The brain is crucial to everything we do and brain function is a common concern, whether it is loss of function, development, or optimisation. However, with people looking to manage increasingly busy lives, there’s been a renewed shift towards improving mental performance.
Nootropics can claim to improve cognitive functions such as short and long-term memory and processing and concentration. With the complex nature of the brain, the need for a constant supply of energy and nutrients to support key functions, such as neuronal plasticity and the clearance of metabolic waste are vital. In this talk Phil discusses the impact of nootropics and ingredients that can support enhanced concentration, attention and memory.
Synthetic nootropics are commonly available, and the expectation might be that all nootropics contain artificially created chemicals. However, there are some effective natural ingredients with excellent supporting clinical evidence. Phil shares the research behind these and discusses the formulation of Viridian’s new Natural ‘Nootropic’, Peak Focus that has been developed to aid enhanced concentration.
