Nootropics and Hormones

Meaning

Nootropics and Hormones explores the synergistic or often antagonistic interactions between compounds classified as cognitive enhancers (nootropics) and the body’s endogenous endocrine signaling molecules, such as thyroid hormones or neurosteroids. Understanding this interaction is vital because the existing hormonal status sets the physiological baseline upon which any nootropic efficacy is ultimately expressed. Certain hormones can significantly potentiate or, conversely, dampen the desired cognitive effects of supplementary agents.
