4 Advantages of Nootropics

4 Advantages of Nootropics

Nootropics are smart drugs that help improve different functions of the brain and its performance. Unlike generic drugs that can be addictive, nootropics are used as supplements that only work by boosting the brains capacity. For this reason, nootropics will only improve your brain performance hence good for your health. Nootropics have been on the market for quite some time. Piracetam, for example, has been around for more than 40 years. The supplement has a solid history and effectiveness, one of the reasons it has been on the market for such a long time. There are however newer nootropics on the market as well. Some of these haven’t been thoroughly studied or tested to determine their effectiveness. Many of the nootropics surfaced as medication for various illnesses, only to be discovered to have a positive impact on the brain’s performance. Piracetam, for example, was a pharmaceutical drug used to treat migraines and severe headaches. Unlike a few decades ago, nootropics today are perfectly safe to use for the short term. They also pack numerous benefits for both the brain and neural functions. Here are some of the benefits. Increased Neuroplasticity Although an umbrella term, neuroplasticity generally means that the brain can take on many changes through the life of an individual. The ability to change/evolve is particularly beneficial as one will be able to learn new things comfortably. Various nootropics, Piracetam, Aniracetam, Pramiracetam, and Noopept, are known to promote neuroplasticity. Nootropics work by improving the synapse between neurons. These are the milliards of cells that make up the brain. Neurons are interconnected through neurites. These smart drugs act on these neurites to help amplify the brain’s capacity and efficiency. This translates to better memory, improved synapses and cognitive functions among other factors. Nootropics Prevent Brain Aging A young person’s […]

Study: Rebalancing the gut improves symptoms of autism

Study: Rebalancing the gut improves symptoms of autism

( Natural News ) The evidence is growing that gut bacteria is connected to the brain, and a new study shows how this link can be used to help people with autism . Human gut bacteria needs to maintain the right balance for optimal health and immunity. The ideal ratio is believed to be somewhere around 85 percent “good” bacteria to 15 percent “bad” bacteria. The right ratio allows your immune system to recognize any foreign bacteria or pathogens, and when it’s thrown off balance, it can have serious repercussions for your physical and mental health. In addition to autism, poor gut health has been linked to anxiety and depression . A study involving 18 children with autism between the ages of 7 and 16, found that rebalancing the gut led to an improvement in their symptoms. The children were given fecal transplants in order to introduce healthy microbes into their guts. Their doctors and parents reported positive changes in the children that lasted for at least eight weeks following the treatment. Improvements were noted in both their neurological and gastrointestinal symptoms. Standardized questionnaires were used to assess factors such as their hyperactivity, irritability, social skills and communication. Their average developmental age rose by 1.4 years following the treatment, while doctor-reported symptoms using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale dropped by 22 percent when the study ended. The children’s gastrointestinal symptoms dropped a remarkable 82 percent over the course of treatment, and the bacterial diversity in their guts was identical to that of their healthy peers in the end.

Is nutritional psychiatry the future of mental health treatments?

Is nutritional psychiatry the future of mental health treatments?

( Natural News ) Mental health problems are notoriously tricky to treat, with many sufferers reporting that they’ve gone through several different psychiatrists and medications before striking on something that manages their condition to at least some degree. However, it’s starting to look like seeing a conventional psychiatrist for mental health problems might be a bit like going to a cardiologist for a skin condition; an emerging specialty, nutritional psychiatry, holds a lot more promise when it comes to successfully conquering mental illness . That’s because scientists are increasingly finding that poor mental health is caused in many cases by a lack of essential nutrients. Some of the mental illnesses associated with improper nutrition include depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. As more information emerges pointing to this important connection, the field of nutritional psychiatry is really taking off. It focuses on using food and supplements to address mental health issues. For example, inflammation in the brain is the basis of many mental health problems. The inflammatory response behind it actually starts in the gut and has been linked to a lack of nutrients like vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and probiotics. Food supplements like vitamin D, B complex, omega-3, magnesium and zinc have all been shown to improve mood. Meanwhile, taking probiotics daily has been associated with a significant reduction in anxiety and depression. It makes sense that nutrition plays such an important role in your mental health. After all, your brain is always “on” and it needs fuel to do its work – and giving it premium fuel in the form of high-quality, nutritious foods is understandably ideal. In Harvard Health, Dr. Eva Selhub takes the analogy even further, pointing out that when you use low-quality fuel, like processed food, your brain’s performance suffers just as […]

