Welcome to Nootropics: Natural Brain Boosters

We are faced with an ever-increasing need to process and retain complex information, as  our fast-paced lives emphasize an excellent memory, quick thinking, and creative problem-solving abilities.  Nothing supports these needs better than nootropics or powerful plant-based extracts, that have been utilized for thousands and thousands of years, as seen in ancient Ayurvedic and Chinese texts.

If you are looking to crush anxiety, depression, stress, and improve all cognitive functions we have a solution and it comes from the earth. Get back to your roots!  You are what you eat, nature/god/source has the answers, and our 100% natural vegan product will prove it to you.  We’ve spent years refining this formula of nootropics  and receive feedback daily on how users have pushed themselves to new levels, which they didn’t believe they could ever reach.

We start with Organic Lion’s Mane mushroom, a super-star in the nootropics world. The Organic Lion’s Mane in Neuro-Stack is a potent cognitive booster, especially since it’s wild grown on its natural substrates. Lion’s mane improves the health of brain tissue over time by stimulating Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), enhances nerve regeneration and gives a boost to brainpower by enhancing the communication between neurons. It’s been used clinically to reduce the plaques in the brain formed in Alzheimer’s disease and to treat ADHD. Learn more about the intense benefits of our Lion’s Mane at https://akualife.com/pages/lions-mane-mushroom .

Neuro-Stack also includes a patented high potency extract of  Turmeric called Curcumin C3 Complex®. Curcumin decreases inflammation and is a natural pain reliever; it also has been used as an antidepressant for centuries. Curcumin is a mood lifter and brings clarity over thoughts. It promotes the growth of new neurons and improves the balance of serotonin and dopamine, so you feel ready to tackle your day.

Next is Ashwagandha, one of the most powerful herbs employed in Ayurvedic healing for 1000’s of years. Ashwagandha works just as well as some of the most potent drugs used to treat anxiety and depression. This ancient remedy has remarkable stress-relieving properties. Our Ashwagandha is a patented version called Sensoril® and it is 5x more potent.

The Bacopa Monnieri extract in Neuro-Stack is a patented form called Bacognize®. Bacognize is an adaptogenic herb, which fights stress in your body and your brain and works as a healing agent, that doesn’t just cover up the symptoms like many drugs.

In order to get your brain firing and allow you to work at your best, CDP Choline/Citicoline is essential. We use a patented form called COGNIZIN®.  Choline is brain food and it gets used up faster, the more intensely we have to study and the more stress we have to deal with. It’s a primary neurotransmitter, which makes all the other functions of the brain possible.  CDP Choline is a targeted compound that has been used in clinical settings to heal stroke damage and studies have shown it can improve healing in the brain and improve cognitive performance.

Suntheanine® is a potent form of the amino acid L-theanine that’s been patented for its effectiveness.  It shifts your brainwave patterns away from the scattered, reactive beta state into the more focused and calm alpha state.  This is where your brain flows, where thoughts come effortlessly and you feel alert without being anxious.  Suntheanine® works extremely well with caffeine, enhancing cognitive abilities and wakefulness while soothing any potential jitters.  We’ve chosen not to include caffeine in our formula because if you’re reading this you’re likely already mainlining the stuff.

In all we have 27 nootropics in our masterpiece including 9 patented ones for optimum bioavailability.  We’ve done an astronomical amount of research into each of our ingredients and we constantly evaluate our supplies for exceptional quality.  We crafted this formula so you can perform at your highest level. You need to be at the top of your game every single day.  Our goal is to support you in unlocking your potential because you’re here to make a real difference in the world.

You’re Not Alone: Facing Loneliness in College

There is often an expectation that going to college will result in the commencement of the best years of a person’s entire life. For some people, this is true. Becoming independent, moving away from home and making new friends can provide the freedom that they need in order to flourish. Yet, for others, this isn’t the case at all.

