Nootropics

Meaning

Nootropics are a diverse class of substances, including natural compounds, pharmaceuticals, and supplements, that are purported to safely enhance cognitive functions such as memory, creativity, motivation, and executive function. Often referred to as “smart drugs” or cognitive enhancers, these agents are typically characterized by a low toxicity profile and a mechanism that supports brain health without the significant side effects of psychostimulants. They are increasingly utilized in wellness protocols to optimize mental performance and neuro-longevity.
