• Ashwaghanda – reduces inflammation but increases calm and response to stress. Good for recovery, not so good for working out
• Creatine – Boosts your brain power and helps to stave off fatigue by helping to recharge mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells
• Co-Enzyme-Q – Fuels your mitochondria and acts as a strong anti-oxidant, good for focusing but prevents inflammation for muscle building
• Taurine – supports cellular energy metabolism, acts on GABA and glycine receptors
• Caffeine – promotes focus and increases blood flow
• Modafinil – Has been demonstrated to increase your ability to workout by reducing exhaustion (see study)

• Alcohol – In small doses, especially after a learning task alcohol has been shown to improve recall and task performance
• LSD-Microdose – Increasingly popular among professionals, tiny doses are taken every 3-4 days with increasing dosage each time to offset the quick onset of psychadelic tolerance. LSD increases mental energy and connectedness between different areas of the brain. As well as this it can produce feelings of euphoria, hightened colour perception, spiritual sensations and increased mental and physical energy.
• Nicotine – Improves cognition but smoking cigarettes is the main, preventable cause of death in developed countries. Alternatives are available, such as nicotine patches. Note that nicotine has adverse effects on health also. The O’Keefes would sit and chain smoke before painting everyday!
• Phenibut –  A central nervous (CNS) depressant that is still marketed in eastern European countries as an anxiolytic
• Piracetam – An old-school nootropic with moderate effects on cognition, Gwern recommends taking it with the colinergic, DHEA.
• Psilopsybin – used alongside therapy to treat a number of mental health conditions, the reputability of magic shrooms has been on the rise. On shrooms there is a greater sense of the connectedness of your ideas and thinking, greater memory recall and a gentle buzz or euphoria. Besides these there are a great deal more, keep your eyes peeled for our blog posts and new pages on using psychadelics at nootropic doses.

• L-Theanine – Drinking can make us anxious. Having L-Theanine before a session is thought to have benefits, as it reduces the anxiety that already anxious people may experience more intensely whilst drunk. It also has several nootropic benefits besides its positives for your mental health and wellbeing.
• N-Acetyl-Cysteine – Helps to maintain the levels of glutathione is your cells by serving as a precursor chemical to its synthesis. It brings about lower cravings from alcohol for alcoholics, and reduces craving for a number of different addictions (ever check out the NoFap forums? They’re all about NAC : P )
• Vitamin B-12 – alcohol saps your body of b12, so replenishing this useful b-vitamin after a heavy sesh makes a lot of sense. If you’re an alcoholic, consider taking a range of B-vitamins.
• Noopept – Useful after years of alcohol abuse, but we don’t recommend taking them together.
• Electrolytes
• Piracetam – Used to restore cognition to ex-alcoholics.

Nootropics for addiction

• N-Acetyl Cysteine – Replenishes glutathione, a powerful endogenous antioxidant. Has been shown to help when quitting nicotine, and many users in the NoFap community swear by its effects for helping t0 quit PMO, though this is speculative at best.
• Cysteine – reduces the toxic effects of alcohol, including liver damage and hangovers.
• Demoxitocin (Desamino Oxytocin) – A synthetic analogue of the oxytocin peptide. Oxytocin is a truly remarkable drug, it not only improves trust between people, helping in the formation of bonding making it incredibly useful for many occasions like therapy, between couples, for those who have reduced empathy etc. It can be especially useful in combating addiction to nicotine, alcohol and fatty & sugary foods.
• Deltaran the Delta Sleep Peptide – A neuroprotective antioxidant, and antidepressant that defends your neurones against degradation. By preventing cell death to stress, it helps the brain to stay in shape!It’s essentially an adaptogen that reduces stress, it also has antidepressant and anticonvulsant effects. It normalises patterns of sleep, is antitoxic, improves physical endurance, reduces the craving for drugs including alcohol making it excellent for treating addiction.
• Retinalamin – Eyesight is directly tied to a lot of processes in perception, which is intimately linked to thinking, vigilance etc. these drugs are proven to activate eye tissue metabolism, and improve the synthesis of protein in the eyes. It also inhibits inflammatory processes, and helps to repair damaged tissue. It is therefore quite useful for regular smokers of cannabis or cigarettes.

• Cerebrolysin – A peptide drug derived from pig brain, it is administered intravenously. The drug contains all of the amino acids which compose the central nervous system (CNS) Do not try and administer these in other ways, as they can have undesirable consequences. It is mainly used for treatment of strokes, alzhimers / dementia, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, ADHD in children, antidepressant-resistant depression and numerous other brain diseases and incapacities.
• Cytogens – Synthetic Peptides, made up of 3 amino acids. They Include Pinealon, Vesugen, Ovagen, Cartalax, Honluten, Bronchogen, Cardiogen, Normoftal, Pancragen, Testagen, Vesilut and more…

Peptides

Peptide Nootropics fall into 3 major branches:

This section also lists drugs that are useful for fighting infection, for calm and for general health. Expect more sections like this from us in the coming months!

Cytamins – Components obtained through the purification of different bovine organs, they consist of proteins, and nucleoproteins (found within cell nuclei)

Cytomaxes – Low molecular peptide fractions, isolated from different organs and tissues of animals, for example cerebrosylin

Cytogens – Synthetic peptides made up of 3 amino acids

Semax (0.1% | 1%) – Administered as nasal drops or via intravenous injection, Semax is a synthetic analogue of a naturally ocurring peptide drug. Effects include increased memory during repetitive and monotonous tasks, adaptogenic, treating ADHD and disorders following ischemic attacks, circulatory problems or brain injuries.

Cerebrolysin – A peptide drug derived from pig brain, it is administered intravenously. The drug contains all of the amino acids which compose the central nervous system (CNS) Do not try and administer these in other ways, as they can have undesirable consequences. It is mainly used for treatment of strokes, alzhimers / dementia, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, ADHD in children, antidepressant-resistant depression and numerous other brain diseases and incapacities.

Selank (0.15) – Anxiolytic with anti-depressant and anti-stress properties, Selank is typically applied nasally. It is an analogue of the endogenous peptide Tuftsin that plays important roles in the system, and has an immunostimulatory effect that improves lymph circulation. It also improves memory and cognitive functions, and regulates several neurotransmitters including norepinephrine and serotonin and lastly the action of enkephalins, by inhibiting the enzymes which degrade them. This in turn causes opioid like effects.

Cortexin – A mixture of neuropeptides, amino acids, vitamins & minerals with a pronounced subtle effect on the brain. Similar to cerebrolysin it is based on neuropeptides and amino acids.

A mixture of a number of amino acids, vitamins, minerals and peptides which have a positive effect on brain function. it has neuroprotective effects on neurones, and activates neuronal peptides & neurotrophic brain factors, it balances metabolic and excitatory pathways in the brain, and has pronounced GABAergic effects, including the reduction of paroxysmal convulsive activity

Cytamines – These peptide bioregulators are naturally found inside the body. They provide protection to tissues and organs, which is especially useful for high performance athletes, weight lifters and for sport in general.

Thymalin (Extract of Thymalin) – An immunostimulant that stabalises immune response to infections and regulates the ratio of T and B lymphocyte cells. Made from extract of cow thalamus, which is the small organ between the lungs that is involved in endocrine and lymphatic function. The drug is useful for treating bacterial infections, and as part of complex treatments for illnesses (for example alongside HIV drugs, with Cancer treatments like chemotherapy and antibiotics). It helps in the prevention of viral infections too.