3D printing is key for the successful colonization of Mars

3D printing is key for the successful colonization of Mars

( Natural News ) When humans finally take over Mars, it will be with the help of 3D printing technology. Additive manufacturing will provide invaluable services during the colonization of the Red Planet , including the all-important role of shielding colonists from deadly cosmic radiation. Traditional manufacturing lines are limited to building a single product. A 3D printer, on the other hand, can change the design it is producing at any time. Furthermore, a printer will be able to create very complicated shapes that cannot be produced by injection molding or computer-controlled cutting techniques. Boeing discovered that 3D printing could make honeycomb shapes that are stronger than conventional struts. These structures are also lighter and need less materials to make. Meanwhile, GE has tested printed parts in its new, high-performance jet engine . The engine company reported that the parts could withstand the rough conditions of the engine, which are comparable to the harsh environment of outer space and Mars. Additive printers have already been deployed aboard the International Space Station. There, they make special tools for the resident astronauts. NASA is also looking for habitat designs that can be printed on Mars with raw materials harvested from the spot. Taking only 3D printers aboard a spaceship made from light yet strong additive parts will save a lot of space and weight. (Related: Scientists create a “bionic mushroom” that produces electricity .) Experts believe we should turn over 3D printing design jobs to AI The process of 3D printing is a digital one. You select a digital file that contains the design you want the printer to make. You can also edit the file in order to modify certain parts of the product to suit the task at hand. Support our mission and protect your health: Organic Seeds of […]

This New Blend Of Nootropics is Clinically Proven to Enhance Brain Function

This New Blend Of Nootropics is Clinically Proven to Enhance Brain Function

Every day, millions of Americans start their day with a hit of caffeine. For most, the preferred method of delivery is coffee. Over 60 percent of the population drinks at least one cup of the bean juice per day. But obviously there are other ways to get your fix, whether it’s an elegant cup of tea, or an energy drink loaded with supplements. Of course, the reason for our caffeine intake is that we need to wake up and focus on the things we have to get done. Also, it doesn’t hurt that coffee and tea (sorry, not you, energy drinks) are delicious. But what if there was a better way to give your brain a boost? What if there was something that, in addition to making you feel awake, could actually increase your ability to focus, enhance verbal fluency, and improve mental output? Well, thanks to a couple of neuroscience PhDs from UCLA, there is. It’s called TruBrain . Unsplash Created by Dr. Andrew Hill and Dr. Aida Attar, in collaboration with former Unilever executive Chris Thompson, TruBrain is basically a nutrient-packed brain fuel that enhances brain function , helping you remember more and think with greater clarity. Right now TruBrain’s specially formulated blend of nootropics comes in either 1oz shots or 45g energy bars. But in both cases, the key ingredients are neurotransmitter-enhancing substances called nootropics. Now, we’ve talked about the benefits of nootropics in this space before . But for those who don’t know, nootropics are amino acids, nutrients, and minerals that the brain uses for fuel. They are found in a variety of whole foods such as spinach, artichokes, and kale, but in relatively small quantities that don’t significantly impact brain function. That’s where TruBrain comes in. Unlike some so-called “smart pill” products out there, […]

Study proves you can stop vital memory erosion through holistic “Loci memory training’

Study proves you can stop vital memory erosion through holistic “Loci memory training’

