- Nicotine is a nootropic that can help with learning, memory, movement and even constipation. It's important we disentangle nicotine as a nootropic from the harmful effects of tobacco.

0:00 Intro
I’m a nurse, and when I learned about the nicotinic receptors it made me think that there had to be some benefits from nicotine. then we learned that smokers are actually at less risk for developing colon cancer than non smokers. Of course, in general, smoking increases the risks for a multitude of illnesses, but the effects on colon cancer is so interesting when you think about how smoking “prevents” constipation. Again, the point being that it’s NOT the smoking that provides protection, but the nicotine.
Super interesting info Mike! Thank you!
☕️ 🚬 🏃♂️ …. 💥 🚽
Vaping (with quality juice) or nicotine gum is so much better
I have to say that just because they are called "nicotinic" receptors doesn't mean they are designed for nicotine. This is the same misconception that people sometimes have with cannabanoid receptors.
Parkinsons
Have you thought that maybe the amounts of pesticides and chemicals added into cigarettes might be a bigger problem than pure tobacco?
I'm a combat vet with TBI, and PTSD, and my battles with mental health are daily. I loaded my mouth with Skoal to make 20 years in the military. Retired now, I vape dry herb tobacco (American Spirit loose tobacco). Just 3 or 4 times daily, but it still helps keep me even. This video isn't shocking to me at all.
Thanks for sharing your story and thanks for your service!
@@Highintensityhealth Thanks for giving all of us peer reviewed, scientific, and thoughtful ways to maximize our health. You do a yeoman's work!
Same here brother. Honestly Copenhagen is the only reason I made it through multiple combat deployments - I swear it helped keep completely focused and eliminated my ADHD, worries, etc
Thank you for your service 🙏
Try psychedelic mushrooms to brother.
I have never looked up the definition of so many words in 1 video before. Fascinating analysis.
As someone with ADHD and other learning disabilities, nicotine (in safer delivery devices than smoking/vaping like pouches or gum) has absolutely helped my focus and concentration in the classroom environment. I used to have an endless 'brain fog' feeling and focusing in class felt almost impossible with how fast my brain moved. It's helped me be able to slow down my rapid thoughts, and place my mental focus in one place. Not to say there aren't downsides, but for me, the benefits greatly outweigh the negatives. Just don't start smoking cigs, you just look homeless.
What’re the downsides of gum? On a search for brain and memory improvement
Always interesting Mike! I remember you talking to Stasha Gominak about some of this last year. Like so much of your content, that interview with her is so dense with interesting stuff that I keep referring back to it. Thank you for what you do!
I found it interesting that you mentioned that constipation and Parkinsons are related. Because you learn in ayurvedic medicine it is absolutely clear that they belong together. As for my experience I have to add that I have never seen a better effect on Parkinsons as with ayurvedic treatment.
Also really cool facts about nicotine, that I have heard of before but wasn't sure if they werde true.
I confirm that smoking helps schizophrenia symptoms. I remember learning this curious fact many years ago in med school. Dopaminergic pathways are involved in both schizophrenia and Parkinson’s. And cholinergic pathways play a significant role in Alzheimer’s which is why the main treatment consists of meds that increase acetylcholine in the brain. Interesting to know that nicotine affects both. Great presentation!
I went to a coroner's conference and schizophrenics have big nicotine receptors so they get short relief from their symptoms hence they chain smoke.
As does methamphetamine
@@Hobohunter23 yes, but smoking meth is even worse for you than smoking cigarettes (plus it's illegal, unlike nicotine)
@@jaernihiltheus7817 that's honestly more debatable than you'd think.
You still don't want the tar.....Mike is advocating for nicotine intake without tar intake.
I love how this showed up in my feed. I hope the youtube algorithm sends me more science, nutrition, neuroscience, pharmacology, endocrinology. Yes pls. Thanks
I like how this you give straight up technical information about interleukin 10 acetylcholine, nicotinic receptors without dumbing it down. I find the dumbing down really loses the devil in the details and this doesn’t do that. Its great.
now I'm going to be listening to your channel because I can tell you thought this through and you're not just parroting stuff that will get you hits on your channel
I read and article years ago about the use of nicotine patches to help with cognition in individuals with Down Syndrome. My oldest has DS but wife was completely opposed to trying them out even intermittently. I like how you phrased it "we need to disentangle cancer from nicotine". I arrived at that conclusion many years ago, but she's not there yet.
