One of those disturbing things about nootropics is that people frequently stack a large number of them so the effects of any particular one is unclear.
There are also questions about what exactly a substance is.
Years ago I bought a tub of Piracetam that felt a little bit like that stuff in the movie Limitless. No Piracetam I bought afterwards felt that way so I wonder if I'd really gotten something more like amphetamine.

Years ago, I bought some Piracetam when I was traveling in Asia. One of my relatives, who's an MD, didn't want me to take it and did some research in actual medical databases. IIRC, he said pretty all the articles praising it traced back to a single study.
I experimented with nootropics in the past and currently I just stick to vitamin D3 + K2 + Omega 3 (DHA/EPA). In case I need to focus I just add 300/600mg of Alpha GPC (but I don't use it frequently, once I start to become irritable it means there's enough acetylcholine in my brain).
I have more than a few neurological issues. I have 3 medication induced movement disorders. I also have 2 rare immune mediated neurological diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system.
Anyways, the stuff I take is to ensure adequate nutrients for my brain. But the primary goal is for neuroregeneration over the long term.
I get the co-ultramicronized palmitoylethalinomide + Luteolin from http://epitech.it, but you have to use a package forwarding service to mail to US (they don’t ship to US, even though it is Italy based and 100% legal)
As I said, I am not interested at all in nootropics or peptides. It is basically all antioxidants/natural neuroregenerative compound/omega fatty acids.
Reddit r/peptides and r/nootropics like a lot of these substances. Also u/Misteryouaresodumb of NootropicsDepot is a wealth of knowledge. There’s a long tail of YouTube and other sources you’ll find from there.
