Product Description
With all stacks, caution is recommended. Nootropics are powerful, and all brains are different, so combining them may have risks. Always make sure you try out the components individually first to verify that they work as intended for you, and don’t have any unwanted side effects. Beginning with smaller doses and building up to the recommended dosage is a commonly recommended precautionary technique.
This stack is for when you really need your brain on your side. It’s not something you’d want to use daily, but rather something you’d pull out for special occasions, where you may need the entire day and night to get things done.
Taking one capsule of each component of this stack will keep you awake and focused for 5 to 8 hours. This is a very powerful stack, which you want to take once per week at most. It is advised to take it easy the day after in order to recuperate from the mental exertion of the day before.
Adrafinil
Adrafinil gets turned to Modafinil in the body. Modafinil is what shot nootropics into the public eye, with university students using it to increase their focus, cognition, energy, and memory.
Phenylpiracetam
Phenylpiracetam is usually used for motivation to start tasks. It makes it easier to get started on things, improves cognition and concentration, and reduces stress. Combining this with Adrafinil will set the stage for an intense workday.
Alpha-GPC
Alpha-GPC has modest cognitive benefits by itself, but the main place where it shines is in combination with Phenylpiracetam. The latter interacts with the brain’s acetylcholine system, and taking Alpha-GPC potentiates this effect. It also prevents the headache that can be brought on by Phenylpiracetam’s interaction with the acetylcholine system.

Usage notes:
- Adrafinil may disrupt sleep, especially if taken later in the day.
- It is very important to drink more than your regular amount of water, to keep hydrated and prevent headaches.
- If you’re worried that you might be predisposed to depression, leave out the Alpha-GPC until and unless you get a headache.
Counterindications:
- Adrafinil can reduce the efficacy of hormonal birth control.
- An excess of choline can amplify or trigger depressive episodes, and Alpha-GPC is therefore not advised for people with a predisposition for this.
- Adrafinil and Phenylpiracetam are both stimulants. Anyone with a predisposition for anxiety is advised to proceed carefully
- Do not consume alcohol if you have taken Adrafinil or Phenylpiracetam.