Thank you so much for this and all your great videos that explain the whole truth about health. 🙏🌸🌞😃
Just what I was looking for. Also subscribed.
While cigars themselves contain up to 400mg of nicotine, data shows the average actually absorbed when properly consumed (not inhaling) is around 1 to 4.5 MG. I have noticed much better sleep, and considerable relief from anxiety smoking 1 to 2 cigars a week.
You didn't mention anything in regards to dose but I think it's very important. If you suspect that it could be of benefit to you, start extremely low. For example I've found 1/4th of a milligram to be sufficient for me to have positive effects. Additionally the effects don't get meaningfully better if i doubled or tripled the dose. And I'm glad you mentioned this: use it as needed for brain work or whenever you anticipate needing extra focus. For my first month of usage I was on 1mg every day, and predictably i got slightly addicted and the benefits waned. I've found once or twice a week, very specifically timed that nicotine gave me great benefits.
For reference I'm an 80kg male, so base your dosage off of that if you're thinking of trying this.
Brilliant. Thank you for this discussion.
Im not going to lie, i've been on and off tobacco-free nictone snus packets for the past couple of years (never smoked). I can confirm a number of the topics discussed and I think for me, it's a good occasional nootropic when I need an extra focus boost. I keep nic use sporadic enough so it doesn't become a damaging habit again, and it is good to know we're in an age with tobacco/smoke free options available.
Great information I’ll look more into this. I was a smoker when I was very young, quit at 23, then began years of severe anxiety don’t have anxiety anymore due to how i try to take care of myself but now 46, I’m ten years after a TBI, both my kids one autistic one ADD… interesting correlations
Wow! Huge fan of your work, thanks Mike! I might be a tad biased because my fiancé is one of the founders of Nic Nac, but I truly LOVE learning about tobacco free nicotine and this was a very concise and fascinating video. You're a huge inspiration to us and we always enjoy sharing your posts and videos with our friends and family. Thank you for shouting out Nic Nac :)
is he looking for additional help in the company?if he needs a pharmacist can you recommend me?
PLease have your fiance change the code for 15% off to HIH because it doesn't work on the nic nac site. Thanks.
What are your thoughts on the vascular and bone issues associated with it.
It's helping so much with my chronic fatigue syndrome and dysautonomia but I worry about long term effects
Is it available in the U.K. please??
I’ve been using 7mg patches for long covid symptoms. Helps with lung congestion and definitely improves my mood which gives me more energy. I love it. Don’t use it every day.
Long covid does not exist, get a grip, 2020 was 4 years ago. Also lose weight.
Other than nicotine having a calming effect (started smoking at least a pack a 45 years ago, but switched to vaping 9 years ago), and working to reduce stress levels, I found unequivocally that it also definitely helps with my chronic back pain due to MVA many decades ago, and I can postpone going for the prescription pain medications and sometimes don't need them at all when I vape to control the pain. However, downside, I have tried quitting altogether and have discovered I am highly addicted... at least there is an upside to my addiction.
It’s probably because there’s more than just nicotine in those vapes. It’s the other chemicals taht are most likely addictive, not the pure nicotine
Awesome advice and information
Wow, this may help explain my health improvements since starting smoking only a few puffs throughout the day of pipe tobacco. Not large amounts but over the time I've been doing it my gastro health has skyrocketed and swelling from arthritis etc has plummeted. Don't smoke but if you do, not cigs and not much.
Fascinating, not endorsing smoking either. But thanks for sharing your feedback
I enjoy some pipe tobacco myself, I feel it's much less addictive than other things, and at least to me, tastes better than smoking. I can not endorse, nor confirm nor deny if I had any symptoms. But I'll keep an eye out in the future now because of this video
The tobacco pipe is a great comfort. I enjoyed it dearly throughout my 20's. These days I use nicotine pouches (Skruf), not quite so relaxing, contemplative and enjoyable as a nice pipe, but it delivers the vitamin N discretely and does the job.
It also counteracts some of the side effects of many antipsychosis meds.
Great video, well said!
Thank you for your insight!
Quitting nicotine was harder than losing 80 pounds. Yeah, there's that.
