As there is no known pill for unlimited performance, there is no so-called "magic pill," too, for burning fat. Therefore, health experts recommend that one has to develop a weight loss program that, other than nootropics, would include proper diet, intermittent fasting or IF, adequate exercise, and "occasional detox, as well."
To get the maximum benefit of nootropics, some experts suggest that one combines "different single nootropics in a stack."
For those relatively new to this variety of medicines, it is ideal first to try some premade high-quality nootropics. Furthermore, studies suggest that one should consider it a must to keep a healthy lifestyle.
Not all experts, though, agree to the benefits nootropics can give. According to the University of Maryland's Center for Integrative Medicine director of research and education, Chris D'Adamo, PhD, he does not think this supplement will give one phenomenal ability.
However, he said, he believes nootropics "have the potential to offer some individuals an edge." D'Adamo also said the supplement seems to improve caffeine's mental effect and neutralizes "caffeine-induced jitteriness."
Lastly, studies also showed that taking a combination of caffeine and L-theanine may help one multitask more efficiently.
The safest way to get this combination is by consuming a cup of pure green tea as it has both caffeine and L-theanine content.
For those who are not much of tea drinkers, combining coffee with an L-theanine supplement has the same benefit, too.
