Curious what your thoughts on herbal vs synthetic nootropics are, specifically with regards to potency and how that relates to learning, memory, and test taking ability. How do you view the more potent classic herbal nootropics such as bacopa, rhodiola, goth kola, lions mane 8:1 vs the different racetams, noopept, etc?

And if you were going shoot gun style studying everyday for an exam (~50/50 combo of memory/logic with quantitative bias) for 2 months or so and wanted to take the same stack (cost agnostic, 4-8 supplements) everyday (including exam day) what would yours look like?

Are you able to comment on “general purpose” stacks containing synthetics that are proposed to you?

How do you feel about something like: rhodiola 3% ros, Lions man 8:1, polygala, 7,8 DHF, Alpha-GPC, oxiracetam, and pramiracetam - as a study stack?

That seems like a solid study stack.

What nootropics do you take for studying/learning?

Replying to jennuwine · What nootropics do you usually combine with pramiracetam?

I usually combine piracetam, oxiracetam, and pramiracetam with centrophenoxine. Some people add in alpha-GPC or citicoline, but I get low mood with potent choline sources. So I stick to centrophenoxine instead.

Replying to mind_in_a_box · So far, nothing worked for me. l-tyrosine, l-theanine, noopept, aniracetam, pramiracetam, oxiracetam. yes, I took a choline source with the racetams. first alpha gpc, then bitart…

Try something other than a racetam. I barely use racetams anymore. There are a lot more effective things out there.

My comment was more for everyone else reading. You have to remember that a lot of people come here who are just starting out, and might see kratom being mentioned on a nootropics subreddit, then automatically consider it

Safest and most reliable? I'd have to say it would be something like DHA, as boring as that sounds. If you are looking specifically for a racetam, then it's going to differ for everyone. I personally think both oxiraceta
