Supplement Science | Your Personal Guide To Stacking
Creating a synergistic supplement stack is harder than you think - in this month’s podcast episode, Emiel and Erika discuss Nootropics Depot’s strategy for creating powerful and effective supplement stacks. Bioassaying is the first step to creating a stack that works for you. In simple terms, this means taking a product on its own for a few days in a row, to observe its effects on your mental and physical state. Once you’ve gotten familiar with a single ingredient, it's time to add the next product into the mix, which forms the basis of your stack. If this process sounds too time consuming for you, don’t sweat it! Nootropics Depot has created a catalogue of excellently formulated stack products (InfiniLyte, Sleep Support, Eurycomax to name a few) which combine botanical ingredients, vitamins and minerals to achieve the ideal balance in a single product. Tune into the podcast episode to learn about Nootropics Depot’s secrets of stacking, earned through years of trial, error, and experience!Shop Nootropics Depot's Top Sellers here: https://nootropicsdepot.com/top-sellers/

Video Episode | CistaMAX | The Road To The Perfect Cistanche
CistaMAX | The Road To The Perfect Cistanche This month on the In Search of Insight podcast, Emiel and Erika share the inspiration behind Nootropics Depot’s new CistaMAX stack! We combined non-extracted Cistanche, a high-potency Cistanche extract, and a Supercritical Cistanche extract with Shilajit, Pregnenolone and DHEA to create CistaMAX. This combination produces a noticeable stimulating and motivating effect, and boosts the muscle-building properties of Cistanche. In this podcast, you’ll learn why we chose each ingredient in CistaMAX and what purpose it serves in the stack as a whole. You’ll also learn about the neuroscience behind the focus and mood enhancing effect of Cistanche. There’s lots of reasons why we include CistaMAX in our daily stack - it can increase feelings of hunger, which is essential when bulking and building muscle. It also gives us a noticeable energy boost that makes us want to move more. CistaMAX is a great choice for supporting fitness, motivation, and hormonal balance.

Video Episode | Tribugen | How We Took Tribulus To The Next Level
Tribugen | How We Took Tribulus To The Next Level This month, Emiel and Erika discuss the benefits of Tribulus Terrestris for energy, motivation, focus, and hormonal health. Making an effective stack takes more than just scientific research - this podcast episode focuses on the human element of stack creation, and why we spent so much time refining Tribugen until we got the effects profile just right. On this month’s podcast, learn more about: Tribulus Terrestris, Fenugreek, Dioscorea nipponica, and Cordyceps Monoamine oxidase A and B inhibitors Megadosing Tribugen How Nootropics Depot creates synergistic stacks Each ingredient in Tribugen was selected to compliment the stimulating and motivating effects of Tribulus, and in this episode Emiel discusses the mechanisms of action that are responsible for these effects. Before Tribugen made it’s debut, the team at Nootropics Depot tried a variety of Tribulus Terrestris extracts to find the most motivating but smooth extract that would shine as a stand-alone product. When making Tribugen, we wanted to increase the motivation benefits of Tribulus, but to smooth out the stimulation and edginess of Tribulus when taken on its own. After a year of bioassaying Tribugen, adjusting the dosages of the synergistic ingredients, and sharing the pre-released stack with friends, family and colleagues, we arrived at the finished product. If you are interested in learning more about this process, and the ingredients that make up the Tribugen stack, tune into this podcast episode!

