What is a Nootropic supplement?
Nootropics supplements, also known as cognitive enhancers, are a supplement designed to boost mental performance, maintain focus, enhance memory and support energy production.
These brain power supplements often contain a combination of natural compounds and nutrients backed by science, known as a ‘stack.’ Nootropic supplements are formulated with a tailored blend of nutrients to feed the brain, like B vitamins, Rhaodiola, Green Tea and CEREBOOST® (American ginseng).
These nootropic stacks support optimal mental performance, support energy production and provide several key benefits, including:
- Learning and memory enhancement
- Supporting brain function and performance under physical and mental stress
- Increasing alertness and attention
- Supporting overall brain health

Nootropics FAQ
Do any nootropics actually work?
There’s evidence to suggest that certain nootropics may boost cognitive performance, help maintain focus and improve memory1. For example, caffeine is one of the most widely consumed nootropic substances, stimulating the nervous system and increasing alertness2. That said, the effects of some nootropic ingredients still requires further investigation.
What is the most effective nootropic?
There are a number of different natural nootropics that are designed to feed the brain and enhance everyday mental performance. In particular, B vitamins help to boost mental energy and improve concentration and clarity. It’s for this reason that we’ve formulated each of our Nootropic enhancers with B vitamins, along with a range of other brain-loving ingredients.
What nootropics work right away?
Some nootropics, like caffeine and L-Theanine (green tea), are believed to have fast-acting effects, especially when it comes to supporting brain energy levels. However, most nootropic supplements provide the best results after an extended period of use3.
