CDP-Choline
CDP-Choline (citicoline) is a nootropic compound that provides both choline and cytidine (which converts to uridine). Used medically for stroke recovery and cognitive decline. More potent than phosphatidylcholine for brain choline delivery. Evidence is strongest for cognitive support in age-related decline and stroke rehabilitation. Also studied for cocaine addiction (small improvement). May increase phosphatidylcholine synthesis in brain. Generally well-tolerated with excellent safety profile.

Cannabis is the common name and genus for a few plants used around the world due to their psychoactive properties. Its major component, known as THC, possesses acute benefits but is subject to rapid tolerance. Additionally, nonpsychoactive components like CBD may have chronic benefits. While therapeutic, particularly for pain relief, the plant is not a panacea.
Bacopa Monnieri

Bacopa monnieri is an Ayurvedic nootropic herb traditionally used for memory and cognitive enhancement ('Medhya Rasayana'). C-grade evidence for anxiety improvement, anhedonia (in depression), and alertness. D-grade for attention and Alzheimer's symptoms (no effect). Memory benefits are more consistent but require 8-12 weeks of consistent use. Works primarily via bacosides affecting cholinergic and serotonergic systems. One of the better-studied herbal nootropics but effects are modest and slow-developing.

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an amino acid derivative that is fat soluble and found in high amounts in the brain, where it contributes to cognitive functioning. PS has been studied the most for cognition in adults over 50, for people with high chronic stress, and for exercise performance, but further research is needed to confirm any benefit.
