Wah? Have you even tried galantamine? If you have, what's your take on it? My bottle has arrived but I haven't tried it yet.

[Recortes]

Curcumin
Green Tea
Red wine
D3 (if your blood test indicate you are low in this)
Difficult to say if the rest are worth on the long run.

No havent tried it yet, havent tried semax and cerebrolysin either, it was more of a list of what looks the most promosing to me.

[aLurker]

Okay, I was hoping for a glowing review

Here are five nice supplements in no particular order:

Vitamin D
White tea (too bad the caffeine doesn't agree with me)
Red wine (easy on the alcohol though)
Omega 3
Vitamin K

[niner]

Vitamin D (oil-based formulations only)
Vitamin K (K2-MK7)
Fish Oil
Magnesium
Carnosine

[mikeinnaples]

Vitamin D (oil-based formulations only)
Vitamin K (K2-MK7)
Fish Oil
Magnesium
Carnosine

Same ....except switching Beta-Alanine with Carnosine

[ironchet]

Vitamin D (oil-based formulations only)
Vitamin K (K2-MK7)
Fish Oil
Magnesium
Carnosine

Same ....except switching Beta-Alanine with Carnosine

Same here... + probiotics every now and then.

[yucca06]

Resveratrol
D3 (from october to march, natural sun exposure between)
idebenone
Na-R-ALA
Taurine

[Bghead8che]

Red wine (easy on the alcohol though)

Red wine is great OTHER than the fact that it is potentially addictive, contains a potent neuro toxin (alchohol), is caulk full of calories and loaded with sugar. :-)

[medievil]

I left out vitamine D3, K2, fish oil etc out of my top list as i see them more as an addon for getting all nutrients you need, technically also supplements i know.

That's why I much prefer dealcoholized red wine. Much of the calories are also from the alcohol. You don't get the same benefits from red grape juice/skins though so it has to be fermented as wine in the first place.

[Anthony_Loera]

Curcumin
Resveratrol
Cycloastragenol
Magnesium
Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Edited by Anthony_Loera, 20 September 2010 - 06:55 PM.

[pycnogenol]

In no order:

1. Na-R-ALA
2. Vitamin D-3
3. Magnesium glycinate
4. Omega-3
5. Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Runner up:
Resveratrol

Dry red wine has very little-no sugar. If you are buying bottles in the $5-10 range, then, yes, the winemakers typically add back sugar
in the form of grape syrup to add mouthfeel, typically around 0.1%.


Also, what about the epidemiological evidence that moderate drinkers live longer than abstainers and heavy drinkers?

[e Volution]

Replacements*:
Vitamin D3
Vitamin K2-MK4
Fish Oil
Magnesium
Probiotics

Supplements:
Lithium
Curcumin
Green Tea
Carnosine/Beta-Alanine (haven't made up my mind yet)
ALCAR

* I consider these replacements rather that supplements due to my various modern evolutionary discordances

[Steve_86]

My top 5 would be something like (in no order):
1. Cordyceps - I think this is such an underrated supplement.
2. Selegiline/Deprenyl
3. Bacopa
4. Magnesium
5. Zinc

Edited by Steve_86, 23 September 2010 - 04:58 PM.

[xdopamine]

1. Deprenyl
2. Bacopa
3. Omega 3
4. Magnesium
5. NAC

[hamishm00]

Extremely predictable but:

1. D3
2. K
3. Magnesium
4. Omega 3
5. Curcumin

Closely followed by: ALCAR, resveratrol, green tea, glisodin, tocopherols/tocotrienols, mixed berry extracts, NAC, Carnosine, Pyridoxamine, Milk Thistle, dietary fibre, Na-Rala (with co-supplementing Sam-E), Taurine.

[dosquito]

I am about to order some of LE's "super bio curcumin"...worth it? Or should I go with their one that has bioperine and is cheaper? I am excited to try curcumin, it seems people really like it. besides bacopa, which gave me diarrhea, I have found most supps to be disappointing. ashwagandha is nice, but kind of weak. rhodiola is decent. perika seems to have an appreciable effect (I'll be trying kira next), lithium did very little, lion's mane...I would try again...I think that covers it. I am also going to try NOW's gotu kola

My main symptoms are generalized anxiety (hard to relax and just have a good time) and decreased memory function (short and long term, difficulty remember names/phone numbers), and I think those two are related. I should really stick to a regular regimine of exercise and meditation, both help me a lot. I have so much potential that this darned anxiety and low level depression won't let me unlock!

I don't know about their super biocurcumin. Are those claims supported in any way? Piperine has research supporting its use with curcumin. I can't quite work out what the magic ingredient is in the biocurcumin that is supposed to increase bioavailability. At any rate, I would recommend Swanson's curcumin with piperine. I used it first - very good I thought. Right now I'm using Jarrows' without piperine and I don't find it to be very good at all.

I feel ya. I have the same issues holding me back. The anxiety is such that i get the darn butterflies in my belly even if i'm just watching some tv at home or perhaps playing a video game. Not the usual environment to get anxiety but it still occurs. I also pre worry in advance over things that really should not be worrying at all. How long did perika take to work for you and how many pills did you take a day?

Well if you take curcumin and expect to 'feel' something, you are going to be disappointed with it as well. There is nothing to 'feel' with that supplement or most supplements for that matter. If that is your expectation of a 'good' supplement, you should probably save the money.

[dosquito]

Well, I for one can definitely feel changes in my cognitive performance. It's a huge part of my identity so low cognitive function can lead to depression for me. Perhaps you are right, but I have seen reviews that state otherwise, and I'm willing to give it a shot.


Perika started working in about a week or so. I've been going at it for around 3 weeks now and I *think* it's working but the only way to be sure is if I started taking it. But I have definitely noticed some good things like being more social, episodes of feeling happy, etc. I have been taking 2 a day. If you remind me in a PM in a few weeks I'll let you know how I like kira

Pretty pricey stuff that Super Bio-Curcumin; maybe you should try Doctor's best Mervia Curcumin.

[health_nutty]

1) Lithium
2) K2 MK7
3) Pomegranate extract
4) Green Tea extract (to be taken at seperate time as pom)
5) Vitamin D3

[Rational Madman]

1. RevGenetics' Master Gene P16
2. RevGenetics' Nitro-Mx
3. Lutimax's Luteolin
4. RevGenetics' Astral Fruit-C
5. Nordic Naturals' Pro Omega D Liquid

[tintinet]

Omega 3s
Vitamin D
Resveratrol
Carnosine
Pyridoxamine
R-Lipoic Acid

I might add selegiline and metformin, but I consider them off label use prescription medications rather than supplements.

[karoloydi]

1. Curcumin
2. Resveratrol
3. Lion's Mane
4. NAC
5. Acetyl L Carnnitine

Memantine would be the top 1 on the list, but its more of a prescription medicine than a supplement.
