Title: Nootropics - Good or Bad?
Post by: Libertas on September 02, 2018, 01:03:22 PM

Friend or foe?

No long-term adverse effects noted, yet, some speculate without existing impairment there may not be benefits gained.  L-carnatine has been around a while, common ingredient in RockStar and other energy drinks...not interested in cognitive function so much as energy...heck nicotine has claims to attention, memory and motor skills...stuff like L-theanine acts much like L-carnatine.

Thoughts?

I'm going out on a limb and say snakeoil.

Depends on what is in them and even then who knows. Maybe there are studies for the various ingredients.

Wow!  that's quite a list of performance enhancements....last time I saw a product
with that much beneficial actions was an advertizement for "dietary dirt".
