Is Coffee a Nootropic?
Nootropic coffee may seem like the ideal energy drink, but what if it could do much more? By combining caffeine with cognitive enhancers such as NooCupp(r) and other nootropics, NooTropic CoffeeTM combines two highly effective beverages into one convenient beverage that not only delivers an immediate caffeine hit but can also offer long-term cognitive and mood benefits.
Nootropics are brain-boosting supplements designed to increase focus, mental agility and blood flow while increasing neurotransmitter levels and memory retention. Nootropics also improve memory learning abilities while helping manage anxiety symptoms; some prescription varieties exist while some cognitive boosters may also be sold over-the-counter for healthy individuals.
Caffeine is an established nootropic and stimulant, known for its ability to increase alertness and combat fatigue. Caffeine works by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain to suppress feelings of weariness, while simultaneously raising dopamine levels and improving concentration. Unfortunately, however, overconsuming caffeine may lead to addiction and tolerance over time.
Nootropic supplements can be an invaluable addition to a balanced diet and fitness program, but before beginning one it’s wise to consult a healthcare provider first as certain nootropics may interact with medications or worsen existing health issues.
