Hi David,
Do you have any nootropic recommendations for narcolepsy?
Seth, I have not come across any research specifically for treating narcolepsy with nootropic supplements. Nothing natural will provide the same stimulant effect as a drug like Modafinil.
Only thing I can suggest is supplements to boost your energy levels. Like this: https://nootropicsexpert.com/best-energy-supplements-to-buy-in-2021/. Either stack described in that article may help. But instead of using select B-Vitamins in your case I suggest a bioactive B-Complex because chances are you are deficient in at least some of them.
One other thing is boosting dopamine. Try 500 mg L-Tyrosine 2 or 3-times per day.
Hi David! I am new to Nootropics and just beginning my research. I am so happy to have found your site and YouTube channel last week. They have been so incredibly helpful. Thank you!!!
I am researching for relief of my own issues as well as for my Mom who is beginning to suffer from memory loss. I placed an order a few days ago for a few different items that you suggested based on my needs but I would really love to schedule time to speak with you and get your advice and suggestions specific to my concerns. I clicked the link to your calendar on YouTube and it gave me an error message. Is there another way do this?
Christine, thanks for the heads-up on a bad link on my YouTube channel. If you can remember where you found that bad link please let me know and I’ll fix it.
Meanwhile, you’ll find links to my calendar here: https://nootropicsexpert.com/personal-consultations/. I highly recommend an hour rather than 30 minutes from past experience of dozens and dozens of other consultations.
Hi David I have made my own stack equivalent to Mind Lab Pro with the only exception being that I am using sublingual vitamin B complex in place of taking vitamin B complex in capsule form. I read that sublingual is better absorbed in some people. I am not feeling the same effect and curious if taking vitamin B complex in capsule form helps absorb other nootropics better than sublingual? The change in how I feel could be attributable to other causes so not sure if I should consider adding vitamin B complex to nootropic blend in non sublingual form? Any feedback on this is appreciated.
Natasha, a lot or these supplements work by going through our digestive system. And that would include most of the vitamins and minerals you need every day. d
Just because something gets into your bloodstream faster does not mean it will work better.
Also, keep in mind that Mind Lab Pro was designed with each ingredient working in synergy at exactly that dosage. And they use premium patented versions of many ingredients which would be expensive to try and recreate their formula.
I’ve gone through the calculations as have others and Mind Lab Pro keeps on coming up as the most cost effective way to do it. And it works.
Thank you for this explanation.
If I am adding a racetam in addition to Mind Lab Pro, do I need to take additional citicoline or is there enough in 2 capsules of Mind Lab Pro to assist racetam such as aniracetam?
Natasha, it is likely that there is not enough Citicoline in Mind Lab Pro to support Aniracetam use. But each of us is different and you may find that it is enough.
The only way to find out is to try it. If you do try it and find that Aniracetam provides zero benefit, or you get a headache, it means you need to add an extra choline supplement.
Hi david
Do you know which supplements help in low blood pressure? Does B9 Folate and B12 helps?
Wong, for optimal cardiovascular health and blood pressure you need the right daily dose of Vitamin, C, Vitamin E, the B-Vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, chromium, and vanadium. A deficiency in any of these can result in an increase in blood pressure.
As for the rest of the list I suggest using the search function at the top right and search for the keyword “pressure” and see what else turns up. You have plenty to choose from.
Hello David! I stumbled upon your youtube video about tryptophan while researching low serotonin levels. I would like you expertise please. I have suffered with MDD and anxiety disorder ever since elementary so I know that my serotonin is low. I recently quit taking Trintellex because I noticed that it was making me forgetful and I know long term use of anti depressants can affect cognitive ability. Now that Trintellex is fully out of my system I find myself getting back into a rut again. Do you think tryptophan could help me and does it affect cognitive ability after long term use? I would like to try the natural route if I can. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all of your wonderful information you provide.
Misty, if Trintellix worked for you then supplements that increase serotonin may work for you. L-Tryptophan is certainly the safest way to increase serotonin. But you may need to use it before bed because it goes on the make melatonin as well. Which will make you sleepy.
Tryptophan does help with cognitive ability especially if you use it daily. But serotonin works in concert with dopamine and they must be in balance. So you may want to consider trying L-Tyrosine during the day to increase dopamine as well.
