in this video I'm gonna talk about the most common nootropic dangers nootropics are a type
of smart drug which can basically enhance your brain and your cognitive abilities and make you
think better if you've seen the film limitless you'll be familiar with you know Bradley Cooper
when he takes that limitless pill you've all seen that tiny little limitless pill if you haven't
gone watch the film it's really good and when he takes this pill he's able to do incredible
things with his brain he's able to learn things much faster than normal he's able to remember
anything that's ever happened to him and he's able to sort of bring these things together and
create an incredible life in a very short period of time he basically just changes everything about
its life and improves everything he learns how to make money really quickly so new topics are
good in general ok they can help you boost your brain power now the brain power you're
currently using is not as good as it could be our brains are like machines and so if we feed
them the right fuel in terms of nutrition and food water and getting enough sleep that is gonna make
them sort of perform better now once you're at that level once you're you know eating properly
you're sleeping for eight or nine hours a night and you're exercising and all of those normal
things that you should be doing once those things are in place you can actually go beyond that an
extra 10 or 20 percent or even more and boost your brainpower to a super high level where you'll like
the guy from limitless or you know any other kind of super clever really intelligent person that you
can imagine and you can do this with this type of smart drug called nootropics but there are
some dangers to nootropics there are some risks or things that you want to worry about especially if
you're new to this and you're just thinking oh wow I want to become like limitless or bradley
cooper or somebody like that and you have no idea how any of this works and you're not even
taking a supplement like a multivitamin if you just jump straight in and start taking a crazy
amount of nootropics you're gonna have some pretty bad side effects and i need to say this right now
okay none of this is medical advice do your own research okay I'm not a medical adviser or
anything like that I have had a lot of experience with nootropics and I've been taking them for
about seven years or more now so I kind of know what I'm talking about in terms of what to watch
out for but I'm not gonna go into the technical neuroscience and everything like that in this
video basically for beginners for people who know nothing or who are very new to nootropics here
is what I would suggest you do okay firstly don't take new topics unless you already have that high
level of health unless you're already exercising daily meditating sleeping well drinking enough
water and eating a good diet no amount of neutral is gonna help you if all of that stuff is screwed
up okay you can't expect it to do to work miracles okay you need to have a base level of health and
mental performance first and then you can boost that with a nootropic so once you've got that in
order or assuming you're just gonna jump straight in and ignore what I just said there are some new
try because you want to try out and some that you want to steer away from a beginning okay so
firstly and this is kind of the easiest kind of win the low-hanging fruit for most of you if you
just take a caffeine supplement and if you take a caffeine supplement with l-theanine that's what
the day you nootropic is called that is going to have a profound effect on your performance
and your mental capacity most of us are familiar with the effects of coffee okay coffee makes us
feel good it's sort of energizes you and makes you more focus but what usually happens is you'll have
the coffee your focus will go way up here and then very quickly after about half an hour or
so your focus will drop and you'll need another cup of coffee and so you're over the course of
a day you'll experience like a rise and then a drop a rise and then a drop and this will keep
happening until you go to sleep or if you have too much coffee you can't sleep right but that's
another story what else feeling does it balances out the effects of the caffeine so you take the
caffeine with the l-theanine and that makes the effects or the caffeine last longer and instead
of having a big rise in the drop you experience a more steady kind of higher level of performance
all day instead of just for one hour and then you need another cup of coffee it's a really effective
new try pick a stack okay a stack is when you combine more than one nootropic so in this case
we're combining caffeine and l-theanine if you combine those two there's a very little chance
of anything going wrong however this is about the dangers of nootropics the risks okay so just doing
that is fine for beginners in most cases however if you then start going in and taking something
like modafinil or any of the other things like that you're going to experience side effects
okay and those side effects will be quite annoying and they can be quite severe in some people what
I would suggest to avoid those side effects just start with something really simple like
l-theanine caffeine very simple nootropic stat okay now the danger is that if you jump in and
take so many nootropics that you don't even know how they interact you firstly don't know which
one is giving you the results good or bad and secondly they're going to interact either good
or bad with each other in a good or bad way you might find that let's say if you take quality on
mind with let's say opt in euro or mind a pro or something you might find that they interact badly
or that there is such a high level of one vitamin or nutrient in both these things that when you
combine them together you get way too much of a particular nutrient or vitamin and this is going
to put your entire body out of balance there are side effects associated with high levels
or to high levels of some specific vitamins so you need to bear that in mind okay don't
do that don't go and take so many nootropics that you don't know the interactions here is how you
avoid that danger journal how things go so write down how you're getting on with each particular
nootropic and only test one thing at a time so let's say if you want to dedicate let's say two
weeks to each nootropic dedicate two weeks of the first one write down each day how you feel and how
you perform and then stop taking that one and then start taking the second one and the third and so
on you don't want to test everything at the same time because how are you going to know which one
is having a good or bad effect on you you have no idea another really big danger of nootropics is
that you become dependent on them or you build up a tolerance now this is mostly found with things
that contain caffeine however not always it can be the case with other supplement ingredients as
well here is how you avoid that danger okay and by tolerance I mean you need to take more and
more of them to actually get the same effect and you get to the point where you can't even perform
at a normal level without taking the nootropic you do not want to get to that point as with
any supplement or nootropic you do not want to become dependent on that nootropic you want it
to give you a boost when you want it you might not want it all the time so you want to make sure that
it's not gonna build up a tolerance or you know it's going to become dependent on the nootropic
so here's how you do that firstly only stick to the recommended dosage don't try and increase
this to try and beat the system or you know hack yourself unless you really really know what you're
doing because in most cases you're just gonna have side effects and it's gonna be a bad time
okay so just stick with the recommended dosage chill out and just take it one step at a time
secondly make sure that you if it's a caffeine based supplement cycler okay so don't take it
every single day take it on weekdays or take it for the first three weeks of the month every day
and then you have a week off the most common use and this is what I've been doing is to take it
only on weekdays so that you have that break every single week you only have it for five days and
then you have two days to reset your mean system very important that you do that so anyway that's
been the biggest dangers of nootropic I hope you understand and I hope you can avoid these now this
video isn't over yet because I want to explain one really powerful new topic that I consider to
be the best or at least one of the best new joy pics out there and that is mind lab Pro I have
a link in the description where you can go and get it and learn more there is basically over
10 ingredients in this thing each one of them is really backed by science they have studies showing
this third party peer-reviewed studies showing the increases in performance memory capabilities
articulation all of this stuff people all around the world use this a new topic because it's so
effective people like chess grandmasters you know lecturers scientists and people who want to
increase their brain capacity and ability to do things with their mind and body really powerful
supplement it does not contain caffeine so you can't build up a tolerance to it so there's no
side effects and no bad side to mind lab Pro so like I said check that out in the description and
I'd love to hear your experience with nootropic so leave a comment and I'll see you next time
