Accidental Cistanche Megadose…

Original post in this thread

cooIness · 6 points

Hey guys, so for the past 2 days I accidentally been taking a whopping 2 grams of ND’s Cistanche. Well to be fair, 2 grams on the first day and 1.5 grams today before my eyes pierced the actual recommended dose.

For some idiotic reason I misread 200mg for 2 grams.. That’s right, 10x the recommended dose.

So I was wondering are there any side effects of taking such a massive dose? Could I have screwed up the tolerance already in just 2 days? Surprisingly, I haven’t noticed any benefits yet, and thankfully no side effects either.

P.S: Ill make sure to wipe the crust out of my eyes before I take this stuff or any other nootropic in that case lol.

Thanks for reading this potentially hazardous screw up

Have you ever mega dosed any nootropics accidentally/on purpose?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · ND Owner

Yes, many times over the years. You'd probably be hard pressed to find a person on the planet that has taken more nootropics than I have. I accidentally took a 24mg dose of semax before. That was back when the only semax you could get were the drops for $180 shipped from Russia. We were the first to bring out semax in vials for injection on Ceretropic, then in nasal spray bottles. Dosages were not really known back then, because it was all in Russian and were in drop form. I screwed up the math when translating the Russian data, and accidentally took 24mg in a single dose. You can read my post about it below.

That was probably my largest megadose as a factor of % over normal dose. We also brought out many novel nootropics over the years without any real data on dosage or effects, so I am always the Guinea pig for assessing safety, effects, and setting standard dosages before we bring things out. I am a bit more careful these days, though. I did a lot of risky experimentation back then.

Why doesn’t ND sell semax?

It would be entirely correct to say Semax is my baby. I wasn't the first person in the world to make it, but I certainly popularized it here in the west. It literally didn't exist as it does today before we changed that

Piracetam situation? (125g jars back in stock)

Replying to Muffinman392 · Thats cool af that you guys are making new molecules, the nootropics scene has been lacking in terms of innovation.

We created phenylpiracetam hydrazide back in the Ceretropic days. I found the research on piracetam hydrazide, and figured why not add a phenyl group? So we contracted a lab to make it for us. N-acetyl semax and N-acetyl

Will ND ever sell RPGU-95?

Replying to tree_of_tree · Would you ever sell semax or selank?

Not on Nootropics Depot, no. I started Ceretropic. We were the first to start selling Semax here in the US, other than the imported Russian dropper bottles for $180. We popularized all those peptides. However, I shut Cer

Replying to 3ric843 · Is there any reason one would choose to take the full spectrum over the supercritical? Is there any active that isn't extracted by CO2?

There are some things we don't yet know or can't quantify yet, so that's the idea behind the non-extracted. We can design extraction methodologies to pull certain things over in higher amounts, but we don't really know a
