Nootropic: What it is, what it's for, and how it can help you

Nootropic is a natural substance, supplement or compound that aims to support and enhance the cognitive functions of the brain, such as memory, concentration, creativity and learning. The word nootropic comes from Greek noos (mente) y tropos (direction, turn), i.e. ‘that directs the mind’.

In simple terms, nootropics are known as ‘cognitive enhancers’, although they are not really magic formulas or substitutes for a healthy lifestyle. Its use, combined with good habits such as a good night's sleep, eating a balanced diet and reducing stress can be a natural support for optimising your mental performance.

Nootropics have different applications, depending on their ingredients and composition. Generally, nootropics serve to:

1. Improve concentration and focus.

2. Enhance memory and learning capacity.

3. Promote mental clarity and reduce brain fog.

4. Support resilience to stress and improve mood.

5. To increase mental energy in a sustained way, without sudden peaks and troughs.

In summary, nootropics can be especially useful for people with heavy workloads, students, entrepreneurs, creative people or anyone who wants to perform better in their day-to-day work.
