Bromantane is a nootropic compound initially developed in Russia during the 1970s, recognized for its potential to enhance cognitive and physical performance without significantly increasing oxygen consumption or heat production. Classified as an actoprotector, it was originally designed for military applications to improve soldiers’ endurance and mental resilience in stressful conditions.[1,2] Its unique pharmacological properties have sparked interest in the wider community as a cognitive enhancer and mood stabilizer, making it notable within the realm of nootropics.

The mechanism of action for bromantane is complex; it primarily enhances dopaminergic activity, which contributes to mood improvement and energy boosts while exhibiting anxiolytic effects that differentiate it from traditional stimulants that can induce anxiety.[3.4]
Users report benefits including increased energy, improved cognitive functions such as memory and attention, and an overall uplift in mood, particularly in individuals with conditions like depression and ADHD.[1,5] Additionally, its neuroprotective properties — evidenced by its ability to reduce oxidative stress and enhance the release of neurotrophic factors — suggest that bromantane may play a role in supporting long-term cognitive health.[4]

Despite its promising profile, bromantane’s use is not without controversy. It is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) due to its performance-enhancing capabilities, which raises ethical concerns in competitive sports.[6,7]
Moreover, while bromantane is approved for use in Russia under the commercial name Ladasten, it lacks FDA approval in the U.S.A., leading to ambiguity regarding its legal status and safety for widespread use in various populations.[5,6]
Although anecdotal reports from users highlight its effectiveness for enhancing mood and cognitive performance, there remains a significant need for rigorous clinical studies to substantiate these claims and address potential long-term safety issues.[5,6]
As research on bromantane continues to evolve, it presents a fascinating case within the field of cognitive enhancement, balancing its promising benefits against the backdrop of regulatory challenges and the necessity for further empirical validation.

L-arginine and caffeine

L-arginine and caffeine

I asked ChatGPT the following question:

I experience severe discomfort without any specific diagnosed diseases or injuries. When I take 6g of arginine jelly and a 200mg caffeine caplet, I feel completely fine after about 30 minutes. Does this make sense, or could it just be a placebo effect?

ChatGPT’s answer is:

This reaction can indeed make sense, as both L-arginine and caffeine can have physiological effects that might temporarily alleviate feelings of discomfort or low energy.

  1. L-arginine Effects: Arginine is an amino acid that helps increase nitric oxide production, which can improve blood flow and enhance oxygen delivery to tissues. This process can lead to feelings of improved energy or reduced fatigue, which may contribute to your overall sense of relief.
  2. Caffeine Effects: Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that can improve alertness, reduce perceived fatigue, and elevate mood temporarily. The 200mg dose is considered moderate and can boost energy levels, often providing relief if discomfort is related to low energy or mental fog.
  3. Placebo Factor: While these effects are likely real and based on the substances’ mechanisms, the placebo effect could still play a role, especially if your body has come to expect relief from this combination. The mere anticipation of feeling better can amplify the effects, making the combination feel even more effective.

In summary, it’s plausible that both physiological effects and placebo may be contributing to the relief you experience.

L-Tyrosine

L-Tyrosine

from https://examine.com/supplements/l-tyrosine


amino acid

metabolized to produce catecholamines such as dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE)
taken as a supplement to help increase catecholamine levels depleted during stressful or challenging conditions

used in the production of thyroid hormones

benefits

related to its ability to replenish catecholamine levels in the brain,
which can become depleted under stressful conditions

Multiple studies have demonstrated
that L-tyrosine can help to prevent declined cognitive function under stressful, cognitively demanding conditions

Although it has not been shown to improve memory under resting conditions,
L-tyrosine supplementation has been shown to alleviate reduced memory under acutely stressful conditions.

Overall L-tyrosine appears to be safe and well-tolerated at moderate doses,
with one 2-week human trial using a dose of 2500 mg, provided three times per day,
and another trial using single doses of up to 150 mg/kg of body weight (around 10,000 mg for a 68 kg/150 lb individual),
both with no adverse effects.

drawbacks

Although L-tyrosine has shown beneficial effects in some studies,
it has a mixed track record for efficacy,
with some studies failing to observe positive effects on cognition.

This may be partially explained by the fact that L-tyrosine increases catecholamine synthesis only when catecholamine levels are depleted, limiting efficacy to sufficiently stressful or challenging conditions. Efficacy may also vary in different individuals, as highlighted by one study that found that the effects of L-tyrosine on cognitive function become detrimental with older age.

There are also possible contraindications for L-tyrosine supplementation in people with hyperthyroidism or anyone taking L-dopa or monoamine oxidase inhibitors. If this applies to you, consult with your physician before supplementing with L-tyrosine.

works

used in the body to make the catecholamines dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE),
which can become depleted under stressful or cognitively challenging conditions.

After supplementation,
L-tyrosine levels in the blood peak after one to two hours,
and stay elevated for up to eight hours.

then passes through the blood-brain barrier,
where it is absorbed by brain cells and converted in a series of enzymatic reactions to DA,
which can be converted to NE through the action of another enzyme.

The ability of L-tyrosine to enhance catecholamine synthesis only in neurons that are actively firing
may explain its ability to reverse the effects of neurotransmitter depletion during stress

dosage

tends to be taken in doses of 500–2000 mg
approximately 30–60 minutes before any acute stressor (this tends to be exercise)

Studies in humans showing
most anti-stress promise for acute supplemental L-Tyrosine use a dosage range of 100–150 mg/kg of bodyweight which can be taken 60 minutes before exercise; this is a dosage range of 9–13.5 g for a 200 lb person and 7–10 g for a 150 lb person.

If using higher doses and finding digestive issues,
this may be split into two doses separated by half an hour (30 and 60 minutes prior to acute stress).
