So as I promised earlier in the week, here is my review of my first NooHack supplement. I have heard quite a lot about adrafinil and felt its effects would best suit my needs so decided it would be good product to start with. I suffer with quite a skittish mind at times, and have a lot of stresses and strains going on in my life. I often struggle to focus my energy efficiently into, well, anything to be honest.
This review a couple of days ago when I first tried it. I look forward to using it again!
About 20-30 minutes after taking the one capsule I got a slight heat in the front of my head. Some people apparently get a slight headache too as the supplement takes effect. For me, this passed within perhaps 3-4 minutes, but I have read report of it often lasting 5-10 minutes.
After roughly an hour I could feel a positive energy coming from within me. Now, while I know the cause of this is the Adrafinal, it genuinely feels as if it is coming from yourself. I have used many stimulants and study aids in my time in order to help me concentrate, and they seem to provide what I can only describe as an "outward-in stimulation". This supplement feels more of an inward-out stimulation. In-fact, stimulation is the wrong word, I was calm, and still am (5 hours after taking it).
I am passionate with fitness, yet haven't trained in a while due to suffering with Bronchitis. Over the last few weeks it has ran me down so much and so hard, I simply haven't had the energy. With this new found focus, I decided to attempt to train again. It suddenly became clear that I was wallowing to an extent, and needed to give provide my body with some sort of physical activity. I felt like I needed to be productive in some sense, and I have been missing training desperately. I attempted the weights first but the illness, still causing me a great amount of fatigue, caused me to stop very quickly. However, unlike other times during this period of illness when I have felt the urge to take self pity and give in, or even try to illogically fight through the fatigue, I put on some relaxing music and practiced various forms and Kata of my Ninjutsu training instead.
I felt loose, supple, relaxed and 'at one' with myself. My techniques were flawless and felt highly controlled through the mind-muscle connection. I felt everything with more clarity. My feet, hips, even each joint moving and I could control my breathing effortlessly. Usually I get tense, distracted, and sometimes anxious when I am not performing to a high standard. This time, I was able to perform some of the movements with my eyes closed for a good few minutes in my cluttered gym (note, I have been training for many years now, I am not suggesting that the product allowed me to suddenly do this). I didn't bump into a thing, my awareness was at a level which I could not describe. After the session, I was left still feeling motivated, leading me to further instill the techniques and how I was able to perform them.
Now, I suspect this product will be useful for all manner of purposes, the calm "zen-like" state of my mind combined with strong motivation to be productive is quite incredible. I do NOT feel high, buzzed, amped, aggressive, anxious, jittery or any other usual effect of other substances like caffeine etc. It is an odd feeling, like being able to think one step ahead of where my emotions would normally take me, and allow me to make informed decisions. Various nervous ticks have disappeared, which only get worse with caffeine and other stimulants. Today has been the most productive day I have had in many weeks. I feel this product, given sensible use, will continue to be of great benefit to me. My mind is working not faster, but more efficiently.
I am now finishing off a to-do list that has been sitting on my desk for far too long. I do not even know why I had been putting these tasks off. I now find myself going through them in a orderly manor, whereas usually I would find myself either dismissing them or trying to take them all on at once, leading to unproductive use of my time.
Hope this is of some help to those looking for answers. I suspect everyone will react differently as my research has taught me. For me personally though, this supplement is a winner.
I haven't taken it since but have a heavy day tomorrow so will probably try it out again. Hopefully it has the same results!
