What people actually say

“I'm a big proponent of siberian ginseng, Eleutherococcus senticosus. Done well for my dad who works 85 a week in management.”

“It certainly has helped me, no end. It's helped with the host of sleep problems and waking in the night”

“For energy and focus I'd check out Rhodiola or Siberian Ginseng (Eleuthero).”

“the Cold-Fx another poster mentioned was Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senitcoccus) extract (patented by Cold-Fx company, btw) and does work fairly well from what I ingested.”

“Honestly, Siberian Ginseng is my go to. It's a nice clean buzz without the jitters.”

“I have tried siberian ginseng and rhodiola before, both have a very positive affect,enhancing my mood and motivation”

“for me maca, and siberian ginseng (which btw. is not related to actual ginseng) are the most reliable energizers”

“Siberian Ginseng, it's great in low doses I've found, it reduces your stress response and aids your adrenal glands”

“200 mg seems to be the perfect amount for me and has a shorter half life than caffeine with not noticeable crash.”

“Paraxanthine, one of the metabolites of caffeine, has a lot of the positive qualities of caffeine and fewer of the side effects. I'm a month into experimenting with it and could see it replacing caffeine for me.”

“I've taken paraxanthine for over a year now and definitely recommend it. Doesn't affect sleep as much and results in fewer jitters, palpitations, and feelings of anxiety”

“I enjoy paraxanthine, as a metabolite of caffeine it is still a stimulant but the half life is much shorter... It seems to be a less anxious energy”

“Yeesh, I took a NALT, salidrosol, and paraxanthine cap this morning and felt medicated practically. Not edgy, just right. I normally don't respond much to dopamine precursors like NALT, and I have a tolerance built up to praxanthine / caffeine.”

“Paraxanthine: it's a metabolite found in the caffeine molecule...I use it a few times a week and it makes a massive difference”

“Paraxanthine has completely replaced caffeine for me personally. Research it, it's a caffeine metabolite.”

“I'd suggest trying CalmAid (silexan) - it has evidence for anxiety, it's non-sedating, works within ~15 minutes and doesn't have the risk of the common alternatives.”

“And they've been utterly amazing. I can think clearly now. I didn't even realize how much anxiety was plaguing me.”

“I'd drop the SJW and go with CalmAid (Silexan) since it actually has specific evidence for anxiety and does not interact with at least one type of oral contraceptive pill.”

“If you're looking for something else to try for anxiety, I'd recommend CalmAid...Works within 15 minutes...Most people dose once per day as needed.”

“CalmAid has been great for me for anxiety without any negative cognitive side effects of note.”

“significantly calming without inducing much if any lethargy. Futhermore, the subjective effects I personally experience, include a very nice mood boost and I feel like I can focus better after taking it.”

“Baikal skullcap works wonders for me, 250-500mg per day and it really does its job well”

“My ultimate stack for anxiety is lemon balm,baikal skull cap,Ksm66 ,Isoliquitergenin and pregnenolone”

“I'd use Baikal for that, my verbal fluency and short term memory usage is insane with it.”

“I took a bottle of Baikal Skullcap and really liked it for some time.”

“Baikal Skullcap and lavender extract (Silexan) have been the two most helpful for me”

“Baikal Skullcap has been pretty good for my allergies.”

“I've been taking baikal skullcap every night for a week or two”

“I already have...baikal skull cap which are great”

“I'd recommend to have a look at these: Baikal Skullcap”

“Literally 80% of my anxiety and depression went away when I stopped having all allergens (in my case wheat, soy, dairy).”

“I've tried removing gluten and milk (helped temporarily)”

“My brain fog didn't completely go away until I cut out wheat, potatos and tomatos.”

“I cut out all added Sugars, processed/preserved foods, pork, & fried foods. I found eliminating grains helped a bunch.”

“Elimination diets are really the only things that make sense to me: figure out your own niche foods.”

“This CAN be solved with diet. No flour, sugar (including fruit), alcohol, nightshades... Whenever I slip from the anti-inflammation diet my psoriasis goes crazy. While Im adhering to it my skin is perfect.”

“Every time I eat dark chocolate, I get loads of energy, my brain feels clearer, I feel more sociable and it's almost a kind of giddy feeling, just warm and lifts my mood so well it's incredible.”

“I was eating Lindt Excellence's dark chocolate bar ... it gave me the most random anxiety attack shortly after.”

“It improves my sleep because I feel better the next day.”

“When I had long-COVID, even dark chocolate was improving my eye sight somewhat.”
