When faced with this question the majority of people answered, “What’s a nootropic?”
This is a fair question as nootropics are not very well known and relatively new to the supplement market. A nootropic is a supplement, drug, or other substance that has been shown to enhance cognitive ability. This is especially true in the areas of memory, creativity, motivation, and other executive functions in otherwise healthy individuals who are experiencing brain fog, lack of motivation, and feeling uninspired.
There are two categories of nootropics. Synthetic (lab created) and natural (grown in nature). Natural nootropics not only enhance function they can actually help make the brain healthier. Synthetic versions only work Read More
Time is a strange thing. When we are little we look so forward to double digits – the big 10. Then from there its 16, the age where we can drive by ourselves and feel freedom. At 18 you can join the military and are legally an adult and at 21, in most states, you can legally purchase alcohol. Most of us cannot wait to be 21. From there some kind of weird reversal happens!
Many even start lying about their age. Though of course in your 20s you certainly are not looking old. Especially to those of us who are older, you still look like Read More
No matter what sport you play or compete in, they all require endurance, strength, and stamina. Preworkout formulations give you a quick burst of energy, but that fades within an hour or two and doesn’t leave any positive results and can sometimes even leave you feeling jittery.
Coffee does the same, just with less lift than a preworkout. Ideally, we would get everything our bodies need through nutrition alone, however, most people’s diets don’t consist entirely of whole foods, organic, and grass-fed meats, nuts, and seeds. We eat boxed, prepackaged, non-organically grown vegetables, meats that have been treated with hormones, and quite frankly a lot of Read More

If you are feeling your age and think that is just the way it is and there is nothing you can do about it, boy do we have some good news for you!
Would you like to feel like you are in your 20s again even in your 50s or later? The name of the game is hormones. That clock keeps on ticking, but it doesn’t have to do the damage it does when supplemented correctly. Scientists have been studying a molecule known as NMN. It has been deemed the anti-aging elixir.
In a study conducted in 2018 Dr. Satchidananda Panda looked at time restricted eating and found that when you Read More
What is a Nicotinamide mononucleotide?
Often referred to simply as NMN, Nicotinamide Mononucleotide is a Vitamin B3 derivative that occurs naturally in foods we eat. These include dietary sources such as vegetables, fruits, and milk. Once in the body NMN is used by your cells to create nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). NAD+ is a powerhouse of an essential molecule that resides in every single cell inside of the human body. They are vital for sustaining life and they power our DNA.
NMN which creates NAD+ in the body is used to fuel our Sirtuins. Sirtuins are a class of proteins that among other functions, help to control cellular deterioration over time Read More
