Just a friendly suggestion but you should consider expanding those tests across multiple weeks. Not only is generally not a good idea to mix so many different supplements of any nature, but if they have a positive or negative effect it is very hard if not impossible to understand which one caused it.
I started off when I was a kid at 19 years old with fish oil tablets and caffeine. I started eating everything rich in omega's. I started adding supplements one after another each year consecutively and now I am on a harmonic spectrum of Supplements that compliment one another through trial-and-error. There were times when I was over abundant in certain things and I just had to stop taking my B12 supplement and D3.
Yea, its the one glaring negative of his videos, I really like the concepts, and the tests he does. But his time frame is always around week - which is perfect as a content creator, and putting out new videos, but not nearly long enough to see any meaningful changes.
@@towerofresonance4877 I've done something similar over the years. I started with a multivitamin and C around age 16. I've slowly added/removed supplements over the years.
yes, it was stupid this
Shut up nerd 🤓. /s
- spends 300$ on supplements
- uses the same free IQ test twice
Dang that’s a good point… 😭
Lol
You need some of that supplements
Funny that he figured that after he took them
😂 he needed those pills bro 😂
A pigmie upload is always a good mood booster, love to see the notification!
Pigmie and Lucas is seriously underrated yet still relevant channel after 15 years. Kudos to Lucas for keep going & keep uploading 👍👊
I ve known you for a long time. And when they recommended your channel to me you had like 80k subs? I am glad you exploded like this man! You deserved it! You were so authenthically genuine and funny. You still are!! so refreshing to see you!
Great content love it please do more and with varying questions!! You're the only youtuber that I know that applies testing to nootropics consumed!
Yo man I’ve been a fan of your videos for like 3-4 years now. If you could make another Kevin and Billy skit, that would be really cool. You’ve helped through really tough times man.
Mm, I'd love to see a video about learning new stuff with your body, like flips, balance movements, endurance mechanics (specific things to try to extend max sprint time etc...), as well as other things in general simply by practicing them within the environment of a lucid dream.
Alpha-GPC certainly works I use 2gs of L-Tyrosine, 600mgs of Alpha-GPC, and 1.5gs of Taurine preworkout. Ill also run the same stuff for a long study sesh.
DUDE. This is insane! I've taken several of these individually, two of them regularly... for me my consciousness usually gets too acute and I get tripped out and stop taking these things lol I can't imagine what the experience would be like to take all of these at once 😂😂😂
" two of them regularly." which ones?
@@danielfrangqvist3757 the same magnesium as in the video and I take a low dose of the mushroom one, actually a blend called "genius mushrooms". I started taking gabba because of this video and I've been sleeping super well with amazing dreams every night.
Do you have any experience with using? A colleague at work takes normotim and recommends it to me. Can you tell me anything about it? What are the possible side effects?

@@user-kg5tg2tp3n sorry I'm not familiar with that one!
You makin me feel good bout myself cause you describing everything about the focus and predicting stuff and all that which is totally me but with supplements ofc, your videos are so good I love watching them
Awesome experiment! Love to see more like this.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 411 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessonsÀ we that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
I took an IQ test once on the Internet and somehow got 140. My siblings got around 125.
I think IQ tests just overestimate to make you feel smarter than you are.
Every time I have tried they charge you so it's probably paying for justification and a ego boost.
not if they're real ones from a psychologist
because the ones on the internet are bullshit, and iq tests in general are just bullshit
I think there are some definite benefits of the tablets though he went up from 105 to 131 there has to be.
Internet IQ tests aren't real. You need to go somewhere official to take one. And the same place may only allow to take a test once a year. Mensa (the real Mensa) supposedly only allows one in a lifetime. It's stated right on the Mensa site that the online test is not to be taken seriously. Joe Rogan is a midwit and only used an online test. Therefore, unfortunately, this video is total bunk.
Sometimes because of all the odd challenges you take on and the fact that you’re so humble, one might lose sight of the fact that you are a calisthenic freak. This video was a good reminder. Great content!
That's the issue with IQ tests you need to use a completely different one. If you did the same one again I'm sure you would score in the 144 range. Need to pay for the test :D
By using a completely different one, do you mean different type of test or the same type and format but different questions ?
Doesn't work like that if he didn't see the correct answers
@@fastgames_pvp7705 this.
@@fastgames_pvp7705 except part of the equation these tests use to determine your IQ is the speed at which you finish the test… so having done the test before you will blow by the questions you know in seconds versus the first time you took the test where you had to spend time for each question to get the correct answer. So yes, taking the same test again to calculate IQ will definitely have altered results because of that.
