Only intellectuals will understand how challenging this is.
l-theanine obliterates anxiety and stress by stimulating GABA levels, decreasing cortisol and increasing alpha brain wave activity
everyone should take it everyday, women especially.
and the golden rule of cognitive enhancement... whatever you're taking, it's probably 2x better if you stack it with l-theanine.
saffron extract can potentiate your synthetic cognitive enhancers 2x AND act as a strong standalone cognitive enhancer by stimulating dopamine, acetylcholine and BDNF
it's one of the most underutilized natural compounds.
→ modulates the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine (neurotransmitters for mood, focus and attention)
→ inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down acetylcholine (which is crucial for attention, learning, and memory)
→ Reduces neuroinflammation (major contributors to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases)
→ neurotrophic support (stimulate the expression of bdnf (bdnf is a vital protein for the survival of existing neurons and the growth of new ones (neurogenesis), playing critical roles in learning, memory, cognitive health)
another HEAVILY underrated compound. i love stacking it with modafinil. the neuroprotection is a huge bonus.
if sourcing, make sure it contains safranal.
