What Are Nootropics?

Good question, What Are Nootropics?  They are often referred to as ‘smart drugs’ or cognition enhancers and they are advertised as providing an improvement in your cognitive function, particularly, memory, creativity or motivation in healthy individuals.

In our fast pace of life, we all want to get more things done, potentially fast track our careers and have the drive and energy to make the most of every opportunity. Let’s delve a bit deeper into smart drugs and see if they could help you.

Are Nootropics Safe?

Nootropics are sometimes categorized into seven different types; Racetams, Choline, Vitamin B Derivatives, Peptides, Ampakines, Natural Nootropics, and Smart Drugs.

The most common and popular nootropics seem to be the racetam group of supplements.  These include, Piracetam, along with Pramiracetam, Oxiracetam, and Aniracetam, all of which are composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen.  These are all known to improve memory, mood, focus, learning ability and energy.

Some research will make a distinction between nootropics and ‘smart drugs’ and suggest that whilst nootropics are safe, there may be more side effects with ‘smart drugs’.
