Nootropics
Nootropic Supplements
Nootropics are a group of substances that have a positive effect on brain function, concentration, memory or learning ability. In addition to these effects, they can also improve sports performance or sleep. These dietary supplements are particularly suitable for individuals with mentally demanding jobs, students, drivers, athletes or computer gamers. The most well‑known natural nootropics include:
- Caffeine is one of the most popular stimulants and psychoactive substances, in addition to promoting fat burning, which is why it is usually included in fat burners and pre‑workouts;
- L‑Theanine promotes relaxation, reduces stress, anxiety and improves cognitive function. It works synergistically with caffeine, which prolongs its effectiveness and alleviates the feeling of energy slump;
- Ginkgo Biloba is one of the most well‑known plant extracts supporting brain function, especially through improved blood microcirculation;
- Citicoline also known as CDP choline, indirectly promotes signal transmission between individual neurons, thereby improving memory and cognitive function;
- Ashwagandha probably the best known adaptogen, reduces stress levels and feelings of anxiety. In addition, it also promotes sleep and cognitive function;
- Korean Ginseng improves cognitive function, memory and also helps with adaptation to stress;
- Lion's Mane stimulates the production of nerve growth factor and potentially delays brain aging;
- Acetyl‑L‑Carnitine acts as a precursor to acetyl‑l‑choline, a neurotransmitter that transmits signals in areas of the brain, improving memory and learning.
