The idea that we can enhance our brain's capabilities with a simple dietary supplement may sound like science fiction. But that’s exactly what nootropics are making a reality. Nootropics are inspiring a new realm of possibilities in the cognitive enhancement space and wider brain health category – and consumers are waking up to the unique benefits these supplements can deliver.

More than quick-fix ‘energy boosts’

One theme the Nootropics Report explores is why it’s time to take a new approach to innovation in the nootropic market to attract today’s modern consumer. More and more individuals agree that emotional wellness holds just as much importance as physical health for their overall wellbeing. However, feelings of stress and anxiety have become prevalent, along with poor sleep hygiene and an inability to relax.

Consequently, more consumers are actively seeking ways to address these aspects of their health to support holistic wellbeing. They want more from their brain health solutions – preferring products that ‘switch on’ cognitive function to give them the mental edge they need, while promoting feelings of calm and control. To cater to the rising demand for products that will help consumers thrive, brands must reimagine innovation in this domain.

Introducing the concept of nootropics+. These advanced nootropics-based formulas go beyond cognitive enhancement and performance alone to support other aspects of health – creating an all-round brain powering (and calming) experience.
