What’s a nootropic? What’s an adaptogen?Updated a year ago

You may notice the terms adaptogen and nootropics used interchangeably, that’s because some plants and herbs can act as both an adaptogen and a nootropic and as such, and their benefits may cross over. However, the primary aim of nootropics and adaptogens is different and distinct. Nootropics work to enhance brain health and cognitive performance (Coffee, Green Tea, L-theanine, Creatine), whereas adaptogens focus on reducing both mental and physical stress (Lion’s Mane Mushroom, Cordyceps, Ashwagandha, Turmeric).