I am trying to order some but am getting an ageid error message. I’ll call them tomorrow and inquire about this. Thank you Mike. This is excellent information. Wish I had known this a few years earlier - my mom passed away earlier this year of Parkinsons related issues.
I buy nicotine losenges at Costco
I also heard recently, I think Dr. Ardis, that his wife’s tinnitus was helped by pure nicotine. That’s my interest in trying it. Thanks for the supplier info!
I’m 😃 I found this channel. Thank you.
Started Pipe smoking, I find it as long as you don't abuse (if you get carried away you'll be punished with a headache) it's pretty good. I usually smoke two bowls while reading a book with some water on the side before taking a shower in the morning. The amount of Nicotine I'm cosuming is about 2-3mg so it's nowhere near that of one stick of cigarettes of 8-12mg or continous vape smoking. Also the risk are near to that of a nonesmoker as you don't inhale it to the lungs and you're encouraged not to smoke it to hot but rather control the temperature through practice
10:00 that is super interesting about schizophrenia. I'm in mental health and schizophrenics always tend to smoke--a lot! It would be great to suggest a supplement instead!
I see the benefits you are talking about, and with my issues with my brain since covid, it's tempting, but I have had a lifelong unhealthy relationship with tobacco, and having been free of it for almost 2 years now, I am extremely leery of my own dependence returning if I were to use the nicotine. I will definitely be sharing this data.
Me, too.
It's great that you know yourself friend..
The like button clicked.
I'm using nicotine sprey and it helped me a lot. My sleep I so much better. I'm able to stay asleep for the entire night. Five years was struggling with little to none sleep.
My neck spasms after stress events was nightmare. Now it's almost gone. I'm handling stress way better. My ears ringing is much better(I believe it is the better sleep the reason)
My breathing is deeper e slower. I can breathe 1-2 times per minute easily.
The only issue is the nausea and my stomach gets very upset some times. Still adjusting to the dose. My sprey is 1mg.
Hey Mike, I use Niacin (B-3)!
Would love to see an honest take on vaping! Unbiased, objective and evidence based as possible!
I chewed tabaco for 20 yrs quit about 4 yrs ago. I really mis it. helped me relax and focus.
For me, the best nootropic was normotim. I've been taking it for a long time and everything is cool!
In my experience nicotine gum was very difficult to limit it, and then stop.
I started using it only when trying to focus. That worked for a couple months, but then I started to really enjoy it.
Me too! Its way better than smoking!!
It took me 10 years to give up the gum....worse than smoking
@@azwife1715 why did you give it up?
@@howard1beale It is expensive and found and myself chewing more and more
@@azwife1715 yeah its expensive but much cheaper than cigarettes. I don't rely chew it properly these days... I chew it and swallow it lol
Thank you 😊
I occasionally use nicotine to relax with at home as an alternative to alcohol as I quit drinking some time ago, not that I drank very often anyway. I am aware of its addictive properties however so I limit its use to once or twice per fortnight.
I’ve been vaping with very low amounts of nicotine for a couple years now - .25 per 100ml or less - while in college studying computer science and I have definitely noticed it acting as a nootropic aid when I study and take tests. I have a 4.0 and am about to graduate this coming summer. I am not addicted to it and I experience zero negative side effects from cessation. *Edit: There is extensive history of schizophrenia and bipolar disease on my moms side of my family.*
Based name
vaping nicotine regularly for a couple years and not addicted?😂 lol. ok. cool. you do you. And also, as the guy just explained clearly and concisely, it has benefits. Yet also, it’s better to be honest about a habit or addiction, whether or not an intentionally mentally developed habit or whether an actual neuro-chemically based addiction.
@@nozrep Lol haha k lmao 😂😂🤣🤣😂 lol lmao roflcopter k haha🙃😁😁 lol k lmao
Yeah low doses of nicotine the withdrawals will be weak
@@nozrep it becomes an addiction via the benefits it provides rather than the dopamine release.
Great video. I used the gum years ago to quit snuff. I see the benefit of nicotine for sure; just a caveat that it will increase blood glucose and blood pressure. Btw, its an excellent fat burner as well.
data suggests a decrease in blood pressure
@@athena144really?! Everything that I’ve read says it increases it. Do you have links?
