5 Nootropics You Can Get at Your Pharmacy (and cheap) - Thomas DeLauer
Imagine walking into a Walgreen's or a CVS and being able to get your hands on like a limitless pill, like a powerful nootropic that's going to increase your memory, and make you feel just almost invincible, and just give you just that feeling of mental acuteness that you need.
Well, that's the purpose of this video. I'm going to give you five nootropics that you can just go and find at your local grocery store or your local pharmacy.
Now the five things. First off is Alpha-GPC. Alpha-GPC stands for alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine. Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine is something that provides choline for our bodies.
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is the spark of energy. Without acetylcholine, we don't get the the spark. It's what actually is lighting things up and making energy transfer.
It's very complicated. The long story short is that a acetylcholine is going to be very powerful when it comes down to brain performance. If you have low levels of acetylcholine, like muscles don't contract right, the brain doesn't send a signal right, it can really mess things up.
The Journal International Society Of Sports Nutrition took a look at test subjects broken into four groups, Alpha-GPC at 200 milligrams, Alpha-GPC at 400 milligrams, caffeine, and then a placebo.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
They wanted to measure a few things like a subtraction test, which is how quickly they could subtract certain things, spatial awareness and memory. They wanted to measure even some physical performance, and they wanted to measure jitteriness, just the side effect.
Lion's mane is a mushroom, but it's something that you could now get your hands on just about anywhere. In fact, I've seen lines mean at CVS. I've seen lion's mane at Walmart.
Of course, you can get lion's mane at Whole Foods and things like that. Probably one of the least expensive nootropics that you can get your hands on, next to creatine.
The reason that it works in a nootropic effect is because it boosts what's called nerve growth factor. Nerve growth factor, just like the name implies, it grows neurons. It grows brain cells. It literally helps saturate a brain cell to help it grow and recover. We need this, especially if we're taxing our body a lot.
This first one is pine bark extract, known as pycnogenol. Pycnogenol is a specific form of antioxidant known as anthocyanins. Now, this pycnogenol, it's interesting how it works. It really works in two particular ways. In one way, it affects the endothelial layer of a vessel, a blood vessel.
Basically, it allows the blood vessels to relax and produce more nitric oxide, which therefore allows more blood flow. It can cross through the blood brain barrier, so it allows more blood flow specifically in the brain, which means more oxygen delivery, more nutrient delivery, more micronutrient delivery, and more mineral delivery, and overall just feelings of wellbeing.
There's a study that's published in the Journal Of Neurosurgical Sciences. It took a look at just taking 50 milligrams of pycnogenol three times per day for 12 weeks. Get this. There was almost a 9% increase in mental performance.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
There was a 14% increase in memory. Then, there ended up being a 30% decrease in reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress within the brain. Okay, so improvements in memory, improvements in mental performance all while making the brain healthier and more sustainable. Very simple. 50 milligrams of that stuff that you can get at Walgreens is going to make a big difference for you.
astly, a study that was published in the Journal Of Neuro Regeneration Research found that it can actually improve nerve STEM cells or neural STEM cells, so in particular areas of the brain.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
What that means is, if you have a few just dead brain cells, maybe from, I don't know, sucking up helium when you were a kid or something like that, or holding your breath for too long, you might be able to regenerate some of that, because STEM cells are what are going to allow those things to regrow. It's a little bit in its early stages, but it's still nice to see that ginkgo has these powerful effects on the brain.
1. Alpha GPC
2. Creatine
3. Lions Mane
4, Pine Bark Extract
5. Ginkgo Biloba
Thanks
Don't know about your advice but I LOVE your wood and corrugated metal kitchen! Is that a real plant climbing the wall?
Thank you
I tried all five together and it does work .
Any particular brand recommendations?
Great video!
Question: How valuable are Omega-3s in brain function? I notice it was not one of the five supplements mentioned.
Omega 3 is not a nootropic; however, DHA is essential in brain composition and EPA is essential for body - heart, blood vessels .
Did anyone use normotim for a long time? Were there any side effects?
Any updates to this video? Can you add a simple list with dosage in the comments so we can determine how to create this at home Nootropics plan?
Thx T , 🏋
Will someone remind me which ones help with memory?
Lions mane
Lol, good 1
I know a pill very good for memory very very good for memory I am taking it daily 10 times a day it's called..... It's called.... It's called..... 😃
@@archivaldogutierrez7439 I hate you tell me >:(
xd
Sorry, I can't remember!
Nootropics are great, I am taking normotim now
If every one of those nootropics is good in a stack, then why must we buy each one individually? Is there a high quality cost-effective combination pill available?
They probably do have supplements that contain all of these but they usually don’t contain the right amount for optimization. Cutting costs.
Nice. Thank.
Sup Thomas! I miss your vids
Surprised you don't list Bacopa Monnieri.....
Thomas what brand is the t-shirt you're wearing here? Please. Thanks!
M XIII I believe it Hylete. He lists their webpage in his descriptions. I absolutely love their clothing. The BEST gym shorts I have ever worn. Hands down.

