I wanted to answer briefly-none, but there is a limit on the number of characters:)
At present, there is no single nootropic with unambiguously proven effectiveness for long-term improvement of cognitive functions!
Do you want to stimulate the brain? Practice physical therapy, lead a healthy lifestyle, learn languages, and learn poetry. There is no magic pill to improve brain function.
It is necessary to stimulate the brain in a complex:
or “Brain Buttons”.
It is complex, affecting several brain functions.
A balanced combination of work and rest ensures the most productive work of the brain. But we live in a frenzied pace, we spend a lot of time earning money and career, so there is often not enough time for a full-fledged vacation. To increase brain productivity in such cases, nootropic drugs are used, which have proven to be highly effective in solving this problem.
Nootropics are called such drugs that positively affect the metabolism in nerve cells, improve blood circulation of the nervous system, stimulating thinking, memory, and concentration of attention. These drugs can be used by healthy people to cope with psychoemotional overstrain and increase brain activity. They also proved their effectiveness in various disorders of the nervous system, which are caused by traumatic brain injury, damage to the central nervous system, stroke.
The most popular nootropics include the following drugs:
It is important to emphasize that, first of all, nootropics are medicines that can only be used as prescribed by a doctor, so before starting taking a particular drug, it is recommended to consult a therapist and a neurologist.
Healthy sleep and walking in the fresh air. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. No drug gives so much ease in the head and does not increase the speed of thought, as healthy sleep and fresh air.
If you feel weak, it is difficult to concentrate on your thoughts, cognitive abilities fall, and healthy sleep + rest do not change this in any way – there is a reason to consult a doctor. There may be a chronic fatigue syndrome, in which one of the symptoms is often just a decrease in cognitive abilities.
I do not have a medical education, so you should check with an independent certified specialist for further information.
Phenotropil (phenylpiracetam). WHO calls it fonuracetam. (same goes for questions with proven effectiveness)
piracetam (nootropil) – with all the indicated advantages, clinical use is not justified by scientific data.
Don't get sick. Do not stimulate the brain if you are guided only by the desire to “get smarter”
I've read the answers ,and I agree with a lot of them…as they say, there is no smoke without fire, colleagues I want to draw attention to the facts, for sure many people have friends or relatives who have had a stroke (stroke) and probably saw that those who regularly and most importantly purposefully underwent rehabilitation(including nootropics ) they achieved a positive result (in contrast to those who, due to various circumstances, did not do this).Yes, and there are professions and activities where taking this group of drugs is a prerequisite (this is not about doping).And since different drugs have their own range of action and indications, it is simply ridiculous to determine the best one for everyone, because the selection is carried out individually (otherwise the standard would have a fabulous price and would probably be inaccessible to most ).Therefore.Thank God ,we have a choice according to the expected result !
First of all, many Nootropics are sold by prescription, but differ from more “dangerous” drugs (antidepressants, antipsychotics, tranquilizers, euphoretics, even alcohol and cigarettes) the fact that they do not directly affect the main receptors of the neuron membrane (which are affected by glutamine, gaba, dopamine, enkephalins, serotonin), and therefore have almost no side problems(for example, addiction), and the effect is comparable to the effect of vitamins (in fact, some of the nootropics are them), that is, the effect is when there is a shortage, and slightly harmful if there is an overabundance.
Conclusion: nootropics help, at a minimum, people who have cognitive impairments.
Recommendations: only with the appointment of a doctor, while an adequate neurologist and psychiatrist can also prescribe for the prevention of violations in a difficult period. Piracetam, phenibut and analogs (this is gaba, fortunately, this gaba does not pass in significant quantities through the blood-brain barrier and is used as a nutrient, caffeine (up to 200 ml per day), in fact, there are a lot of drugs and each one is selected individually by the doctor, the impact on cognitive processes is very diverse and it is difficult to identify the most effective ones, because the most effective cognitive processes are already drugs (Freud and cocaine confirm this, as well as Sartre and so on). A new and very subtle direction is neuropeptides and their analogues: noopept, semax, selank. In the end, you can even take an outright placebo and enjoy the effects, who said that glycine is bad?
In 2018, in the United States, some nootropic supplements were identified as having misleading ingredients and illegal marketing. In 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warned manufacturers and consumers about possible advertising fraud and marketing scams related to nootropic supplements. [1] It should be understood that the examples and perspectives in this article relate primarily to the United States and do not represent a global view on this topic, and also do not say that all nootropics are useless, but indeed, there are dietary supplements that overestimate the effect.
Frati P, Kyriakou C, Del Rio A, et al point out that in the age of “cosmetic neuroscience”, the first question we should ask ourselves is why should methylphenidate be considered a cognitive enhancer in the absence of scientific evidence? Many arguments can be made; first of all, the one that we think best fits this answer is “the sociological drive to find pharmacological solutions to social problems.”nootropics make up for deficiencies like vitamins, so the word “treatment” can become synonymous with cognitive enhancement. It should be understood that many [2]. Therefore, you should not discount the usual tips, such as getting enough sleep, thinking positively, engaging in recreational motor activities, and communicating with the right people (for example, a psychologist).
Unlike most previous experts of “neurologists”, it is necessary to understand the current state of the issue, and not copy the knowledge from Wikipedia, my previous comment was deleted, which I recommend doing with comments from the top who were offended by my criticism.
And they don't understand how much money it costs to test the drug according to all the rules, take a look

“Brain function?” The question is not correct. But Eleutherococcus tincture helps to fight “brain fatigue” better than other drugs: by improving the exchange of hives in the brain, it allows the brain to rest not after 8 hours , but after four. Siberian hunters could stay up for a week eating eleutherococcus berries during the sable rut. Well, you, taking a teaspoon of tincture in the morning and at lunch, will get enough sleep in 4 hours.
I answer, of course, not as a doctor, but as a teacher who works with children to improve their academic performance and brain development:
It is important to assess the general condition of the body, identify deficiencies, if any, and evaluate a biochemical blood test, analyze the daily routine in principle.
For cognitive functions such as memory and thinking, there are certain assistants, but they work when they are constantly “used”:
exercises from “Brain Gymnastics”
kinesiology exercises to activate two hemispheres of the brain simultaneously
solving puzzles, such as sudoku, complex puzzles, and so on
exercises on the Siberian board
None at all.
To date, there is no scientific evidence for the effects of nootropic substances. Therefore, there is no reason to believe that their effect is different from the placebo effect.
Nothing stimulates the brain better than a sound healthy sleep and intellectual activity)
Very good brain function is stimulated by such “drugs”: books, crosswords, quizzes and other mental activities. And watching various talk shows or mindlessly sitting on the Internet, on the contrary, does not stimulate the brain.
Eat more spicy food and no drugs you will not need and do not deny yourself a sweet..Eat a clove of garlic every day and you will eventually feel your brain “stirring.” Don't transfer money to any other shit..You don't need to thank me..Advice is not included in the price.