@@omgurheadsgone the iq tests i took both online and at a psychologist didn't use speed to calculate iq
You should train your typing speed! I love your channel 💪🏻 once i get some cash in i want to support you as much as i can, huge respect you really helped me i'll never forget that. Thank you seriously
Absolutely love these videos
I have seen a loot of videos that skip the comparison about and the after talk! It is the most important! You do it the best out of all the youtubers i know! ;D
Lol I thought the hair-boosting video was gonna be the biggest placebo advertisement but I can’t wait to watch this one 😝
I love your experimental videos, I'm so interested but would never try it myself
That nootropics section looks so good. I wish we had it like that in my country
Great video man
Thank you for subjecting yourself to this for science.
Awesome video bro!
keep goinggg brooo
Aye!!! Lucas got that dance focus 😊
I didn't think you could mix so many compounds to get a real ressult, in that, they would combine and create a strange soup. I agree you have a good body awareness. I think that I do to.
Brilliant video mate respect YNWA brother
I've used Lion's Mane, Bacopa Monnieri, Citicoline and L-Tyrosine. 5 days with these then take a 2 day break which seems to work best for me. I use these with my memory training regimen to great effect. After a year of taking these, I then take a 2 month break from the supplements and then start the cycle all over again.
What results did you notice from your experiment?
that dream experiance you had is cool i noticed when i go to sleep in a more focused state i see visuals
Man took but you gotta focus to the highest level
Great video. Most ppl tend to focus on nutrition body wise, and its rare that they focus on the brain. The brain is the most energy. I tested all these before as well over a longer period tho. Gaba definitely made me moody and hard to sleep. Citocholine worked first week and after that built up tolerance. Tongkat ali didnt improve cognition, just strength. Ginkgo and l theanine together was a beast. Lions mane is the best. This is what allows me to read chapters and actually remember everything i read. Lol n collidal gold mix with lions mane is what im taking now. Gold is a super conductor, and its non corrosive. Its also a noble element, so if they say i am what i eat, then i wanna be noble. To the highest degree😆 but you definitely will experience lucid dreaming witout interrupting sleep. Ancient Egyptians drank gold for thousands of year and believed it was an elixirs of the gods. Tap in
Normally doing the same test twice you only go up 5 or so points, so I think it worked.
Sounds great !! Can you rank the supplements in order of most impactful based on your experience and known benefits claimed ...
Again a A really nice video, like every week
But you could also take such or similar supplements even though you do not know what they are doing so the effect of the supplements is not affected by you already knowing what they should do.
One of the main reasons you are finding yourself having more realistic dreams and seeing those lines is because all the supplements are making your brain work at 100% longer than it would without the supplements. This means that when you go to sleep, there is more for your brain to “download” and process. This makes your dreams stronger or makes you see things. In the short run it’s not a bad thing, but in the long run it can be a problem because you’ll end up not giving your brain enough time to process things at night. That can feel like a false sense of focus or things like brain stutters. Don’t take my word as science but I’ve researched this before and that’s the short version of what I’ve learned
Reading tip. I have the same issue with mind wondering when I try to read. I discovered that listening to jazz (with no words) in headphones actually centered my reading. I found myself reading large books in 2-3 days rather than the 2 months it usually took me before giving up. I recommend Weather Report as a good group for this type of reading.
Give it a try. You can thank me later
great upload
Love your videos by the way, always look out for them. Charming guy, puts in the effort, comes up with amazingly interesting content and follows through. And as always…………..completely focused. ⚡️⚡️
I soooo agree!
The suspense is killing me, what did all of that do for the libido? The stiffy. I like your content. thanks.
Be careful with combining so many Choline precursors with Huperzine A. Huperzine A is an acetylcholinesterace inibitor which prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine which can result in it building up too much in your system. After a week of combining Huperzine A with Alpha GPC, it became too much and became extremely depressed and anxious.
His stiff neck made me think straight away to much Ach
Nice video!
Really cool
Liked and subscribed
I learned so much from this
The 105 on your first test was wild 😂 takes a lot to put something like that on the internet props
You are living your dream life ,you can do anything you want
I'm suprised I'm taking all of these already besides ginko.
Also 8:43 GABA Aminobutyricacid apparently can't be processed by the blood brain barrier to be efficacious.
Phenibut (Aminophenylbutyricacid) does work though, but can be addictive.
Phenibut I can vouch for that! That gave me insane work outs , I also stacked with alpha GPC
I wish I could flip like you. I can barely walk these days ! Hahah hoping once I fix my diet I'll change that but yeah awesome !
