Nootropics in general: How to make the right choice

in #advice6 years ago

How to optimize brain function?


source

By using nootropics( from natural sources - if possible).


Nootropics ( smart drugs )are chemical compounds that improve mental functions such as mood, focus, memory, motivation and Attention range.

Anyone who needs them - it can use them

The word nootropic was coined in the early 1970s the Romanian physician Corneliu E. Giurgea.
It comes from the Greek root of "noos" meaning Mind and "tropein" meaning towards.


According to the method of origin they are divided into two main groups:

synthetic (obtained in the laboratory)

and natural ( ones found in nature ).

Group between

Found in nature but have to "pass" the chemical adjustment to be can utilized in brain.


Mode of operation?

Human brain is the most complex thing in the world.We should first know how the brain works (which we do not know yet) for to understand the Work of Nootropics.

So, Activity Nootropics has not been explored until the end.

We know some of the mechanisms of action

  • Nootropics can improve the neurochemical activity of your brain (increase concentration substances) such as dopamine, acetylcholine (learning neurotransmitter), serotonin, GABA, glutamate, adrenaline and epinephrine.
    They can also reduce stress-related neurotransmitters, such as cortisol and glutamate, resulting in better mood, lower anxiety, faster learning, easier relaxation, better sleep, and lower stress.

  • Some nootropics increase brain growth factors, such as neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) regulating function and growth of neurons in key brain regions.

  • Some nootropics improve blood flow, leading to
    less stress,
    fasteres oxygen supply to the brain,
    better absorption of nutrients in the brain.

  • Some nootropics increase neuroprotection.


Choice of good ( for you ) nootropics

Today there is a multitude of nootropics and good the choice of the is not easy to make.

In addition, combinations of two and more nootropics can be used ( stack - for to cover the wide range of action ).

Before you go shopping, it's not bad think about a couple of things.

You have to decide how much money you can allocate on a monthly basis.

The most important thing is to determine the exact reason or goal you want to achieve.

For to facilitate selection

Types of Nootropics

  1. for memory
  2. for attention and focus
  3. for mood and depression
  4. for aging and longevity
  5. for anxiety
  6. sleep, recovery and improvement of dreams.

When you have determined the goal then you go are in the Research.

If possible, the following criteria are always well respected:

  • what is more natural
  • it has as little side effects as possible
  • that can be used in combination with the other
  • and that then (combination) has as few side effects as possible.

Do not forget, nootropics work individually, meaning 1 nootropics does not work the same to you and for to another person.
Even the finished stock will not work the same.

Therefore, it is best to conduct your own research - what you feel when taking the medicine.

The safest thing is to "go slowly" start with a single drug with lower doses, so slowly increase the dose to optimum action (while no harmful effect).

If you want multiple action together,
add another drug in combination with the first one.

If you are not sure in that what you work, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
In any case, gradually introduce 1 or more nootropics into your daily life.

Try to detected some effects from action nootropics.

For example, how can are long have you been doing before and how long after taking the drug (learning, reading, drawing, writing, and other mental activities).

This can be very accurately compared, and then you can judge whether you are satisfied to the effect of the drug or medication.
If you are not, again in the research - it's about you,
so to research until you find the right solution ( be patient ).

Set realistic requirements and do not forget - for to find the best combination, this is process wich takes.

I would personally listen to the experiences of others, but would not apply them to myself without my own research.

The type of nootropic should be selected according to the specifics of your request

Here are some examples

The pilots need to be alert, focused, ready for quick reactions, stress resistant, they must are remember lesson for accidents.


source
It is logical that they need to combine more nootropics.


Entrepreneurs - almost the same as pilots.


source

Pilots are under stress while in the air while entrepreneurs and when they are sleeping.


Scientists


source

They need something and for courage.


Students and schoolboys


source

Something for sleeping...


And for the end

All that can help us without any adverse consequences is desirable.
Especially if it's about our brain, which is the director of all the companies in our body.

What you do think you?
