hey everyone it's michael duggal i review nootropics and during this video today i'm going
to share with you three nootropics that will boost your memory consider giving these a shot these
three nootropics will help your memory get to the next level the first nootropic is bacopa maneri
which is an adaptogen meaning it's a supplement you can take to help you better handle stress
but as well it has a very significant effect on improving your memory like your short-term memory
your long-term memory your ability to recall things it's absolutely magical what it can do i
found that since i've started taking bacopa maneri i'm taking it twice per day i really don't need
to look for any other nootropics to help me boost my memory because it simply does that as for this
survey over here on the effects of nootropics on memory this surveyed 400 individuals and you can
see bacopa ranks as the fourth highest and i think this is great considering that it's not man-made
this is a naturally occurring nootropic it's a herb like i mentioned so it's relatively safe
and i think for most people provided that they're not over consuming it there's not
that many side effects that they should be concerned with and looking at examine where
we can see a nice compilation of studies shown on bacopa there were actually eight studies showing
that macopa did significantly boost the memory of the subjects that were involved in the study as
well there's improvements with decreased anxiety a decreased depression or symptoms of depression
and instances of forgetting things the way that i came across bacopa maneri was actually by accident
because i was looking for something to help me fight stress to help me fight fatigue and really
be productive like all day but what so was after i started taking bacopa within a few weeks i could
definitely notice my memory was much better i was recalling people's names better i would have
conversations with people and actually remember the conversation i had with them prior it's funny
because i'll be talking to clients and suddenly i would like remember the name of their dog or
something completely irrelevant which is one sign that bocopa was definitely working as when i took
bacopa out of my nootropic stack i could tell my memory pretty much just wasn't as it was before
and i will share with you one of my favorite studies on bacopa minari where it was a six week
trial where they actually took med students so these are already somewhat intelligent people they
were healthy by all markers and they gave them bacopa and at the end of the study what happened
was they gave these students a number of tests like a digit span backwards test a logical memory
test as well and like the study says it was known to be a measure of immediate recall and there was
a clear improvement with their working memory as well as their immediate recall of logical
material and language comprehension and again this is a unique study because they took students that
were already intelligent so this was some really encouraging information for somebody like myself
because my number one concern with nootropics for memory is that the studies are done on
people who have some sort of cognitive impairment or people who are dealing with alzheimer's here's
the form that i'm personally taking it's the synapsa version of bacopa from nootropics depot
each capsule contains 320 milligrams of bacopa maneri i'm taking that twice per day i'm taking it
once in the early afternoon like two o'clock and then again in the later portion of the day like
six o'clock and the reason why i am not taking it in the morning or taking a pre-workout is
because it can be somewhat demotivating it's very often reported that people take bacopa maneria and
they've suddenly lost their motivation they even feel a little bit tired so i'd much rather avoid
something like bacopa first thing in the morning what i really want to be in execution mode but
when i need something that will pick me up give me a boost of energy and of course it has that
magical benefit of boosting your memory that's the reason why i like taking it in the afternoon
quite honestly though i don't think that the manufacturer or the type of bokopa really matters
i've tried the synapsa i've tried the backing eyes i've tried it from different places they all seem
to have that good benefit of making you more alert helping you fight fatigue and of course improving
your memory if you were to consume bacopa fasted or in a fed state it doesn't really make too much
of a difference i practice intermittent fasting myself and i really like taking bacopa during
my fast it can also uh slightly suppress your appetite to some extent in the study
that i pointed out the subjects were taking 150 milligrams twice per day however i found
that if you are working long days like myself then bacopa taking it twice per day even a dose
like 300 milligrams per serving is really going to boost your productivity it's no wonder why
some of the best nootropic blends out there like qualiamine like mine lab pro or alpha brain they
all contain bacopa and most subjects notice once they take a nootropic blend like that that their
memory does significantly improve it's probably due to that one ingredient in bacopa meniere
moving on to the second nootropic for memory is phenylpiracetam it's very different than bacopa
both of them do boost your memory but i would say fennel price time is not probably the best thing
for a student to take because what's unique about this nootropic is that it is physically
stimulating so i like to think of fennel prostam like the master networking supplement because it's
going to give you everything it's going to give you an energy boost it's going to decrease your
anxiety levels it's going to give you a boost of courage it really is effective it's not something
you would use every single day because it is strong it's strong to the point that you can
actually have withdrawals if you take it for too many days consecutively so what i would recommend
is if you do choose to take fennel press time use it on those days where you need a memory
boost i'm not saying take it on a day when you have an exam because that's awfully risky but
maybe for somebody who's getting on stage you're attending an important meeting or some sort of
networking event that's when fennel processing can be a really good tool it's also energizing
and will really help you when you're sleep deprived a lot of biohackers really like taking
something like modafinil or adrafanil on those days when they're sleep deprived to help them
perform like their normal baseline but that's a really nice way in which you can use fennel frost
time as well as a matter of fact i think this is my favorite nootropic when i am sleep-deprived
because cognitively i'm just as sharp my memory is good i'm fighting fatigue during the later portion
