Nootropics are substances that enhance learning and memory, while being extremely safe and protective of the brain. The nootropic concept was coined by Corneliu Giurgea in 1972 to describe an entirely new type of substance that did not fit into any existing classification and acted specifically on higher-level functions of the brain.

Nootropic substances work in a number of different ways to enhance the brain’s abilities, such as increasing the supply of the precursors required by neurotransmitters in order to form memories (acetylcholine) or by then increasing that neurotransmitter’s usage in the brain where memories are formed (hippocampus).1)Profound Effects of Combining Choline and Piracetam on Memory Enhancement and Cholinergic Function in Aged Rats

Nootropics directly translated as “towards the mind”  is derived from the greek words “tropein” and “noos.”

To be considered a nootropic, a substance must meet ALL of the following characteristics:

  1. Enhance learning and memory
  2. Have few side effects and extremely low toxicity
  3. Protect the brain from physical or chemical injury
  4. Enhance the firing mechanisms of neurons
  5. Prevent the disruption of learned behaviors and memory formation from conditions which tend to disrupt them, such as electroconvulsive shock or hypoxia.

*Amphetamines like Adderall and wakefulness-agents like Modafinil are NOT considered nootropics.

Nootroo is a once-daily capsule containing a blend of synergistic nootropics that enhances energy and focus for 6-8 hours and beyond. Nootroo was designed from the ground up to bring the purest, most powerful, and safest ingredients available, into a single capsule. With Nootroo’s commitment to being the Gold Standard in nootropics, you know you have the best.

Ingredients and Instructions

Nootroo comes in two different formulas, a Gold formula and a Silver formula. The two formulas differ in the main ingredient. In the Gold is Noopept and in the Silver is Phenylpiracetam. Both then contain citicoline (Cognizin brand), L-theanine (Suntheanine brand), and a caffeine pterostilbene cocrystal (PURENERGY). The pills are alternated between, one day Gold, and the next day Silver. The Gold formula uses the naturally occurring flavonol, quercetin, to color the capsule yellow.

Noopept

Noopept has been shown in animal studies to be neuroprotective and to help to enhance and restore memory7)Ostrovskaya RU, Romanova GA, Barskov IV, Shanina EV, Gudasheva TA, Victorov IV, Voronina TA, Seredenin SB (1999). “Memory restoring and neuroprotective effects of the proline-containing dipeptide, GVS-111, in a photochemical stroke model”. Behavioural Pharmacology 10 (5): 549–553.doi:10.1097/00008877-199909000-00013.PMID 10780261. In studies with the Alzheimer’s disease model, Noopept has restored spatial memory and increased immunoreactivity to amyloid buildup. 8)Ostrovskaya RU, Gruden MA, Bobkova NA, Sewell RD, Gudasheva TA, Samokhin AN, Seredinin SB, Noppe W, Sherstnev VV, Morozova-Roche LA (2007). “The nootropic and neuroprotective proline-containing dipeptide noopept restores spatial memory and increases immunoreactivity to amyloid in an Alzheimer’s disease model”. Journal of Psychopharmacology 21 (6): 611–619.doi:10.1177/0269881106071335.  17092975.

Studies also show Noopept to stimulate the expression of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and Brain-Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. The hippocampus is the region of the brain responsible for the formation of memories and consolidation of short-term memory to long-term memory. BDNF is a protein that is crucial in determining the quantity of new neurons the brain can create, as well as regulating growth, survival and, differentiation of existing neurons.9)” We showed that the nootropic drug increases expression of neurotrophic factors in the hippocampus. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that neurotrophin synthesis in the hippocampus determines cognitive function, particularly in consolidation and delayed memory retrieval. Published data show that neurotrophic factor deficiency in the hippocampus is observed not only in advanced Alzheimer’s disease, but also at the stage of mild cognitive impairment (predisease state). In light of this our findings suggest that Noopept holds much promise to prevent the development of Alzheimer’s disease in patients with mild cognitive impairment. Moreover, therapeutic effectiveness of Noopept should be evaluated at the initial stage of Alzheimer’s disease.” http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10517-008-0297-x

