“Sulbutiamine has been shown to increase dopamine receptors through chronic use, so that is one potential route for boosting those receptors.”
“For short periods of time you could try sulbutiamine. 100mg per day is more than enough for me. Effect is subtle like coffee.”
“Combined with Sulbutamine was like a laser cruise control. I feel like a six year old kid in focus terms again.”
“We currently only offer Pramiracetam, Sulbutiamine, Piracetam, Aniracetam, Oxiracetam, Pyritinol, Picamilon, Choline Alpha GPC, Gingko Biloba, and Bacopa Monnieri.”
“Try it too! Not motivated? Dont want to move your fat ass ?... Not a big deal Sulbutiamine will change that!”