( Natural News ) We already know it is complex and highly capable, but many of the human brain’s mysteries remain untapped. Even the incredible technological advancements of the past few years have failed to shed light on all of the specifics of this intricate organ, and it remains a top subject of interest for researchers around the world, particularly in light of the rise in dementia. Recently, scientists in the Netherlands discovered that the ability to remember unwieldy lists of dozens of words is something that can be learned by anyone. In their study, participants underwent half-hour training sessions that used a strategic technique for memory improvement for 40 days. Despite having no history of memory training and typical memory skills prior to the study, these people were able to increase their memory capacity by more than double. Their average recall prior to the training was 26 words out of 72, and after the study, this had risen to an astonishing 62 words. After four months had passed without further training, their recall remained remarkably high. According to brain scans that were taken before and after the memory training, their brain functions were actually altered by the training in a way that was reminiscent of the brains of the world’s top memory athletes. Some of these individuals are capable of memorizing 100 words or 500 digits in just five minutes! To make the comparison, the study’s lead author, Martin Dresler of Radboud University Medical Center, compared the brains of 23 memory athletes with 23 people of similar health status, intelligence, and age but normal memory skills. An fMRI measured the brain activity by highlighting changes in blood flow inside of their brains. The two groups did not have differences in their brain anatomy prior to the training, but […]

Rosemary, known as a sacred plant in ancient Greece, found to possess anticancer properties

Rosemary, known as a sacred plant in ancient Greece, found to possess anticancer properties

( Natural News ) If you thought rosemary’s abilities were limited to adding some flair to chicken and roasted potatoes, think again. Studies have shown that it can be surprisingly beneficial in preventing and reversing cancer, particularly when it comes to breast cancer. This evergreen herb with its distinctive scent comes from the mint family, and like its cousin oregano, it has plenty to offer in the way of therapeutic uses. It’s a native to the Mediterranean and its use there dates back to 500 B.C., when ancient Greeks and Romans used it as a medicinal herb as well as for cooking. Most of the commercial dried rosemary sold in the U.S. today comes from Spain, France and Morocco, but it’s very easy to grow it yourself if you live in a temperate area – and scientists have found many great reasons why you might want to do so. Studies have shown that it can stop human leukemia and breast cancer cells from spreading, prevent tumors from growing, and stop cancer-causing agents from forming. Its anticancer properties can largely be attributed to its high levels of potent antioxidants like rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid, and vitamin E. The carnosol in particular can help detoxify the substances that spur the growth of breast cancer tumors. According to a 2007 study carried out in Romania, 95 percent of women with stage 3 or 4 breast cancer who consumed a rosemary-rich salad noted a significant reduction in oxidative stress. It’s particularly useful for the four fifths of women with breast cancer who have the ER-positive variety, which means their cancer cells grow as a response to estrogen. Tamoxifen, which is normally used to block estrogen’s effects in such women, has a host of unpleasant effects like vaginal bleeding, nausea and hot flashes and […]

Study suggests spices outperform chemo and radiation for treating cancer

Study suggests spices outperform chemo and radiation for treating cancer

( Natural News ) Turmeric is an ancient spice commonly used in Indian cuisine. Aside from giving curries extra flavor and color, this humble yellow-orange root is rapidly becoming a new health wonder. It has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, but in the past few decades word of its powerful medicinal benefits has reached the Western world as well. In fact, turmeric now tops the list as one of the most frequently researched medicinal herbs. Its therapeutic use has been proven to be safe and effective in the treatment of various conditions and with no adverse side effects. Curcumin, turmeric’s active compound, gives the spice its bright yellow color and is responsible for most of its health-promoting effects. Multiple studies found evidence of curcumin’s potential to treat or prevent a host of human diseases, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurological issues, cancer, and other chronic, inflammatory diseases. According to Green Med Info , turmeric’s ability to prevent and treat medical conditions has been linked to over 800 different diseases. Now, one of the deadliest forms of brain cancer, glioblastoma, can be added to that list. Glioblastoma is an aggressive, fast-growing form of brain cancer which is usually treated with chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. These overpriced conventional treatments, however, have shown little to no effect in keeping cancer away. In contrary, they may be making it worse. Turmeric beats traditional treatments for lethal brain cancer In some patients, cancer has the ability to develop resistance to conventional therapies through the production of radioresistant and chemoresistant cancer stem cells. Knowing that glioblastoma tumors are packed with glioma stem cells, it is no surprise these treatments have shown little success.

