Best ND product for Reading / Information Retention / Working Memory / Long Term Cognition

Original post in this thread

caprising_ · 17 points

I'm curious if anyone has found a supplement that has reliably and consistently improved one's ability to read, digest, and retain information in the long term. I know things like phenylpiracetam have great acute effects, but I'm looking for something that will enhance my ability to remember what I read over time.

​

I've made it a goal to read at least an hour of David Hawkins (or similar psych / spiritual / consciousness material), but I'm struggling to retain as much as I would like--I assume this is related to working memory.

EDIT: To clarity, I don’t have issues with mood/focus/energy, just memory and retaining information.

u/misteryouaresodumb do you have an suggestions? I am going to try taking Lion’s Mane every day for the next 6 months and see if my reading abilities are substantially affected.

Lion's mane is a good one. Maitake is another one many people overlook that has good cognitive effects. It has compounds in it that bind to AMPA receptors. 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone would be another one you might consider adding in.

Is ND done launching new products?

We are absolutely NOT done with new products. We are in the thick of development for a bunch of them. Some of them are just taking longer than expected to get perfect, so we have had a lull in releases. That's just becau

Sigma - New supplement containing Tongkat Ali made in collaboration with A.Huberman.

There are so many bullshit tongkats on the market now, especially after Huberman went on Rogan. I am just going to be very direct here, as I no longer have the time nor the energy for bullshit. Anyone selling a 200:1 ton

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb asked me to post the Lab Testing COAs I received from Bulk Supplements (Below)

That's about what I expected. These are just internal COAs. To start, analyzing nitrogen content is not an appropriate methodology for amino acid assay. This is the same shit China got away with on infant formula and spi

I have already reached out to our lawyers on this. I am sick of Consumer Lab ranking products using shoddy chemistry! Consumer Lab is using methods to quantify withanolides that only look at a small portion of them in th
