In in the United States, some nootropic supplements were identified as having misleading ingredients and illegal marketing. Over the years to , the FDA warned numerous supplement manufacturers about the illegal status of their products as unapproved drugs with no proven safety or efficacy at the doses listed on the products, together with misleading marketing.

In , stimulants, such as caffeine, were the most commonly used nootropic agent. The main concern with pharmaceutical drugs and dietary supplements are adverse effects. Long-term safety evidence is typically unavailable for many nootropic compounds.

Racetams , piracetam and other compounds that are structurally related to piracetam, have few serious adverse effects and low toxicity , but there is little evidence that they enhance cognition in people having no cognitive impairments.

In the United States, dietary supplements may be marketed if the manufacturer can show that the supplement is generally recognized as safe , and if the manufacturer does not make any claims about using the supplement to treat or prevent any disease or condition; supplements that contain drugs or advertise health claims are illegal under US law.

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of clinical research using low doses of certain central nervous system stimulants found that these drugs may enhance cognition in healthy people. Racetams, such as piracetam, oxiracetam , phenylpiracetam , and aniracetam , are often marketed as cognitive enhancers and sold over the counter.

Piracetam is not a vitamin , mineral, amino acid , herb or other botanical , or dietary substance for use by humans to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake.

Further, piracetam is not a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract or combination of any such dietary ingredient. Moreover, these products are new drugs as defined by section p of the Act, 21 U. Some supposed nootropic substances are compounds and analogues of choline , a precursor of acetylcholine a neurotransmitter and phosphatidylcholine a structural component of cell membranes.

Dr Ruairidh Battleday and Dr Anna-Katharine Brem from the University of Oxford and Harvard Medical School evaluated all research papers on cognitive enhancement with modafinil from January to December They found 24 studies dealing with different benefits associated with taking modafinil, including planning and decision making, flexibility, learning and memory, and creativity. Unsurprisingly, they found that the performance-enhancing capacity of modafinil varied according to the task. What emerged was that the longer and more complex the task tested, the more consistently modafinil conferred cognitive benefits.

Supplements and drugs Cogniitve sometimes used by healthy people to try to improve cognitive function and perform better at work or while studying. These supplements and drugs are known as cognitive enhancers. L-carnitine, which is found naturally in the diet, especially in meat, but can also be produced in the body, has been suggested as a possible cognitive enhancer.
