What if you could unlock your brain’s potential with just a pill? It sounds like something out of Limitless, but there’s a whole culture around nootropics, or “smart drugs”. But do any of them work?

Just wanted to see whether they work or not!** Paper on cognitive effects of creatine: http://jtoomim.org/files/Ling_2009-Cognitive_effects_of_creatine_ethyl_ester_supplementation.pdf Sources: https://teens.drugabuse.gov/blog/post/buzz-caffeine-updated https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4462044/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14513920 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0014299970901585 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ggi.12123 https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-ginkgo/art-20362032 https://www.poison.org/articles/ginkgo-biloba-risks-benefits-181 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26268332 https://link.springer.com/article/10.2165%2F00007256-200535020-00002 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19773644 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25447485 http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1458103/3/Athauda_NRNeuro_Manuscript_V2.0_template.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21118604 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28971241 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16930802 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4728665/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6018192/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6018192/…
