    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. Listen to our new episode to learn more!

  • Tribugen | How We Took Tribulus To The Next Level

    Tribugen | How We Took Tribulus To The Next Level

    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!
