Adaptogenic Herbs

Biohacker Review: "Pharmaceutical Grade" Bacopa

I put Pharmaceutical Grade in quotation marks because there's not really such a thing as pharmaceutical-grade herbs and Adaptogens, but I use the phrase because it's known to mean of the highest quality and purity. This is super important with Bacopa in particular. You'll want to read or listen to my meta-analysis of Bacopa before purchasing or consuming this.

Another Eastern historical Nootropic, best used in combination with Bacopa. It's a medium-term Biohack that, after a few weeks of dosing, enhances cognition, attention, and memory along with an anti-anxiety effect that imbues a modicum of spiritual enlightenment.

An adaptogenic medicinal herb of mythological potency for increasing stamina and a profound sense of well-being.

A Chinese herb and historical aphrodisiac for both sexes, also known by the significantly less impressive name Epimedium.

Also called Rowdy Lamb Herb, it earned these well-deserved names after Chinese herders, no doubt very bored, observed their goats and sheep becoming quite a bit friskier after feeding on it.

Biohacker Review: Tinctured Ashwagandha for Tranquility

This is an alcohol tincture infused with the active components of Ashwagandha. A dropperful, which is a squeeze of the dropper, produces a relaxed but not necessarily drowsy headspace.

Biohacker Review: An Herbal Alternative to Melatonin

Ashwagandha is the anxiolytic Adaptogen; all of the Adaptogens make your body better at handling stress, but Ashwagandha is probably the best. If you have a problem with stress or anxiety, Ashwagandha is for you! I've been using this Ashwagandha from Organic India for about 2 months now. This is a review of my subjective experiences with Ashwagandha...

Biohacker Review: Siberian Ginseng will bring out the Genghis Khan in you!

This is my review of Eleuthero by Superman Herbs, which is now called Lost Empire Herbs, which is actually a rebranding that I dislike. I'll explain why later.

I've been using Eleuthero (often referred to as Siberian Ginseng), which is a performance-enhancing herb, for a little over a year now; this 100-gram package has lasted me that long, which is pretty impressive! There are a lot of herbal performance enhancement millage from a supplement that costs about $40.

This natural Nutraceutical Nootropic from Brazil is dope!

This traditional medicinal Nutraceutical, also known as Trichilia Catigua, is native to the rainforests of northern Brazil, where it has been used since time immemorial as a natural herbal libido enhancer. It's pronounced properly with a bit of South American flourish, Cat-ooh-ahh-bah. It's a full-spectrum Dopaminergic Nootropic that's especially enhancing when stacked with the cofactor Muira Puama.

Eleutherococcus Senticosus is another historical Nootropic known for "invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, tonifying kidney to relieve mental strain" in traditional Chinese medicine.

It's a classic adaptogen that modulates our hormones and many subtleties of how our biology responds to internal and external stressors. Commonly just referred to as Eleuthero.
