What are Nootropics?

Nootropics are drugs or supplements that are consumed by sportsmen and adults to enhance memory and other cognitive abilities. These are available in both OTC form and prescription drug type, wherein prescription nootropics are drugs that are used to treat diseases such as ‘attention deficit hyperactivity disorder’ (ADHD), Alzheimer’s disease, and narcolepsy. Whereas non-prescription drugs or OTC do not treat diseases but are consumed for improving brain performance and concentration capabilities.
