Limited Labs
Limited Labs hooked me up with some free samples of their new product Dragon and promised to send along some Phoenix samples as well upon release. I received a quick response when I asked for research which immediately bolstered my opinion of the company overall.
This is hands down the best cognitive enhancement pill I have ever taken. I was genuinely astounded by how well this worked. I took the black and white pills and they were surprisingly easy to swallow. They had no smell or flavor. I had the normal ~4hr boost from the caffeine but it was more powerful than caffeine alone. The most amazing part is that the overall alertness and cognitive benefits lasted throughout the rest of the day (7am until around 8pm). Also worth noting is I did not wake up the next day exhausted. Sometimes if I take in a lot of caffeine, sugar, or weird stimulants, I feel it the next day. This product made me feel better the next day if anything.
Caffeine and Teacrine
Caffeine is an adenosine receptor antagonist and so is theacrine(Teacrine). Without getting too detailed, Teacrine will act the same as caffeine but with less detrimental effects and other beneficial effects of being anti-inflammatory and aiding sleep (1, 5, 6, 7).Cognizin Citicoline
Cognizin citicoline has many observed benefits: increased motor speed and attention, increases Brain Energy (ATP) by 14% and Speeds up Formation of Brain Membranes by 26% in Healthy Adults, phospholipid synthesis and turnover stimulation, appetite modulation, protective effects during hypoxia, and many other benefits in rat models. Future research is warranted to find out even more benefits this awesome supplement may provide (2)Coluracetam & Phenylpiracetam
From what I could find after briefly searching, research on piracetam is complicated and still in development. One research article explained its neuroprotective effects (3).Sulbutiamine
This is basically thiamine aimed right at your brain. This specific form can get inside your brain more easily and be used by your brain cells (4). It has also been shown to help prevent neuronal cell death as a result of serum deprivation (8).
I am gradually adding more research.
