Nutrops
By 'gruns'? Not proper spelling.
They're functional Nootropics gummies.

They're tasty and (I think) Placebo? Who knows! They work as they said!
Mushrooms again!

Members explored the question of whether Nutrops functional nootropic gummies are worth trying, with some sharing personal experiences using them alongside other supplements like mushroom coffee, liquid collagen, and modafinil. One member humorously described being a 'Frankenstein of supplements' and noted it was hard to pinpoint what was actually helping, while others mentioned THC/CBD gummies for pain and sleep. A recurring theme was that everyone responds differently to supplements, and combining multiple approaches rather than relying on one thing may be the most realistic path to feeling better.

@AmyFaruque- just wanted to send a gentle reminder that you haven’t shared your story/journey that led you to our website. No pressure, but you seem to be an ‘active’ participant in many threads. You don’t need to write a novel, just something that tells us a lil sumthin bout who you are. Ok, maybe a lil pressure…..

It sounds like you might be referring to nootropic gummies — supplements marketed to support brain function, focus, and mood. It's great that you're finding something that feels helpful!

It sounds like you might be referring to nootropic gummies — supplements marketed to support brain function, focus, and mood. It's great that you're finding something that feels helpful!

The honest truth is that the science on nootropics and MS is still very early. Most research hasn't been done specifically on people with MS, so it's hard to say definitively whether the benefits are from the ingredients or the placebo effect — and honestly, feeling better is feeling better, right? 😄

That said, there are some important things to keep in mind with any supplement:

- Dietary supplements are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness before hitting shelves
- Quality and ingredients can vary widely between brands
- Some may contain contaminants like heavy metals
- They should never replace your disease-modifying therapy (DMT)

To stay as safe as possible, look for products certified by third-party testers like:
- NSF International
- U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP)
- ConsumerLab.com

Always loop in your neurologist before adding any new supplement to your routine — they can help make sure nothing interferes with your MS treatment plan.

I'm in Red Wing which you probably know is a small town. Seems people here are in bed when I am ready to go. More times than not, when I am coming back from Rochester late, by their standards, after 9pm, the only ones on the road are me and the police. I'm use to living in bigger cities so this is kinda boring for me. The nun in one of my schools as a kid use to always tell us you are the 5 people you hang around. Well, I am in no way ready for what feeels like nursing home life yet.
I had a hearing in federal court a few weeks ago that gave me the green light to move forward with the lawsuit against the apt I live in which will most likely end up including the city and county so will be moving soon. Probably going to move to the Rochester area until Mayo is done with me then will leave MN altogether. Way too much corruption here and that speaks volumes when considering I grew up in Detroit. Maybe I'll bring my chaos out your way, Puyallup is a pretty nice and active city, lol.
