Nootropic brain enhancement


Have you wanted to ultimately be smarter than you are, or were at any point in your lifetime? 

Well, now you can buy a new brain at Walmart.
 



Yeah, right.  We aren’t that advanced, yet.

Neuroscience has given us the option of a more productive brain. Supplements of all kinds fill the shelves in all sorts of vitamin sections of stores.  This option, to lead you to that smarter goal, can  increase your productivity, improve concentration and create massive amounts of motivation.

Nootropics.

Nootropics, memory enhancers, neuro enhancers, cognitive enhancers, and intelligence enhancers, are drugs, supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional foods that purportedly improve mental functions such as cognition, memory, intelligence, motivation, attention, and concentration. Nootropics are thought to work by altering the availability of the brain's supply of neurochemicals (neurotransmitters, enzymes, and hormones), by improving the brain's oxygen supply, or by stimulating nerve growth.

Nootropic - having positive effects on organically impaired cognition or nervous system function; said of certain drugs. (http://web.archive.org/web/20080130031824/http://www.mercksource.com/pp/us/cns/cns_hl_dorlands.jspzQzpgzEzzSzppdocszSzuszSzcommonzSzdorlandszSzdorlandzSzdmd_n_10zPzhtm)

Commonly referenced memory drugs, or nootropics are, Racetams.  These are sometimes cited as having few side-effects with a wide therapeutic window. The well known racetams are piracetam, the oldest and most well-known of the group, aniracetam, oxiracetam, pramiracetam and noopept.  Racetams function to control glutamate receptors.  Glutamate receptors are in the brain. There are two types of glutamate receptors, AMPA and NDMA. The neurotransmitter, glutamate, binds to these receptor sites and assists in learning and memory formation as well as muscle coordination and other important neurological functions.  Other receptors work in coordination with racetams.  Cholingeric receptors bind to acetylcholine, which is another important neurotransmitter involved in cognitive function. This binding process causes increased alertness and sensory perception.

 
 
 
Importantly, racetams aren’t based amphetamine chemical structures like the “smart drug” ADHD medication.  Some will use these illegally, and end up having an addiction.  Racetams are sage.


One experiment using the nootrophic piracetam was printed in the Georgian Med News. 2013 Jul-Aug;(220-221):64-71.  Study of acetylsalicylic Acid role in the potentiation of antiamnesic and neuroprotective properties of piracetam in rats with alloxan diabetes. 

“Co-administration of piracetam with acetylsalicylic acid was accompanied by an expressed antiamnetic potential - the reduction of early markers of proteins degradation (aldehydephenylhydrazones, APH) by 21,7% (p<0,05) and late markers of proteins degradation (ketonephenylhydrazones, KPH) by 23,8% (p<0,001) was noted. This combination was 15,7% (p<0,05) more active than piracetam according to the effect upon KPH. NO2-/NO3- level was also decreased by 30,3% (p<0,05) in comparison with alloxan-diabetic rats. The significant anti-platelet effect was observed: degree of collagen-induced platelet aggregation was reduced by 56,8% (p<0,01), ADP (5 μmol/l)-induced - by 31,7% (p<0,01), ADP (20 μmol/l)-induced - by 47,3% (p<0,01) as compared to the hyperglycemic rats. Such an increase in nootropic activity of piracetam may be assumed to be directly related to the ability of acetylsalicylic acid to improve microcirculation in the ischemic areas of the brain in diabetes and probably to its neuroprotective potential.”

Neurological advances have put you in the place to make you a smarter individual.  We go to gyms like it is our second nature.  Why not exercise our most inspiring part of the body?
Nootropics.
