Smart Pills is not designed to meet our requirements for vitamins and micronutrients. It is therefore perfectly possible to take other supplements at the same time such as multivitamins and omega-3 fatty acids.

In India, Bacopa monnieri is often combined with Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) to improve memory and learning.

Smart Pills can also be taken alongside other Supersmart supplements available to buy such as Taurine 1000mg, Methylcobalamine 1mg or Ginkgo biloba 60mg.

There are at least four additional factors that will help give your brain an extra boost:

Good quality sleep. Several studies have demonstrated the importance of sleep for memorising new information. Indeed, it’s during the hours of sleep that memory is consolidated. A poor night’s sleep before an important event may thus impair memory as well as alertness and concentration (35).

A vitamin B-rich diet. The B group vitamins, particularly B1, B6, B9 and B12, play a key role in cognitive processes.

Good hydration. Failure to stay well-hydrated (by drinking at least 2 litres of water a day) can impair concentration and alertness.

Regular breaks. Several studies suggest that taking regular breaks boosts efficiency and productivity at work, provided you don’t allow yourself to become distracted or try to multi-task.

Smart Pills has absolutely nothing in common with the potentially dangerous nootropics sometimes used by students, like amphetamines and racetams. It contains natural extracts that have been used for centuries without showing any toxicity, as well as caffeine and taurine (the regular use of which is recognised as safe by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). It is thus completely safe at recommended doses.

This product’s capsules are made of pullulan, a natural polysaccharide obtained by fermenting tapioca or corn. Pullulan contains no animal ingredients and provides an excellent barrier to oxygen, helping to preserve the integrity of the capsule’s ingredients. It is also an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic materials.

This product’s capsules are composed of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant substance derived from cellulose. HPMC is widely used for medicines and dietary supplements. It contains no animal ingredients, is recognised as safe by health authorities and is considered more sustainable than synthetic alternatives.
