What are Nootropics?

Nootropics or cognition enhancers are a class of substances that can boost your brain performance. Prescription nootropics are medications that have stimulant effects and can counteract the symptoms of medical conditions such as ADHD or Alzheimer’s disease. Nonprescription substances can enhance brain performance and focus. At VitaLab, we offer nootropics in supplement and IV forms.
