Do nootropics really boost focus and memory?Experts weigh in on 'smart drugs'
Briefly

Nootropics, commonly known as "brain boosters," are substances designed to enhance cognitive performance and improve functions like memory and decision-making.
Dr. Scott Small explains that nootropics function by targeting specific areas of the brain to improve performance beyond the normal baseline, benefiting aspects like memory and processing speed.
Nootropics are categorized into three classes: eugeroics that promote alertness, prescription stimulants like Ritalin, and natural dietary supplements available to everyone.
Natural nootropic supplements may include ingredients like Lion's mane, Rhodiola rosea, and caffeine, and can potentially enhance mood, reduce anxiety, and improve focus.
