Kungenzeka ukuthi uzwile igama elithi "nootropics" futhi wacabanga ukuthi bekungenye imfashini yezempilo yangaphandle. Kepha cabanga ngalokhu: Uma ufunda lokhu ngenkathi uphuza inkomishi yekhofi, kungenzeka ukuthi unama-nootropics ohlelo lwakho njengamanje.

Yini ama-nootropics?

Ezingeni eliyisisekelo kakhulu, ama-nootropics (abiziweokusha-trope-iks) "yinoma yini ethuthukisa ukusebenza kwengqondo noma ukusebenza kobuchopho," kusho u-Anthony Gustin, udokotela osebenzayo kanye no-CEO we-Perfect Keto ozinze e-Austin, eTexas. Kunezinhlobo eziningi ezahlukene ze-nootropics laphaya, kodwa phakathi kwezinto ezivame kakhulu i-caffeine.

Manje yini ama-nootropics, empeleni? "Bayiqembu lezithako ezithengwayo nezidakamizwa ezithi zisebenza njengezithuthukisi zengqondo, okuhloswe ngazo ukuthuthukisa inkumbulo, ukugxila, nokugxila," kuchaza u-Arielle Levitan, MD, i-internist kanye nomsunguli we-Vous Vitamin. ezinze ngaphandle kweChicago.

Ziza ngezindlela eziningi, kufaka phakathi amaphilisi, izimpushana, kanye noketshezi, futhi kunezinhlobo ezimbalwa ezahlukahlukene: amakhambi, okwenziwa noma lokho uGustin akubiza ngokuthi "phakathi-phakathi" kwama-nootropics, okuyilapho i-caffeine iwela khona.

Ngakho kungani ama-nootropics ezulazula ngokuzumayo? Cabanga ngabo njengengxenye yakamuva yomkhuba we-biohacking-aka, usebenzisa isayensi, i-biology, kanye nokuzilinga ngokwakho ukulawula umzimba wakho kanye ne-DIY impilo yakho yobuchopho. Kunengqondo kakhulu uma ucabanga ngakho; emva kwakho konke, ngubani ongeke afune ukuthuthukisa umsebenzi wabo wokuqonda jikelele?

“Kulindeleke ukuthi abantu bacule kakhulu manje,” kusho uGustin. "Sikwimo yokulungisa izinto, sifuna ukwenza ngcono izimpilo zethu."

Futhi usekuthini: Imakethe ye-nootropics yomhlaba kulindeleke ukuthi ifinyelele ngaphezu kwama- $ 6 billion ngo-2024, isuka ku- $ 1.3 billion ngonyaka ka-2015, ngokusho kombiko weCredence Research.

Enzani ama-nootropics?

"Kunezindlela eziningi lapho ama-nootropics angathuthukisa futhi aguqule imizwa, akhulise ukugxila, akhuphule amandla ememori, asize ngemvamisa yokukhumbula ngayo izinto, usebenzise izinkumbulo ezigciniwe, futhi wandise ukugqugquzela nokushayela," kusho uGustin.

Ngenkathi ama-nootropics amaningi eyizinto ezinenzuzo efakazelwe ekusebenzeni kwengqondo, ezinye ziqagela kakhulu futhi zinocwaningo oluncane olusekela izinzuzo noma izingozi zazo, kusho uDkt Levitan. Isibonelo, i-nootropics evuselelayo kadokotela, njenge-Adderall ne-Ritalin, ixhunywe ekunakekelweni okungcono kanye nenkumbulo ethuthukisiwe, uyaphawula; futhi izinto ezifana ne-caffeine ne-nicotine ziye zaboniswa ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwengqondo. Kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi abezi nemiphumela emibi kakhulu kanye nemiphumela engemihle engaba khona.

Kodwa-ke, izinzuzo eziningi ze-nootropics ezengeziwe ezikhona-njengalezo ongazithola ku-Whole Foods, isibonelo-azisekelwa isayensi, kusho uDkt Levitan. Kunezifundo ezimbalwa ezincane, njengalezo ezibonisa izinzuzo zememori zokukhishwa kwe-ginkgo biloba, kanye nocwaningo lwesilwane olukhombisa inhlanganisela yokukhishwa kwetiye eluhlaza kanye ne-l-theanine ethuthukisa inkumbulo nokunaka-kepha kudingeka olunye ucwaningo, usho kanjalo.

Yiziphi ezinye izinhlobo ezijwayelekile zama-nootropics?

U-Gustin utusa ama-herbal nootropics, njengekhowe le-lion's mane, i-ashwagandha, i-ginseng, i-gingko biloba, ne-cordyceps. Uma ucabanga ukuthi le misindo uyijwayele (yithi, ngemuva kokufunda "Yini ama-Adaptogens futhi angakusiza yini ukukhulisa ukusebenza kwakho?"), Uqinisile. "Amanye ama-nootropics ama-adaptogens futhi okuphambene nalokho, kepha elinye aligcini ngokuhlukile," kusho uGustin.

