The B vitamins (especially 6,9, and 12) are essential in the production of important neurotransmitters. They act as cofactors, aiding in the synthesis of chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine.

IQ1000 gives well above the daily value at 25mg, 5mg, and 1mg respectively.

The most popular, underrated, and overused everyday nootropic. Caffeine works by acting as an adenosine receptor antagonist. Adenosine is the chemical that makes us feel tired and relaxed. Caffeine blocks this, creating an energized effect and stimulating the sympathetic nervous system
