The Rise of Cognitive Enhancers
The podcast discusses the rise of cognitive enhancers in response to pandemic fatigue and exhaustion. Brain supplements or nootropics have entered the market, promising to increase cognitive abilities, improve focus, and reduce anxiety. Despite the multibillion-dollar market for these products, there is limited evidence to support their claims, with much of the marketing relying on vague language and minimal clinical trials.
