| For those who are unfamiliar with nootropics, they are supplements/drugs that enhance memory/learning/concentration. Brief descriptions: CDP-choline: A more effective form of choline. Alpha-GPC: Another more effective form of choline. Some research indicates it is more effective than CDP-choline, but CDP-choline has a much more substantial research base. Bacopa: An inexpensive adaptogen, don't know much about it, but I believe it is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. May also raise thyroid hormone levels. Galantamine: An acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Also has an effect on nicotinic receptors. Huperzine A: Another acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. I like it more than galantamine because it has less side effects, is more selective, and offers additional health benefits. Idebenone: This is a form of coenzyme Q10 that cannot become a pro-oxidant. A potent anti-aging nutrient. Relatively expensive. Picamilon: A modified form of GABA, supposed to be both simulating and anxiety-reducing at the same time. For those familiar with phenibut, this is similar. Vinpocetine: Increases cerebral blood flow, has other properties. |

| Crap, i clicked null vote accidentally. Put me on for Alpha-GPC please. I'd love to see 1fast carry this. |

| Galantamine people!!! trust me... when you take it with Sann Nuroflow you can FEEL your brain and I also now know what yellow tastes like!!!! |
| Posted by: Stinger Mar 23 2004, 03:36 PM |
| I, too, nulled my vote on accident. Put me down for Alpha-GPC choline as well. |
| Posted by: Monolith Mar 26 2004, 08:24 PM |
| I know there's plenty of people who'd be interested in Alpha GPC beyond just the few people that voted in this poll. Current sources for it are few and far between.... |

| Maynard I'm interested in hearing more about galantamine... I found this at another site "NEW! GALANTHAMINE, aka galantamine, is an extract from certain flowers that helps the effectiveness of acetylcholine in the brain both by increasing its production and through improvement of its receptors. It stimulates those receptors without causing desensitization over time. Check galantamine on the web. One should work up over a few weeks to the usual dose of 8mg taken 2-3 times per day. Our powder extract is in a glutamine base and contains alpha GPC & vitamin B5. Price has gone up, but a month’s supply (24mg/day) sells elsewhere for $70-$100. One month supply 35 grams, $48.50. " Yikes 50 bucks for 35 grams? Interesting to note they have mixed alpha gpc and b5 in their powder though |

| I have a Huuuuuge interest in vinpocetine Dying to see if Mike will carry this supp as it's near on impossible to get over here in the uk at anywhere near a reasonable price. |
| Posted by: Bradley Charette Apr 8 2004, 08:28 PM |
| Would these be carried as pure powders? I'm dieing to make a vinpocetine injectable. Intranasal idebenone might be interesting too Definately interested in any or all of them though..... now if i can just find a source for ampakines |
| Posted by: bigk376 Apr 8 2004, 10:02 PM |
| I'd be interested in galantamine, huperzine a, alpha gpc, and idebenone |
| Posted by: Abraham21815 Apr 14 2004, 11:48 PM |
| Alpha-GPC should be the only contender for Choline supplementation, either as a part of a Choline cocktail pill or on it's own. As well these are all excellent choices for nootropics: Galantamine Idebenone Huperzine A Vinpocetine |
| Posted by: Debaser Apr 23 2004, 11:32 AM |
| Im sick of buying Vinpocetine from other places.. I can't believe they dont carry it here yet. The shit is awesome |
| Posted by: fhubig May 12 2004, 02:06 AM |
| I can't believe that I can't find Pramiceratam / Hydergine either!!! |
| Posted by: Utmost Certainty May 27 2004, 02:00 AM |
| Would most like to see you carry Galantamine, Idebenone, Vinpocetine, and Huperzine A. Thanks. |
| Posted by: Vanessa30161 Jun 1 2004, 05:06 PM |
| Hey, where's pramiracetam on the poll? I had mixed results with vinpocetine alone, but it does synergize smoothly w/other nootropics and amino acids, so I'd give it another try. Idebenone too. Glad to see you got Aniracetam, I will order before you run out of stock! |
| Posted by: tjirn Jun 3 2004, 02:10 AM |
| Apha-GPC for me! |
| Posted by: Donk Jun 4 2004, 11:16 PM |
| Make a mixture of vinpocetine and Huperzine A like BAC has or a better one. |
| Posted by: Brandon29152 Jun 5 2004, 10:56 PM |
| Alpha-GPC [ 12 ] [17.91%] Bacopa [ 2 ] [2.99%] CDP-choline [ 6 ] [8.96%] Galantamine [ 11 ] [16.42%] Huperzine A [ 5 ] [7.46%] Idebenone [ 3 ] [4.48%] Picamilon [ 12 ] [17.91%] Vinpocetine I voted for Alpha GPC, but I would seriously buy any of these immediately except for Bacopa which I haven't heard of before, but will research now |
| Posted by: Debaser Jun 7 2004, 09:20 AM |
| In reply to Brandon29152: Bacopa rocks. And its dirt cheap. I pay $6.49 a bottle of 60 100mg pills at my local mom and pop nutrition store. I find it relieves my anxiety throughout the day. I can have a conversation with my company CEO like he's my best friend. I always had anxiety problems in the past. I take 300-500mgs per day. This is actually one of my favorite nootropics just because I know it's actually working while I don't know if the others are doing anything at all. My art teacher in college is from India and she said bacopa is HUGE there. |

