Anyone ever drive Methyl drive 2.0 from ANS products? It's a supposed thermogenic but I find it has very strong nootropic effects. I work at GNC and we have samples of it, and one day I took it to increase my energy cause I was feeling extremely tired.  not only did it energize me for the whole day, it enhanced my cognition like no other and improved my mood. I struggle with  poor verbal fluidity (weak memory recall), inattentiveness, and social anxiety. Methyl drive seems to help with all of those problems. My verbal fluency sky rockets, like the tip of the tongue phenomenon goes away completely and  my social anxiety is practically non-existent. In fact it even makes me want to socialize, I start hitting up my friends to see if they can hang out, I never do that normally! It also increases my sense of humor. I'm much more fun on this stuff. I've tried tons of nootropics and adhd medications, but nothing has seemed to increase my verbal fluidity, and dissipate my social anxiety quite like Methyl Drive does. It's an over the counter drug, so it's quick shocking how effective it is.

 

Weirdly enough, I've tried all the ingredients listed on the supplement facts of the supplement separately ( synephrine, yohimbine, caffeine) and all together at once, and none of them give me an effect like Methyl drive does. It makes me wonder if they're putting an ingredient in the formula that they're not listing in the supplement facts, cause surely combining all the ingredients separately I should get similar effects as I would with the original formula.

 

Anyone with ADHD PI would greatly benefit from this supplement. I have ADHD PI and it completely obliterates all the symptoms. Clears brain fog, reduces pathological mind wandering, increases memory recall speed, focus, mood and enhances verbal fluidity. Also, an amazing thing about it is that it last all day somehow. Truly fascinating supplement, I recommend everybody try it. I'm curious to see if others will have the same effects I've had.

Wow, sounds like bliss. Gonna buy heaps of this stuff, especially if it has a magic ingredient...

Your statement about this supplement being OTC but yet so powerful concerns me. As a GNC employee, no offense, you'd think you'd be familiar with the notion that a lot of these pre-workout and fat burning product manufacturers slip questionable ingredients into their supplements which they conveniently leave off of the label. This is nothing new. Just because something is available over the counter doesn't mean it is safe. Are you familiar with DS Craze? Oxy Elite Pro? I'm not even in the bodybuilding community and I've seen numerous products like these yanked from the shelves due to containing ingredients that the manufacturer failed to disclose, only to find out later on that the product had some methamphetamine analogue RC substance in it. 

 

You are playing neurological roulette with these PW and fat burning supps.  Don't underestimate the seriousness of these products just because you can walk into GNC and get them without a RX. 

[Blackkzeus]

You're absolutely right. I am familiar with a lot of OTC products containing questionable ingredients and being yanked off the market. For some reason, maybe it's because I haven't worked at GNC since summer due to leaving for college,  I forgot most of the fat burners and pre-workouts that are sold in GNC and other nutritional companies are not approved by the FDA. The whole business of pre-workouts and fat burners are not regulated. I was just so excited about about the supplement and how effective it was for diminishing my ADHD symptoms, that I completely disregarded that it might be harmfu. But I don't take it often, and I doubt it's more harmful than amphetamines, which some people take every day.

Just be careful! 

 

Let us know if your reaction changes any or how your experience with it continues to be. 

[Blackkzeus]

So, has anyone tried this stuff yet?

[allstargajo]

Well the OP did

R-beta-Methyl-PEA

 

Sounds delightfully untested and quite possibly toxic. Considering amphetamine is short for alpha-methyl-phenethylamine, I would treat this "supp" as a dangerous research chemical analogous to speed.

[Blackkzeus]

I dont know, lets not jump to any conclusions. Someone with lab connections should get this substance tested. 

[Fenix_]

I agree, I was not trying to shoot down the maker of this stuff. I just wouldn’t eat any of it until it has been properly tested.

[Blackkzeus]

Yeah, someone should seriously test this stuff out, I'm so curious to what's in it. I took it yesterday for the first time in like a month and it was absolute bliss. Nothing makes my brain move faster. I struggle with word recall normally but with this stuff the words just come out of my mouth spontaneously. I was complimented on being articulate yesterday. No one ever calls the sober me articulate except when I retain my semen for a few weeks, which is like once a year.  You're never at loss for words while on this drug, because you're ability to process information triple folds, I had at least 3 responses for everything that was said to me. This substance is literally the best nootropic i've ever tried in my life and i've tried tons of stuff.

 "A study by Graham and co-workers at the Upjohn Co., comparing a large number of β-methylphenethylamines substituted on the benzene ring showed that β-methylphenethylamine itself had 1/700 x the pressor activity of epinephrine, corresponding to ~ 1/3 the potency of amphetamine. The β-methyl compound also had ~ 2 x the broncho-dilating power of amphetamine (as measured using the isolated rabbit lung), and an LD₅₀ of 50 mg/kg (rat, i.v.).^[3]"

 

 

sounds like a weaker adderal from this small bit of knowledge. but add in caffeine and yohimbine and its likely comparable. more importantly depends on dosage.

considering piracetam with a phenyl group is like an amphetamine, if they attached this with a methyl group it could be an amphetamine. So with PEA being attached to a methyl group, I would think it's more potent, plus the product also has a synephrine analogue which was the touted replacement for the banned workout supplement ingredient DMAA (correct me if I'm wrong). I come from a bodybuilding community. I just never like those nitric oxide pre-workout boost, gives me jitters. The fact this product has caffeine which I don't like too much plus it has titanium dioxide. Might as well take meth for the great euphoria.

[Blackkzeus]

Anyone try this stuff out yet? I took it again today, and it was nothing short of brilliant. Still the best nootropic I've tried to date and I've tried practically everything.

Apparently this stuff is also present in many supplements as a seemingly innocuous extract of Acacia rigidula.  All they seem to know about it is that it raises blood pressure and heart rate.
