If there was something that greatly increased performance, you, your mom and (nearly) everyone else would know about it and take it already.
So far, that's mostly limited to stimulants, with caffeine being one of the most used drugs worldwide. It's not some well kept secret, you don't have to look out for it, it's everywhere (coffee, soft drinks, energy drinks, pre-workout products, it's the main ingredient of every gamer-goo mix). It's popular because it evidently works.
Spending a ton of money on very questionable nootropics is probably not that smart though!

- gunfighthacksaw 4y agoBack in 2011 you could spend less than $20CAD and get enough noopept powder for months and months. Tastes like shit though (imagine the most bitter thing you’ve ever had x10) so I’d recommend shelling out more for gelcaps, or make them yourself.
- neurocat123 4y agoI recently (2021) saw a TV ad on a Russian-language channel for noopept, during a visit to Moldova. It included a slow-motion happy family. Looks like it's gone mainstream by now (at least in some parts of the world).
- gunfighthacksaw 4y agoI know Russia and Romania have strong orientation towards math+programming in their culture. Would not surprise me if Moldova does too, and noopept is the ‘Viagara’ to this particular activity.