But I do enjoy it very much
Hey Thomas what are your thoughts on taking Gaba supplements
Can we take these all at the same time?
i am also curious. did you found out something?
This was awesome. I've got to try it.
*Changed my life. I will never eat the same ever again. "Unless you physically trip and your face lands in a box 4.Fo/Nootropics , there is no such thing as a 'slip'." Get that mind set and you'll win again*.

Can I take alpha gpc while fasting
Years ago, I took my son off of all ADHD medicines like speed derivatives like Ritalin, etc. I found a Christian couple from Montana that sold pure Pycnogenol pronounced Pic-Nodge-in-all . And it seemed to regulate his disorder big time after a couple of weeks. Also, the couple told me to take him off as much processed food as possible - this surely helped him graduate high school and without the Pycnogenol, that wouldn't have happened.
Hi, I also have ADHD but without hyperactive thing and the pycnogenol that you mentioned is the same pine bark extract?
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
01:21 *🧠 Alpha GPC enhances brain performance by increasing acetylcholine levels and inhibiting its breakdown, leading to improved memory and physical performance.*
04:36 *💡 Creatine, in small doses, is beneficial for brain function as it aids in ATP production, offering a significant nootropic effect when combined with other supplements like Alpha GPC.*
05:32 *🍄 Lion's Mane mushroom, easily available, boosts nerve growth factor, aiding neuron growth and recovery, potentially aiding in Alzheimer's prevention by removing beta amyloid plaque.*
06:28 *🌿 Pine bark extract (Pycnogenol) enhances cerebral blood flow, oxygen delivery, and nutrient transport to the brain, improving mental performance and memory while reducing oxidative stress.*
08:09 *🌱 Ginkgo Biloba increases blood flow and indirectly boosts acetylcholine levels, potentially aiding in nerve stem cell regeneration and overall cognitive enhancement.*
Do you have any videos on multi vitamins I take Vitamin Code for men i wanted to know if it's even worth it.
Try to find an interview with an Auditor for supplement companies...
I'll be buying less supplements, and being more picky about where they are made.
It's all about climate control in their factories. Heat & Humidity are the enemy of most supplement material.
Thomas What do you think about small dose of lithium?
What does that do?
@@alisiahoinart318 Lithium is a common anti-psychotic inhibiting dopamine and increases serotonin. I haven't heard of it being used for focus at low doses.
Oh you are the first comment I've seen that mentions lithium. I have an idea to combine this with lions maine shroom, because one grows more synaptic connections and the other grows neurons.
Can women take creatine?
Tami H for sure! You get creatine any time you eat meat. I recommend creatine HCL, no bloat and feel mentally sharp and muscles full.
Make sure drink extra water.
I’m 216# and drink about 140 ounces a day.
🤙🏻
Yes. There are several forms of creatine so you might want to do some research first.
So we take one pill of each every day?
IM KETO -- MY PRE DRINK AND POST SHAKE CONTAIN SURCLOSE WITH POLYDEXTRIN MUST I CONTINUE TAKING THEM HELP
Scelo Peabo no
@@HelmetBlissta WHY YOU SAY NO ITS SURCLOSE WITHOUT MALDEXTRIN ONLY POLY DEXTRIN
No. Sucralose. Bad. No.
Thomas, do you take any of these?
Prob only creatin
During training for pro ball, Alpha GPC was like gold for us athletes still in college who studied late nights and woke up 4am for workouts.
How much is the mg of each of them that I should take?
Look it up fucko
So do I buy them all and take them all?
What pills do I take to get biceps like yours?💪🏼
You need the gym bro
TRT
Steroids
Anavar

Thank you!
IM KETO -- MY PRE DRINK AND POST SHAKE CONTAIN SURCLOSE WITH POLYDEXTRIN MUST I CONTINUE TAKING THEM HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! USN XTS PRE AND USN WHEY ISOLATE THOMAS HELP!!!!!!!!
I would look for something that doesn't have dextrin in it. Most lean whey protein or plant protein has no dextrin. Surclose is just 0 calorie sweetener so it's good.
@@360undead thank u
Mental acuteness?
I might be mental but I'll never be cute
😂😂
Can you take other vitamin's with nootropics?
Yes
B3 niacin
Lions mane is grown all over the globe. There's a debate between the mycellium vs fruiting body, Paul Stamets comes to mind. Which form was used for the Studies?
Lions mane It didn’t work for me
@@Andi-fk8vs Which form/brand did you try? They don't all seem to have the same effect
Just watch out for ED with Lion’s Mane quite a common side effect ☠️
When is best time to take alpha gpc?

