Dr. Marty Seligman, the founder of Positive Psychology, postulates that there are five “ingredients” to a truly fulfilling and happy life. He uses the acronym P.E.R.M.A. to help people remember them. They stand for Pleasure, Engagement (losing yourself in an activity), Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment.
There are two cognitive enhancers in the “racetam” class I especially like. One is called “Aniracetam,” and the other is called “Pramiracetam.” Aniracetam is shorter acting, but may be better at improving one’s mood, whereas Pramiracetam is longer acting, and more powerful when it comes to creating mental focus. You can buy both of these on many websites, including www.absorbyourhealth.com.
Also, a good guide to learn more about these supplements can be found on www.smarternootropics.com. Once there, click on the free “The Complete Guide to Nootropics.”
Taking a supplement called Phenibut (250 to 500 mg) can be a nice addition to Adrafinil.
Adrafinil is available for sale online, but don’t take it more than once or twice a week.
If you’re looking for one tablet that does it all, you might try Sulbutiamine. Sulbutiamine is a lipid soluble form of vitamin B-1 which can cross the blood brain barrier more easily.
About three times a week (tolerance builds quickly) I take two 200 mg pills of a Sulbutiamine supplement from Double Wood Supplements.
If you want to turbo-charge this vitamin for the brain even more, consider taking 750 mg Aniracetam with it, and/or 500 mg of CDP Choline—along with some food. Currently this is my favorite combination for feeling focused, motivated, and happy.
The website, http://ForrestHealth.com has a lot of the latest and greatest brain supplements. I would recommend Brain Vital and Brain Vibrant Supreme, but Phos Cal 900, or Energy 1 and Energy 2 sprays are also worth checking out.
you call the fine folks at TTA, or visit their website, they will go over the various effects of the Kratom products they sell. Perhaps my personal favorite is one called “Wooly Mammoth.” It leads to a mild, relaxing euphoria that can last for several hours. It’s important to know that you don’t want to mix Kratom with alcohol. I don’t know why, but everyone always says that. You’ve been warned.
