Is it possible to raise memory, mental processing and cognitive skills on a long term level with nootropics?
Substances such as Modafinil, Caffeine, stimulating Racetams and Amphetamines seem to give only a short bust and not really contribute to long term cognitive enhancement.(Amphetamines such as Aderrall and Methylphenidates -Ritalin- even lead to cognitive decline)
Others such as Noopept and Lion's Mane are shown to "grow" new nerv cells by promoting BDNF and NGF. Various others help protecting the brain and strengthening synaptic connections: Gingko, PQQ, CoQ10, PS, Uridine etc.
Now does anybody know of substances that raises baseline cognition? If so, please leave comment and share your experience with it.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