What are nootropics/brain supplements?

Nootropics are supplements, drugs, or functional foods, that enhance cognitive functions such as intelligence, memory, and focus. Nootropics also called smart drugs or cognitive enhancers—are drugs, supplements, or other substances that improve cognitive function, particularly executive functions, memory, creativity, or motivation, in healthy individuals. The use of cognition-enhancing drugs by healthy individuals in the absence of a medical indication is one of the most debated topics among neuroscientists, psychiatrists, and physicians which spans a number of issues, including the ethics and fairness of their use, concerns over adverse effects, and the diversion of prescription drugs for nonmedical uses, among others. Nonetheless, the international sales of cognition-enhancing supplements exceeded US$1 billion in 2015 and the global demand for these compounds is still growing rapidly. According to Dr. Giurgea’s definition , nootropics: Enhance learning and memory. Enhance the resistance of learned behaviors/memories to conditions which tend to disrupt them. Protect the brain against various physical or chemical injuries. Increase the efficacy of the tonic cortical/subcortical control mechanisms. Lack the usual pharmacology of other psychotropic drugs and possess very few side effects and extremely low toxicity. Defining mental function is dependent on the nootropic that is consumed. In most cases, these supplements will: Improve memory Improve motivation Improve attention span and easily focus your thought .

Miracle food: Are you eating enough cruciferous vegetables?

Miracle food: Are you eating enough cruciferous vegetables?

( Natural News ) Vegetables are one of the keys to good nutrition and overall well-being; just about everyone knows that they need to eat their veggies if they want to preserve their health. But not all vegetables are created equal. To a degree, every vegetable, or at least every type of vegetable, comes with its own unique set of benefits. Cruciferous vegetables are no different: these kinds of veggies boast a wide variety of nutrients and health benefits all their own. Cruciferous vegetables belong to the Brassica family and include some well-known favorites like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage and kale. Some other notable Brassica family members are bok choy, mustard greens, horseradish, collard greens, kohlrabi, rutabagas, turnips, radishes, watercress and arugula. One thing that makes this family of vegetables special is the presence of the phytochemical sulforaphane. As Green Med Info explains, “Sulforaphane is produced when the enzyme myrosinase converts glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate (natural compound found in some plants), through a chemical reaction induced by damage to the plant, such as cutting or chewing. As such, glucoraphanin is known as the precursor to sulforaphane. ” Cruciferous vegetables contain a substantial amount of glucoraphanin, which helps to make them the nutrient powerhouses that they are. Budding research has shown that sulforaphane has a number of applications in a variety of diseases and conditions, with its potential benefits first being realized by Johns Hopkins researcher Paul Talalay in 1992. In the premier study, Talalay and his team examined and confirmed the anti-cancer effects of broccoli and sulforaphane. Since that time, he has continued to research the benefits of the plant compound and even founded The Brassica Chemoprotection Laboratory. Sulforaphane benefits the brain and body Some fairly recent research has indicated that sulforaphane can provide protective benefits to the brain […]

