For those who aren’t yet familiar with nootropics, they are supplements that are also known as cognitive enhancers. They boost brain performance and thus improve ability to concentrate, remember, create clear and accurate memories and increase mental alertness therefore helping with energy levels.
Maybe you’ve been consuming nootropics all this time without even realising it. To give you a well-known example, caffeine and L-Theanine are two of the most consumed nootropics in the world and they can be found right there in your daily cup of tea or coffee.
Caffeine works by stimulating the nervous system and other parts of the body such as the heart, muscles and even the centres that control our blood pressure. L-theanine is an amino acid that helps promote relaxation and calms the mind by interacting with a number of chemicals in your brain such as serotonin and dopamine. These are also known as neurotransmitters playing a major role in a few different parts of the brain including emotions, mood, concentration, alertness, sleep, appetite, energy and other cognitive skills. Combined with Caffeine, the properties of L-theanine are enhanced.
The counteractive properties of both combined offer the benefits of alertness and heightened concentration without the crash after a cup of coffee but with more of a slow and plateaued response essentially offering longer lasting effects. When we drink a cup of coffee we tend to need to grab the next cup to chase the feeling but yet again are met with a burnout. Think fatigue, irritability, even feelings of nausea and headaches and it’s simply not sustainable. That feeling is not what you’re after especially if you’re drinking coffee as you’re tired in the first place!
So by hacking into the body’s codework, brands such as our recent addition to the Kijani website, Mindscopic, have created a way for us to combat the root of the problem.
So what are the reasons we are not living at our optimum? With long work hours, lengthy commutes, fast paced city life and everyday stressors, 21st century life and simply trying to fit a day’s work into, well, a day can sometimes feel daunting and quite frankly unachievable. But by taking a step back and assessing the root of the problem, which is burnout, lack of sleep, poor nutrition and lack of exercise, Mindscopic are treating the problem at the cause.
Rather than finding ways to mask these issues Mindscopic supplements will ensure you have the tools to overcome them. If we are giving our brain the cognitive help that it needs we can actively get on top of daily struggles such as lack of concentration, fatigue or bad memory, by fuelling our mind with what it needs. Things such as energy, creativity, full sleep cycle recovery are all crucial to reaching our peak and getting the most out of life, not to mention enjoyable pursuits, so why not find out how to hack them and start working smarter not harder.
