4 Legal Smart Drugs To Boost Mental Performance

Workers and Students have never been under so much pressure to deliver, which means they have to be able to perform at their optimum more of the time. Now, there are of course plenty of non-chemical ways to boost your mental performance and this includes things like, exercising in the morning which has been shown to boost productivity and mental performance, or working in 90 minute high intensity blocks, or practicing good sleep hygiene, listening to specific types of music for specific types of task etc… All these techniques have been proven to increase productivity.

Still, these are not the only ways to increase productivity and to enhance mental performance; there is a branch of legal drugs, termed nootropics which have been colloquially termed, ‘smart drugs’, that can also enhance mental performance. These cognitive enhancing drugs, known as Nootropics, may seem like the trendy, new kid on the block, but they have been around since the 70s.

But, do they work? According to Barbara Sahakian professor of Clinical Neuropsychology at Cambridge University, studies have shown that cognitive enhancers like modafinil can improve your ability to do problem solving and complex planning tasks, which generally relate to the execute functions at the front of the brain.

Considering these seeming brain boosting effects of cognitive enhancing drugs it’s not surprising that a study by Nature of 1,400 adults showed that one in five of them had taken Ritalin, Provigil, (modafinil) or beta blockers to stimulate focus, concentration or memory.

Of course, using smart drugs is not without its controversy, as it’s a new and not heavily regulated area and if you plan to use any legal smart drugs, (I am not condoning the use of anything illegal), you should check with your doctor first. And if you are looking to use smart drugs,  I have outlined 6 of the most commonly available, legal smart drugs that may take your fancy.
