Somebody (I think MisterWhyAreYouSoDumb) mentioned something about how NAC is superior to Milk Thistle for keeping the liver health

I want to dig up some research on that but could not find anything. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thank for that explanation. But in the context of protecting the liver when taking Armodafinil...is there any benefit from either Milk thistle or NAC? If so which is better?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb

Adrafinil's effects on liver enzymes is small, and very similar to acetaminophen. NAC is the gold standard for protecting the liver from that sort of thing.

Tongkat Ali feels like modafinil to me (question of timing)

Replying to klausvonespy · So horrible bitterness that follows you around. I think we're beyond nootropics into dystopian nanobots. Do we resist or just give in to our new Tongkat overlords?

I have thought about making a mixture that is the most vile tasting thing out there. I could do it easily. The base would be the 10% tongkat extract. Then you add some berberine for the nice bile flavor it gives. You add

Modafinil Tolerance: Possible Modes of Action

I can 100% confirm that the CYP3A4 induction from modafinil is substantial. At least it is for me. If I take modafinil in the morning, then take a substance that is metabolized by CYP3A4 (i.e. kratom), then the effects a

Converting Adrafinil to Modafinil?

Replying to Spr33y · So then in theory supplementing adrafinil with milk thistle isn't necessary and/or helpful?

Well I am not sold on milk thistle. It has not been shown to be effective in clinical trials. N-acetylcysteine on the other hand is a great liver supplement. It really helps scavenge ROS. I think adding in NAC to your r

Replying to AndolsHerrick · This looks great, nice job! I was curious about the Adrafinil and the enzymatic activity necessary to produce Modafinil. Since it's sublingual, theoretically it would bypass the l

That was our thought as well. It will bypass first pass metabolism, so it will definitely lessen the liver enzyme activity. However, it will still go through second pass metabolism. The elevated liver activity seen in a

Is modafinil tolerance reversible?

Replying to deh707 · I hear Milk Thistle reduces tolerance, as it has to do with liver enzymes.

Ohh, that's actually a good idea. Perhaps not milk thistle specifically. However, maybe most of the noticeable tolerance is simply due to CYP450 enzyme induction. Returning the enzymes to normal levels might eliminate mo
