Bromantane (Ladasten): What It Is and What the Research Shows

A grounded compound reference on bromantane (Ladasten, ADK-709): an adamantane-derivative actoprotector that raises dopamine synthesis via tyrosine hydroxylase, combines mild stimulant and anxiolytic effects, is approved only in Russia for asthenia, and remains a research chemical in the US. Covers verified mechanism, human trials, study doses, community practice, and safety.

TAK-653 (Osavampator / NBI-1065845): The Complete Research Reference

TAK-653 (also called osavampator or NBI-1065845) is an investigational AMPA-receptor positive allosteric modulator designed to enhance glutamate signaling without the seizure liability of older ampakines. This reference covers its mechanism, the real Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical evidence, how it differs from ketamine and older ampakines, community-reported use, honest safety framing, and where to source it. Research-use-only; not an approved drug.

Glutathione (GSH): What the Research Actually Supports

A grounded research reference on glutathione (GSH), the body's master endogenous antioxidant. Covers the redox biology, the strongest clinical anchor (the NAC/acetaminophen-overdose antidote), the mixed skin-whitening and Parkinson's literature, the central oral bioavailability problem, and how the research community actually discusses precursors like NAC. Research-use-only, not medical advice.

DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide): What the Sleep Research Actually Shows

A grounded research reference on DSIP (delta sleep-inducing peptide): what it is, the honest and mixed evidence for sleep, its studied "beyond sleep" angles, community protocol discussion flagged as anecdotal, and a safety picture built on verified PubMed literature.

NAD+ in Longevity and Metabolic Research: A Complete Reference

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a redox coenzyme found in every living cell that shuttles electrons through energy metabolism and also serves as the fuel consumed by sirtuins and PARP DNA-repair enzymes. It is central to longevity research because cellular NAD+ levels fall with age, and that decline is tied to mitochondrial function, DNA-repair signaling, and metabolism. Most evidence is preclinical or early-stage human, and these are research compounds, not products for human consumption.

Cognitive Enhancers by Mechanism and Safety: A Reference Guide

A mechanism-first reference that groups cognitive enhancers into seven pharmacological classes and compares each on how it works and its main safety consideration, with a master table and honest evidence labels. Not a ranking, and not medical advice.
