Adderall Alternative? With Cognitive Energy Enhancers, Students Are Changing the Way Americans Think

Aug. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- It’s time to go back to school; and on college campuses across America that means long hours in the library, a stack of books and a return to so-called ‘smart pills’ like Adderall. The use of Adderall as a neuroenhancer is so prevalent among college students that a 60 Minutes expose indicated 34% to as much as 60% of undergraduate juniors and seniors have taken ADHD drugs as study aids, and did so without a prescription. Surprising results, the report said.

To most college students, however, the results were not surprising at all. The only thing shocking about the expose is the idea that the use of drugs like Adderall and Ritalin comes as a shock to anyone. College students have been using ‘smart pills’ to supplement their study habits for the last decade. In fact, the use of neuroenhancers has now graduated into the work place, carried there by a generation of young professionals that sees ‘smart pills’ as important tools for success.

So what’s the problem? To begin, prescription drugs like Adderall are not meant for non-therapeutic use and can be addictive, potentially harmful and illegal to consume without a doctor’s permission.

Adderall Alternative? Science to the rescue. Now there are alternatives: newer, better ‘smart pills,’ known as Cognitive Energy Enhancers, that incorporate powerful nootropics, like piracetam, to help keep users alert, focused and motivated – all without a prescription.

Cognitive Energy Enhancers are quickly replacing drugs like Adderall and Concerta as the ‘smart pills’ of choice. Based on the science of nootropics, they are legal, non-prescription and widely available. No longer a dorm room secret, bottles of PROFIDERALL, the popular nootropic-based Cognitive Energy Enhancer, are popping up in book bags, purses and desk drawers across the country.

In scientific terms, nootropics improve the function of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine via muscarinic cholinergic (ACh) receptors, which are implicated in memory processes. Furthermore, they have an effect on NMDA glutamate receptors which are involved with learning and memory processes. Nootropics influence neuronal and vascular functions and increase cognitive function, while at the same time providing a natural source of energy.

Companies like PROFIDERALL (http://www.profiderall.com), have taken ‘smart pills’ a step further, creating what they call a ‘Cognitive Energy Complex’ that pairs the latest nootropic formulation with powerful energy compounds to provide fuel for both your body and mind.

The result? Nootropic substances help to improve creative thinking, information processing, attention, cortical/behavioral arousal, learning and memory… while the powerful synthetics provide energy that lasts up to 6 hours.

No longer an underground campus secret, non-prescription Cognitive Energy Enhancers like PROFIDERALL, are seen as necessary tools for a generation dedicated to success and looking for a way to work smarter, work longer and accomplish more in today’s very competitive world.
