What do we mean by nootropics and state-of-mind supplements?
Nootropics and state-of-mind supplements are often meant to support processes that naturally occur in the body and brain. These include how cells communicate with each other, how the body responds to daily stimuli, or how organic systems maintain balance under changing circumstances. These aren't new or artificial functions, but rather mechanisms that everyone already possesses and that play a role in daily alertness, stress responses, and emotional well-being.
Research into natural regulation
In recent years, researchers have increasingly focused on how the body regulates itself and maintains balance. Examples include the interplay between rest and activity in the nervous system, the ability of cells to generate energy, and natural recovery after periods of stress. Within this field of research, attention often focuses on patterns of adaptation and balance, such as how people respond to stressful situations, how calm is regained, and how signals between the body and brain are continuously calibrated. These natural processes form the basis for understanding how external factors, such as diet and lifestyle, influence this process.
Examples from the collection
Newtraceuticals' "Mood" line includes several products with diverse ingredient profiles. Three examples:
Oyster Extract – OysterMax®: composed of freeze-dried oysters, with a spectrum of minerals (such as zinc, copper and selenium), amino acids and marine nutrients.
MitoQ – Adrenal + Balance: contains a combination of plant extracts such as Sensoril® Ashwagandha, Rhodiolife® Rhodiola and Maritime Pine, supplemented with the patented antioxidant MitoQ® and vitamin D3.
Grass-fed Beef Brain: an organ supplement from grass-fed beef, with components derived from brain tissue, including phospholipids, peptides and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA).
These examples show that modern formulations are often made up of a mix of minerals, plant extracts and animal ingredients, each with their own nutritional profile and background.
