Key points from article :

Some of the mental clarity supplements known as nootropics have brain-boosting capacity.

Natural or man-made substances designed to support cognition and mental performance.

Caffeine, omega-3 fatty acids, gingko biloba and few other nootropics may have benefits.

Taking one or two of these nootropics will not result in a significant change.

Researchers suggest taking a concoction of most researched and validated supplements.

Experts say that nootropics are harmless but unnecessary.

Exercise, healthy diet and good sleep are great for improving mental clarity and memory.
