Hi fun2learn,
I am really interested in shaping body and mind by nutrition. The whole topic of nootropics is fascinating. Although I am hasitating. Some of the nootropics seem a bit close too amphetamins to me and all in all it is hard to get reliable informations.
If anyone wants to start using some, I think he or she should rather contact a specialist than the dealer who has an interest in selling them. Which brings another problem: It is hard to find specialists for that. I am a Chemist and did my phd in organic chemistry synthesising pharmaceutical active substances and I feel rather incompetent in this matter. I think you would need a specialised pharmacist or physician.
A much softer approach to that matter would be to check your nutrition for a deficiency of minerals or amino acids. For example a deficit of zinc could make you tired or to fiew L-Tryptophane can induce depression.
I think, it is important to talk more about this topic, thank you for your nice post.
