(Newswire.net — June 3, 2013) Toronto, ON — An impromptu interview with a senior associate at a law firm has expanded my circle of connections that are frequent users of best brain supplements known as nootropics. Although he desired to remain anonymous, he was very open to discussing the Piracetam side effects he experienced and importantly, the edge he found.
“Our firm is fairly large and we see a large infux of (patent) applications per month.”, states David S., a patent attorney from Ontario. “This not only requires astute patience and focus, but a large investment of time.”
David S. was an insightful connection I made at a colleague’s event. I caught up with him seated at the unlit fireplace, and shortly after I introduced myself he downed a handful of pills and chased it with wine. It made me recall an interview I watched a few years back with Ray Kurzweil – and although David isn’t giving lectures on the Singularity, his level of intelligence was higher than most attorneys I know.
“Piracetam is the best brain supplement I’ve come across. As with everything I’ve been curious about I did my research, personal testing, and compared my notes.”, David continued, “It works via AMPA receptors that need the adrenal glands to transmit signals. Proper dosage can enhance and simulate adrenal function.”
Piracetam (this includes all racetams) affects many aspects of brain function and the drug is often used to control common symptoms of aging; including dementia, memory loss and recovery from stroke. While any medication can be risky, piracetam has a lower reported incidence of serious side effects than many competing drugs. However, complications are possible, and users of this drug should be aware of the risks.
Piracetam requires additional supplements to be fully effective. Even in the scientific community, people used to be confused of its mechanism of action. There now exists research that helps us understand how to increase its effects with additional supplements.
“During my preliminary trials with brain supplements, I would sometimes feel fatigued or a bell curve effect from my dosage. I continued my research and found complimentary compounds to supplement.”
Piracetam needs a source of choline because acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter related to information processing. Sulbutiamine prevents mental fatigue or Pyritinol increases alertness, energy and the ability to concentrate. I was informed that either will do the trick.
I asked David about Alpha Brain and other top brain supplements and he said he was unfamiliar, but like everything he currently takes he would do a trial. I gave him a run-down of my testing and he was intrigued with the ingredients list I pulled up on my phone. He placed his order and starts next week.
As I approach my next phase of nootropics testing I am planning to incorporate David’s advice: get a lot of sleep and try to eliminate the variables that could throw off your results. Well said.