@@robbiasetti4678 Its been a while since I really looked at this so I only have one source but here you go... He talks about safety concerns with long term therapeutic nicotine ( including BP ) at around min 15 czcams.com/video/jLt04eIAHAQ/video.html
My mom was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's. It is interesting that the constipation, gut, and IBS symtoms didn't seem to be prominent in the beginning but now a couple decades after her diagnosis they are a major problem. It seems like these problems were always there but she wasn't aware of them. In my reading of the research the pathogenisis of Parkinson's mainly involves metabolic dysfunction, specifically oxidative stress not being addressed (damage caused by excess free radicals, which themselves are produced as a natural result of oxidative phosphorylation), but the recent work has been finding more links to gut health.
See E.O. Nutrition's recent yt video. :)
I’ve had a major surgery in my abdomen two years ago, removing Sarkoma tumors, resulting in tremendous amount of scar tissue that bothers my intestines causing constipation. I use «snus» tobacco/nicotine pouches daily and that has helped me out a-lot with this issue.
Homoeopathic silica over time removes scar tissue. Namaste 🙏
I’m a USAF veteran and currently a mathematics major in university. Nicotine gum is amazing for focus!
Good clip.
Well, as a smoker ... I'm trying to shift to e-cigarettes now. But anecdotally, I like cigarettes when having bowel movements. And over my career, I thought that nicotine stimulated my ability to do problem solving as well. Smoking is definitely a bad habit, but it is illuminating to hear about the benefits of nicotine as a separate issue. Thanks for the video.
Too much info
Shifting onto ecigs from smoking takes time. Do both for a while and make sure you choose the right ecig and the right level of nicotine or you may give up trying. 10 years I'm off real cigs and now vape.
@@epicchannel4724 vaping is just awful. What's the point?
@@howard1beale to help people stop smoking cigarettes. Silly.
I had a harder time quitting e cigarettes than actual cigarettes. There's no filter with ecigs so your nicotine concentrate is higher. Cigarettes, as bad as they are, do have a filter, meaning less
I quit tobacco and am now sorry for it. nothing but problems. i'm ordering what you recommend.
Med Cram did a couple videos on how the studies showed that nicotine stopped COVID from entering the lungs. All of this is fascinating! Thank you!
Yep, it binds on ACE2 stopping viral attachment as well as IL6 reduction.
The lung cancer doesn’t want any help, Covid had to get out.
@@saltrock9642 nicotine doesn’t cause the cancer. The 99+ other chemicals do.
I've been considering buying some gum in case I get Covid again. I didn't realize med cram did a video on it. Gotta check that out.
@@Eyes0penNoFear the videos were not specifically about how nicotine stops COVID but was in the the videos they did. If I find it I will send it to you in this feed!
Great pesticide as well
Hello. I'm just seeing this video today. I'm on ZYN pouches now. Sure, I'm on 1 can of ZYN 3mg, but I'm down to 1-2 cigs a day now. I need to check out the product you mentioned. I live in the South, so we are about 10 years behind the rest of the country when it comes to products such as these imo.
Take Care
Just read something also that Dr Ardis recommends for jab injured
I struggled with alcohol use disorder for a long time and being sober now. The effects of brain fog and memory are frustrating. I started using zyn a few times a week and it really helps with cravings and I think it will help with the brain fog too. There are so many negative videos on nicotine and addiction but in moderation it’s great. It subdues cravings and the day after drinking there’s a lingering depressive effect that the nicotine clears up.
I use zyn for the cognitive effect and I ordered the Nic Nac. do you think Zyn is a bad product to use?
🤘🏿This should be interesting!🤘🏿
*edit to include nicotine gum/lozenges since people do not believe I was addicted to NICOTINE instead of vapes or cigarettes*
I have just broken a horrible addiction to nicotine, cigarettes for 15 years, vapes, nicotine lozenges & nicotine gum for the last few years. After being in treatment for an addiction to opiates and having 3 months off of those. I have always "needed" tons of nicotine, 2 packs a day type person. As an ADHD person, I have noticed nothing but improvements in my anxiety and energy levels since quitting. Perhaps I'm an outlier, but I would not risk going back for any benefits. The only way I'm going back to either of those substances would be relapse due to cravings and I'm working VERY hard to make sure that never happens.
