Drink for concentration and memory: natural nootropic ginger

Ginger: The Forgotten Natural Nootropic

Synthetic nootropics are in vogue. But the most powerful natural nootropic has been known for 5000 years.

How Ginger Improves Cognitive Function

  • Cerebral Circulation — vasodilator, increases oxygen and glucose supply to the brain
  • Neuroprotection — gingerols protect neurons from oxidative stress and neuroinflammation
  • Acetylcholine — ginger inhibits acetylcholinesterase, increasing acetylcholine (the memory neurotransmitter)
  • BDNF — turmeric increases BDNF (neurotrophic factor), essential for brain plasticity

Clinical Study

A randomized study on women aged 50-65 showed that 800mg of ginger/day for 2 months significantly improved working memory and reaction time (Saenghong et al., 2012).

Sugar Reduces Concentration

Blood sugar spikes fragment attention. Chronic hyperglycemia reduces the hippocampus (memory center). Zero sugar = optimal brain.

INTI — ginger + turmeric + black pepper, zero sugar. The complete natural nootropic.