Phenylpiracetam

Phenylpiracetam is a nootropic substance that has been shown to improve cognition in persons with cognitive decline from organic causes.10)Lybzikova GN, Iaglova ZhS, Kharlamova IuS. The efficacy of phenotropil in the complex treatment of epilepsy. Zh Nevrol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova. (2008) It has also been shown to improve cognition in youth with epilepsy. In rodent trials Phenylpiracetam has been shown to improve retention latency by over 185%. 11)Zvejniece L, et al. Investigation into stereoselective pharmacological activity of phenotropil. Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol.

A single dose of phenylpiracetam has been shown to cause a “significant increase in locomotor activity” and a ‘significantly enhanced memory function in a passive avoidance response test” in rodents. 12)Zvejniece L, et al. Investigation into stereoselective pharmacological activity of phenotropil. Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol. (2011)

Phenylpiracetam has also been shown to be effective in increasing physical endurance, adaptation and resistance to cold. 13) “Carphedon is a phenyl derivative of nootropil and is effective in increasing physical endurance and cold resistance, and is used for amnesia treatment.” Analyst. 1999 Nov;124(11):1559-62. PMID: 10746314.

Citicoline

Citicoline is a precursor for the memory neurotransmitter and supplementation has been shown to increase acetylcholine production in the brain. Studies in healthy women show that taking Cognizin citicoline their verbal memory after just 28 days.

L-Theanine

L-theanine is an amino acid found in green teas and is well known for its ability to calm a person down without making them tired. 17)Kimura, Kenta; Ozeki, Makoto; Juneja, Lekh Raj; Ohira, Hideki (2007). “L-Theanine reduces psychological and physiological stress responses”. Biological Psychology 74 (1): 39–45.doi:10.1016/j.biopsycho.2006.06.006.PMID 16930802.. L-theanine has also been shown to improve cognition 18)Park, Sang-Ki; Jung, In-Chul; Lee, Won Kyung; Lee, Young Sun; Park, Hyoung Kook; Go, Hyo Jin; Kim, Kiseong; Lim, Nam Kyoo et al.

Theanine has also been shown to induce alpha waves in the prefrontal cortex, in a way that is similar to the waveform that appears during meditation.  While L-theanine works great on its own, when combined with caffeine, their synergistic relationship has been shown to boost mood and cognitive performance. 19)Park, Sang-Ki; Jung, In-Chul; Lee, Won Kyung; Lee, Young Sun; Park, Hyoung Kook; Go, Hyo Jin; Kim, Kiseong; Lim, Nam Kyoo et al.

Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research in Orangeburg, N.Y., and his colleagues recruited 16 people for tests of attentiveness on four days. Before testing, each individual drank a glass of water. On 3 days, the drink was spiked with 100 milligrams of theanine, 60 mg of caffeine, or both. The theanine dose was equivalent to that in 4 to 5 cups of tea, and the caffeine translated to about 2.5 cups of tea. In the difficult tests, participants watched a computer screen and pressed a button when a designated shape appeared on the side of a busy visual field to which an arrow had previously pointed. Participants’ accuracy differed little between days when they got water alone or with only one additive. Accuracy improved dramatically, however, on the day that they got the theanine-caffeine combination. The attention benefit lasted throughout the 3 hours of testing.” 22)Owen, Gail N.; Parnell, Holly; De Bruin, Eveline A.; Rycroft, Jane A.

Caffeine Pterostilbene Co-Crystal

PURENERGY is a next generation form of caffeine that provides a sustained energy boost over a significantly extended period of time while using less caffeine than a standard cup of coffee. This co-crystal form of caffeine has been shown to have statistical significance for fatigue and concentration after 6 hours, whereas normal caffeine lasts about 3 hours.
