Smart Drugs and Nootropics

Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Acetyl-L-Carnitine is mitochondrial energy enhancer, found in some common foods, such as milk. ALC improves memory and learning, increases memory span and alertness. It also protects the brain from the effects of aging, inhibitting build up of fatty deposits in the nerve cells.

Adrafinil

Also known as Olmifon, Adrafinil helps to improve brain chemical processes without affecting heart rate or pressure and was specifically designed to treat narcolepsy (sleeping in the daytime). It can enhance awareness, mental clarity and alertness, allowing the individual to remain both alert and awake during the day.

Aniracetam

A powerful cognitive enhancer that has shown to have protective effects on the brain. Human study participants improved their scores on a number of intelligence and memory tests. Chemical structure similar to that of Piracetam. More effective in treating a wider range of problems than Piracetam.

Centrophenoxine

Previously known as Lucidril, Centrophenoxine is an intelligence booster and may also have some anti-aging properties. It removes lipofuscin deposits (the stuff of which “age spots” are made), which results in improved learning ability. It also repairs the synapses, facilitating better communication between the cells.

Deprenyl

Originally developed as anti-depressant, it has shown in many different studies since mid 80s to extend life span in laboratory rats, via enhanced dopamine. It’s also used as a preventative for Alzeheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, to treat depression and to improve mobility, awareness and quality of life.

Desmopressin

This man-made peptide hormone assists the mind to form and store memories. With rapid memory recollection, Desmopressin helps recall facts, figures, names and faces. It also helps regulate bodily functions, being useful to control enuresis, or bedwetting, in both children and adults.

Gerovital H3

Developed in 1940s by Dr Ana Aslan, it improves memory and alertness, reduces depression, increases energy and general wellbeing. Gerovital-H3® improves cell metabolism and has an effect on many mental and body functions. It improves vitality and concentration and alleviates joint stiffness.

Hydergine

Hydergine is reported to increase mental abilities, prevent damage to brain cells from insufficient oxygen (hypoxia), and may even reverse existing damage to brain cells. It protects the brain from free-radicals damage, increases intelligence, memory, learning and recall, normalizing systolic blood pressure.

Mito-Pro 2

It owes its name to mitochondria, which produces ATP, energy giving substance. As such, Mito Pro helps improve energy levels and stamina. Ths also results in improved cognitive abilities and general sense of wellbeing, thanks to a unique combination of ingredients contained in Mito Pro 2.

Nicergoline

Known under brand name of Sermion, Nicergoline has been around for over 40 years, as a brain supplement. By increasing blood flow to the brain, Nicergoline enhances mental clarity, concentration and perception. It's also used for treating Alzheimer and it inhibits creation of blood clots.

Picamilone

A powerful nootropic and psychoenergizing agent that improves memory, relieves anxiety and protects against stress. It has potent antidepressant and tranquilizing effects, without muscle relaxation or drowsiness. It combats fatigue and mental tiredness, reduces uneasiness and mood swings and restores cheerfulness.

Piracetam

The prototypical nootropic drug, maintains optimum mental activity and may improve memory. Has pronounced antistress and antioxidant properties and even works as an immune stimulant. The effects of piracetam are enhanced by taking centrophenoxine at the same time.

Pramiracetam

Pramiracetam is an analogue of Piracetam, the original nootropic. It is effective in improving learning and memory capacity, said to improve attention and time-space orientation in patients with mild cerebral decline. Pramiracetam also be a mild antidepressant, with sedative effects.

Pyritinol

Pyritinol is a vitamin-B6 derivative nootropic that may be the oldest smart drug in the world! Its wide ranging benefits include: improving brain glucose uptake, acting with potent antioxidant abilities and enhancing the immune system (by improving neutrophil activity, the white blood cells that kill germs).

SAMe

SAMe has been described as the day-time alertness hormone, in the same way that melatonin has been described as the night time sleep hormone. SAMe is the 3rd most concentrated chemical in the liver, so it has been widely used to correct liver disorders such as cirrhosis and even hepatitis.

Vasopressin

A hormone secreted by the posterior portion of the pituitary gland. It's been used to treat memory deficit caused by aging, amnesia and senility. Thus, Vasopressin is effective for faster and better memory recall and improved cognition. It should be used only on occasions when you require to be at a peak mental state.

Vinpocetine

A powerful memory enhancer, Vinpocetine facilitates cerebral metabolism by improving cerebral blood flow, stepping up brain cells energy molecule production and increasing utilization of glucose and oxygen by the brain cells. This leads to improved memory and other cognitive functions.
