About Nootropics

DMAE L-Bitartrate, an amino alcohol, is the active ingredient in Limitless Nootropic. Though it’s commonly known as DMAE, you might also see the names dimethylaminoethanol or deanol.

This amino alcohol already exists in small quantities in our bodies, specifically our brains. It’s thought to carry out various functions we rely on for basic functioning.

• Support Neurotransmitters

  It’s thought to trigger the production of the essential nutrient choline, which our brains need to make the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (Ach). Nerve cells rely on Ach to signal each other and regulate various functions, including sleep and muscle movement.

  Stronger transmissions improve overall brain function, including memory and focus. Since it appears to improve nerve health, DMAE may have the added bonus of improving mood and sleep patterns.
  
  

• Prevent Anti-Brain Buildup

  Though it’s still speculative, DMAE may prevent the buildup of beta-amyloid, or amyloid beta peptides. There appears to be a strong correlation between beta-amyloid and Alzheimer’s disease. At least one study found that over half of all cases they considered had plaque deposits composed of an amyloid beta peptide.
  
  

• Clean Up Free Radicals

  Though we don’t know much about free radicals, we do know that some can make people sick. These unstable atoms have connections to various age-related conditions, including dementia and degenerative neurological diseases. At least one study found that DMAE likely scavenges free radicals, serving as an antioxidant.

Caffeine is another common nootropic and natural stimulant. It blocks adenosine, a neurotransmitter that triggers sleepiness, to make you feel more alert. Caffeine often comes with undesirable side effects, like a heavy crash.

For some perspective, the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) suggests no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine per day. That’s the equivalent of four or five cups of coffee, but Limitless Nootropics for focus contain only 35 milligrams.

Barley is a carbohydrate that may boost energy and improve concentration. It also might help the brain cope with stress and support biochemical antidepressants to boost mood.

Schisandra extract may sound unusual, but it’s surprisingly common in nutrition and botanical medicine for its potential impact on the neurological system. More specifically, the solution may support nerve health to delay neurodegeneration.

Bitter orange extract might be familiar for its anti-nausea qualities, but it’s a long-standing treatment for a host of other conditions. Though the history of bitter orange extract remains mostly anecdotal, it’s widely accepted to be a stimulant. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) listed it as a banned drug due to its stimulant qualities.

Vitamins are essential to our health and well-being. These B vitamins play a major role in brain health, and deficiencies can lead to a score of difficulties.

• Vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiencies can cause a serious brain disorder that may be fatal. Some of the primary symptoms include confusion and coordination problems.
• Vitamin B6 likely reduces homocysteine in the brain, a protein with connections to dementia and other cognitive problems.
• Vitamin B12 also targets homocysteine, and it helps prevent brain atrophy.

Though the B vitamins appear to play a role in brain health, they do not serve as primary treatments. However, deficiencies in these vitamins can negatively impact cognitive function.

Taurine is another amino acid, typically produced in our urinary system but present throughout the body. It’s thought to reduce neural stress and support the nervous system to combat neurodegeneration.

Glycans are critical for neurological systems and support higher brain functions. It appears glycans play a role in memory with connections between cognitive impairments and defective or deficient glycans.
