Introduction to Nootropics
For those hearing about nootropics for the first time, it is a difficult term to define, let alone
understand what it means. We have put together a simple review and guide to introduce users to
the concept of nootropics and how they can be used in everyday life. This article will discuss the
definition of Nootropics, the risks involved, the concept of "stacking" nootropics, and the best
way to take them.
What are nootropics?
Nootropics are drug compounds used to improve cognitive performance and were first
discovered in the 1960s. There is extensive research behind many nootropics that show they
improve many important areas of learning. The spectrum of nootropics is wide, so we will only
include those that have the most research behind them and have shown significant improvements
in cognitive performance. Along with the improvement of healthy people, extensive research has
been done with nootropics used to relieve the symptoms of brain diseases such as Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis (MS). Nootropics help protect the brain and central nervous
system from damage.
Some examples
Some examples of substances that affect the central nervous system but are not classified as
nootropics are caffeine, nicotine, marijuana, or Ritalin. Nootropics really meet a set of criteria
that are considered nutritional supplements rather than drugs. These include:
Aniracetam - This is a stimulant and cognitive enhancer that acts as fast as 20 minutes
L-Theanine – Found naturally in green tea, it reduces anxiety and improves learning
Piracetam is one of the most studied nootropics for cognitive enhancement
Pramiracetam is a stronger variation of Piracetam that improves memory and learning ability.
All of the above do not have a harmful effect on the body.
How to get them?
It is important to understand that nootropics are not a magic fix for optimal cognitive function,
but must be used synergistically with other areas of life to achieve optimal results. These include
the obvious, such as eating a healthy diet rich in essential fatty acids and foods such as
vegetables, protein and whole grains, getting plenty of sleep and exercise, maintaining levels of B
vitamins in the diet for energy production, and staying hydrated. by drinking water regularly
throughout the day. Nootropics can be "stacked" together to increase results. A regular cup of tea
is a good source of choline. Choline is found naturally in foods such as eggs and nuts and is a
precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine found in the brain. This means that choline is
converted into acetylcholine, which acts as fuel for mental energy and mental capacity. The level
of choline is depleted in our brain as we increase the level of mental function by using nootropics,
so we need to supplement that by including a source of choline in our nootropics package. (We
will explore the types of choline in more detail in future articles.)
Risks
Although there are no known dangers or risks for the body around nootropics, like
anything else, it is important to understand that taking more than the recommended
daily dose can cause problems such as stomach upset (because it can cause digestive
problems in the GI tract). or also headache (due to cholinergic depletion from
increased brain activity). It is important to know how much you should take of a
particular nootropic because it varies from person to person.
To conclude
Nootropics seem to have many benefits in many areas of life. However, it is recommended that
you do your due diligence before introducing your body to the various nootropics available. It is
also clear that nootropics should be used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle to achieve
optimal effects. Nootropics can be seen to improve our mental function by improving and
optimizing the processes that already exist in our brain and body, which is a great way to
maintain brain health.