Wooo me to. Smoking to vape to vape with no nic to quitying altogether. Feeling great & finding more time. Dont have to find time to escape & get a fix. Went from smelly breath/clothes to having a different feel in spit (cleaner), no more dry mouth/throat. Thank God. Saving monneeyyy
Good work! Nobody should risk returning to a substance they have a history of addiction or abuse with for a marginal physical health benefit.
Nicotine products have addictive compounds added and physical routines/marketing that your body craves.
Vaping ok 👍 i got my health back. 20 year cigarette. Vaping all day long.
@@Amy_Watson I hate to tell you, I easily put down cigarettes for nicotine vapes and then easily put down vapes for nicotine lozenges and would need to suck on 5mg lozenges several times throughout the day, every day, to the point I was going through tubes of them in 2 or 3 days that were meant to last 2 weeks. When I stopped the lozenges, I started to withdrawal and was mad, agitated, irritable and anxious, even depressed. Just like when quitting cigs. If I made it a day or and put a lozenge in, I would feel an extremely pleasurable high/dizziness from the nicotine and immediately feel good again. I WAS addicted to nicotine. I would know, I was there.
My grandmother was a heavy smoker. She died with severe dementia, so forgive my skepticism.
Just like anything, it's the dose and other factors may have helped in her demise.
Smoking has more than 2000 carcinogens, nicotine is not one.
Dementia is a sugar problem. Diabetes of the brain
The gum is my go to, has been for 15 years easy. You have to keep those lungs clean, no vaping guys. Still get the benefits with the gum without the lung inflammation
Back in university I'd sometimes smoke a couple of indian clove cigarettes when I had to write a paper. It would give me incredible focus all night.
I recently suggested smoke free nicotine it to an Alzheimer's patient but the stigma was to great.
I also tried nicotine gum as a pre-work out but i didn't feel it give any benefits.
In highschool, my xc running coach recommended to one student athlete, for one specific situation, to use topically loose tobacco (I guess chewing type) as some of compress for topical use on his arm or leg. But then got in trouble because of the anti-tobacco rules.
There was a recent study that showed that nicotine can boost the NAD+ salvage pathway, to boost NAD+ levels and slow aging.
I just stocked up on Lucy nicotine lozenges. They’re a great nootropic for when I have to write technical documents for work. I was able to claim it on my FSA for smoking cessation even though I haven’t smoked in years.
I should mention that I learned of this company through Dave Asprey.
Hot damn🥳 the reason I needed to start smoking again, mucho gracias🙏🏼
Jk
Umm no… I believe he recommended nicotine without the additives. 😢
Just to add that Dr Bryan Ardis also revealed that smokers also are less likely to have or deteriorate into severe COVID-19 (obviously heavy smoking and the harmful chemicals within will destroy you, but we are talking about again, the NICOTINE inside of it), and it was just creepy with the timing of that finding vs that horse from New Zealand banned smoking.
It is freaking eerie.
Along with NAC, Ivermectin, HydrChl, breathing oxygen, and, and, and!! They‘ve literally forced the masses into suicide . . . how friendly of them
How do you know it's the nicotine and not the smoke itself that protected against Covid-19?
I thought I was the only one who thought she looked like a horse. No offense to horses.
I would love to try the nicnacnaturals but I can’t order it from Canada
Regarding the studies done with smokers, the thing is, tobacco has more in it than just nicotine, for example solanesol. Who knows what else. So we can't assume it's only the nicotine that's the beneficial compound.
I'm not telling anybody to smoke but that's the traditional tasty way I enjoy it. I think it's fine to smoke a little here and there, that it's more about the overall balance of things in life.
I adore my nicotine lozenges. Started these after I quit drinking 3 years ago.
Andrew Huberman also has a great podcast covering nicotine...
Hi, how are you?, how has your experience been so far with Nicotine lozenges?
I’ve been on every kind of stimulant for ADHD but none have helped me with the follow through on tasks that I’ve gotten when taking polacrylex gum (nicotine gum).
There's also an alkaloid called lobeliene (I think) found in Lobelia Inflata (herbal supplement) that also stimulates the vagus nerve and can cause vomiting if you take too much. I wonder if it may be used in similar fashion.
