Conclusions

As of todayhellipthe evidence suggests that ldquoNootropicsrdquo increase attention and focus but there is insufficient amp compelling data to make claims of enhanced cognition more long term studies of safety and efficacy required

However there is growing evidence demonstrating risk reduction amp prevention from cognitive decline and degenerative pathologies Research continues to emerge with irrefutable data demonstrating benefits
