What people actually say

“what's given me the best performance increase, is getting more sleep (shooting for 7-8 hours now, from 4-6 hours before)”

“I take or have taken every sleep supplement under the sun with no results.”

“Sleep 8 hours / night, lose body fat (Mediterranean diet worked for me)”

“I personally don't function well without 7-8hrs sleep, I got 6 a few nights back and just couldn't handle the stresses of a day.”

“Sleep is the most important thing. It's why I've had to get off caffeine entirely.”

“Sleep is the most important thing in life for our cognition. Diet and exercise come after.”

“I need >8 hours of sleep per day to perform at my best.”

“When I do get the full 9 hours of sleep I want, I think clearer and it makes my mornings a thousand times better.”

“Sleep is definitely on top for me as well. All the noots in the world don't make up for a day following a terrible night's sleep.”

“Learning how to sleep well, meditation & exercise has been the best treatment for me when it comes to a fundamental shift in mindset.”

“Having solid sleep for 2+ weeks always makes my afternoon energy dips less noticeable.”

“just make sure to sleep well (I have a sleep stack). Sleep deprivation reduces the effectiveness of stimulants and dopaminergic nootropics. Take a mid-day nap if they are become in less effective.”

“Now that i stick to coffee, excercise, and getting proper sleep, i actually make much better grade than i used to.”

“Sleep is very important, but I would also say that bodyfat is an important factor.”

“The symptoms abated when I drank lots of water and got some sleep.”

“Sleep, moreso than anything else. Every hour less than 8 that I get, makes it work less.”

“I left everything else the same and doubled my panax ginseng dose to about 2000 mg 3x daily. This really made the difference.”

“some of them I don't notice, some of them give me pumps but then I crash afterwards, so I end up not taking it consistently.”

“I think nothing is better than Ginseng- for me it's best to take it every other day to feel the effects, works very well with Ginkgo- makes your mind super sharp.”

“I tried GS15 Ginseng and didn't like the effects it gave me. Gave me weird disassociation for some reason.”

“I've tried tyrosine and stimulating adaptogens (panax and rhodiola) and alcar and b-vitamins and TMG but nothing works.”

“I've tried ALCAR, Panax Ginseng and ALPHA GPC recently but they didn't give me the boost that I needed.”

“The ginseng may give some increased clarity but that has always been extremely short lived in my experience.”

“A good quality ginseng (high in ginsenosides) gives me such a clean, calm, focused energy.”

“It's like nature's adderall. I can't believe I've ever written a paper without the stuff! vs I tried it I didn't notice any particular benefit.”

“It all started with just creatine, Ginkgo, and Ginseng. Each one made a significant difference in my life and mental well-being.”

“Panax (Korean) ginseng extract on empty stomach early in the day...has helped me immensely”

“I've previously used fenugreek, panax ginseng, ashwagandha and tongkat ali. This is the first one that noticably worked next to fenugreek”

“I had a friend attempt to get off adderal and he found panax ginseng and ginkgo combined worked to give him a similar energy and focus”

“oh yeah i love taking it when i'm on a vyvanse break. i sometimes get a huge creativity boost from it, lots of energy, and a wild sex drive. i like to keep the dose at 300mg”

“The supplements that have felt most like Adderall to me are Tyrosine and Panax Ginseng”

“Panax Ginseng... gives me a strong sense of motivation and energy but in a calm, relaxed, focused kind of way.. But don't take everyday”

“At 35 years old, I literally feel as good as I did in high school again in every aspect: motivation, libido, energy, wellbeing, etc.”

“I've done several months on things like Clomid, and while my numbers looked good, I didn't feel it.”

“I feel dramatically 'stupider' and much less mentally sharp since using. Especially since coming off and PCTing 5 times to try recover. But even before this slightly, worse after PCT (Clomid, Enclo, Nolva, never same time).”

“I am on Clomid to get my T levels higher but it does nothing from my sex drive.”

“So i have used clomid 6 monts ago 50mg with 10mg rad. Cycle were great, slight test supression, which came back after 2weeks pct with clomid 50mg. But i got all the side effects clomid can give me.”

“Clomid has nasty sides it was the only one I was able to snag for my cycle though. So far so good just lost in libido from the clomid.”

“Enclo no but clomid completely ruined my eyesight, well it didnt ruin it but it gave me permanent eye floaters.”

“Personally clomid is my go to because the side effects of nolva are worse for me. The nolva lethargy/depression is not fun. Clomid has some side effects also but they arent as bad ime.”