Is Lions Mane ok to take while fasting?
I hate Lion's mane it makes me so angry and irritated that I just wanna kill somebody in the gruesome way possible. I tried it in different doses of different brands but the effect is still the same. Why is that???
Makes a person dream too vividly too. Seems to open up strange areas of the brain.
@@Iron-Bridge nah, ashwagandha works better for me in that regard
Lion's mane makes your libido go down. Anyone experienced it or have any thoughts on it?
Yeah, I agree. I felt great when I first started taking it but after 2 months it TANKED my libido. I think it might inhibit DHT. I stopped taking it and things are back to normal. But I wish I didn't have any side effects cuz LM was awesome for cognitive function. I don't post comments on RUclips much but I think people should be careful with LM. Goodluck.
@@ScrewfaceForDummies Thanks for sharing your experience. I felt the low libido within 1 week of taking it. Once I stopped it everything was fine. Unless you are practising celebacy LM isn't worth taking regardless of all its benefits. I personally didn't find any positive benefits during my 1 week use.
I took a lot of Maca powder alongside Lion's mane and felt an increase in libido, perhaps the effect from maca powder greatly overpowered the effect from lions mane
@@huzlfinance I was taking it for 2-3 weeks till I noticed the benefits, and boy it was noticeable.
@@AbyssalNova805 I suppose you could take Rhodiola instead of Maca, cause that's also a nootropic and libido enhancer in one.
Can I combine all of them?

I keep hearing about nootropics!! I need to investigate more!!! Love your content.
ArdelleVision, NMN and PQQ are the Cadillacs of nootropic supplements. NMN is pricy, but the results are incredible! Good Luck
Steve Picchi hi what does it do for you?
shay brown it gives me a ton of energy as well as taking me out of T2 diabetes! Yes, it keeps my blood sugar levels low which in turn brings my A1c down below the pre-diabetic values. You can learn all about NMN by listen to David Sinclair Phd. The Joe Rogan podcast had him on twice and he has various videos on RUclips as well. Also Dr. Rhonda Patrick is another extremely good listen. These two individuals are the REAL deal as far as nootropics are concerned! So NMN and PQQ are worth a few hours of your time to see if they fit into your life! Good luck with your results!🙂
Steve Picchi wow. So much to learn! Thank you!
ArdelleVision my pleasure! There are a whole lot more to these two supplements than what I’ve written. Good luck🙂
If you stop any withdrawal effects?
Bless you & your family
I suckeded up too many of the heliums when I was a kidd. Now can regro brains!! Skippy, bro.
was wondering when you were going to talk about alpha gpc
I drink a nootropics infused coffee 🙌
Heather Shay I was thinking these would be great in my keto coffee
@@blueglassmelech9243 sounds great. I wouldn't start my day any other way.
So what's in your coffee?
Does anyone know how a woman can take creatine without gaining the water weight?
Bes-t nootropic urlah.com/nootropicals
Why do you don't want to retain the water weight
Nicotine
Why no L-theanine ?
but doesn't nitric oxide damage the dna?
I doubt it, cause it's in Beetroot and that repairs dna.
why the GIANT price difference between Pine Bark Extract and Pycnogenol? Reading all the questions/comments on Amazon.

Hey Thomas, how much vitamin D should we have daily?
20 to 30 minutes of sunlight a day I think it was the right amount c:
I'd be interested to know how to get it all dietarily. Some of us don't/can't expose our skin to sunlight.
@@keshakellogg5995 idk men, Thomas have a video on vitamin D but don't remember if he said that
I would suggest 2000-5000IU, depends on body mass (and sun exposure), even 10000 is safe
30k

Do a video on Ginkgo Biloba combined with Ginseng
Oh and bacopa!
@@MochaZilla what is that?
@@mohammedyounus23 bacopa is an herb that helps with mental acuity like ginkgo biloba.
@@MochaZilla Is it also called Brahmi or Gotu Kola?
I’m a bit confused about the pycnogenol, and am finding the study hard to read. Should we be taking a 50g tablet daily, or injecting 50mg per kg into a body cavity like they did with the mice in the study?
If they are getting results from 50mg injection then i would take 100mg-200mg pine bark extract orally.
Anything in these that may inadvertently break my fast?
Pleaaaaasssseee....for alpha gpc you only have to eat 2 eggs per day...incl.400mg Cholin...
@TheClassicalSymphony the whole egg industry is disgusting and cruel they blend male chicks alive just for an egg what normal person would do that? Choline is in all plants, where do people think the chickens get it from? Lol
and then just wash it down with a nice brewed coffee. Why bother with caffeine supplements if you can get it the enjoyable way.
What of people who can’t stand eggs? They make me gag. Give me a good steak any day. Am I allowed to supplement alpha GPC with your blessing?
@@jameslimburn4210 you have my blessing.
@@mathiasgiomi8034 lol! Thanks bro! 😎
alpha gpc is not cheap
Does taking these compounds, particularly creatine break a fast???
Wouldn't take creatine while fasting, needs to be taken with food to avoid digestive issues.
Forget nootropics. Show me your arm workout
Sean, you should check Sean Nalewanyj. He makes videos about arm workout.