of the day i'm not tired i don't really need a nap so it is really stimulating with fennel press time
do expect that it can actually keep you up at night so don't take it too close to bedtime and
the way that it boosts your memory is different than bacopa with bacopa you need to take it for
a couple weeks uh consecutively make sure that you're not missing a day without it in order for
you to see the benefits in most cases where spinal process time is more like you know you take your
fennel frost time once in the morning and you're gonna get that boost of memory that nice verbal
fluency especially for those of you who are in conversations like myself it's a real noticeable
benefit plus it doesn't have those bad headaches like you would have with modafinil so you really
want to understand the way in which phenolpractim works is that it's stimulating guys it kind of
feels like an extended release form of caffeine because it gives you that mood boost it gives you
that alertness you can even feel somewhat euphoric and being overconfident in your capabilities you
can take it either in the powder form or in the capsule form the way in which i like taking it
is i like taking it right under my tongue so i would usually take something like 100 milligrams
put it under my tongue and leave it there for 30 seconds it seems to work well for me and if you're
somebody like myself that is very sensitive to stimulants that would really recommend that you
avoid it in the afternoon together so i'm usually taking it like just about an hour
after waking up when you wake up you want to avoid stimulants so you can take advantage of that nice
natural boost of cortisol levels and then take your stimulants take your fennel frost time you
can mix it with caffeine but be safe i would only do that like pre-workout so i can get the benefits
of caffeine as far as improving my workout my athletic performance my power output but during
the later portion of the day i would not use caffeine i would avoid it you don't really need it
and if you were to take caffeine along with fennel frost time you can be kind of over stimulated to
the point where you're too distracted some of the most common side effects of taking fennel prostime
are insomnia irritability some people do feel an uncomfortably high heart rate but the biggest
surprise with fennel press time honestly the first time i took it about seven hours afterwards
i needed to get up and just go for a run it is so physically stimulating like it's hard to contain
sometimes and for that reason it can be a little bit distracting so you want to make sure that you
have your a list of priorities or at least know what your schedule is for the rest of the day
before you ingest your phenylprostam and nootropic number three for boosting your memory is piracetam
this is process time powder this and bacopa are my absolute favorites for improving your memory brass
time was the first nootropic that i took about 12 years ago when i was a student getting my business
degree i started taking process time honestly i wasn't too sure if it was doing anything but i
did have faith in it i used it every single day for about three months and when i took it out of
my nootropic stack i could definitely tell that press time was in fact boosting my memory i just
couldn't tell and after several years of taking time on taking time off it's clear that price time
will give you a significant memory boost just be mindful though that you do need to take this every
single day you do have to take it with the choline source so you got to have some faith in perhaps
time it's not like fennel press time and that with fennel prostime you take it once and you can feel
the effect throughout the whole day very unlikely will you feel press tab working you have to give
it a couple weeks and although what you can get from it aside from just the memory boost is it
increases motivation you'll have better focus a lot of people with adhd really like crosstalk
and i find that like i have much clearer thinking and even creative thinking it seems like the best
thing for productivity because it allows me to like have this tunnel vision to the point
that i can remove distractions and really be in alignment with my highest priorities press time
doesn't really have the best reputation as far as it being a nootropic because most of the research
done on this nootropic shows that it's effective for elder people or for people who are getting
into alzheimer's like early alzheimer's but when it comes to younger individuals it's not like
bacopa with bacopa we have research suggesting it's good for healthy young individuals not really
with piracetam so for that reason i mean i don't feel like it gets the attention that it deserves
but practice time can definitely do things that bacopa can't because when it comes to productivity
like i mentioned with bacopa you can feel a little bit tired you can feel a little bit lethargic so
you may want to consider avoiding bacopa in the morning but not with press time it's going to make
you super productive whether it's getting better grades maybe if you're somebody that trades stocks
if you're a real estate agent or you're in sales prostime is like a good all-around fundamental
nootropic four-year stack you'll even find that once you start taking brass time it's like
all the rest of your nootropics start to work a lot better that's been my experience and i found
that when i mix prastine with some of the other rastatoms like anarasatam they have this nice
synergistic effect do understand how to take perastam though it's a little bit tricky it's
not like the other nootropics that you can just take once and notice them working or you can take
independently press for about 80 of people will only work when you take it with choline or a
choline source choline is a nutrient for the brain that's found in egg yolk it's responsible for a
lot of the processes related to cognition although most people are not getting enough through their
diet so what i would recommend is that you have prostam along with choline some popular forms
of choline include choline bitartrate cvp choline and alpha gpc my favorite is alpha gpc i've talked
about it in depth in this video over here and the way in which i would take prastam is one gram
along with 200 milligrams of alpha gpc two or three times per day i would say three times
per day maybe if you're somebody who works very long hours you do want to keep in mind that with
this nootropic be really consistent otherwise it's just a waste of money it should be about two weeks
for you to start notice the benefits as far as improved focus and a really improved memory you're
just able to absorb so much more information those are my three favorite nootropics for memory
of course do consult with your doctor before trying anything new when it comes to supplements
comment below i want to know what your favorite nootropic is for boosting your memory consider
