Are nootropics the only way to get into the zone? Not at all! But in addition to helping me get there, many are packed with other beneficial vitamins and minerals that help with well-being and cognition.
Nootropic Stacks for Easy Consumption and Additional Firepower and Focus
This list, as with the vitamin and nootropic supplements earlier in the chapter, is by no means exhaustive. These are the stacks that I experienced measurable benefits from and continue to use to this day. There were other supplements I tested that had little impact. I have omitted them because my personal experience may not be reflective of the response you may experience when using them. Just as in personalizing your diet to improve your energy, increase your brain function, and power your battery, you must also determine the nootropics and nootropic stacks that work best for you.
Now let’s dive into the world of nootropic stacks.
Qualia by Neurohacker Collective: Enhance Focus, Energy, Mood, and Creativity
I was skeptical about taking Qualia because, at first glance, it was as if they had thrown everything in there but the kitchen sink. It contains 40 nutrients, all aimed at enhancing focus, energy, mood, and creativity. But looking over its countless reviews, I could see it had developed a cult-like following of fans espousing its greatness.
I reached out to Neurohacker and secured an interview with Daniel Schmachtenberger, a senior member of the Qualia team, evolutionary philosopher, systems designer, and strategist. Daniel, a scruffy-looking fellow with untamed dark hair, graying beard, and intellect that could match those of the world’s top scientists, dove into the philosophy behind the product. I’m glad I had taken Qualia before the interview, so I could keep up with him. Daniel expressed concern at reductionist approaches to nootropics. He explained there are too many findings and mechanisms, but no meta-analysis of the complex interactions that make up the whole. Meta-analysis is a statistical analysis that combines the results of multiple scientific studies. Neurohacker Collective had to bring together all the scientific research in their approach to developing Qualia to prevent any serious side effects, due to the impact each of the 40 ingredients has on one another. The ingredients had to work synergistically together to achieve the intended outcome. When I asked Daniel how to assist someone who was struggling to find the cognition and motivation to solve issues that were impacting their mental performance, he said:
One of the reasons that we got into the field of nootropics was when people were working on complex illnesses, there’s [so much they have to do], but even having the motivation and cognitive clarity to do [it], it’s actually harder because they have this negative feedback loop. If they can enhance their capacity to perform, then they can actually do the things necessary for deeper underlying well-being. That’s on the negative side. On the positive side are people who are already doing everything they need to for their well-being, so we can enhance what the top of their baseline could be.
