Achieving brain optimization comes with a lot of trial and error. Experimenting to see what works best for you. But spend enough time in the nootropics community, and you begin to see patterns develop.
After you try the latest edition to the racetam-family of nootropics. Most biohackers settle into the nootropic that works best for each category of; cognition & focus, memory, energy & motivation, anxiety & depression, and brain repair & maintenance.

Hi David, I’m really enjoying your website, so informative! I was just wondering if your book, Head First, will be available as a physical book soon? I like to give my eyes a break from the screen. Thanx.
John, the 2nd Edition of Head First is at the publisher and they just sent me the gallies yesterday to review. And as soon as I review and approve them it will be available in Hard Cover.
I was very pleased at what the research has shown. What scares the most is big Pharma, when that gentleman asked about adderal being a nootropic was an amazing discovery, but for me I am not going into that drug seeking behavior, I am taking specific reason, I am older now and I remember taking in my 40’s and had terrific results. If I mixed ginko, with genseng, and a little beepollen,(optional) and I had no ED problems whatsoever, and upon remembering that I decided to buy a bottle today at London Drugs, and it was at a reasonable price. I also got some vitamin C, as it is cheap and its good for the winter, and I take vitamin D3 for the winter because Vancouver, Canada can be gloomy and dark for long periods of time resulting seasonal depression disorder and D3 is good for me for 3 or 4 months.I enjoyed the presentation so far, thanks ladies and gentlemen, your team is on to something, I also love plants and the power of them.
Dennis, Adderall is NOT considered a natural nootropic supplement. I consider it a “smart drug” because you need a prescription in most countries to get Adderall.
And the research shows it’s only effective if you are clinically, truly ADD or ADHD. Otherwise it can have the opposite effect and harm your brain.
Most reasonably healthy adults can dramatically improve cognition, learning, and memory by using the right natural nootropic supplements.
I was told by a Psychiatrist that Adderall if taken for long periods of time can stop your body from producing it’s own neurotransmitter, Dopamine!
That is a terrible thing!
I would like for David to explain what he meant by his reply on October 27, 2022, that: “it can have the opposite effect and harm your brain.”
Thanks!
Sheila, that may be true of someone who is not clinically ADHD or ADD. But I’ve seen zero science to support that. So I suggest asking this psychiatrist to prove it.
What the science does demonstrate is Adderall may be effective for helping the symptoms of ADHD or ADD in someone who is clinically diagnosed with this condition. The same science shows anyone who is not clinically ADHD or ADD and is using Adderall recreationally will end up with cognition problems.
David, I have only just now discovered you. I will be ordering the books. I am kinda in a hurry and, therefore, would rather not spend months of study. My Mom and I live together and she is the family treasure. She is soon to be 99. Very full of life. Something that must have been mild occurred a few months back to her speech and memory. I attributed it to a bad UTI but believe it to have been a stroke that was not witnessed. She has had fresh squeezed orange juice every morning for five years and on Q10 and a few others. In short, I would consider a consult if there is something that can bring it “back.” I sincerely believe she can be helped. She is frustrated over “communicating” Your thoughts if you have the time and thank you for your help and research.
Jo, once someone has a stroke there is only so much you can do especially at an advance age. But there is some information in this article which should help you: https://nootropicsexpert.com/best-nootropics-for-the-aging-brain/
UTIs are a stealth stealer of cognition. Several acquaintances have had good results after being treated for an undiagnosed UTI.
Hi! What supplement would you suggest for oppositional defiant disorder? My son has been such a problem starter at home. It’s heart breaking
Heather, combined with psychotherapy and social skill training the only ‘drugs’ that have shown limited success have been lithium and Ritalin (if he is also ADHD).
The closest natural nootropic supplement in this case is Lithium Orotate (https://nootropicsexpert.com/lithium-orotate/).
How much for him? He is 12
Heather most Lithium Orotate supplements contain 5 mg lithium and the rest is orotic acid. I am not qualified to recommend anything for someone who is underage. I suggest doing a search and see if you can find a forum or thread somewhere that has a parent with similar experience with Lithium Orotate for a 12 year old.
Hello David,
I am reading carefully all your content and I think is amazing
I would like to know if you consider as a nootropics adderall, modafinil and those compounds that are related to anphetamines.
Do you think it is a safe use to use them without a medical prescription¿
Thanks a lot
Victor, I consider those “smart drugs” and NOT natural nootropic supplements. See what I think of them here: https://nootropicsexpert.com/do-brain-enhancing-drugs-work-know-the-risks/
