Nootropics

A nootropic is a dietary supplement capable of enhancing brain or mental function, including memory, focus and cognitive speed. The most classic and well-known nootropic is caffeine.

Matcha green tea is a potent source of phytochemicals and compounds beneficial for regulating mood and cognition. Matcha contains both caffeine and L-theanine, which have clear beneficial effects on sustained attention, memory, and suppression of distraction. As well as this, L-theanine was found to lead to relaxation by reducing caffeine-induced arousal.

Brain Booch is a nootropic tonic specifically designed for long term improvements in productivity, energy and focus. It contains matcha green tea, Rhodiola and Lion’s Mane mushroom, all of which have nootropic and anti-fatigue properties.

Lion’s Mane is a mushroom that has been used for thousands of years in ancient Chinese medicine. Some of its benefits include enhanced cognitive function and mental clarity, protection from oxidative damage, and cognitive cell protection.

Studies have proven that natural nootropics (such as caffeine, L-theanine, rhodiola, Lion’s Mane) are successful in boosting brain function while at the same time making the brain healthier. Synthetic nootropics (such as modafinil, adderal, ritalin) can boost brain function with more immediate results, however, they can have adverse side effects, and questions have been raised about their sustainability for use over long periods, and their effect on overall health.
