We all know that the yooman brain holds about an average of 100,000,000 (one hundred billion) neurons, and we all know that this number can be greatly heightened through increasing the nerve growth factor, and as a result, increasing neurogenesis, with nutrition, and more importantly, Nootropics.

The question is, exactly by how much can you increase your nerve growth factor, or, more simply put, the rate at which your brain generates neurons? Is there a percentage I can see? Is there a specific numerical estimate? Is there some sort of pie chart or bar graph?

How can we see the contrast of the speed at which a brain that IS well nourished, generate neurons, compared to a brain that is not so well nourished generate neurons?

Is there anywhere I can look to see a sharp or accurate estimate?

To put it even more simply; exactly how effective are nootropics in increasing the generation of neurons?

I'm having difficulties believing these are serious responses. Literally all of them are proven to nourish the brain and give improvements. Garbage like modafinil and adderal are not nootropics. Nootropics are all natural and rely on nutrients to increase neuron generation. Now, without trying to halfassedly change the subject, give me the percentage I asked for, or gtfo summerfag.

There is only one Nootropic in existence that actually works, all others are complete placebo effect garbage or aderall that’s been rebranded falsely.
Cerebrolysin is taken by injecting fluid directly into your biceps. You have to know your shit to use if, like the fact that each bicep can only hold about 5 mLs of fluid before it “leaks.” The stuff is made in Austria and sold in Russia, and those are basically the only two places you can buy it. Luckily, there’s the internet, but the substance is completely banned in the US and is banned in most other developed countries without the ability to prove that you are in the medical field and need to use it for treatment or testing.
If you want your data, that is the Nootropic to test.

Now that that’s set aside, we have to look at how much of the brain can actually be rebuilt using Cerebrolysin. The fact is, Cerebrolysin only really revives old dead Neurons, not creates new ones. Certainly, it can stimulate some limited growth, but more likely than not at the rate where you’d be measuring in Neurons per day, never seeing significant figures above the triple digits. That’s because Cerebrolysin isn’t designed for biohacking to get more brain cells; it’s for treating brain damage and dementia. And considering that it’s the only thing that actually works, that would mean that the average growth rate for nootropics is likely a very small number.

>There is only one Nootropic in existence that actually works, all others are complete placebo effect garbage or aderall that’s been rebranded falsely.

Where is the evidence of this? I stated that nootropics nourish the brain, with natural ingredients that are derived from all kinds of plants and other materials that are proven to increase NGF. If they didn't work, then neither would vegetables or fruits, they're literally a compilation of vegetables stuffed into pills, with other extra side-nutrients derived from other stuff like trees and fungi. I also stated that Adderal and Modafinil aren't nootropics, rather, 'smart drugs' Cerebrolysin isn't a nootropic at all either, it's a mixture of peptides, which are amino acid monomers linked by amide bonds. A simple google search shows that. What a simple google search doesn't show is the question asked above.

Although the answer you gave me is believable, I read that at peak neurogenesis levels, the human brain, at least for newborns, I say again, NEWBORNS Is capable of generating 200,000 neurons per minute. Obviously neurogenesis, as said before, is determined by the amount of nutrition a brain recieves.

>>9869715
If that tab's still up for you, do you mind finding a neuronal generation comparison between a nourished brain and a malnourished brain? Thanks in advance.

Highly, Nootropics require a rolling start to be effective as they serve as building blocks for the brain. Adding a few blocks to an already high tower will bring about only slightly noticeable results. More blocks = more noticeable results.

>but a lot less than a single 200mg pill of pure L-Theanine
However, while the amount is halved, relying on L-Theanine alone is not enough for a healthy brain. There are many more nutrients which are necessary. Of course a possibility is to just order them all separately and take them all at once from all kinds of different bottles, but some ingredients are much harder to find in pharmacies and nutrition stores or cost more alone than the nootropic stack sometimes. At the end of the day, at least you're still getting L-Theanine.

>That... doesn't make any sense. I am unaware of any definitions of "nootropics" that exclude synthetic substances.
I read somewhere a time ago that nootropics are usually all natural. Either way, they're very different from smart drugs.
