Nootropic

Also known as Cognitive enhancer

A substance taken with the goal of supporting memory, focus, or other aspects of thinking.

Nootropic is a broad, informal label for anything used to support cognition, from caffeine to specialised compounds. It does not imply a guaranteed effect or a regulated standard.

Quality of evidence ranges widely. Treat strong claims with caution and weigh the research behind each ingredient individually.
