Seeking Advice How do all of the different compounds with action on NGF/BDNF compare to each other? I'd like to know more about all of them.

Hi, I'm interested in things lie Tropoflavin, Bacopa, Semax, Selank, NSI-189, TAK-653, Dihexa, ACD-856 and all other similar compounds. They seem like very interesting substances with fascinating mechanisms of action, so I'm interested in what effects each of them have, how powerful those effects are, how they differ, which are recommended and anything else there is to know about them. I'm personally more interested in these for their potential effects on depression, executive function and anxiety, so I'd like to know more about that, but I want to know about all compounds and their effects, regardless of how much they could help in that regard.

Damn, that's a lot of high quality information, thanks a lot! Will you try stacking some of those, or will you only take them individually? I don't know if that would be too dangerous, but it's definitely at least a little bit tempting.

that list is like a buffet where half the dishes might give you a third eye, tread lightly

You're definitely right about that, I'll be careful about these things, especially the research chemical stuff, though, to be fair, a lot of them seem to have passed safety trials or have been taken by people for a long time without much side-effects.

How bro. Listen if you’re going to say these compounds are either useless / have side effects you need to be able to back it up.

Have you tried any of them personally? Any studies you can reference?

Cant agree more! Thank you! A lot of people just dismiss these compounds outright even though they clearly haven’t looked at the actual data.
