The competitive world has left us with a tiny margin for any
error due to us losing focus and not being alert enough. Fast cognition is the
crying need of the hour. But as we put constant pressure on the brain, our
cognition start decreasing gradually to the levels that we take longer to make
decisions and find it difficult to focus on our jobs or our day to day
activities. Even for a regular person, it has been found that the maximum a
person can stay focused is 20 minutes. 20 minutes is definitely not enough to
pursue our goals, at least not in the fast pacing world we currently live in.
There are many smart drugs out in the Nootropic market that
help in the cognitive enhancement and the promotion of wakefulness of the user.
One such commonly known smart drug compound is Modafinil. Modafinil is in fact
the world’s first oral smart drug to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, USA in the year 1998 for cognitive
enhancement and for the promotion of wakefulness and the treatment of various
sleeping disorders. Modafinil was however first used for the treatment of
Narcolepsy in France in the 1970s, but later as the other effect of cognitive
enhancement was found, the medication also came to be used as a cognitive
enhancer.
There are many smart drugs of the version of Modafinil
available for purchase online for the reasons stated;
- Provigil
- Modalert
- Modvigil
One of the more commonly known smart drugs from the Modafinil
locker is Modalert.
Much like Modafinil drugs, Modalert is also FDA Approved. Modalert in the
system lasts for nearly 12-13 hours that is eventually passed out through
urine.
Modafinil in the Modalert smart drug is used to stimulate
the Orexin receptors (OX1 and OX2). Following this stimulation the
medication also activates the Orexin peptide that is responsible for the
regulation of arousal, wakefulness and appetite. This peptide is also called
Hypocretin peptide. Another important part of this Modalert mechanism of action
is that the medication also impacts the levels of Dopamine in the body.
Dopamine is produced in the Hypothalamus of the brain and is taken up by the
synapses, throughout the day. The Dopamine is inhibited at the reuptake point
while it continues to be formed. This causes the Dopamine in the body to be
accumulated and a pool of Dopamine is formed. This excess of Dopamine
neurotransmitter is used by the body later for its wakefulness and cognitive
purposes. Other hormones like Norepinephrine
(promotes wakefulness and elevates hear rate), Serotonin (increases memory, regulates the mood and aids in the
creation of new neurons [Neurogenesis])
and Histamine (regulates the sleep
cycle). The cumulative effect of these hormones gives the user a euphoric
effect and helps the person take proper decisions.
