They enhance alertness and focus by increasing the release of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. They also boost acetylcholine levels, which is important for memory and learning. They act as antioxidants or anti-inflammatory agents, protecting the brain from damage and promoting optimal brain function. They can also promote clearer thinking and improve cognitive processing speed and lead to better decision-making abilities. They assist in improving short-term and long-term memory, which makes it easier to recall and retain information. They also aid in enhancing academic or work performance by increasing productivity, efficiency, and cognitive abilities.
