"Cognitive functioning can be boosted with NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a naturally occurring coenzyme whose levels decline with age. NAD+ supplementation has been studied, and the results show that it enhances energy levels, elevates mood, and offers protection against oxidative damage in neural cells. Other studies have indicated early signs of enhanced memory and cognitive function, along with increased cerebral blood flow."
"I have been using this peptide as a neuronal stimulant that supports cognition and energy, thereby fostering improved focus. It functions similarly to an ADHD medicationbut unlike Adderall, it has significantly fewer side effects. Many of my perimenopausal patients report that this supplement has helped with their brain fog and memory, issues they noticed emerging during perimenopause. A potential side effect is occasional heart racing when the medication is administered."
Peptide therapies, NAD+, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and the peptide Selank offer potential benefits for cognition, alcohol use disorders, and emotional well-being. NAD+ supplementation may elevate energy and mood, protect neural cells from oxidative damage, and show early signs of improved memory and cerebral blood flow, though most evidence derives from animal studies and further human validation is needed. GLP-1s can decrease alcohol consumption and aid alcohol use disorder treatment. Selank nasal spray may modulate neurotransmitters to enhance emotional well-being. Peptides function as nootropics by supporting natural physiological processes and are being integrated into holistic mental health care with low risk.
