Discussion Ice bathing as powerful nootropic

0 Upvotes

Hello. I've watched Joe Rogan podcast, where he explains that ice bathing is one of the most powerful nootropicpics. What do you think? It really could be helpful for mental clearance and fight with anxiety. Plus as I understand it is much more effective than simple cold shower.

Bought this recently and wondering if anyone here has actually tried this blend.

It’s 450mg/mL total:

- Alcar 150mg/mL

- Choline chloride 150mg/mL

- L-carnosine 150mg/mL

I’m planning to pin 0.5mL to start, so that would be 75mg of each.

Curious if anyone has firsthand experience with it.

* What dose did you use?

* Did you actually notice anything from it?

* How often were you pinning it?

* Does the ALCAR hurt or burn with this blend?

* Any PIP after?

Experience I feel like my brain is burning all the time

2 Upvotes

I have phases:

The Nihilist - Nothing seems interesting, low energy, darkest mood.

Obsessed Maniac - I feel pretty productive, mind feels it works fast, too fast. imagination is blasting, but I feel overstimulated by the second half of the day or if left without any work. This phase needs to do something all the time. Brain feels like it's burning.

I prefer being in the maniac phase, but both are unpleasant to be in overall. And no, I'm not bipolar.

I tried using lithium orotate, but it can make me just too flat emotionally.

Discussion I’ve been taking anxiety supplements for weeks and feel nothing—how long did it take to actually work for you?

13 Upvotes

For a few weeks now, I've been taking anxiety pills in the hopes that they would help me feel calmer and more in charge. But I don't feel much different so far. I still feel anxious when I wake up and quickly get stressed out. I also act the same way I did before I started them. There hasn't been a precise moment when I thought, This is working.

For some reason, I keep hearing that supplements need time to work. This makes it hard for me to decide whether to keep taking them or stop. How long did it take for you to notice a real, long-lasting change after taking supplements for anxiety? What did you see that they were working for you?

How do you guys measure mg's (nootropics)? ±8 is very acceptable. Not particularly thrilled to use 500€ for a scale.
