@@NootropicsExpert Hey!:) I just wanted to say, amazing content and videos sir first and foremost🥳. I have OCD, Germaphobia, and Paranoia disorder. What nootropic (or nootropics) in addition to my current meds would work for my conditions as I listed above?
I have a list of supplements for OCD which is not yet published but am willing to share them with you during a consultation. But I would need to know more about the other two issues before making any suggestions.
Thoughts on Silica / Orthosilicic acid as a nootropic? There’s some research suggesting it can improve memory and cognition attenuate the effects of Alzheimer’s disease support the production of nervous tissue and hinder the absorption of toxic aluminum
Thanks of for posting those studies. There appears to be some speculation that silica can help get rid of aluminum that has been implicated in Alzheimer's. Not sure however that it could be use as a "cure". More of a preventative from the looks of it so far.
Are use a variety of things and I’m wondering if carnitine would interact with them I do in fact use Metal and blue are the usual things like vitamin D and tocotrienol, magnesium(both threonate and glycine, glycine, moringa, dulse,Irish sea moss, black seed oil, I’m a raw food vegan as well, with the only ocassional sardine repast. I Need to rewatch this video in order to assess the side effects, but I will buy this product and utilize it, I am also planning to book a session with you I’m not really a heavy weight lift or any of that I’m a musician by trade I was looking for the best way to maintain my house so that I can continue that trade
Thanks David. I love your info and appreciate it. Just donated. Not much but will more when I am able. I just started taking epitalon and it is a miracle for sleep for me. I have been experimenting with peptides and amino acids. The tricky thing for me to figure out is how to time amino acids so they don’t cancel each other out or cause problems. With food/without etc. Do you know if L-Carnosine interacts with or shouldn’t be taken at the same tike as other peptides or aminos?
Thanks for the donation! Much appreciated. I don't worry about combining supplements an worrying about them competing for the same transporters. The dosages of each is typically much higher than what you get from food so the supplement is going to win the content anyway. That's been my experience.
Is it best to separate the nootropic supplements from the other supplements when taking them? I put all mine (vitamin D, zinc, etc) in breakfast , lunch dinner cups and take all at one time.
That's what I do as well. I take all of my nootropic supplements with a glass of water and a tablespoon of unrefined coconut oil. The Oil helps activate the fat digestive part of my gut so the fat soluble ingredient in my stack are absorbed and used.
@@NootropicsExpert even if the supplements are not nootropic do you still take them with the nootropic ones as well? I consider most of what I take as nootropic except iron
Have you heard of anyone stacking more then one racetam together? Because of my genetics, i get optic nerve atrophy so im curious to try to see if it improves my vision anyway plus i love music. What i hear generally from usees that this is a mild racetam. At the same time, ive read users like you and others like aniracetam for social anxiety and you also said combined with sulbutiamind, you can accomplish anything. So im wondering if it would be possible to have more then one racetam in a stack.
Some srudies suggesr that phospholipid bound dha like that found in roe or caviar is more beneficial for people with the apoe4 gene variant as the normal form isn’t able to effectively cross the BBB . Rhonda Patrick and dr Steven gundry mentioned this. What is the optimal omega 3-6 ratio in a blood panel?
Our ancestors had a ratio of 1:1 or 2:1 of Omega-3 - Omega-6. But ours clocks in at 16:1 or 17:1 because of the Omega-6s in our food supply. The only way to lower this is use enough Omega-3s every single day. And our brain requires 1,000 mg DHA per day. And about half that of EPA.
Thank you so much! I have much appreciation for the health education and empowerment that your work provides us. It sounds like lcarnosine should not be taken by itself...? Is the best, maybe only, way that you are able to offer for people to know where to obtain these other supplements necessary to stack with lcarnosine and their dosis, a private consultation with you? I appreciate your response🙏🙂
The only reason to use other supplements with L-Carnosine is because this supplement may increase lipofuscin. The other supplements I mentioned are used to suppress lipofuscin. I'm happy to do a consultation with you but I've also written articles on how to choose the best nootropic supplements. Like this one: pulse.ly/iclta2c5ci
@@NootropicsExpert Grateful for the answer! On a tangent - What's your guideline on spacing L-Tyrosine? Every 4h next 500-750mg intake makes sense? How to combine with food intakes? Noticed that food sometimes removes the need for L-Tyrosine -> on the other hand sometimes makes me not able to operate in the world completely lol. PS: this Q been bugging me recently as I'm learning to interact with L-Tyrosine harmoniously :) online says half-life is around 4h but my feeling says it can vary drastically and build up and depend on many factors - would love to be accompanied with your input, David!
L-Tyrosine has a half life of 2.5 - 3 hours. Which means the 500 mg Tyrosine you take at 8 AM is gone by noon and can no longer make dopamine. Which is why I use and recommend 500 mg Tyrosine morning and again at noon. Don't worry about the amino acids from your food because that 500 mg capsule is usually considerably more than what is in your meal and wins the competition for transporters.

Hello , thank you for your content . I do have a question . How does one who is new to nootropics know which nootropics are safe to take sublingually? Does taking a nootropic sublingually also mean you can remove it from its capsule if bought in capsule form ? Thank you !
I usually include in my review if an option is to take a supplement sublingually. Most of the time ALL of the research I have as well as anecdotal evidence and my personal experience is these supplements must go through our digestive system to get any benefit from them.

You will see several manufacturers selling a L-Carnosine supplement but the actual ingredient is beta-alanine. Which is a precursor but it's not L-Carnosine.
Natalie, some manufactures say "L-Carnosine" on the bottle but the Supplement Facts label shows they are using Beta Alanine. Which is a precursor and not Carnosine. That's what to look for.
Good question. I've seen studies verifying L-Carnosine crosses the blood-brain barrier and provides benefits. And other studies that shows using Beta Alanine which is a precursor to Carnosine works as well. I suggest experimenting with each and find which works best for you.
Sorry but even in the transcript it is not clear as to what to accompany l-carnosine with. Is that CDP choline? L-Car and is L Car the same as L Carnotine? Was that DMAE? Too bad these names do not appear in written form as you were presenting. I definitely don’t want brown spots, anywhere. Thanks
Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is very different compared to L-Carnosine. ALCAR helps reduce lipofuscin. And when combined with CDP-Choline also helps boost acetylcholine.

What if i stack it with Alpha GPC?
CDP-Choline is safer to use long-term compare to Alpha GPC according to a large study done in Japan a couple of years ago.
I have Beta-Alanin its converts into Carnosin. I hope this gives all the benefits.
You just need to use a much higher dose of Beta Alanine because your body has a hard time converting it into L-Carnosine.

You do not "re-awaken" dead cells. You body naturally replaces its cells at an amazing pace. L-Carnosine simply supports its natural function.