Video Episode | Your Body’s Amazing Immune System | Is It Better To Take A Natural Approach When You Get Sick?
Your Body’s Amazing Immune System | Is It Better To Take A Natural Approach When You Get Sick? Our immune system is our body’s defense against sickness and infection. In this month’s podcast episode, Emiel and Erika discuss inflammation, oxidation, immune supporting supplements, fermented foods, and gut health, and explore ways to stay healthy all year round. Tune into the new podcast episode to learn more about: How inflammation and oxidation are tools that the immune system uses to attack pathogens and help us recover from illness Why fermented foods and carbohydrates are essential for a healthy immune system Vitamins, minerals, and supplements that support a healthy immune system The connection between the gut and the immune system Why symptom management during illness can work against us, and what to do instead This episode is focused on why inflammation and oxidation are essential for helping us fight off pathogens, and therefore, why taking a natural approach when getting sick may help us recover faster. Sometimes, it can be advantageous to lean into the inflammation and oxidation caused by our immune system, though this can be uncomfortable. Dampening inflammation and oxidation can prolong illness, and work against our immune system’s natural response to pathogens.

Video Episode | Tiger Milk | Could It Be The New Lion's Mane? | This Rare Malaysian Mushroom Is Finally On The Prowl
Tiger Milk | Could It Be The New Lion's Mane? | This Rare Malaysian Mushroom Is Finally On The Prowl Tiger Milk Mushroom is highly sought after for its respiratory and cognitive benefits. Learn about this fabled mushroom and our new mushroom research in this month’s podcast episode! Buy Tiger Milk Mushroom from Nootropics Depot https://nootropicsdepot.com/tiger-milk-mushroom-capsules/ On this episode of ‘In Search of Insight’ (episode #21), we explore Lignosus rhinocerus, better known as the tiger milk mushroom. Tiger Milk is a newcomer to the functional mushroom scene, and up until recently has been extremely rare. Traditional knowledge about tiger milk mushroom comes from Malaysia, where the indigenous population has been using this mushroom for hundreds of years. Its rarity is due to the fact that tiger milk mushrooms do not tend to grow close to each other in the wild. According to traditional knowledge, the tiger milk mushrooms seem to grow many kilometers apart from each other. This makes gathering sufficient amounts of tiger milk mushroom in the wild extremely difficult! The logical answer is to cultivate the tiger milk mushroom. A little over a decade ago, Dr. Tan Chon Seng made major advances in the cultivation of tiger milk mushroom. Once a viable cultivation method was scaled up for production, research on tiger milk mushroom started to boom. For the first time in history, researchers had access to sufficient quantities of tiger milk mushroom. In a short period of time, there are fully fledged human clinical trials coming out about the unique respiratory effects of tiger milk mushroom! Despite cultivation and research in the last decade, there are still plenty of knowledge gaps. Within the United States, there wasn’t a botanical reference material (BRM) that could be used to verify whether a tiger milk mushroom product is Lignosus rhinoceros. We needed to get our own BRM made for tiger milk mushroom. This project was undertaken by our lab director, James Jursich (Jay)! With this in mind, and the hard work Jay put into this project, we thought it would be interesting to have Jay as a guest on our podcast. We are the first major U.S. functional mushroom vendor to come out with a very high quality tiger milk mushroom product, and are sure to make waves in the functional mushroom space! Tune into this episode to find out why we are over the moon about this unique mushroom!

Video Episode | Cyanidin 3-Glucoside | Stimulator Of The Body & Mind | Muscle Growth, Mood, Recovery, & Cognition This month, tune into In Search of Insight to learn about Cyanidin 3-Glucoside - a potent anthocyanin that can be found in Black Rice, famous for it's benefits for fitness, mood, and cognitive health. This podcast explores our new Cyanidin 3-Glucoside extract and how it can be specifically useful for bodybuilders, athletes, or anyone looking to optimize their nutrition and build muscle. Your podcast hosts Emiel and Erika also discuss the perceptible mood effects of the extract, it's cognition benefits, and stack ideas to try with Cyanidin 3-Glucoside.

