The basics
What are nootropics?
Nootropics are substances that support how your brain works: attention, memory, mood and how you handle pressure. Coffee is the one most people already know.
Natural nootropics come from plants, mushrooms and nutrients, such as ashwagandha, lion’s mane and magnesium. They build gently over weeks, so they suit a daily routine rather than a quick hit.
Before you buy
How to choose a brain supplement

-
Focus on what you want
Pick for the feeling you’re after, whether that’s calmer under pressure, sharper when learning or steadier energy.
-
Make sure the dose is right
The pack should show how much of each ingredient is in a daily serving, so you know exactly what you’re taking.
-
Give it a few weeks
Natural nootropics build gently, so take them every day for a month, backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

Questions about nootropics
What are nootropics?
Nootropics are substances that support mental functions such as attention, memory, motivation and mood. The term was coined in 1972 by the chemist Corneliu Giurgea, from the Greek for “mind” and “turning”. They range from everyday caffeine to plant extracts and prescription drugs, but most sold in the UK are natural food supplements.
What are natural nootropics?
Natural nootropics are plants, mushrooms, amino acids and nutrients that support brain functions like focus, memory and mood. Common examples are ashwagandha, bacopa, rhodiola and ginkgo, the mushroom lion’s mane, L-theanine from tea, and magnesium. Unlike synthetic smart drugs, they are sold as food supplements and work gently over weeks.
Do nootropics work?
Some do, for some things. Caffeine reliably improves alertness, L-theanine taken with caffeine has trials showing better attention, bacopa has the most consistent evidence for memory, and ashwagandha has several trials on stress and sleep. Others have little human research, so judge each ingredient and its dose rather than the label.
Are nootropics legal in the UK?
Natural nootropics sold as food supplements, such as ashwagandha, lion’s mane, bacopa and L-theanine, are legal to buy in the UK. Prescription drugs like modafinil can only be supplied on prescription, and some synthetic “smart drugs” fall under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016, which makes selling them illegal.
Where can I buy nootropics in the UK?
Natural nootropics are sold by health food shops, pharmacies and online supplement brands. Choose products made to GMP standards that list the amount of each ingredient per daily serving, and avoid anything sold as a research chemical or a smart drug.
What is the best nootropic for focus?
Caffeine is the best known, and pairing it with L-theanine tends to give smoother focus with fewer jitters. If stress is what breaks your concentration, ashwagandha is one of the best studied adaptogens. Citicoline and rhodiola are other common choices for mental energy.
What is the best nootropic for memory?
Bacopa monnieri has the strongest evidence, with several trials showing better recall after 8 to 12 weeks. Citicoline has been studied for memory in healthy older adults, and early human trials on lion’s mane are promising.
What is a nootropic stack?
A nootropic stack is two or more nootropics taken together so their effects complement each other, such as caffeine with L-theanine, or an adaptogen like ashwagandha with lion’s mane. A few ingredients at proper doses beat many at token amounts. Our guide to nootropic stacks covers which pairings work well.
How long do nootropics take to work?
Caffeine and L-theanine work within an hour. Plant and mushroom extracts such as ashwagandha, bacopa and lion’s mane build up over time, and most trials last 8 to 12 weeks, so take them daily for at least a month before you judge.
Are nootropics safe?
Well-studied natural nootropics such as ashwagandha, L-theanine, bacopa and magnesium are generally well tolerated at standard doses, and the most common side effect is a mild upset stomach. Some can interact with medicines, such as ginkgo with blood thinners, so check with your GP or pharmacist if you take medication or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Not sure where to start?
Most people begin with Ashwagandha & Lion’s Mane: calm focus, two capsules a day, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
