Pharmacology & biology
Nootropic
Also known as: cognitive enhancer · smart drug
A substance claimed to improve cognition; among peptides, selank and semax are the most commonly discussed.
In plain terms
The term is marketing more than pharmacology — there is no regulatory or scientific definition that a compound must meet. For peptide nootropics specifically, most human data comes from Russian clinical literature that is difficult to appraise from outside.