| any chance of getting l-deprenyl (I assume its classified the same as the racetams) |
| Posted by: redlemon.gr Sep 30 2004, 06:52 PM |
| Huperzine A would be a grat addition also...... hope prices wont go up!!! we love your prices guys!!! |
| Posted by: redlemon.gr Oct 6 2004, 09:32 PM |

( i mean in any descent site) i would deffinetly like you guys start providing it... its easier to get form where i bought something before and it was good and fast... (delivered) i hope you may start add some more nootropic agents real soon....... |

| Celastrus paniculatus oil is a cold-pressed raw herbal oil expressed from the seeds of Celastrus paniculatus, a shrub native to India. While Celastrus oil has been used in India for centuries it is only within the past few years that it has started to become known outside of Ayurvedic medicine, the traditional medicinal practice of India. The oil is used to increase memory and facilitate learning. It induces a feeling of well-being and has reported aphrodisiac effects. Any chance you could offer this product, Mike? |
| Posted by: Alan46872 Nov 6 2004, 05:11 PM |
| I voted for Vinpocetine. Any word on the progress of getting any of the nootropics listed? Thanks. |
| Posted by: ShapeShifter Jan 30 2005, 05:29 AM |
| Please add centrophenoxine and oxiracetam to the list Can be sourced here: http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/Area_of_Interest/Life_Science/Cell_Signaling/Product_Lines/Neurobiology/Pharmacologicals.html |
| Posted by: Kaner Mar 31 2005, 02:20 PM |
| Voted Huperzine, but I'm interested in just about all of them. Especially if you carry them in bulk, just like you do with Piracetam, Choline and Gingko, which I use. Anyway, I'd get that and Vinpocetine for sure, and give the rest a try at the least. |
| Posted by: sdf42450 Apr 23 2005, 02:00 PM |
| PRAMIRACETAM |
| Posted by: boly May 6 2005, 06:05 PM |
| Vinpocetine seems good for short-memory and better thinking |
| Posted by: Blaise May 7 2005, 04:04 AM |
| It would be nice to see all of these. Especially Vinpocetine (which is recommmended by Charles Poliquin) and Bacopa. Other Nootropics I would buy would be: 1. Pramiracetam 2. l-deprenyl 3. Hydergine 4. Oxiracetam 5. Centrophenoxine |
| Posted by: Robert20397 May 9 2005, 07:04 AM |
| i'm interested in all of these. I'd like BN to start carrying octasanol |
| Posted by: juggernaut333 May 9 2005, 10:17 PM | ||
What are these ampakines u refer too?First I've heard the word. |
| Posted by: goenhance Jun 26 2005, 09:41 AM |
| Products I would purchase if you stocked them 1. Pramiracetam 2. Picamilon Third party assay preffered and would be willing to pay 50% more for any nootropic you have with a third party assay. |
| Posted by: trouble Jun 26 2005, 10:11 AM |
| Debaser, I, too, take bacopa, at the recommended dosage, (twice oer day, with meals). Have you tried using it more frequently to see if your dosage is optimal? Also, I haven't seen much dialog on the following: for any nootropics when to take, time of day, with or without meals how often to take during day (many are very short-lived) what not to take with (anything else competes for binding with active sites, inactivate absorption, etc) symptoms indicating lessening of efficacy, allergy, or unexpected reactions to these compounds |
| Posted by: hyoomen Oct 19 2005, 10:03 AM |
| I voted Vinpocetine as well, merely for the sake of securing a stabilized bulk source without combined vit C or other filler. However, I'd very much rather find a bulk source for pyritinol. Pyritinol and picamillon or vinpocetine as a combo have been awesome (even when mixed with Huperzine A and Bacopa). |
| Posted by: ed72338 Oct 25 2005, 10:55 PM | ||
300mg Bacopa + 500mg Rhodiola Rosea 1-2x day have helped my anxiety tremendously. Gives a nice calming affect but allows you to concentrate at the task before you. |
| Posted by: wayne80332 Jan 7 2006, 07:33 PM |
| Picamilon because I'm always looking too increase or help gaba levels. |
| Posted by: Prune Jan 30 2006, 08:07 PM |
| I'm adding my name to those who have above called for Pramiracetam to be on the list. There are only a couple of stores selling it this far, and if you guys can get it in powder for a decent price, it would kill the competition. |
| Posted by: Debaser Mar 23 2006, 03:26 PM | ||||
i was taking this combo for awhile and don't take it on nights you are going to go out drinking. It made me a drunken zombie after 2 highballs. |