Whilst college can be fun and exciting, it is natural that such huge amounts of change can cause anybody to feel anxious, vulnerable and insecure, prompting feelings of loneliness in college. According to a 2017 survey of 48,000 college students, 64 percent said that they had felt “very lonely” in the previous 12 months.

So why doesn’t anybody talk about loneliness in college?

Thanks to pop-culture, the pressure to enjoy college is paramount, generating shame and silence in those who can’t keep up with their classmates’ levels of constant excitement.

College is pretty much a wildcard. Disappointment with reality compared to expectation is a huge struggle for students, along with being in a strange environment, lacking money, being unprepared for independent living, missing family and friends and lacking a routine. Not clicking with the people that you’re forced to live with and comparing your experiences to those on social media can lead to feelings of isolation and inadequacy.

With no one to check up on you, retreating into these suffocating feelings of loneliness can be easier than conforming to the pressure to fake it along with everyone else. This can cause mental health struggles such as anxiety and depression, and make it impossible to concentrate on your increased workload.

Sound familiar? Here’s how to face loneliness in college.

“Not clicking with the people that you’re forced to live with and comparing your experiences to those on social media can lead to feelings of isolation and inadequacy”

Talk to someone 

Telling someone that you’re feeling lonely and overwhelmed won’t fix the situation, but will relieve a huge weight from your shoulders and allow your brain to process these feelings objectively.

This person could be a family member, friend, neighbor or even a complete stranger or doctor. Colleges often have wellbeing and support groups that will help you to realize that other people are experiencing the same feelings as you.

Admitting that you’re lonely can be hard and feel embarrassing, but speaking out and realizing that it is normal to struggle will ease your mind. You might even make a new friend.

Put yourself out there

It can be hard, but making an effort to meet new people will increase your chances of finding someone who you connect with and combating loneliness in college. Don’t feel pressured to like everyone that you live with, choosing who we forge friendships with is one of life’s privileges.

It sounds cliché, but joining clubs and societies and being part of a team or learning a new skill can introduce you to new people, give you a sense of routine and distract your mind for a while. Sitting next to someone new in lectures and mustering the courage to ask them if they’ve finished the assignment could lead to conversation, and hanging out in community areas will also help you to feel included.

Posting on a social media group for your area of residence and asking if anyone wants to hang out can also introduce you to new friends. If you’re thinking about quitting anyway, what have you got to lose?

Look after your body 

Loneliness and mental health problems are often linked with decreases in physical health. Getting enough sleep, exercising and eating a healthy, balanced diet will not only give you energy, but also improve your mood and cognitive function, helping you to think a little more clearly.

Get a part-time job

If you had a part-time job before college, consider applying for a similar role or volunteering in your free time. Unlike the vast, new changes in your life, knowing what to expect in a job role will give you routine, distract you from your worries and help you to feel more settled. Not to mention, working will introduce you to an entirely new set of people and give you a break from your fellow students.

Remember: You are normal

It is so important to normalize the situation and realize that being lonely is not only okay, but also expected.

Every person is different and being thrown together with a group of strong personalities when you are more reserved, or vice versa, can make you feel different, in a bad way. People also naturally have different stress levels, coping abilities and family relationships.

Similarly, remember that social media is not a true representation of reality. People post staged highlights of their life, and in most cases do not live to that level of excitement on a day-to-day basis.

Give yourself time

Like with any big change, adjusting can take time. People take varying amounts of time to adjust to a situation and the academic year will also take a while to quieten down.

If you need to take time for yourself, then do. Equally, it’s okay to go home for the weekend, or take a break from college all together and apply again when you’re more prepared.

For some people, college just isn’t for them. There are so many other paths forward in life and nobody is going to judge you for wanting out of a bad one.

Monitor your mental health 

Whilst loneliness is not a mental health problem, lonely feelings can turn into anxious thoughts. If you’re feeling worried, depressed or having panic attacks, talk to someone. If your feelings of loneliness in college are interfering with your ability to function and taking over your daily life, then ask someone to step in.
