SHR # 2346 :: A Nootropic That Delivers
Show Notes:
[2:30] The problem with conventional nootropics.
[3:46] Neurohacker collective
- It is a group dedicated to using citizenship science to further nootropics.
[4:57] What goes into making Qualia?
- Caffeine is not a “more is better” type of compound.
- It follows the “Goldilocks’ principle”, in which there is a “just right” amount to consume.
[7:00] What qualifies something as a nootropic?
- A true nootropic will give better mental performance with little downsides.
- Some nootropics are “active” in that you feel them almost immediately. Others have more of a passive effect that you do not necessarily feel, however, this type of nootropic changes brain architecture over time (i.e. Bacopa)
- A good stack should have a balance of both types of nootropics.
[10:10] Qualia Mind vs. Focus.
- Mind is considered to be the “premiere” version of Focus.
- Mind helps with stress more than focus.
- It also improves cell membrane of the nervous system.
- Algal DHA and phosphatidyl serine are 2 ingredients that help to do this.
- Mind also has more of an effect on neuroplasticity.
- It is a long-term supplement with some reverse tolerance, meaning less is needed over time.
- Neurohacker.comCode: SHR
- Mind also helps neurotransmitters stay topped off.
[16:45] Will Carl finally give up coffee?
- Carl is a prime example of building too high of a tolerance to caffeine.
- With Qualia mind, Carl has been off of coffee for 3 weeks now.
[19:30] Procrastination is generally reduced in those that use Qualia.
[21:35] The nootropic dose of caffeine is 50-100 mg.
- Sports performance application is higher.
- Brain performance is the limiting factor in fatigue management.
- Fatigue starts in the brain.
- Athletes have seen more return on investment when taking a nootropic.
[28:20] What ingredients in Qualia help to replenish neruotransmitters?
-Acetyl choline donors including:
- Alpha GPC- ergogenic and nootropic benefits
- Citocholine, Algal DHA, Phosphatidyl serine, and Rhodiola.
3 dopamine precursors are included:
- Phenylalanine
- Tyrosine
- Mucuna Pruriens
Mind also upregulates conversion to dopamine.
- Huperzine A is a cholinase inhibitor. It binds to the cholinase enzyme in order to prevent degradation of choline in the brain.
- Coleus with caffeine is popular in Ciltep stacks. The caffeine in Mind comes from coffee berries and is also high in polyphenols that upregulate brain derived neurotropic factor.
[36:57] Mind did increase BDNF in pre-clinical trials.
- Boosting BDNF early in the day helps with sleep.
[38:40] Dosing
- Some individuals will not need a full dose.
- There is only ~13 mg of caffeine per cap.
[45:53] Anxiety effect of recall failure.
- Theanine in Mind should help with anxiety; it helps the brain enter a Theta state ( under 10Hz)
- Caffeine gives performance speed without accuracy.
- The rest of the blend adds accuracy.
[47:11] EMF and RF and their relation to anxiety.
- They are stressors.
- We want to do more to strengthen the “camel’s back” while simultaneously reduce whatever “straws” (stressors) that we can.
[54:13] Eternis
- Eternis is designed with cellular health and gaining in mind.
- Contains 38 ingredients.
- Reduces metabolic debris.
