What are memory and concentration supplements and how do they work?
Food supplements aimed at mental performance are designed to provide nutrients that contribute to normal cognitive function. Our brain requires a constant supply of specific substances to maintain proper neurotransmission and manage daily fatigue.
At Anastore, we formulate our supplements under the strictest criteria. These products are intended to support the physiological well-being of the nervous system, optimising natural capabilities such as attention and learning.
We include both traditionally used botanical extracts and cutting-edge nootropic complexes, always prioritising the proven efficacy of their active compounds:
Our criteria for quality, purity, and safety
At Anastore, we apply rigorous quality control to every batch manufactured. Our aim is to offer a catalogue with the utmost analytical purity and exceptionally high bioavailability.
- Firstly, we require precise standardisations for all our plant extracts. This ensures that the concentration of active molecules (such as Ginkgo lactones) is always identical, quantifiable, and effective in every dose.
- Secondly, we opt for independent international certifications. Our Omega 3 is backed by the prestigious IFOS certification, which guarantees exceptional purity, minimal oxidation levels, and the total absence of heavy metals.
- Lastly, we prioritise clean extraction methods and respectful sourcing. Our Vitamin B12 is obtained exclusively through fermentation, and we offer liquid formats certified under strict organic farming standards, ensuring premium-grade products.
When is the best time of day to take supplements for cognitive performance?
It depends on the specific formulation. Supplements containing adaptogenic plants such as Rhodiola rosea or Eleutherococcus are generally recommended in the morning or at midday to support energy-yielding metabolism, avoiding any interference with night-time rest.
How long does it take to notice the benefits of these ingredients?
Nutrients such as DHA act progressively on a structural level. Although they may offer short-term support in some cases, we recommend maintaining the routine for at least 4 to 12 weeks to consolidate the benefits to the nervous system.
Is it safe to combine different botanical and nootropic formulas?
Yes, our formulas are highly compatible. It is common practice to combine structural lipids like Omega 3 DHA with circulatory extracts such as Ginkgo biloba. We recommend reading the labels to avoid excessively doubling the daily intake of the same vitamin or mineral, and always following their instructions.
Can I take nootropics or memory supplements if I already consume coffee or other stimulating drinks?
Yes, most of our botanical extracts (such as Bacopa or Ginkgo) and vitamins work by nourishing the nervous system and improving blood flow, rather than overstimulating it. Unlike conventional energy drinks, they do not cause spikes of nervousness. However, we do recommend moderating your overall caffeine intake; an excess of stimulants can raise stress levels and hinder both deep concentration and a restful night's sleep.
Are these supplements exclusively for older adults, or are they also suitable for students?
Our supplements are formulated to support the intellectual performance of adults at different stages of life. They are an excellent option for students and professionals during periods of high mental demand (exams, projects, work-related stress), as well as for adults and older people who wish to actively maintain their cognitive function, memory, and mental agility.
Which memory supplements are most recommended for studying during exam periods or competitive assessments?
During periods of high academic demand, we recommend formulas that combine active compounds for attention and the reduction of fatigue. Our proprietary developments for this purpose, Pro-Memory and Pro-Concentration, are ideal. B-group vitamins, such as our Vitamin B12 obtained through fermentation, are also essential for reducing physical and mental fatigue. Furthermore, botanical nootropics like Bacopa monnieri or adaptogenic extracts like Rhodiola rosea help the body manage stress and maintain cognitive performance during long, intense study days.
How long before sitting down to study should I take these supplements?
The ideal time depends on the nature of the ingredients. Active compounds such as the Ginseng complex are designed to offer more immediate support and can be taken 1 to 2 hours before a study session. However, to achieve a genuine and sustained improvement in the ability to study and retain information, structural nutrients like Omega 3 (DHA) and extracts such as Ginkgo biloba require continuous daily use, as their benefits on neurotransmission and blood flow consolidate over the medium to long term.