Calling It: This Brain-Boosting Herb Will Be 2019’s Top Wellness Trend

Calling It: This Brain-Boosting Herb Will Be 2019’s Top Wellness Trend

Courtesy of Plant People As I write this, I’ve been dosing on a melange of organic medicinal herbs. It’s not some illicit drug though. It’s an ancient blend of brain-boosting ingredients called nootropics. At its core, a nootropic is meant to increase or aid cognitive function. Some brands have even described it as “nature’s Adderall.” This unassuming herb is about to be a household name, perhaps even challenging CBD in popularity. Analysts say it’s on track to be an $11 billion industry by 2024, and yet most people aren’t quite sure what nootropics are, what they can do, and how to use them. We got the 411 on this rising herbal star. As with any emerging field, quality and side effects are still being studied—consult with your doctor to ensure anything, even natural herbs, are right for you. What are nootropics? “A nootropic is defined by its ability to support cognition but more specifically memory, creativity, and motivation in healthy people,” says Gabe Kennedy, cofounder of CBD and herb brand Plant People . Previously, products for cognitive health fell into two distinct categories: one that has instant effects but leaves you crashing after a short while or one that requires a long-term commitment, perhaps years, and leaves little indication whether it’s effectively working. A nootropic ticks both boxes—giving you an instant feeling of focus but also supporting your brain health long-term. It’s like having your cake and eating it too. And it’s no wonder users are looking for a natural fix for memory aids and neurotransmitter function repair, thanks to the nonstop distractions from social media, emails, and being endlessly contactable. “Recent reports suggest that around 70 percent of people struggle to feel focused daily–whether that’s at work or with their own to-do lists,” says Jules Miller, founder of […]

Researchers reveal how the common curry spice turmeric kills colon cancer cells

Researchers reveal how the common curry spice turmeric kills colon cancer cells

( Natural News ) Turmeric packs a powerful punch against cancer. This spice, which is commonly used to make curry, is known not just for its distinct taste but also for its various pharmacological activities. Most of its beneficial effects can be attributed to a compound called curcumin. Recently, researchers from the Sri Ramaswamy Memorial Institute of Science and Technology showed that this compound works against colon cancer by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest . Colon cancer is the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths. It is very difficult to treat and diagnose since, in most cases, symptoms only appear in the later stages of the disease. Some symptoms may include diarrhea, loose stools, rectal bleeding, painful bowel movements, unexplained weight loss, and irritable bowel syndrome. Although there are conventional treatments for colon cancer like chemotherapy and radiation, these are associated with many side effects. These include hair loss, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, changes in appetite, and weight loss. These highlight the need for treatments that are not just effective but are also safe and accessible. Curcumin is a polyphenol compound that has been the focus of many scientific studies due to its health benefits . It has the ability to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, improve brain function, alleviate symptoms of depression, and delay aging. It also has potent antiproliferative and anticancer effects. Previous reports have shown that upon inducing cell death and inhibiting cell proliferation in colon cancer, curcumin generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the role that ROS plays in these processes is yet to be revealed.

BIG MONEY MOVE: CBD-Infused Beverage Company Inks Huge Distribution Deal!

Dear Reader, The mainstreaming of healthy beverages and CBD -infused consumer products has reached a new level with a development that’s shaking up multiple industries throughout North America and abroad. We introduced this stock to you on September 4 th , 2018, and I am personally about to increase my own position in the company. They continue to take very serious steps in the beverage market, and it is becoming a core holding of mine. We first covered it at just 15 cents, and then saw it run to 74 cents, however, its recent pull back has created a very discounted entry point relative to what the company has achieved in the last 6 months. Despite improving their business and comparatively sitting at about where Bai was at this stage of their business, because of their exposure to the CBD market, the stock itself actually fell with the cannabis market pullback that started in November. However, this was a huge mistake because it’s not a cannabis company, it’s a health beverage business, that happens to also own a cannabis infused beverage company in addition to all of their other activities Today, we can pick shares up for 23 cents , which is honestly an absurdly low market valuation for a company like this. That’s why I love it! In my opinion, Koios Beverage Corp . has created one of the world’s safest, most natural, and science-driven beverage and supplement products to help you and your brain achieve optimal performance. Founded in January 2014 by Chris Miller, Koios Beverage Corp. (CAD: KBEV; USD: KBEVF) is quickly becoming the global leader in proprietary, patented, and clinically proven formulas for their flagship brand, KOIOS beverages and supplements. Chris created Koios out of the huge need he saw in the marketplace for sustainable […]

Munching on veggies can lower your risk of cognitive decline by more than 30%, researchers find

Munching on veggies can lower your risk of cognitive decline by more than 30%, researchers find

