Notes

For nearly all of human history the brain has been an enigma. Aristotle theorized the brain served as a cooling agent for the heart and a place where the ‘spirit' circulated freely'. Aristotles theory went unchallenged for over 450 years until Roman physicist Galen, to hefty criticism and debate, suggested mental processes occur not in the heart, but in the brain, and added "The brain was a cold, moist organ formed of sperm". .Unscientific theories made around individual observation & belief remained the backbone of brain understanding up until very recently in human history, in-fact nearly everything we know about the brains functioning has been made within the past 30 years alone.

The 21st century has seen great advancements in neuroscience, especially in regards to understanding brain functioning .Supplements long touted for their neuro-boosting effects now have science’s backing, giving emergence to the budding industry of Nootropics.

You may be wondering what Nootropics are, Nootropics are substances that are consumed specifically to enhance various aspects of brain function, such as attention, focus, memory and cognitive processing. Nootropics come in various forms such as foods, beverages, pills, and capsules.
