The complete focus supplements are best for people who are looking for overall benefits for their brain and its function. But many people prefer to use specific smart drugs for specific mental problems that they are facing. There are many smart drug formulations that are still under testing and scrutiny for effectiveness and they cannot be listed as viable brain function enhancers yet. There are a few proven supplements whose positive effects are acknowledged.
Smart drugs can be broadly classified into 3 categories: Enhancers, Inhibitors and Stimulants. Enhancers help in improving the function of certain parts of brain and its allied organs. Stimulants help the certain parts of the brain to function properly, to their full capabilities.
Inhibitors suppress certain functions, so that the brain relaxes and gets some rest. Inhibitors are ideal for people suffering from high stress, sleeping disorders, anxiety, etc. Enhancers are essential for people who experience a dip in their mental functions and stimulants are needed by all people, who want to keep their brains in working order. Here is a list of some of the best smart drug formulations in the market.

Racetams: These are brain function enhancers that are also used as medications for people with ADHD, Alzheimer's and Huntington's. There are many variations of racetams and the most popular ones are Piracetam, Aniracetam and Oxiracetam. Some consider Piracetam as being the first ever allopathic smart drug in the world. Racetams enhance cognitive functions of the brain. They are known to be very effective, right from day one. Even healthy people who use racetams, see a marked increase in their cognitive abilities.
Modafinil: this drug is prescribed for people with sleeping disorders and hyper activity. It is also popularly sold as a smart drug and used by people who have mind focus and concentration issues. The medication helps in relaxing the brain and allowing it to focus on specific tasks in a much efficient manner.
Amphetamine Medicines: Amphetamine and its variations are used as medication for various ailments, including mental disorders. These drugs help in maintaining cognitive function but their main benefit is for improving memory. These drugs are popular with college students and young working professionals who have memory problems. Apart from Amphetamine, there are a whole host of other stimulants that are used for memory improvement. Desipramine, Levodopa, Tolcapone are sold as memory loss smart drugs.
Traditional Medication: Smart drugs and nootropics are modern nomenclature to an ancient concept of mental cognition enhancement. People have been using herbal and natural medication for centuries to boost their mental power. The main ingredients used in traditional formulations are: Theanine, Ginkgo Biloba, Artichoke, Bacopa Monnieri, Caffeine extracts, etc.
There are numerous traditional products (with various formulations) that are as popular as allopathic formulations (if not more). In fact, many people prefer to use traditional smart drugs because of the wide spread assumption that they do not cause any side effects. Truth be told, all kinds of smart drugs may or can cause side effects in people. But their brain power enhancement benefits, far outweigh the threat of side effects that they may cause.
While many smart drugs require a prescription, there are other natural supplements that do not and have very similar benefits without the side effects.