For anybody that wants a low cost but a much much MUCH more effective results, do these few simple steps every day:
1) Reduce bad habits & bad diet
2) Exercise
3) Play several brain games / study & memorize every single day
4) Take only one supplement that is well researched and you can afford
Each and one of it are related and compounds if you do more.
Nothing beats exercise and training your brain directly like cognitive exercises.
You can make it easier by reducing your bad habits & diet which affects your sleep quality, that will then affect all of the next steps.
Supplements will only assist you. You will need to put effort.
Caffeine gives you that alertness, but you still need to train your brain.
You can take protein, but you still need to pump those muscles.
Unless you're already having brain fogs or some condition. Then you'll need to be more pickier on your diet/supplement. You'll have to spend more like Resveratrol (Berries) for Alzheimer/Dementia, and so forth.
i've actually tried this exact same experiment before :P exactly the same ingredients, found them on a top list
I was in a spectacular end-over-end rollover a year ago, of which I don't remember, and ended up with a trippy TBI. Trippy because I was seeing that kaleidoscope effect whenever I closed my eyes for longer than a blink. Anyway, I couldn't remember from one minute to another. Yah, I would call a friend to see what's up only to be told they were just talking to me 10 minutes prior. I have good friends and they just laughed at me. This was wearing on me so I happened across Lion's Mane. I took it regularly until I had to check into a physical rehab center for 3 straight months and left the Lion's Mane behind. I only realized how well it worked for me after I had to stop taking it in rehab. I super-snooped it out and, apparently, you have to continuously take it to reap the benefits. Once you stop taking it, and depending on the severity of your issue. you can end up right back where your brain was when you started. It did well for me until stopped taking it. I guess I had in mind that it would have lasting effects.
So, with that said, do you think any of the products you took had lasting effects at this point?
Cheers,
Clueless (literally)
it’s fascinating to me that you were hesitant to take advil after the motorcycle helmet video but are down to take all of these (likely unregulated) “brain boosters” lol. anyways, i’m glad you mentioned these studies about their effectiveness and side effects, but even though these are “natural”, are there any risks to mixing them all together? i really wish that had been explored and mentioned in the video
I love you and love your vids but bro don't start doing crazy weird things , keep safe and your killing it bro
boom pigmie,booyah,please more post about flip and tricks good luck😉✌👌❤❤
Hey friend the huperzine could of been responsible for the lucid dreaming too. Taking any acetyl... inhibitor prolongs rem cycle in sleep :) you looked superfocused though not gna lie
You wont read this but fractals/geometric visuals can be seen even when sober and eye-open if you focus, ironically lol but loading up on gaba and stuff would help
What supplements do you take for thick brows? I need those type of gains, my goodness I am so jealous!
Alpecin
Biotin my G
@@azer4266 thank you. I will look in to that
I read that the authors of "Limitless" were probably inspired by "Amanita muscaria"... And that Amanita muscaria is somewhat similar to Adderall.
Psyched Substance did a video, "Drinking Amanita Muscaria Mushrooms". The way Pigmie behaves in this video is exactly how the Psyched Substance guy behaves.
Then, I managed to get my hands on some Amanita, and I microdosed. I felt the same way as Pigmie in this video; super energy, funnel focus, rapid task completion, dancing, exercise, euphoria... I even injured myself too, for pushing myself too hard. In my case, my knee.
I've been taking Lion's Mane in combination with Alpha GPC for over a year now. Definitely has changed my life for the better
The thing you are experiencing like that lyrics one and that sleeping and getting those visuals. I experienced them when I was younger. How can I know if I'm mentally ill ? I'm really curious. I Wanna talk about this.
Would love to see a week without caffeine as you mentioned you've drank it since 8th grade
it would be great to see how you feel after cutting the suplement consumption
I have MS and breain fade has been a big deal, plus my nerves won't fire well enough to trigger what they trigger, but with stress, heat and distraction it's much worse. Before I was dagnosed, I had brain fade and most obvious was, if I'm working and drop something, and swear, my IQ drops to 70...
Fast fowrad until now, I've been using LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) and man has that heped! I'm sharp again, and better than I was years before I was diagnosed.
Add to that low carb, no sugar diet = inflamation.
This relates to MS where inflammation is a killer (I'm very sketchy if I drink alcohol, even coffee). but don't we all suffer from inflamation?
Have you tried a few weeks on carnivore or the GAPS diet? Autoimmune disease is directly correlated with leaky gut issues.
