Nootropics

What are nootropics?

Nootropics are plant substances or dietary supplements that affect mental performance. It's a real trend that's caught on among office workers and biohackers, as nootropics expand the senses, create focus and concentration, and improve mental performance, perception, and creativity. In our shop, we also use the term "brain booster" for enhanced brain function.

Brain doping – increased performance through nootropics?

Nootropics are considered smart drugs, meaning they're not about mental abuse, but rather an intelligent way to enhance concentration and awareness so that you can perform tasks optimally. The effect is noticeable immediately after consumption and isn't comparable to a cup of coffee. You consciously perceive your environment differently. The Romanian physician and professor Corneliu E. Giurgea coined the term "nootropics" and defined their effects based on three key characteristics:

• A direct activation of the brain's integrative activities, providing an immediate positive effect on the mind.
• This activation should selectively affect the telencephalon and not manifest itself in other brain levels.
• In order to exert a restorative effect on problems of higher brain activity.

Self-optimization is the term you can expect from nootropics. Cognitive performance in the brain is noticeably and immediately enhanced. Memory, attention, and motivation in everyday life are noticeably improved. Thinking becomes easier, mood improves, and performance in everyday life, especially in professional life, noticeably improves. For example, the substance L-theanine helps reduce stress and create a feeling of relaxation.

Known active ingredients in nootropics

Nootropics work in different ways, but the individual areas can be categorized:

Concentration activation

• L-Theanine – an amino acid that's becoming increasingly popular! In boosters, it acts as an antagonist to caffeine and promotes a greater sense of relaxation, stress reduction, and improved sleep quality.
• L Tyrosine - Another amino acid that is known from boosters and can increase concentration and mental performance.
• Ginkgo biloba – can prevent stress-related blood pressure and cortisol increases, as well as improve sleep quality. In older people, it has been shown to have anti-Alzheimer's properties.
• Citicoline – a nootropic that can reduce anxiety and depression. It can also prevent cognitive decline.

Memory support

• Rhodiola Rosea - Reduces fatigue, lowers cortisol levels, and can increase alertness. Particularly effective for those with anxiety or high levels of stress.
• Bacopa monnieri - Improves memory and alertness. Also helps with stress symptoms associated with anhedonia.

Mood enhancement

• Panax ginseng
• Phosphatidylserine
• caffeine
• Ashwagandha

Strong nootropics

• Piracetam
• Phenibut
• Modafinil
• Noopept
