The clinical evidence for nootropics in for healthy young people is limited, but the case is strong for older adults or people with cognitive impairment. Nicotine, caffeine and provigil are the only things that seem to work for everyone. It is worth noting that while nootropics probably aren't going to make you smarter, there are many compounds that are likely to enhance long term memory formation. The mechanism for this is stimulation of BDNF secretion, which plays a role in neural stem cell proliferation in the hippocampus. Short chain fatty acids from dietary fiber fermentation, niacin, curcumin, green tea catechins and magnesium have all been shown to be beneficial in this regard. Of course, probably the best single thing you can do to improve your mind is get more exercise.
