Polygala Tenuifolia Could Bring Hal the Computer Back to Life

Original post in this thread

p155 · 9 points

You know that scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey where Astronaut Dave Bowman is given Hal a lobotomy? I think Polygala Tenuifolia (PT) could probably bring him back. I say this because I've never experienced a supplement that wakes my brain as quickly as this one does.

The first time I took it and had the experience of sort of waking up, I deemed it initially to be a placebo effect. But when I took a second one several hours later and experienced the same thing, I was pretty much LIT.

I'll report back over the next few days to and let you know if the effect has legs. Meanwhile, if you've tried this stuff, please compare notes w/ me.

You would be surprised just how many people have reported the same thing to us. There is a certain subset of people where polygala causes massive beneficial changes for them. It's not everyone. Many people find it subtle. However, there is a not-insignificant subset of people that report it is the best thing they have ever taken.

Is polygala a strong enough MAOI that it shouldn’t be combined with aniracetam?

No, it's not something you need to worry about. The main compound in polygala that has MAOI effects is called DISS (3,6'-disinapoyl sucrose). It has less than 0.5% bioavailability. This means it is likely not clinically
