Reply To: Nootropics: Yes, No, Maybe and Why (or Why not)?

WIY: Some of the supplements like Ginko Biloba, Ginseng, Omegas, etc. have some research and experience behind them. For instance, Ginseng is contraindicated for people on Coumadin (I think because it has blood thinning properties). And that is aside from the fact that some of those have been used for long enough to establish their safety. Other drugs, like those certain drugs used for dementia have very low toxicity- at least in the short term.

Either way though, that wasn’t my point. My question was if there was a supplement that was proven safe and effective one day, what might be the right hashkafa towards it?