I've been long distance backpacking the past 3 summers. and this last summer I decided to experiment with nicotine. I foolishly started with a 6 mg Zyn and almost browned myself, the stuff's no joke. I found the come down to be not worth the high though, maybe I need less of a dose. Even 3mg was too much for me. Definitely a good hit of dopamine there.
That dose is too much and as you mentioned the low down following the high i.e. drowsiness, nausea is unpleasant. I think microdosing perhaps 1mg , is the way to go to get a nice initial dopamine hit followed by a prolonged and sustained level of focus and stimulation for optimal benefit.
Ty I've been looking for a clean nicotine source
The first note about nicotine and the colon reminded me of that episode of House where he tells a guy 1 cigarette a day no more no less for your constipation, kinda funny but he has a point.
Are products like ON! And similar types of products ok to use ?
Tobacco also contains phenols which can compete for Niacin uptake in the GPR 109 A receptor… so just go straight to B3.
Do you have a link to the article for this study about benefits of nicotine, Mike?
Is there any harm in using the Amazon brand or Nicolette brand lozenges or gum? These “healthier” options from Nic NAC and Lucy are great but cost much more. Would love to here if anyone has experience with the more budget friendly brands
Has anyone used nicotine to stop ringing in the ears? I heard recently that it helps, and I've just begun chewing nicotine gum. I'm happy to hear the Nic Nac mints reco in this video, and I'll order those too.
It seems nicnacnaturals are only available for "pre-order" and says coming 2022.... What is up with that?
I don't find it addictive at all. Same with coffee. I think the whole addiction issue is really misunderstood by people. People self-medicate with these things and when they try to be without them, they confuse the effects of bad diet etc with withdrawals.
Never been addicted, but used it on and off. I find it tremendously beneficial. With nicotine I feel more focussed and at ease, and the dopamine rush is appreciated in these stressful times we are living in. I prefer Swedish nicotine pouches such as Skruf. I've never understood the why nicotine is said to be the most addictive drug in the world, I've never been able to form an addiction to it. I miss it when I don't have it, sure, but I can manage just fine. It's a great nootropic and to be honest I prefer it over alcohol and caffeine.
You've clearly never smoked a cigar, with a cup of fresh coffee. Try it
@@creeplife2802 oh believe me I have. Lovely. Coffee and tobacco go so well together. I love a good cigar but sadly here in Australia you’re looking at $30+ for the most basic of sticks. It’s a very rare treat for me these days.
@Big Chief why so expensive? Is it from shipping? That sucks. I would say buy bulk deals from us suppliers, that way you can get the most for your money. I love coffee, don't smoke too much because I like to relax when I have cigars. I might try the nicotine supplement. I have ocd, and as I've gotten older, I understand it more, but at times it still gets very difficult. I don't get the addiction stuff much either. I've smoked weed, cigarettes, drink liquor etc but I've noticed when I overdid it, or used it emotionally, and I cut it out. I love caffeine though, the best way is black. Such a clean fuel, like pure gasoline lol. As far as nicotine, I choose cigars because it's just natural leaf
@@creeplife2802 We have the highest tobacco taxes in the world, over $1300 a kg I think now. It sucks. Can try importing and sometimes they get through tax free, but if they get picked up a box ends up costing a fortune. I also take my coffee black, every morning. Caffeine and nicotine are the only drugs I truly love, they help to ease my depression and anxiety and help me to focus. But I have no trouble going without if i have to. I haven’t used any nicotine for over 3 months now, just don’t want to spend the money at the moment. But I will get more eventually, no doubt about that.
@Big Chief what I started doing, since I have ocd, I get this very high anxiety, I do these stupid rituals/ habits to try and ease it. So, it ends up raising my blood pressure, and high blood pressure is linked to so much bullshit. I've learned there's something called vascular dementia, essentially I think I've been making myself crazy. What I've started taking is l-citrulline. Not only does it boost the blood flow, but it decreases all that tension in my head. I also feel more fluid in a way. Just think it might help you as well. If anything it'll keep your blood pressure down so there's that
It's hard to know what dosage to take! I've been taking 1mg every 2nd or 3rd day for about 5 months now. 🤔
Why are there two separate websites for this company? The shopping cart on the site link you posted in the description isn't working.
What is the research on keto 🥑🥓🥚🧀 to improve learning and memory for students👩🎓
Mike, my husband and I both struggle with ADD. How often would we take the NicNac Natural?
