Actually the do, even caffeine works but it suffers from the same downsides that everything else does, which is tolerance.

3meo-2xox-pce definitely works for what I used it for. It had one major downside though and that was the mania that accompanied it even while microdosing. Then there are different forms of magnesium that are more soluble than others. And there are also pure neuropeptides now, which is really the way that the industry is shifting. Rather than taking drugs that effects my brain a certin way to produce the release of neurotransmitter, why not just go to the source and directly take the neurotransmitter

i like magnesium and just got some! But while it can be considered a nootropic...for me is still in the "safe" zone: caffeine, l-theanine, magnesium threonate...
what do you think of it?

I have a friend who works for one of the bigger nootropics companies and the only thing that he currently takes on a daily basis is magnesium threonate. Don't quote me on what it does exactly, but I'm pretty sure that magnesium helps protect your brain from everything else. We produce it naturally, but if you're increasing the levels of other chemicals artificially than you also need to increase the level of magnesium

if you read Tim Ferriss's last book [ which i recommend ] "tools of titans", many, many people talk about the need to take magnesium daily.
I'll see how I feel and order more!
thanks a lot