Lezi zithako zemithi zisebenza ngokuvimbela izindlela ezithile ebuchosheni. Isibonelo, yingakho i-caffeine ikwenza uzizwe sengathi unamandla-ivimbela okwesikhashana ama-neurotransmitters ebuchosheni bakho abizwa ngokuthi ama-adenosine receptors abonisa imizwa yokukhathala.

Amanye ama-nootropics we-herbal awagcini nje ukunikeza amandla ebuchosheni bakho kodwa nemisipha yakho nezicubu, futhi. Isibonelo, i-beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), ukushintshashintsha kokungezelelwe kwamaketoni amathathu ayisisekelo aqukethe amandla ngokwemvelo akhiqizwa ngumzimba wakho lapho ulandela ukudla okune-ketogenic, kungaholela ekwandeni kwesikhashana kwama-ketone egazi, kusho uGustin -Okungathuthukisa ukusebenza kokuqonda nokwenyama. (UGustin uthi yingakho amanye amakhasimende akhe ethatha ama-nootropics ngaphambi kokujima.)

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-synthetic, i-nootropics esekelwe kumakhemikhali-njenge-Adderall ne-Ritalin-empeleni ishintsha indlela ama-receptors ebuchosheni bakho asebenza ngayo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. "Ushintsha ngokoqobo i-chemistry yobuchopho ngekhemikhali langaphandle," kusho uGustin. "Zinendawo yazo, kodwa ukuzisebenzisa njengendawo eyodwa yokuthuthukisa amandla akho engqondo kuwumbono omubi."

Qaphela: Ngenkathi abanye ochwepheshe bekholelwa ukuthi ama-nootropics ayasebenza kakhulu uma ethathwa ngokwengeziwe, abukho ubufakazi obuningi bokukusekela lokho. Eqinisweni, ukusebenza kahle kwama-nootropics kuyinto yesilingo nephutha kuwo wonke umuntu futhi kuzoncika kumakhemikhali obuchopho bakho, kusho uGustin.

Ingabe zikhona izingozi ezingase zibe khona ze-nootropics?

Ingozi engaba khona yokuthatha i-nootropics yokwenziwa inkulu kakhulu, kusho uDkt Levitan. "Eziningi zalezi zithasiselo zinezinto ezifana ne-caffeine ngamanani aphezulu kakhulu, okungaba yingozi impela, ikakhulukazi uma uzihlanganisa notshwala noma eminye imithi," esho. Isibonelo, bangakhuphula umfutho wegazi nokushaya kwenhliziyo yakho, bangaba umlutha futhi bangadala imiphumela ebuyayo (njengokukhathala nokudangala) lapho uyeka ukuzithatha, uyanezela.

I-Herbal nootropics, nakuba incane kakhulu, iza nezingozi ezifanayo njenganoma yisiphi isengezo ngoba azilawulwa yi-FDA, ngakho awukwazi ukuqiniseka ngokuphelele ukuthi yini engaphakathi. Abaningi bazoba nesimo se-GRAS, okusho ukuthi "babhekwa njengokuvikelekile", kepha abanye abanaso, kusho uGustin. “Kufanele uqikelele, ngoba abanye bangase bangabi nazo izithako zangempela abathi banazo emkhiqizweni,” usho kanje. Uncoma ukucela inkampani ukuthi inikeze isitifiketi sokuhlaziya, esiqinisekisa ukuthi izithako ezikulebula zisemkhiqizo. "Kuyifulegi elikhulu elibomvu" uma bengeke banikeze lokhu, uyanezela.

Nakuba uDkt Levitan evuma ukuthi abanye abantukungenzeka uzuze kwizengezo zamakhambi ze-nootropic, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uthola amavithamini afanele — njengamavithamini D no-B, i-magnesium, ne-iron — kungaba enye indlela yokwandisa amandla akho nokugxila noma ukuthuthukisa imizwa nenkumbulo yakho. "Lokhu kuyindlela ezwakala kakhulu kunokungenisa imikhiqizo engaziwa enemininingwane yokuphepha elinganiselwe," uyaphawula. (Okuhlobene: Kungani Amavithamini B Ayimfihlo Yemandla Amakhulu)

Ngaphambi kokungeza noma ukushintsha isengezo esimisweni sakho samavithamini, khuluma nodokotela wakho. Uma unquma ukuthi ufuna ukuhlola i-herbal nootropics, yenza ucwaningo lwakho, futhi ulungele umuzwa ongase ube ongavamile lapho uwathatha okokuqala, kusho uGustin.

"Cabanga nje uma ushayela imoto futhi unezimbungulu eziningi efasiteleni lakho langaphambili lomoya," kusho uGustin, ehlobanisa ukufana nomqondo wenkungu yobuchopho. "Uma usula i-windshield okokuqala ngqa, uzobona umphumela ozoshintsha impilo."