I want to know too
i would start off small, slow and low doses... I heard about nicotine for protection from the bioweapon and one time I chewed a whole piece of the gum and it made me feel terrible as I think a lot of toxins were mobilized. Now I just bite off a quarter piece and mix it with a couple pieces of healthier gum .. and I feel no difference which is a good sign.
Interesting, I also found that Supplements that stop the breakdown of acetylcholine include Bacopa monnieri, Ginkgo biloba and huperzine A.
Your coupon code for 15% off - HIH for nic nac is no longer valid. Can you update it?
Hey,
I just dont wanna get the wrong idea here im in the midst of quitting snus/pouches and I got a bit discouraged about quitting now watching your video. Or are you only talking about microdosing nicotine at specific times not like everyday usage? - ive been using the cleanest product ive found in sweden - skruf super white #2 which doesnt have any sweeterners as aspartame and such.
Right now im pretty much nicotine free for like 3 days and its a struggle... should i not quit? :D
I love the Skruf also. Never been addicted to nicotine, but I am much happier and more content when using it than not. Up to you.
Have you anything that points out products like zyn are any other than nicotine and flavors?
Every time I smoke a cigar I’m so much more mellow than with a Xanax, and I want to write a song and play guitar within mins. Blows my mind but it totally makes sense.
Like grandpop always said, never ask a barber if u need a haircut.
Do we know anything about what’s in Zyn? My husband is having a slew of problems and takes Zyn all day every day.
Never having smoked I started vaping unflavored nicotine for its supposed health benefits. What I found is that vaping is incredibly addictive and it seems to affect my lungs. Now I just put a few drops of vape juice under my tongue before a workout and the effects are noticeable. I can superset with high intensity and minimal rest for about an hour until I suddenly the wall, which indicates the end of the workout.
are the addictive properties the same for you when taken orally vs inhaled?
@@Fredman5551 apparently not. I feel the urge to vape but not to put vape juice under my tongue. Andrew Hubberman has mentioned that the dopamine hit caused by Nicotine is much stronger if inhaled compared to others means of administration which may be the reason behind its addictiveness.
@@Mario-forall the rapid onset of the effect induced by smoking explains the addictiveness. This is why crack is more addictive than powdered cocaine.
@@niqwalshensemble9164 I agree. I used coke a few times and could barely feel any effect. I also tried crack once and its effect is amazing, an overwhelming feeling of wellbeing. I am sure if I had 100g of crack I would end up consuming them in one evening, which is why never used it again.
I bought the nicnac. Need something for nightshift to help keep me focused and help avoid poor memory recall.
Do they ship to Canada?
Do you think nicotine could help the ganglionic AChR as well? I have a rare autoimmune marker for this which causes dysautonomia. 🧡
The NICOTINE PATCH is being studied for the prevention and even improvements in Alzheimer’s patients. I use a patch because I’m 74 years old and I wish now to prevent this, but I also want to improve Long Covid symptoms that have persisted for over two years. I was not a smoker. The patch must be started gradually over some months. This study is out of Vanderbilt University. Also you mentioned addiction. Nicotine by itself is not addicting, but I am doing so well on it that I would be hard pressed to quit the patch.
Magnesium makes my gums bleed, and I also think it causes heart issues when doing stressful exercise. I can't find anything about magnesium making gums bleed online, anyone have any tips to what's going on?
Any studies using this with Huntington's Disease and its progression?
Does anyone have any links on how nicotine competes with nicotinic acid in the NAD pathway? I've heard some talk about this, but I can't find any in-depth information. Personally, I've seen a great benefit when using nicotine, at times, when there is a need for intense focus and better mental cognition.
Just to leave some food for thought:
Most of the data we have on the health effects of tobacco come from addicts who smoke conventional cigarettes, which contain additives not present in the natural product, and which inevitably undergo chemical reactions as a result of combustion during the smoking itself. We have a lot less data on tobacco use as practiced by the American natives since long before Europeans came to the New World: smoking (usually not inhaling) tobacco leaf that was cured _only_ and nothing else, if even cured at all. Not to mention the cultivation methods, genetics, and the prevalence of relatives of tobacco (nicotiana tabacum) such as nicotiana rustica.
