Top 7 Nootropic Adaptogens to Conquer Anxiety and Stress
This video is about how to use nootropic adaptogens to heal your brain damaged by chronic stress.
When something happens during your day, regardless of what that stressor is, your body responds the same way every time.
Your HPA axis kicks in and sends a cascade of hormones into your system. Dominated by a flood of cortisol from your adrenals. To fight the effects of stress in your body.
The symptoms of chronic stress show up as brain fog, anxiety and depression, weight gain around your waist, not feeling rested after a night’s sleep, and catching every cold or flu bug that’s going around.
Fortunately, you have easy access to an elite-class of nootropics that help your body cope with stress. And avoid the damage it can cause.
Bringing your body back into a balanced, healthy, optimized state. They are called “adaptogens”.
This video will explain how chronic stress causes brain damage. Then you’ll learn what an adaptogen is and how they work.
Then we’ll cover the top 7 nootropic adaptogens proven in clinical studies and through real-world use – to help you recover from chronic stress.

CBD has been very effective.

Suggesting an edit to the timestamps in the description; you have "Ashwagandha" doubled where the 12 minute timestamp should say "Ginko Biloba".

I need your help to improves my life
I have been taking Gaba 200 mg before go to bed, It has help me so much but, I have become extremely sleepy for the rest of the day (without consuming Gaba in the Morning), why this happen and how to solve it?
I would also like to know the risks of consuming GABA that has expired?, Mine did not expire but when it do I would like to know if I should throw it away or it could be a few months or a year without the risk of it hurting me
And the last question is about the importance of l glycine for sleep and they Results comparing with Gaba and if you recomend it (above of Theanine o Taurine in my case)?

Hello,
I developed a pretty severe anxiety/panic disorder which is ruining my life. Although Im starting to get a handle on it, I still always seem to be on edge and fear. I’m looking for something to take the edge off. I did hormone labs and everything was fine except a slight elevation in cortisol and low dopamine. I need some help as I’m not sure which adaptogen(s) would work best for me. I tried ashwaghanda and seemed to be sensitive to it. Thank you in advance!

Hello David, I need to boost my dopamine levels considerably, what would you recommend is a serious booster, thanks.

claudio prencis
Hi, thanks for your helpful contribution! I've heard that some supplements, like Ashwaghanda, can be counterproductive in benzodiazepine withdrawal and cause setbacks or protracted withdrawal, because they bind on GABA receptors, what's your opinion regarding this? Thanks in advance.
