Nootropics, often referred to as "smart drugs" or cognitive enhancers, are substances that claim to improve cognitive function, particularly executive functions, memory, creativity, or motivation, in healthy individuals.
Common nootropics include caffeine, which is widely used for its ability to improve alertness and concentration; L-Theanine, often paired with caffeine for its potential to enhance cognitive performance while reducing stress; and creatine, which shows promise in improving memory and thinking skills in individuals who don't consume meat.
Other substances categorized as nootropics are racetams (like Piracetam), which are synthetic compounds believed to offer a mental boost, and nootropic herbs like Ginkgo biloba and Bacopa monnieri, known for their purported memory-enhancing properties.
However, the use of nootropics comes with risks. The efficacy and safety of many nootropics, particularly synthetic ones, are not well-established due to limited research. Potential side effects can vary widely depending on the substance and the dosage and might include insomnia, heightened blood pressure, increased heart rate, and dependency issues.
WARNING: the quality and composition of nootropic supplements can be inconsistent.
