What Are Nootropics?

“Nootropic” is a broad popular term used for substances taken with the goal of supporting aspects of cognition. In consumer supplement marketing, the term can encompass caffeine, amino acids, botanicals and multi-ingredient formulas.

Why the term can mislead

Products grouped under the same label can have very different ingredients, doses and evidence. Evaluate the specific substance and outcome rather than assuming everything called a nootropic works the same way.
