9-Me-BC
What is 9-Me-BC?
9-Me-BC is categorized as a cognitive enhancer.
It is a methylated derivative of β carboline. The MBC stands for Methylβ carboline.
Beta-Carbolines (BCs) are derived from tryptophan and these properties are present in the human brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and plasma.
In studies, 9-Me-BC showed exerting a neuroprotective effect. The Caspase-3 activity (which plays a crucial role in programmed cell death) was decreased, while the ATP content was increased.
In the brain, 5-HT1A receptors are located on neurons responsible for transmitting information to other neurons.
When these receptors receive signals from other cells, they cause the regeneration and protection of neurons. When neurons fire, they send signals to other neurons, causing a chain reaction in the rain.
What are the effects of 9-Me-BC
- Enhances overall functionality and alertness. It improves dopamine synthesis and stimulates dopamine receptors, in turn, directly improving motivation and memory retention. (it acts in the opposite way other stimulants do, other stimulants are said to deplete dopamine levels)
- Cognitive enhancement – specifically in short term memory dependent tasks
- Improves mitochondrial respiratory chain. As ATP production increases, so does overall functionality in the body as well as mental processes.
- Dopamine is the essential neurotransmitter that allows feelings of satisfaction and pleasure as part of the reward system.
- Sharper and faster thinking with clean stimulation
- Increased hippocampal dopamine levels due to increased nuerotrophin synthesis
- Decreases toxic inflammation in the brain
- Protects against lipopolysaccharide toxicity - It inhibits the proliferation of microglia induced by toxin treatment that disrupts cognitive function.
- Prevents ‘mental blockages’
- Protective effects on dendrites and synapses through up-modulation and differentiation.
- Anti-inflammatory effects by decreasing the inflammatory cytokines
What dosage should I take?
There is no set strict dosage however the current recommended dosage is 15-30mg per day
