Meet nootropics—aka "smart drugs." Think Tony Stark's genius-level focus or Elon Musk's relentless innovation. Let's dive into whether these brain boosters actually work or if they’re more hype than science.

Smart Drugs or Sci-Fi?

You've probably already taken a nootropic—caffeine! But the more advanced ones, like Modafinil, help you stay alert and focused for hours. Fun fact: Modafinil is even used by the military to keep soldiers awake on missions

Top Players: From Caffeine to Modafinil
