Nootropics could be just what’s needed if you want to enhance concentration and focus while enjoying your coffee, according to many drinks on the market that combine nootropics with taste, caffeine and the benefits of regular coffee into one drink. This trend has been popular with older generations seeking to boost cognitive function as it naturally declines with age; and also among millennials and Gen-Z who seek ways to keep energy levels up during busy work environments.

Nootropics are natural substances such as herbal extracts and amino acids that have been studied to enhance cognitive function without the negative side effects associated with traditional stimulants like caffeine and jitters. Nootropics work by modulating neurotransmitters and increasing biochemical pathways – some, such as Bacopa Monnieri and L-Theanine are used to increase attention and focus while Citicoline and N-Acetyl Cysteine may promote neurogenesis while Pine Bark Extract and Uridine Monophosphate may even provide neuroprotective properties.

Nootropics are typically safe if taken as directed. To make sure that you’re purchasing a credible nootropic product, use the Nootralize app. It will show which nootropics have been studied and any side effects reported by participants during that study.

One issue associated with nootropic coffees is their high caffeine content; some contain more than 400mg per serving – over twice what is recommended daily for adults. Furthermore, certain ingredients in these drinks could interact adversely with prescribed antidepressant or blood-thinning medication.
