2 oz Qualia Nootropic Energy Shot 6-pack

1. Alpinia Galangal Root Extract

According to the WebMD, this extract is useful for managing muscle spasms, fevers, bacterial infections, swelling, and intestinal gas. But to-date, the WebMD cautions, there’s inadequate scientific proof to support any of those uses.

The team at Neurohacker Collective, on the other hand, claims to have conducted a clinical study that demonstrated Alpinia’s mental alertness enhancing effects. We’re not big fans of studies sponsored by commercial institutions and so we’d take such proof with a measure of salt.

2. American Ginseng Root Extract

Also known as Panax qunquefolius, this is a well-known nootropic compound known for its ability to support mental clarity. There are also claims that it can improve memory although we’re yet to come across much peer-reviewed evidence in support of such.

The Neurohacker team uses American Ginseng mainly for its adaptogenic benefits. Even though it might work; better natural adaptogens like Ashwagandha and Bacopa Monnieri exist.

3. L-Arginine (NooLVL)

This is an amino acid that is scientifically classified as an essential amino acid. It’s commonly found in fitness products and that’s because it is believed to improve blood supply throughout the body.

This is a good ingredient. And the Neurohacker team actually acknowledges that they use it to promote circulation and enhance exercise performance.

4. Organic Coffeeberry

This is a deal-breaker for us since we just don’t like caffeine and the jitters it causes. But even with that said, it is worth appreciating the fact that the quality and quantity of caffeine used in a product can determine how effective it will be.

The Neurohacker team has been creating nootropic stacks all of their lives. In fact, one of their best-selling stacks contains this exact ingredient. So, we think they know what they’re doing here as well.

5. Celastrus paniculatus Seed Extract

This is a crappy ingredient if you’re an advanced biohacker. According to the company behind Qualia Nootropic Energy, this ingredient is popular in India for its ability to enhance mental acuity and relieve stress.

We did a bit of searching and almost all studies done about it are from Indian institutions. Plus all the studies have been done on rats.

It might have some benefits but we honestly think it’s an underdog in the world of biohacking.

6. Alpha GPC

Alpha GPC is the second best-known choline donor currently apart from CDP Choline (or Citicoline). We absolutely love the fact that Alpha GPC has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Plus it has been scientifically proven to improve the production of acetylcholine which is highly important in the transmission of nerve impulses.

According to Kamal Patel, an accredited researcher from Examine.com, Alpha-GPC appears to support brain power output and prevent cognitive decline (https://examine.com/supplements/alpha-gpc/).

7. N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (NALT)

NALT is yet another one of the great brain health supplements found in this energy stack. It is a known precursor of dopamine. And as you might be aware, dopamine is the feel-good hormone that gets you all psyched up and motivated.
