Is Coffee a Nootropic?
Nootropics have seen rapid growth over the last several years as more and more people recognize their natural cognitive-enhancing potential. These “smart drugs” are designed to stimulate memory and focus while sparking creativity and building mental stamina – qualities which coffee cannot provide! Although effective, coffee does not count as an actual nootropic; in fact, high doses may actually harm cognition! Nootropics differ from caffeine in that they don’t target the nervous system for an instant burst of energy followed by an equally abrupt crash; instead they act like brain-boosting vitamins by providing sustainable cognitive advantages – ideal compared to coffee!
Nootropics are naturally-occurring substances that aim to enhance cognition. Nootropics can be found in many foods and nutritional supplements, such as ginseng, fish oil, tea and chocolate; the most well-known nootropic is caffeine; studies have demonstrated its ability to improve alertness while improving certain aspects of cognition in healthy individuals.
Nootropics may be effective on their own, but they also complement each other well when combined with other cognitive-enhancing ingredients. For instance, caffeine’s brain-boosting benefits can be amplified when combined with L-theanine – an amino acid known for its relaxing qualities – to produce enhanced alertness, focus, and reaction time benefits. This has been demonstrated through clinical research studies.
