If you’ve recently discovered Modafinil you have no doubt come across 2 different versions – Modafinil and Armodafinil. Now you want to know what the differences are and which version is the best.
In this post I will crack in to the core differences between these versions and shed light on which version you want to purchase.
Modafinil
Let’s start off with Modafinil. Modafinil is the original formula synthesized as a medication to keep narcoleptics awake during the day. It’s a wakefulness agent designed for individuals who have trouble with day time energy. It’s prescribed for a range of conditions and symptoms effecting a persons ability to stay awake, especially during critical hours of the day for work.
You’ve heard the stories from notable biohacking celebrities like Tim Ferriss and Dave Asprey. My own story with Modafinil is indeed a testament to the raw potency of this famous compound. If you’re lacking that crucial mental energy to blast through massive workloads, or simply function on a normal energetic level, Modafinil will quickly become your new best friend.
Armodafinil
Armodafinil is an enhanced version of Modafinil. It delivers all the same benefits and effects of Modafinil but is much more potent, and requires less of the compound to deliver the same results.
Technically, Armodafinil contains slight chemical differences and variations which makes it more potent. To illustrate this core difference, Modafinil comes in 200mg tablets while Armodafinil comes in 150mg tablets.
Having taken both Modafinil and Armodafinil, I can say Armodafinil is indeed a stronger and longer lasting compound.
Modafinil vs Armodafinil + 4 different brands
Now you know about Modafinil and Armodafinil but what’s the deal with these other names Like Modalert, Modvigil, Waklert, and Artvigil?
It’s like another layer of confusing info! You’ll see this is not the case once you understand the following:
Modafinil and Armodafinil are the chemical compounds while everything else are simply brand names made by 2 different pharmaceutical companies – Sun Pharma and HAB Pharma.
For example,
- Modalert is Modafinil made by Sun Pharma
- Modvigil is Modafinil made by HAB Pharma
- Waklert is Armodafinil made by Sun Pharma
- Artvigil is Armodafinil made by HAB Pharma
So you can see there are 2 types of core compounds (Modafinil + Armodafinil) 2 companies who make them (Sun Pharma + HAB Pharma) and 4 different brands split between the 2 companies (Modalert, Modvigil, Waklert, Artvigil.)
What and where to buy
Now you want to know what version of Modafinil to buy and where to buy it from safely. I’ve tried all versions of Modafinil/Armodafinil and discovered Modalert 200mg is the gold standard. Product from Sun Pharma is considered the industry standard product. They manufacture both Modafinil and Armodafinil in the form of Modalert and Waklert.
For me, Modalert 200mg delivers a potent clean boost in energy. I’ve taken Waklert and Artvigil but find they are too stimulating and strong for my preference. Modalert 200 is the sweet spot.
For the longest time I was purchasing my Modafinil from Duck Dose but they have closed up shop for good. I now recommend purchasing Modafinil from Modafinil Star. They have great customer service and are committed to providing top notch product. I trust them to deliver the proper goods.
Final thoughts
At the end of the day Modafinil and Armodafinil are very similar, with Armodafinil being a slightly stronger and longer lasting compound. Whatever version of Modafinil you choose to purchase I guarantee you are in for quite a productive day. I recommend checking out my book The Modafinil Manual for a complete guide to the compound. It’s loaded with pro tips from a seasoned user and guides you through the entire process of getting it safely, and using it effectively.