Bitamin sea and deethree optidosing 👍
Infrared red light treatment. Photo bio modulation might help.
Gaba, if you dont take on a normal and then do start to take it's going to dramatically effect your focus. It's going to be at +10 on that stuff but won't last. Once it builds up in your system that's kinda it. No more effects of crazy mental clarity.
Finally I know how to understand Rick and Morty
Lmao!
Rigus morte?
You should have tried all the piracetams and sunifiram, they are synthetic but legal and amazing, you can feel the difference
I'm not sure about the substances shown in the movie, but for instance, Piracetam starts to work after a week or even two. I took 1200mg daily for about half a year. The results were very good, but sometimes I was too stimulated and even nervous.
I have that same Misguided Focus on my ADHD meds. I have to learn how to direct my newfound focus.
Lucid Dreaming Video With GABA! -Yes We Want!
It Would Be Great To Expand.
Ginkos effects are only noticeable after several weeks of taking it every day. Makes a huge difference in my life.
You should do a video on modafinil or the piracetames or all of em.
pigmie: wanna watch me take drugs for a week?
me: I guess so
Those Indian background musics are simply so calming!!
The video title feels like an origin story
Spectacular stuff, love the dive into different areas of the cognitive brain-body connection.
In regards to lions mane, there’s a stir-in mixture you can add to your coffee from a company called Four-Sigmatic. It actually has 1500mg compared to the 500mg in the supplement you’ve been taking and I’ve heard good things from the likes of Tim Ferris and if you’re downing coffee every day anyways, it might be a good addition :) I know the wisdom you imparted earlier about too much of a good thing, but just food for thought.
I take several of these, the ones that stayed on my list were Bacopa and lions mane. Couple that with some bullet proof coffee and some powerful B vitamins and you’re all good. Guess what I got rid of first.? 100% rid of the Huperzine. Headaches galore. That’s probably what was causing your neck ache and your headache.
That think you seen before you fell asleep is what i always saw when i was falling asleep as a kid.
Since you are already a bit familiar with the questions, you should take the battery of tests again a month AFTER stopping all the nootropics to see if you lose any "brightness".
Thank you for sharing. I am interested in a lucid dreaming video, when you feel like it.
I am partial to Healthforce Superfoods for supplements. If you are taking MSM, i suggest Solgar's MSM paired with the Truly Natural Vitamin C from Healthforce.
27:03 - lol he takes so many suppliments that he has no clue which ones did what! I love the casual non-scientific approach. Very entertaining
how do you even track this without it being a placebo
my dreams do that all the time and its even more so when I eat a great balanced meal!!
You have a headache because you need to supplement a choline source with Citicoline and Alpha-GPC. The headache is from the increase in acetylcholine producing enzymes which use up choline to create the acetylcholine.
Btw, getting supplements, ESPECIALLY nootropics, off of amazon is super hit or miss from what I've seen. The source matters a lot here.
I took that same Mensa IQ test and got a 135, also took a legitimate 7 hour Binet IQ test administered by a nurse and got a 125, doesn't matter because I legit feel like an idiot in school enough to compel me to take Nootropics like Piracetam and Choline, but the results where negligible. I've been brain drain but now have impressive muscle gains
expand rhe test longer! so interesting
Wow you read Charles Stanley too!
Black pepper "might" help to absorb more if u look it up even 2 or 10 times the amount.
The mensa norway test is one of the hardest, saying as somone who did a lot of these online tests and did better scores in other tests.
I've been able to get 128 at most
Some online test can be absolutely cheated. Spend as long as you need the first time and if you see which is wrong and right you can blast throw it at5 seconds a question
guy felt improvement probably duo to the large water intake hes been taking with the pills X)
Just don't get possessed the way you were in the car😂. BTW nice peaceful Indian bgm.
Could you do a video on NMN and resveratrol. Was discussed on Joe rogan by a doctor Sinclair.
Did you get any stomach aches? Since you are consuming so much were you getting any cramps?
This dude looks dead on Steven Crowder 😂 solid vid
Process of elimination how do we know what's what can you please do a video on that.

******** CHALLENGE ********. High level of conditioning through Jump roping. To see what it does muscular, cardiovascular and agility/ coordination. Take an initial marker tests. Leg strength ( ie max reps with a heavy weight) , max distance running..... Agility by jumping hurdles etc..... Then do them again after 2 weeks of training to compare increases. And most importantly.......this challenge should be Rocky themed....
This video is the real meaning of "You gotta focus".
I can do GABA and magnesium well at night but not LTheanine with them. Def one or the other for me.
