Nootropics

Buy Nootropics?

If you want to buy Nootropics, Natuurlijk Presteren is the right place for you. We have a lot of knowledge about nootropics and have various products in our range. The nootropics that we have in our range are natural and are therefore also called natural nootropics. These types of supplements are also called nootropics (plural), brain supplements or "cognition enhancers". The latter name is an English term for "cognition enhancers".

What are Nootropics?

Nootropics or Noötropics are substances that have a stimulating effect on human cognition. Cognition refers to cognitive brain functions such as: attention, concentration, memory, information processing and of course executive functions (planning, organizing, keeping an overview, etc.). In general, nootropics can be divided into two groups: Natural Nootropics and Synthetic Nootropics.

Natural Nootropics

Natural Nootropics are naturally based nootropics. You probably even have these nootropics in your blood right now... Huh?! Yes, you probably drank a cup of coffee or tea today. By far the most well-known natural nootropic is Caffeine. This is an alkaloid that is found in coffee and tea, among other things, with a stimulating effect on the nervous system. Caffeine keeps you sharp and alert and ensures that you can continue for hours, without feeling tired. And did you also happen to drink tea? In addition to caffeine, tea also contains another natural nootropic: L-theanine. A natural substance from tea leaves that is often used in combination with caffeine.

Synthetic Nootropics

Synthetic Nootropics are types of nootropics that have been created by scientists in the lab. The development of this type often starts with natural nootropics: Which substances are responsible for which effect? And how can we enhance that effect? Some well-known synthetic variants are: Noopept, Phenylpiracetam, modafinil and armodafinil. These synthetic nootropics may only be used under medical supervision and are illegal. Therefore, be careful with people who offer these products. Relatively little research has been done into these types of nootropics in the long term.

How did Nootropics come about?

The word "nootropic" was coined in the 20th century. The Romanian chemist Cornelie Giurgea was the first to use this name for substances that have a stimulating effect on cognitive brain functions. When you roughly translate the word "Nootropic" it means "The turn of the intellect". This type of supplements has become increasingly popular and eventually it has become a whole hype.

The biggest cause of this hype is Silicon Valley. You may have heard of that place. It is a region in California where the largest technology companies and the scientists that go with them are located. The smartest and most creative people in the world work there and you can imagine that they too would like a "mind boost".

Over the years, these types of nutritional supplements have become really popular because everyone wants to upgrade their mind. And that's not so strange, is it? Being able to concentrate well, using the optimal capacity of the brain and being able to learn well, everyone wants that, right?

How Do Nootropics Work?

There are several ways in which nootropics work in the brain. To keep it clear and organized, we will list these three ways for you, including explanations.

Neurotransmitters influence - Some substances influence the release or reuptake of neurotransmitters in the brain. Neurotransmitters should be seen as substances that transmit signals between nerve cells. Well-known neurotransmitters are serotonin, dopamine and adrenaline.
Promote blood flow - There are also certain substances that promote blood flow in the brain. This provides the brain with more blood... And more blood means: more nutrients and therefore more fuel. These substances that promote blood flow can also be combined with substances that influence neurotransmitters. This creates a synergistic (reinforcing each other) effect!
Cell-protective effect - Finally, there are also substances that protect the brain cells against harmful substances, which means that the brain cells remain healthy for longer. And if the brain cells remain healthy for longer, you can think "clearly" for longer and your brain will therefore last a lot longer. Nootropics are therefore not only used for a short and powerful effect, but certainly also for the longer term.

Are Nootropics safe to use?

The natural variants are completely safe to use, provided you use the approved ones, in the correct dosage. We only use natural nootropics in our products that have been approved and declared safe by the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority. We also have instructions for use on each product with tips for using the product and the maximum daily dosage.

Synthetic variants are often not suitable for consumer use and are often seen as medicines. Also, many synthetic variants have only been researched to a very limited extent and the long-term effects are not yet known. Therefore, be careful with synthetic variants!
