List of nootropics and nutritional supplements that are theorized to augment and increase intelligence, motivation, attention and focus.

1. Vitamin B12- This particular water soluble nutrient has been known to have a positive effect on the health of the brain and the nervous system. Primarily its task is to optimize the essential factors in establishing a fully functional metabolism of all cells in the body by accelerating enzymatic reactions in the human body (which in turn can increase the pace of your metabolism, which may induce weight loss). This vitamin also essential to affect DNA synthesis and regulation and the metabolism of fatty acids.

2. Fish oil- This Omega 3 enriched supplement is exceptionally nourishing for the brain and nervous system for several primary reasons:
* The Omega 3 fatty acids in Fish oils, which is an essential fatty acid required by the body for optimal health, have been substantiated to reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer's and improve memory function by 15% according to a recent study.
*There is also some evidence that the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids not only results in faster regeneration of peripheral nerves which have been injured, but also causes decreased levels of muscle wasting after nerve damage, thus promoting nerve and neuronal health.

SSRIs and their positive contribution to the production of new brain cells.

 It has been empirically proven through observational studies that certain antidepressants may have an extremely positive benefit on serotonergic activity in the human brain, thus encouraging the proliferation of neurogenesis in the hippocampus region of the brain to compensate for the abundance of the neurotransmitter, serotonin (http://www.nature.com/mp/journal/v16/n7/full/mp201126a.html).

 Serotonergics are classified as medicines or substances that may contribute to preventing the reuptake (the reabsorbtion) of serotonin, which invariably allows more serotonin to stay in the brain for a prolonged period of time, which sufficiently, may promote positive feelings of well being and happiness that could have a positive impact on cognition.
