Nootropics are supplements that are mainly used to help with cognition enhancement, increasing memory and even sometimes repairing damage. The damage can come from either aging and also from neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease. A great side effect of these smart drugs is that it can also have a positive effect on your mood. Anxiolytic supplements like these have had great success in helping people with anxiety issues. They help individuals feel more relaxed and can improve their social skills and help eliminate social anxiety. There are many nootropics on the market and in this article I will try to outline the best ones for the treatment of anxiety.

This is exactly why there are many sedatives rely on stimulating these GABA receptor sites. Surprisingly enough, alcohol is actually known as a GABA stimulant. However, as alcohol has so many bad side effects it could not be thought of as a nootropic supplement. There are however, an array of suitable GABA stimulating nootropics that have the benefits of calming that you would be looking for in order to control the feeling of anxiety.

The one issue that you would need to keep in mind however, is that the GABA supplements are not able to cross the blood to brain barrier. This renders them no good for reducing anxiety. What you would need is a nootropic that is precursor to GABA and is capable of crossing the blood to brain barrier. There are many supplements that can penetrate through from the blood stream into the brain tissue where this process occurs. Some of these nootropics are widely available for purchase while others need a prescription from your health

    I would not have expected for research to be more on adults than children because when I think of anxiety, I see a child afraid of the dentist or going to day care for the first day. One question that I have is if researchers ever considered flooding the client with anxiety as a treatment before medication such as the serotonergic function which can mediate fear? My rationale for asking this is because flooding has been used for decades to mediate anxiety and the most fascinating part about it is that most clients report loss of anxiety or reduced amount of anxiety after only one or two

When looking into nutritional supplements I saw how it explained that each person’s metabolism and body works differently, I suffer from Crohns disease and I felt as if nutrition was a huge factor with how my anxiety affected me. Sometimes my body doesn’t take in all the proper nutrients through food when eating opposed to when someone who doesn’t have Crohns eats. When I saw that something as simple as taking different B-vitamins and probiotics could actually help manage my anxiety it appealed to me because maybe a huge trigger to my anxiety was my Crohns and the way my body takes in nutrients taking a multi-vitamin and probiotics could help with that and maybe that is one of the triggers to my
