The Nootropics category is going to grow. I’ll report back on my personal experience next week. YAWN is your use-as-needed primer for deep sleep optimization.Īttributes: Relaxation, Restfulness, and Rejuvenation. SPRINT is your use-as-needed boost for bursts of intense mental focus. RISE is your daily nootropic designed to enhance your baseline cognitive performance.Īttributes: Memory, Stamina, and Resilience. My ExperienceĪ couple of days ago I dropped $108 on Nootrobox’s Full Stack, a set of three different capsules. In the past couple of months, I’ve seen articles on Nootrobox in Bloomberg, Business Insider, The New York Times and specialized brain food review websites including Brain Wiz. I’ve also had silicon valley friends tell me that the engineer class is using Nootropics. A ‘legal’ crime that drives over $9 billion in pharmaceutical sales. The fact that we indiscriminately prescribe Adderall and its cousins Ritalin and Concerta to our ‘bored and restless’ kids is a crime. Hello parents of teens: Adderall is High Tech speed. I must say that I am dismayed by the growth in Adderall sales. A crime that drives over $9 billion in pharmaceutical sales. Hello parents: Adderall is High Tech speed. However, although I view Adderall as an extremely effective production enhancer, I do not like coming off of it though it is nowhere as bad as speed. I’ve tested Adderall and found it, like speed, to totally dial up my energy and ability to get jobs done in shorter periods of time. I’ve used caffeine and the ever-present pot of advertising agency office coffee to juice up my day, mental activity and acuity. I was too jittery and coming down off speed was horrendous. Speed worked (I actually thought that I got much smarter and focussed in addition to having higher energy.) But, to put it mildly, I did not like the side effects. In those days, I experimented with LSD and black beauties, more commonly known as speed. I have been fascinated with the art and science of brain enhancement since I was in college. Why would I want to test the efficacy of products that claim to increase cognitive agility? Hey, I am a member of the Baby Boomer generation. Thus, our products and formulations are continuously updated to integrate the latest science and research. We understand that human understanding and research behind nootropics, cognitive modulation, and broader biohacking is constantly evolving and improving. Nootropics describe a broad classification of compounds with cognitive enhancing properties with minimal side-effects and appropriate for long-term use. Nootropics (pronunciation: noh-ə-TROP-iks)-also called smart drugs and cognitive enhancers-are drugs, supplements, or other substances that improve cognitive function, particularly executive functions, memory, creativity, or motivation, in healthy individuals.Īnd, here is the description from Nootrobox, the VC-funded company that is supplying me with my three-pill set. I hear you saying, “Nootropics?” Here’s the Wiki definition… Nootrobox is a nootropics or “smart drugs” company. Remember the movie Limitless and the little clear pill NZT that turned Bradley Cooper into a raging genius? He had entered the new world of nootropics. It would have been nice to tell you that I became Bradley Cooper. I did not receive enough benefit – as in, making me enough of a smarter boy to merit ingesting the nootropics and the cost. I originally wrote this 18 months ago and promised an update.