From now on, the ‘In Search of Insight’ will also feature video, in order to create a more immersive experience in which we can learn more about supplements together. An episode about cyanidin 3-glucoside (C3G), seemed appropriate for our first foray into videoland, because of its mesmerizing purple color! C3G is a purple pigment found in large quantities in various types of berries, red wine, vegetables like purple sweet potatoes, and grains such as black rice. In fact, black rice is probably one of the richest sources of C3G, and due to this, we derived our high-potency C3G from black rice. Within these food sources, C3G produces lots of different health benefits, most notably acting as an oxidation and inflammation regulating agent. However, in higher doses, as can be found in our C3G supplement, some very interesting properties appear! One of the main uses of C3G has been as a body recomposition tool in the bodybuilding world. C3G pulls this off by reducing fat stores and maximizing muscle growth. This means that C3G can help us become leaner and more muscular, which is every bodybuilder's dream! For others, the body recomposition effects really come in handy to optimize our overall metabolic function, helping us to get the most benefits from our food by taking advantage of C3G’s nutrient partitioning effects. One aspect of C3G that is often overlooked however, is its nootropics effects. When we were first beta-testing C3G, this is the first thing that stood out to us. When the C3G started to kick in, we got a slew of classic nootropic effects, such as a widening and crisping of our vision, a sharp mental clarity, and a sense of focus and drive. This is due to C3G’s effects on monoamine oxidase enzymes, PGC-1alpha, and blood flow. It even helps boost the effects of caffeine, which we show off in a fun and engaging manner during this podcast! If you want to learn more about C3G’s body recomposition and nootropic effects, while also getting to know us better, then tune into our first ever video episode of ‘In Search of Insight’!

Fenugreek | From Mummies to Modern Supplements | The Return of an Ancient Mood Booster
Fenugreek | From Mummies to Modern Supplements | The Return of an Ancient Mood BoosterFenugreek boosts mood, enhances motivation and supports your workout recovery. If we were giving superlatives, Fenugreek would certainly win the “team player” award! Many of us are likely familiar with this botanical, due to its incorporation into various foods, most notably curries, and imitation maple syrup. Fenugreek is also famously used for its fitness-boosting effects, with some claiming it enhances testosterone levels. Yet, the nootropic and mood-boosting effects of fenugreek remain relatively unexplored, although murmurs of these effects are sprinkled all over the web. On this episode we dig deeper into these unique mood, cognition and fitness-enhancing effects, finally getting to the root of what this wonderful botanical is capable of! A big focus of this episode is on the bioactive compounds in fenugreek, specifically, trigonelline and protodioscin, two of the compounds we have standardized our fenugreek extract for. Trigonelline is a compound that is found in relatively high amounts in coffee, and appears to contribute to both the stimulating and mood-boosting effects of this invigorating elixir! It’s a compound we became intimately familiar with during our research for our take on a highly efficacious caffeine stack, which ended up materializing as DynaMAX. Although trigonelline never made it into DynaMAX, it’s a compound we kept in the back of our minds, waiting for a chance to explore it further. Turns out, fenugreek was that chance! Combining the dopamine-releasing properties of trigonelline, with the motivation, and confidence-enhancing properties of protodioscin, resulted in a really unique effects profile. Imagine Tribulus, but tuned down in terms of aggressive energy, and tuned up in terms of mood-brightening properties. Quite the winning combination in our books! This month, your hosts Emiel and Erika dive into an exciting conversation and discuss:Our new fenugreek extract and its standardized compounds, protodioscin and trigonellineHow fenugreek boosts focus and motivationWhy trigonelline is an important compound for mood in both fenugreek and coffeeCreating the ideal pre-workout and post-workout stackThe mechanisms for fenugreek’s metabolic health benefitsBe sure to subscribe to the In Search of Insight podcast on your favorite streaming platforms, and join a community of like-minded nootropics geeks just like you on Reddit at r/NootropicsDepot.Follow Us On Social Mediahttps://www.facebook.com/NootropicsDepot/https://www.instagram.com/nootropicsdepot/https://www.reddit.com/r/NootropicsDepot/new/Buy Fenugreek from Nootropics Depothttps://nootropicsdepot.com/fenugreek-extract-capsules/
