Nootropics is Herb Nutritionals Co., Ltd’s main ingredient series in 2014 and 2015. According to the Wikipedia, nootropics are also named smart drugs, cognitive enhancers, memory enhancers, neuro enhancers, and intelligence enhancers. Nootropics can be in the categories of supplements, nutraceuticals, drugs, etc.
With different mechanisms of action, nootropics are listed in different categories:
Herbal nootropics
As natural nootropics, herbal nootropics are gaining popularity among the clients and end users since they are natural, safe and no serious side effects. The top natural nootropics include huperzine A, vinpocetine, bacopa monnieri, Cat’s Claw (AC-11), St John’s Wort, Ginkgo biloba, and many of which are registered in the European Pharmacopeia. Other herbal sourced ingredients such as Kava Kava, Ashwagandha, Lion’s Mane, valerian root extract are also usually formulated in dietary supplements and drugs.
Racetam nootropics
Racetams are traditional nootropics, and are the earliest nootropics with the founding nootropic as piracetam. Piracetam may be the cheapest racetam, and other racetam ingredients are developed according to piracetam’s chemical structures. Other popular racetams include Aniracetam, Oxiracetam and Pramiracetam, Phenylpiracetam, Nefiracetam, Coluracetam, etc with chronological order.
Choline-containing nootropics
Choline itself is not a nootropic. Acetylcholine does. The choline sources nootropics work in the same way: Converse the interior choline content into acetylcholine. The more acetylcholine creates, the more powerful effects it will be. Therefore, we may say not all choline sources are created equal. Alpha GPC is said to be the most effective choline source as a nootropic. And that’s why Alpha GPC is the most important choline ingredient that we manufacture in this choline niche. Other choline ingredients are citicoline (CDP Choline), choline bitartrate, and Centrophenoxine. Phosphatidylcholine (PC),(Phosphatidyl idylserineps) are very popular since 2012.
These are the three most popular nootropics. Of course, there are more categories, such as B-Vitamin derivatives, Ampakines, minerals, etc.
List of nootropics potency in memory, learning, focus, enery, mood, and reasoning is also available. We may write more nootropics comparisons reviews in the coming months.
