INSIGHT

Nootropics Cause Dependence Over Time

  • Nootropics stimulate your central nervous system and make you feel awake temporarily.
  • Over time, dependence grows and their effectiveness diminishes without addressing the root cause.
ADVICE

Choose Natural Nutrients for Brain Health

  • Use vitamins B1, B6, B12, nutritional yeast, and DHA from wild-caught fish oil for cognitive support.
  • These natural nutrients support memory and brain health more safely than chemical nootropics.
ADVICE

Improve Brain Function with Sleep & Fasting

  • Get more sleep to improve energy and cognitive function.
  • Practice intermittent fasting to trigger brain-cell growth and increase memory.