| Hi new guy here |
| Posted by: RepubCarrier Jun 24 2006, 11:20 AM | ||
yeah, 2nd on the pram. You do realize that on nearly every forum, every week/month or so, someone says "where can I get Pram?", everyone else says "yeah, Ive been looking, and really like the stuff, but can't find it anywhere... would definetely buy it if there was a resonably priced source". Repeat ad infinitum, since 1.5 years ago, and continuing to this day. Is this powder impossible to make or something? I doubt it, since it has been on the supplement market before. This would be bought by a lot of people (myself included); hell, I'd tell them to come here and buy it. |
| Posted by: dsade Jun 27 2006, 07:35 AM |
| I'm not working for BN anymore, but I did pop out a few inquiries for Pram. I had found it listed on some of my supplier network referral boards. If it comes through, I'll refer it on to BN. |
| Posted by: dsade Jun 27 2006, 10:34 AM |
| Got it (pramiracetam). My source is doing a batch in the upcoming weeks. I'll have a price next week. The rest is up to BN. |
| Posted by: RepubCarrier Jun 27 2006, 11:12 PM |
| good job marquis |
| Posted by: mglazer Jun 30 2006, 08:27 AM |
| What about Depernyl? |
| Posted by: mglazer Jun 30 2006, 09:38 AM |
| Hordenine would be great! |

| Posted by: Scott180zip Jul 16 2006, 04:23 PM |
| Thanks for carrying ANIRACETAM and PIRACETAM. However you NO LONGER CARRY EITHER. Are other suppliers buying you out? Please restock. |
| Posted by: alexoc949 Jul 31 2006, 02:57 PM | ||
the website shows they are both available....did you call them and they told you otherwise? |
| Posted by: alexoc949 Aug 27 2006, 08:54 PM | ||
did they not want to pick up on this? |
| Posted by: alexoc949 Aug 31 2006, 04:47 PM |
| i have quite a few and piracetam takes the cake for me. I think how you dosage it and how you take it is important to really get the benefits and that a good amount of those that say they get nothing from it is because they aren't maximizing the "how" to take it |
| Posted by: Matt132837 Dec 19 2006, 04:47 AM |
| Picamilon! I love Phenibut, and I wish there were more drugs like it. |
| Posted by: alexoc949 Jan 28 2007, 04:26 PM | ||
i wish i could get a hold of some ghb... phenibut is okay though |
| Posted by: putgo8 Feb 13 2008, 12:56 PM | ||
Ditto. |
| Posted by: putgo8 Feb 19 2008, 05:33 AM |
| I've changed my mind about the Pramiracetam because I recently read that the dosage is in the 100s of mgs. This, in my opinion, is too small of a dose for a supplement I am going to buy in bulk loose powder. Perhaps one of the lesser known racetams has a dosage that is more convenient to measure and cap. (I know that Oxiracetam and Aniracetam, which BulkNutrition carries have pretty good dosages, but I'd be more interested in other racetams. |
| Posted by: TheDiesel Jun 28 2008, 02:32 PM |
| Who own's the 1fast400 brand? Is there contact info for them? Why is Aniracetam/Oxiracetam not capped? I refuse to buy from Unique Nutrition because the dude who owns it is a douche. Need more options here... |
| Posted by: TheDiesel Jun 28 2008, 02:39 PM |
| dsade...? You seem to be an inside-guy: whats the story here? |
| Posted by: CreatorHeart Jul 19 2008, 11:27 AM |
| Picamilon hands down. Hi all, I am fairly new to nootropics, but have experienced with a few of them. I've tried, sulbutiamine, Piracetam, Picamilon and I resently bought the Synergistic Program - Attention and Vigilance from Biogenesis AntiAging which came with the following substances: 1. Deprenyl: 2. Vinpocetine: 3. Acetyl-L-Carnitine: 4. Pyritinol: 5. Modafinil: 6. Vasopressin: 7. Nutritional Support: B-Complex Vitamins (including 100mg vitamin B1). We recommend Beyond Chelation Improved I have to admit that after almost $500 spent in this substances, I feel , I have been cheated out of my money, for I have not felt, nor gain, nor notice any improvement at all in my attention spam. So far, with the exception of Picamilon, I regard these substances as a complete waste of money. As a matter of fact, I have experience the opposite, dizziness, nauseous, extremely bad moods, inability to concentrate etc. All I beg of You is if you can better guide me in finding out a noot that will aid me in the visualization practice that I so desperately need to achieve, for my job demands that I developed a cutting edge visualization which I be able to focus and put all my attention in one thought and one thought only. Please, If you know of a Noot that can help me in this matter, I will really appreciate your kind input. thanks all. |
