What people actually say

“I also take alcar, alpha lipoic acid, choline, and pqq, but... there is some difference with these, but not as major as with CoQ10.”

“ALCAR+alpha lipoic acid works as well as Adderall. Actually, it's a bit better for me—it wears off more slowly and doesn't interfere with sleep the way Adderall does.”

“ALA fixed the issue almost instantly, so I usually don't take ALCAR without the ALA.”

“R-ALA - has shrunk keloids that I was told would never go away and helped with general over all MS body pain”

“OptimALA and NA-RALA - I felt this was helping also but dont know about mercury redistribution”

“I read alot about alpha lipoic acid with carnitine and coq 10, and fish oil being important, though I never noticed any improvement”

“I've been getting a lot of energy with ~2000mg ALCAR and (IIRC) 300mg ALA, alpha-GPC, 50 mg p5p, and a curcumin/piperine cap”

“when I used to take a large dose, ALA helped me feel less cracked out”

“some things that helped me get over chronic fatigue ... alpha lipoc acid”

“For the mitochondrial stuff I recommend ALA along with ALCAR and Coq10...it's insane how well it works.”

“It really helps prevent redness and gives me a clear complexion.”

“For me personally, taking ALA really helps with that crash.”

“Alpha Lipoic Acid: Maybe improved my neuropathic pain”

“Alpha Lipoic Acid gives me crazy crazy headaches. and i suffered enough until i figured it out.”

“ALCAR/ALA allows endogenous GABA to cross the BBB, it's working quite well for me.”

“For nerve pain and repair, check out alpha lipoic acid and palmitoylethanolamide. I've had a few bouts of nerve damage over the years. The last time, I started using both and holy shit did that help.”

“Mushrooms make me a better husband and a better human all around. Sometimes I don’t feel the urge to have sex while I’m on a dose, but I feel much more connected afterward. Low dose is definitely an aphrodisiac in my experience.”

“doing shrooms helped a lot. I felt really peaceful...This slowly went away, and was gone the next day.”

“I also micro dose psilocybin on and off and macro dose once in awhile. This definitely helps with my overall well-being and mood.”

“Microdose mushrooms or just one big trip every now and then fixed me.”

“Have you ever thought about microdosing? Mushrooms for example? Helped me quite a bit.”

“The psilocybin just made my mind quieter and allowed me to focus on one thing at a time. Its also helped me just stay in a positive mood which helped my anxiety.”

“hands down microdosing Psilocybin has been Phenomenal! I feel more in tuned with myself, always present through out the day, quick witted, in love with my thoughts and I feel more intellectual.”

“My favorite and most potent nootropic is Psilocybin. Microdose during work days gives me a boost of energy, more focus and more outside of the box type solutions to problems.”

“My chronic anxiety goes off after 30-40 min and works for 24h.”

“Have you read much on micrososing Psilocybin? That worked wonders for me last year.”

“The only thing that ever helped me feel myself again was magic mushrooms, but it's too hard to get it now.”

“Psilocybin made my mood symptoms virtually vanish, can't say it helped with EF.”

“I once tried microdosing golden teacher mushrooms...it was the first time I felt like 'this is what my brain was meant to feel like.' Later I tried mushroom again, albei a++...But this one didn't work at all.”

“The Paul Stamets stack of 150mg Psilocybin, 100mg of lions mane and 10mg of Niacin has been vastly better for me.”

“Not peptides but I've taken psilocybin a couple of times now and it has helped a lot.”

“I love the way I feel when microdosing. Great energy, productivity and increased confidence, WAY less anxiety than when I'm on adderall.”

“St. John's Wort, Passion Flower, Hops, and Skullcap. My sleep improved with those.”

“even the nootropics that some communities swear by did nothing for me (some that come to mind - racetams, tyrosine/NALT, NAC, methylated B vitamins...”

“I dabbled with 5-HTP ... and St. John's Wort ... and found them to have some nice anti-anxiety / sedating effects.”

“I am taking Saint John's Wort and Bacopa now to modulate my serotonin system, as well as trimethylglycine to help boost catecholamine production. That is helping a lot.”

“Didn't see any results with regular doses, so I took double the amount, and still nothing.”

“It worked after 3 weeks of supplementing but the feeling I got from it wasn't very pleasant. I felt very emotionally numbed from it and apathetic.”

“I have tried Adderall, ritalin, and st johns wort, none of which are effective although I definitely feel an effect just not the desired one.”

“I tried St John's Wort, Tryptofan and 5-htp. None worked, it even made the problem subtly worse.”
