How to create the best nootropic stack

In this video, you'll learn how experienced neurohackers go about creating a nootropic stack.

This video will be especially helpful to you if you are just starting out with nootropics.

My recommendation is to create your own nootropic stack when starting out. Tailor your stack to the most important issue you are trying to solve. It'll likely be more expensive because you need to buy each individual supplement.

But the advantages outweigh the cost because once you put together a nootropic stack that works for you, it's only then you can start searching for a pre-formulated stack that contains the same or similar supplement ingredients.

But first you need to determine what exactly needs fixing. It could be cognition and thinking-on-your-feet, memory, anxiety or depression, energy and motivation, or brain repair and maintenance.

In this video you'll get nootropic suggestions for each of these issues to get you started.

Thank you so much David. This video clarifies many doubts for a beginner. And you are right for a beginner, going through individual nootropics videos were overwhelming, this helps in categorizing the right nootropics as per our each individual deficiency/ requirement. Thank you for your efforts on making this video

Isn't NADH unstable and difficult to preserve? Is NMN, a precursor to NAD+ along with Apigenin to suppress the gene expression CD38 that reduces NAD+ that feeds the mitochondria an better option than NADH?
Thanks for your awesome videos!

My teenager with social anxiety and general anxiety/depression just started 200mg L-suntheanine during breakfast but if I add 5HTP to help elevate mood -would this be a good combination (along with cbt therapy)-how much 5HTP is suggested if taking 200mg L-suntheanine? If not a good combination what options are better for elevating mood?
