This month’s podcast is all about pain - and our new pain management stack, Relievex. We at Nootropics Depot have a vendetta against pain, and Relievex is our secret weapon that provides physical and mental relief from pain. In this podcast, product specialist Emiel and podcast host Erika discuss the question “What is pain?” and what we can do to address it. Naturally, we discuss why taking Relievex is a great way to manage pain as needed, or on a daily basis.

Pain is a universal human experience. Our ability to sense physical pain alerts us to a wound or strain that has occurred and prevents us from further injuring ourselves. However, our age, well-being, cultural background, and mindset also contribute to how we experience pain. If you enjoy philosophical and introspective conversations, tune into this episode! We ask some big questions about the importance of pain. But we also get into the science behind how we can mitigate pain and live healthier, happier lives.

Speaking of science, Emiel and Erika discuss the ingredients of Relievex one-by-one and how they address the physical and psychological experience of pain. Each ingredient in Relievex brings with it a unique mechanism of action that can help us relax, recover, and get rid of pain. Tune into this new podcast episode on your favorite streaming platform!

Black Ginger has become our favorite new supplement! This month on in Search of Insight, you can learn about the science behind Black Ginger’s fitness enhancing and aphrodisiac benefits. Black Ginger helps us burn fat, boosts physical endurance, improves our glucose metabolism, and supports body recomposition. Similar to Cyanidin 3-Glucoside, Black Ginger allows our body to use energy from food more efficiently, and promotes brown fat cells which burn normal fat, more specifically adipose tissue. The fitness benefits of Black Ginger are powerful when taken alongside Cyanidin 3-Glucoside and CistaMAX.

In traditional Thai medicine, Black Ginger is most famous for it’s libido boosting and sexual performance benefits. It increases vasodilation and blood flow, which improves erectile function and quality. Similarly for women, Black Ginger promotes blood flow to the clitoris, resulting in more satisfying orgasms. From anecdotal experience, we’ve noticed that Black Ginger makes us more horny and more satisfied from sexual intimacy.

Black Ginger has a lot in common with Cyanidin 3-Glucoside, however it does not have the same monoamine oxidase inhibition effects. For this reason, Black Ginger provides a more balanced mood and motivation boost without feeling overly stimulating.

Tune into the second half of our fascinating conversation with Joshua, A.K.A. Mr. Happy from the famous Mr. Happy Stack. We discuss more insight on how the microbiome, immune system, hormones and neurotransmitters are connected. These systems rely on us to exercise, to eat well, and to be able to recover. However, our lifestyle, food supply, and other factors can make it difficult to maintain a healthy baseline. And further, how do supplements play a part in all of this? Part 2 of the podcast is an activating deep-dive that motivates us to take our health seriously, and better understand the main factors that allow us to live long, healthy and happy lives. These are the immune system, the microbiome, the hormone biosynthesis system, and our diets.

On this month’s podcast, Emiel and Erika discuss nootropics, the immune system, microbiome, and mushrooms with Joshua, A.K.A Mr. Happy from the early LongeCity days. Much has changed in the nootropic supplement world since the Mr. Happy stack was first shared online. Joshua and Emiel discuss the early days of nootropic exploration, Nootropics Depot’s role in raising the industry standard for quality and purity, and the next generation of nootropics explorers and exotic compounds. This podcast also focused on Joshua’s current research into the immune system and longevity. Emiel and Joshua discuss why biodiversity is important for growing healthy mushrooms, and how this same concept applies to humans and our microbiome. Our diets and food supply have changed over time, so supplementing with minerals and micronutrients is more important than ever. Learn more about these topics in this month’s podcast episode from In Search of Insight!

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.

Tribulus Terrestris is a powerful supplement that boosts energy, motivation, and vitality! This month, Emiel and Erika discuss how Nootropics Depot took Tribulus Terrestris to the next level with Tribugen, our optimized stack that combines Tribulus with Mung Bean, Cordyceps, Dioscorea nipponica, and Fenugreek. 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 on your favorite streaming platform!
