disclaimer + info
this document is not medical advice. i advise you do your own research.
some of the compounds listed below are not intended for human consumption. they are intended for “research purposes only”. these will be marked with an “lab use only” by their name.
i do not recommend compounds that (to a high degree) risk dependency, have neurodestructive side effects, or are supported by highly limited/ superficial/ narrow research. this does not mean the compounds listed in this document are completely safe. reaction and efficacy of any substance is individual, and while safe for some it may in rare cases have adverse side effects for others. we include the known side effects in the spreadsheet under “ side effects + solution”.
i recommend cycling 1 week off all psychoactive compounds and doing a full blood panel once every 6 months [not at the same time].
the sources listed in this document have been vetted and tested. some vendors offer affiliate programs, a few of which i am enrolled in. this means that if you purchase something through one of the links, i may get a small commission at no cost to you. however, it is important to know that this does not bias me towards my recommendations. everything i link, i personally use. do not purchase from unverified vendors. over 89% of supplements are not within 10% of the label dosage, or do not contain the active ingredient at all. there’s a lot of scammers in this industry. don’t be a victim.
please do not message me asking if the listed vendors are legit. if you want to verify, just google “vendor name reddit” to read up on more anecdotal reports from buyers. the below vendors are my personal preferences. i have ordered from them all.

- headache → hydrate more, ideally electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, potassium). always take alpha-gpc 300 mg at ingestion. for some, headaches come even with proper hydration. they usually stop (permanently) after 7-14 days.
- muscle tension/ neck rigidity → proper hydration (replenishing electrolytes), movement, stretching, you can also experiment with lower dosages.
- may decrease the effectiveness of orally administered hormonal birth control
- international will be cheapest but may be seized by customs (they will reship or refund if this happens), i recommend buying domestic and paying the premium.
- modawhale can be slow in communication and processing sometimes. do not be alarmed.
- my all-time favorite brand is modvigil.
- always pair with alpha-gpc to replenish choline, 300 mg every time you take it.

- modawhale can be slow in communication and processing sometimes. do not be alarmed.
- personally i find armodafinil to be slightly more stimulating than modafinil, in the sense that it can produce a very slight euphoria during the first 1-3 hours the first few times you use it.
- always pair with alpha-gpc to replenish choline, 300 mg every time you take it. another 300 mg if you get a headache.

→ #2 days can switch noopept + phenylpiracetam to fasoracetam, semax or bromantane
→ keep in mind this is what works best for me after exhaustive testing. you should still isolate compounds when finding out what works best for yourself.
