Nootropics (also called smart drugs) are designed to improve the function of the human brain. While both pharaceutical and natural substances have been identified and developed by scientists, this article will focus on natural substances that improve cognitive performance. Nootropics can not only aid the brain in thinking faster, but they can also improve memory, creativity, and mood. They may also play a role in protecting people from diseases such as Alzheimer's and conditions such as ADHD or Autism.
Alpha-GPC
According to WebMD, Alpha-GPC is being used in Europe as, "a prescription medication for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. ... Other uses for alpha-GPC include treatment of various kinds of dementia, stroke, and 'mini-stroke'. Alpha-GPC is also used for improving memory, thinking skills, and learning." According to Nootriment, "Alpha-GPC is easily absorbed into the bloodstream and then crosses over the blood-brain barrier."
Bacopa
Bacopa is an Indian plant used for centuries to treat cognitive problems. According to Dr. Axe, it has been used for, "Alzheimer's disease, memory loss, anxiety, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, epilepsy..."3 A number of studies on both animals and humans have proven its ability to improve memory.
Citicoline
Citicoline is a highly bioavailable form of Choline. It is reported to enhance memory, learning, logical reasoning and focus.1 Citicoline is readily absorbed (95% absorption rate) and is being used by "elderly individuals with cognitive decline and stroke survivors."2
Huperzine A
Huperzine A is one of the more exciting nootropics. According to Joe Cohen and his team of Ph.D.'s, Huperzine A helps with the following:5
- Prevents/treats Alzheimer's disease
- Improved memory of high-school students
- Promotes the growth of neural cells
- Protects the brain from oxidative damage and against Glutamate (MSG) toxicity
Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo Biloba is one of the most ancient medicinals that we know of. As early as 2600 BC it was being prescribed for medical conditions. It has been studied extensively. Studies using MRI's of the brain have measured that Ginkgo Biloba increases cerebral blood flow.4 This may be of particular interest to older people who are suffering from narrowing of the arteries in the brain.