( Natural News ) Recent research provides another reason why eating vegetables is good for you. A study published in the journal Neurology reports that men who eat plenty of vegetables have a more than 30 percent lower risk of cognitive decline later in life. For the study, researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health aimed to determine the effect of long-term intake of fruits and vegetables on cognitive health later in life. To arrive at a conclusion, the Harvard researchers followed nearly 28,000 men for two decades starting from when they were 51 years old, on average. The participants answered questionnaires about their intake of fruits, vegetables, and other foods every four years. When they were 73 years old, on average, the participants also answered questionnaires that measured their memory and reasoning skills. This was done so that the researchers could evaluate the effect of eating habits in middle age on cognitive function later in life. The tests included questions about whether the men had difficulty remembering things, following instructions or keeping track of plots on television shows, and whether they got lost on familiar streets. The researchers grouped the participants into five, according to their fruit and vegetable intake. The group with the most vegetable intake ate nearly six servings each day, while the group with the least intake ate about two servings per day. For fruits, the group with the highest intake consumed about three servings per day, while the group with the lowest ate half a serving daily. The results showed that men who had regularly consumed the most vegetables over two decades had a 17 percent lower chance of having moderate cognitive deficits and 34 percent lower risk of having more extensive cognitive problems when they were in their late 70s, compared […]

Diabetics can reduce their risk of depression by taking melatonin and quercetin

Diabetics can reduce their risk of depression by taking melatonin and quercetin

( Natural News ) Diabetes is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world. Recent estimates by the World Health Organization show that there are more than 400 million people with this disease . This number is expected to become even bigger in the next few years unless people start doing something about it. Finding an effective treatment for diabetes should be of utmost priority, especially since this disease is associated with many health complications — including depression. Researchers from Algeria were able to find natural ways to reduce the risk of depression in diabetics. In their study, published in The Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences, they found that taking quercetin or melatonin supplements can improve anxiety- and depressive-like behavior in animal models with diabetes . Furthermore, these supplements were able to improve lipid levels. The flavonoid quercetin is naturally found in vegetables and fruits, including capers, onions, berries, apples, grapes, asparagus, and onions. This compound has been shown to have anti-diabetic properties. Moreover, there is evidence that quercetin has beneficial effects against depression and disorders of lipid metabolism. Meanwhile, melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland from tryptophan. Previous studies have shown that melatonin has potent antioxidant properties. It also has the ability to normalize lipid levels and improve depressive-like behavior. This study wanted to assess the ameliorative effects of melatonin and quercetin supplements on depressive-like behavior and unhealthy lipid levels. To do this, they used male Wistar rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes as animal models. The rats were subjected to an open field test and forced swimming test, both of which are used to evaluate anxiety- and depressive-like behavior. The team also collected blood samples from the rats after four weeks of treatment to determine changes in lipid levels. Serum parameters that were considered […]

Overweight women greatly benefit from drinking green tea

Overweight women greatly benefit from drinking green tea

( Natural News ) Obesity is a global epidemic that affects more than 650 million adults in the world. If it isn’t managed properly, this condition can lead to the development of health problems, such as cardiovascular disease. This outcome is partially attributed to the high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) often associated with obesity. Although there are conventional drugs that aim to reduce LDL levels, many of these have been shown to cause side effects like impaired liver function. Because of this, scientists continue to explore alternatives like herbal medicines that can be used for this purpose. Researchers from National Yang-Ming University and Taipei City Hospital found a natural way to reduce LDL levels in green tea. This widely consumed beverage is made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis , aptly called the tea plant. It contains polyphenols and flavonoids like epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These compounds are responsible for the beneficial effects of green tea , including its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antihypertensive activities. In this study from BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine , the researchers wanted to determine the effects of drinking green tea on obese and overweight women . To do this, they conducted a randomized, double-blind, and cross-over placebo-controlled clinical trial. They then measured parameters like triglyceride, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and LDL levels, as well as obesity-related hormone peptides like leptin, insulin, ghrelin, adiponectin, apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 and apolipoprotein B100.
