The year of Adderall and the Future of Smart Drugs

Dec. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- As 2012 comes to a close, it is safe to say this has been, for better or worse, the year of Adderall®. With a long list of headlines covering topics like Adderall Shortages, the Ethics of Smart Drugs, and Medicating Success, it seemed like there was a new article on Adderall everyday. And the popularity of the drug extended beyond the media. This year, 98% of pharmacies have experienced Adderall shortages. Given this meteoric rise of attention...

Can we all stop pretending that the rise in popularity of Adderall is directly related to anything other than students and young professionals using it as a "smart drug"???

Look, students have been using Adderall for years to improve focus and concentration. So much so that Cognitive Enhancement has become a billion dollar industry.  And it doesn’t stop when people leave college. In fact, this generation of graduates is carrying smart drugs into the workplace. It is not uncommon for young professionals to use ADHD medications to keep up with their daily routine.

It is ridiculous to think this Adderall shortage correlates with a sudden spike in cases of ADHD.  So why has all the controversy played out in the media?

The reason can be traced to the off-label use of prescription drugs. And rightfully so. Medications designed to treat ADHD are not meant for non-therapeutic use and can be addictive, potentially harmful and illegal to consume without a doctor’s permission. In addition, they are Class 2 controlled substances and rank among the most addictive substances that have a medical use.

Why not remove the stigma attached to the use of ADHD medication for cognitive enhancement by simply creating a product specifically for cognitive enhancement???

That’s what PROFIDERALL has done with the creation of its Cognitive Energy Complex™. PROFIDERALL’s Cognitive Energy Complex™ pairs the latest nootropic ‘smart drugs’ with powerful energy compounds to provide fuel for both mind and body, which has resulted in it is being called the “Adderall Alternative.”

Introducing the Science of Nootropics

PROFIDERALL is pioneering the science of Nootropics to help healthy overachievers improve focus and increase concentration… without the use of prescription medications.

Nootropics improve the function of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine via muscarinic cholinergic (ACh) receptors, which are implicated in memory processes. Furthermore, they have an effect on NMDA glutamate receptors which are involved with learning and memory. Nootropics influence neuronal and vascular functions and increase cognitive function, while at the same time providing a natural source of energy to keep you alert and motivated.

Nootropics are changing the field of cognitive enhancement. Most notably with the development of Nootropic Stacks. These scientifically engineered, meticulously refined formulas, like PROFIDERALL’s Cognitive Energy Complex™, are redefining smart drugs. Combining key Nootropic substances clinically proven to improve creative thinking, information processing, attention, cortical/behavioral arousal, learning and memory… with powerful energy compounds to deliver intense focus and incredible energy that lasts up to 6 hours.

Simply put, Nootropics and products like PROFIDERALL are changing the way a generation students and professionals see and use smart drugs. Say what you will about the ethics of improving brain function, focus and concentration... by separating cognitive enhancement from ADHD, those who need Adderall for medical treatment won’t face critical shortages – and healthy overachievers looking to improve focus and concentration won't have to worry about the implications of acquiring prescription medication for off-label use.

After a year that’s often been mired in controversy, it is clear the future of smart drugs can be bright… with increasing acceptance throughout all levels of society… but only when we separate the cognitive enhancement of smart drugs from the medical conditions treated by Adderall.
