany no problem. However, sometimes they are weird with peptides. So usually German customers use a reshipper

You are going to want an antimicrobial in nasal sprays. Not using one is just asking for a bad time. If microbes grow in the spray, you will be spraying them right where they could potentially get past your blood brain b

Always keep peptide in the fridge, as that is where they are most stable. They are MORE stable as a lyophilized powder in the vial, and become LESS stable once you mix them with water. However, some smaller sequence pept
