What is the benefits of Mind Nutrition when using a Nootropic?

A Nootropic is a substance that benefits the Mind through nutrition. It can improve mental functions such as attention, memory, and intelligence. Generally, it comes in a powder form; a capsule or a pill. More potent forms also exist in the marketplace. The benefits of it can depend on a person's unique needs. Some might be looking for a way to improve mental performance and focus. While others may want to promote better sleep patterns or enhance their energy levels. When used for a short time they enhance concentration, memory and mood. These substances can provide neuroprotection, but without causing cognitive impairment.

Where did the concept of Nootropics come from?

The term "nootropics" was coined by the Romanian psychologist and chemist Dr. Corneliu E. Giurgea, from the Greek words νοῦς (nous), or "mind," and τρέπειν (trepein), meaning "to turn." Dr. Giurgea synthesized piracetam for use in Soviet space program to increase alertness. Due to the political tension in the United States caused by the Cold War, all research and development on nootropics was suspended in 1967. In 1972, more than a decade after Dr. Giurgea's death, this research was resurrected by researchers Nootrobox and Cephalon, Inc. with their manufacturing partner, Cephalon. The universities of New York, Chicago, and Harvard contributed to the re-capacitation of clinical trials in adults for nootropics. Now there is abundant evidence that these compounds provide cognitive benefits and can improve long-term cognitive performance. To what extent these cognitive benefits occur is debatable and the subject of intense research and debate.

There are a variety of nootropics available today, each with a unique mechanism. However, there are also some similarities among them. It is not uncommon for people to have misconceptions about some products. Especially when they are looking at them from a  pharmaceutical perspective. Particularly in the case of cognitive enhancement with nootropics, it is very easy to assume that because it doesn't help heal disease, cure an illness, or stop someone from becoming sick it cannot be as beneficial as a consumable. Most nootropics fall under the category of 'cognitive enhancers'. They work in a manner similar to cognitive enhancers such as amphetamines, caffeine, L-theanine, etc.

Who takes nootropics and why are they popular?

Nootropics are widely regarded as a means to combat ageing, improve intelligence, and boost memory. They were originally designed for the Soviet Union's space program in the 1960s. The profile of a typical nootropic user is male, young, educated, and based on other survey results. Users tend to be highly educated and well off. Nootropics are popular with students and people who work in high-stress jobs, such as surgeons. It is not uncommon for people to have misconceptions about nootropic medications, particularly when they are looking at them from a purely pharmaceutical perspective. It is very easy to assume that because it doesn't help heal disease, or cure an illness, it cannot be as beneficial as other drugs or supplements. Many people use nootropics for reasons other than "medicinal" but rather as smart drug enhancers.
