Cognitive Supplements - The Secret to Increased Productivity?

Cognitive supplements are dietary supplements that intend to improve cognition--brain function. The most common claims are that they help improve focus, alertness, and memory. Interestingly enough, the ingredients of cognitive supplements seem to vary drastically from product to product. Some contain vitamins, minerals, and natural, herbal ingredients, while other manufactures turn to synthesized ingredients in hope of more drastic results. Some cognitive supplements even include energy ingredients to help improve the end result.

What really works?

Individual results tend to vary, but generally speaking, all cognitive supplements incorporate ingredients that have been scientifically proven to improve brain function. However, be aware that when it comes to dietary supplements, more is not always better--contrary to what conventional wisdom might tell us. In an attempt to wow a consumer, many manufacturers pump up their ingredients list by incorporating, in some cases, dozens upon dozens of ingredients. This is where the problem of ineffectiveness arises. It is in no way possible for such a large quantity of ingredients to be present in effective dosages. In fact, the highest regarded cognitive supplements on the market tend to be those with few ingredients and simple formulas.

The consumer must also be aware of fillers. Fillers are cheap, often ineffective ingredients used many manufacturers to save money. Proprietary complexes tend to do two things. One is to mask the identity of a formula to help protect it from being copied by competitors. Unfortunately, the other is often used in an attempt to hide the quantities of effective ingredients and fillers. Propriety complexes must list ingredients by both amount (the highest quantities must be listed first in the complex,) and in alphabetical order. When you are looking into the purchase of a cognitive supplement, research the ingredients that sit at the top of the propriety complex. Generally, if they are of high quality, the rest of the complex will be as well.

Are Cognitive Supplements Safe?

In short, yes. To make sure, as with all other dietary supplements, it is always suggested that one consults a physician before use. Also, note that some contain stimulants such as caffeine, guarana, or herbal stimulants. Those who are sensitive to stimulants, or have known food allergies, should always read the label prior to a purchase.

Seeing that most cognitive supplements contain ingredients scientifically proven to work, they may just be the key to improving productivity in all aspects of life. When purchasing, it is always important to look past marketing, brand image, and quantity of ingredients. For the best results, look for one with a proprietary complex that contains few, effective ingredients and no inexpensive fillers.

During high-intensity training, glucose and glycogen are broken down for energy. In the process, hydrogen ions (H+) are also produced within the muscles. H+ accumulation causes the muscles to become more acidic and ultimately leads to fatigue. Packed with beta-alanine, histidine, and phosphates, Optimum Nutrition's Threshold formula is designed to help boost your intramuscular buffering system so you can train harder, longer.
