So what is the big buzz with Nootropics? Why do they keep popping up across every social media feed from here to the moon? Do they really unlock unlimited potential?

Well Nootrpics are natural or synthetic supplements that help improve brain function. Generally they are over the counter however nootropics like Adderall and Modafinil require a prescription. Some studies have shown all natural nootropics like Ginkgo Biloba, and Bacopa Monnieri enhance memory, and information processing when taken consistently over a period of time. 

Ginkgo Biloba

Extracts from the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree may also have positive effects on your brain.

Ginkgo biloba supplements have been shown to improve memory and mental processing in healthy older adults when taken daily for six weeks (30, 31, 32)

Taking Ginkgo biloba before a highly stressful task also reduces stress-related high blood pressure and decreases levels of cortisol, a type of stress hormone (33).

It’s hypothesized that some of these benefits may be due to increased blood flow to the brain after supplementing with Ginkgo biloba (34).

Bacopa Monnieri

Bacopa Monnieri is an ancient herb used in Ayurvedic medicine to enhance brain function.

Several studies have found that Bacopa Monnieri supplements can speed up information processing in your brain, reduce reaction times and improve memory (16, 17, 18).

Bacopa monnieri contains active compounds called bacosides, which protect your brain from oxidative stress and improve signaling in your hippocampus, an area of your brain in which memories are processed (19).

The effects of Bacopa Monnieri are not felt immediately and should be taken for several months for maximum benefit (20, 21).

In summary it is evident that as time goes by and more research is done nootropics are showing some promising results. As athletes, celebrities and entrepreneurs search for their competitive edge it is no surprise that they are finding their answers with nootropics.
