Adrafinil has gained popularity in recent years due to its similarity to Modafinil. Adrafinil is treated like a dietary supplement in the United States meaning you can buy it without a prescription. In terms of chemical structure, Adrafinil is just like Modafinil with the addition of an OH (hydroxyl group) to the amide nitrogen, forming a hydroxylamine.

Adrafinil is a prodrug for Modafinil. This means that it’s converted to modafinil in the body, which is the biologically active agent. Only a fraction of Adrafinil is converted to Modafinil, with the remainder being metabolized to the inactive modafinilic acid.

In short, Adrafinil is not quite as robust as Modafinil. It is an inefficient and indirect way of producing Modafinil in the body, and requires higher doses to achieve a similar effect.

And it your liver doing all the heavy lifting!

this seems reasonable, but you gotta wonder, what foods make you dumber?

Hi, I always reach for chocolate I'm thinking about a problem.

Sounds scary. Last thing we want are the populations idiots becoming greater idiots.

But AI has the numbers, humans would have to be fully networked to compete, so much so that they would basically be computers.

Yes and that's why there is no Artifical in AI, it alll comes from human intelligence and will continue to interact with it, the synthesis will always be some part of it.

Just re-read this post stoned and now I see what you mean however you could just as easily say that something closer to what we think of as AI made human intelligence before this.

depressing to see the vitamin salesman coming into the space.

Where have you been amigo? The supplement hustlers have been around since day 1, this stuff might develop in university labs but somebody has to bring it to market.

It can't be called a nootropic if its toxic or addictive.

nootropic are substances engineered to enhance the human brain in a sustainable and healthy manner. in order to avoid some of the jargon and confusion that comes with chemistry, brainX further classifies nootropics into 5 health safety categories, basically from eggs to monafodil. stimulants such as amphetamines are off the chart.

1 diet engineeringyou are likely to be consuming this substance already unless you have an allergic condition, this is just consuming more of certain foods or basic vitamins.
2 concentrated vitamins and minerals
substances extracted from foods
3 chemically engineered without side effects
these can be taken every dayeg piracetam4 chemically engineered with side effects or addictive potential
these should be used short -term onlyeg. modafonil, nefiracetam

yes it is legal everywhere on earth as far as I know.

i have just spent 4 weeks in the starter stack(s), first with paracetam. it's basically like a vitamin, seems benign but has no obvious benefits right away. they say it takes several weeks for effects and if there is a problem with this otherwise excellent starter approach it's that the effects of a slower nootropic are destined to be masked if you keep up another nootropic in the stack. the only alternative i can see would be to stretch out the program while the user is getting almost no feedback and that wouldn't be too sustainable for most people.

second week we started nooepept, brainX says this is the nootrpoic for poets. if this is the case you can call me pushkin because i will be into this russian beauty every morning for the rest of my life. it's less than a teaspoon of powder which for me had almost immediate effects, energy and mind-loosening being the best description i can come up with while not under it's influence. effects seem to last most of the day though the immediate effect is much stronger. i have no idea about longer term effects beyond some reassuring things ive seen online. brainX said i had a high sensitivity to this one but that's not rare.

he also gave me 4 monafodils, more pharmaceutical, less science projecty "focus agents". he said i should try these if i had a hangover or deadline but if i had both i should still only use one. these kind of pills are not my thing, i do not like aderall or ridlin or most things coming out of the big pharma so i still have only tried 1. that said it was a very positive experience, and in many ways less druggy feeling than caffeine. it reaches a deeper part of the brain imho and lets you lock into what you are doing rather than bounce around like you had 4 coffees. the most impressive act is the quiescence, though the effect lasts nearly the whole day, it does not leave you with jitters or really anything i could notice. i'm sure much of what i experienced would change for multiple doses.

sorry this is our only littleBiggy offer at the moment. however check out acuity.

acuity does not have it but we do :)

no shameless friend you have manafodil, she is looking to avoid it.

haha
