Synergistic combinations
“Several nootropic substances used together may give you more cognitive benefits,” states Psychology Today. Combining nootropics is called “stacking,” and their synergy can provide multiple potential benefits.
How it works:
While coffee and tea are recognized for their caffeine content, they also contain additional nootropic compounds. Caffeine contributes to brain stimulation, while chlorogenic acid—an active ingredient in coffee—improves mood and boosts energy. Green tea also contains caffeine (though less than coffee) and catechins, which can also increase energy levels and elevate mood.
What it can do:
- Nootropics work by increasing blood flow to the brain, delivering more oxygen and nutrients. When combined, they work synergistically to further enhance cognitive performance. Other benefits depend on which nootropics are part of the stack and how users react to each.
- Stacking two, three, four, or more nootropics may “amplify their effects and unlock new levels of cognitive prowess,” says BigBrain.
