Find out what drugs you can take to improve your bodybuilding performance without resorting to illegal drugs and anabolic steroids. This article will provide an overview of the best bodybuilding stimulants to boost brain activity. Everything that will be written below is the result of my own experience with their application.
Piracetam
This drug has a mild effect on the body if used in an amount of at least 400 milligrams. When comparing Nootropil (Belgium), Lucetam (Hungary) and the drug from the domestic company Akrihin, the latter should be preferred, since the strength of its effect was higher. This is probably due to the form of release - capsules. Foreign drugs are produced in tablet form. We also note that when using all these drugs, there was an itching and burning sensation in the eyes.
Phenotropil
In comparison with the previous drug, Phenotropil turned out to be stronger. Its effect can be compared to coffee, but it lasts for six hours. The disadvantages of the drug include a fairly quick addiction of the body.
Ladasten
No stimulating effect was observed when using the drug. Most likely, this is due to the individual reaction of the body, but when using Ladasten, a feeling of relaxation appeared.
Amino acid compounds
Amino acid complexes turned out to be quite effective, despite the seemingly low concentration of active substances. It should be said right away that the drugs were inexpensive, belonging to the budget segment.
Several amino acid compounds are of great importance for the brain:
- Phenylalanine and tyrosine are building materials for the synthesis of dopamine and melatonin.
- Tryptophan is a raw material for the production of serotonin.
- Methionine - helps to reduce depression.
Vitamins
When using a complex of vitamins and minerals, you should choose the most effective form of release for yourself. In this case, dissolving tablets were used, which showed themselves from the best side. The maximum effect was achieved when using the Supradin complex from Bayer.
Ginseng
Has a slight stimulating effect and activates the adrenal glands. The body quickly gets used to taking ginseng, and for this reason, it is worth taking only two courses during the year.
Eleutherococcus
It is a herbal stimulant and it should be said right away that it is worth purchasing only foreign drugs. Domestic Eleutherococcus has a low concentration of the active ingredient and the effect is possible when half a bottle is consumed at once.
St. John's wort
The experiment involved drugs from two manufacturers: Deprim Forte (Slovenia) and Neuroplant (Germany). The effect was somewhat better after using the second drug, but still it was rather weak. Deprim had a hypnotic effect, not a stimulating one.
Carnitine
It relieved fatigue quite well, however, in combination with coffee. Perhaps the main merit here belongs to the aromatic black drink.
Creatine
The monohydrate was used, which was also effective for stimulating brain activity. This property of creatine has been proven in research and has now been confirmed through practical experience.
Lecithin
The effect was not found and there is no sense in its application. If you decide to try it, then it is better to take the drug from foreign manufacturers.
Yohimbine
Has proven itself as an aphrodisiac and has proven to be completely useless as a stimulant. Sports food is available in domestic stores, but in some states it has been banned due to its negative effect on the liver.
Here are all the drugs I wanted to talk about today. Now we can summarize some of the results. I would like to say right away that all the most effective stimulants, for example, Modafinil or Ritaliv, are prohibited in our country. You can find analogues of Modafinil, but their cost is not justifiably overstated.
Perhaps the best stimulants in Russia are coffee and dark chocolate. Before you start using stimulants, it is best to review your nutritional program. It is possible that there are serious flaws in it, and when they are eliminated, the body will not need stimulation. If your work is related to mental work, then special attention in the diet should be paid to protein compounds, and also to reduce the use of simple carbohydrates. Try to diversify your protein sources by using different foods. Amino acid complexes can be very effective. You should also remember about vitamins and antioxidants.
