Centrophenoxine, also known as meclofenoxate, is a synthetic compound with properties believed to support cognitive functions. It’s often viewed as a more potent alternative to DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol), a compound it closely resembles. Studies have explored its potential to combat cognitive decline and improve memory. While some research suggests beneficial effects on brain health and age-related cognitive impairments, comprehensive studies to conclusively establish its full range of effects are limited.
Choline Bitartrate
Types:
Cholinergic, Synthetic Compound
Description:
Choline is combined with tartaric acid to form Choline Bitartrate. It is one of the most common and economical forms of choline, essential for brain health and function. While not as potent as some ot…
Choline is combined with tartaric acid to form Choline Bitartrate. It is one of the most common and economical forms of choline, essential for brain health and function. While not as potent as some other choline sources, such as CDP Choline or Alpha-GPC, it still provides an effective boost to choline levels in the body. Choline is vital for the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory, cognition, and muscle coordination.
Coluracetam
Types:
Racetam, Synthetic Compound
Description:
Coluracetam is a derivative of the racetam family, known for its potential nootropic effects. Originally developed and tested for Alzheimer’s disease, it has since gained attention in the nootropic co…
Coluracetam is a derivative of the racetam family, known for its potential nootropic effects. Originally developed and tested for Alzheimer’s disease, it has since gained attention in the nootropic community for its reported cognitive-enhancing effects and unique potential benefits for vision and mood.

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound synthesized in the human body from amino acids. It’s also found in various foods, particularly in meat and fish. Widely recognized for its role in enhancing athletic performance and muscle growth, creatine has also garnered attention for its potential cognitive benefits. It’s believed to play a role in maintaining energy metabolism in the brain. Some studies suggest that creatine supplementation might improve tasks requiring short-term memory and quick thinking, especially under sleep-deprived conditions or other forms of cognitive stress.
Curcumin
Types:

Curcumin is the primary bioactive compound found in turmeric, a spice celebrated in both culinary and traditional medicine realms. Famed for its robust anti-inflammatory and antioxidant attributes, curcumin has drawn extensive scientific attention for its potential to augment cognitive function and mood. Research suggests that curcumin can fortify brain health by neutralizing oxidative stress, tempering inflammation, and possibly fostering the growth of new neurons. It’s pivotal to acknowledge that while curcumin presents promising nootropic properties, its natural bioavailability is constrained. As a remedy, many curcumin supplements integrate black pepper extract (piperine), which synergistically enhances curcumin’s absorption in the body.
