When artichoke extract is taken with forskolin (a cAMP increaser) the combination can yield significant nootropic effects including higher rates of synaptic generation between neurons, improved memory capacity, and increased ability to retain new information.

Additionally, the ingredients L-Phenylalanine and Acetyl-L-Carnitine work together to produce ample levels of L-tyrosine within the liver. Vitamin B-6 then enhances L-tyrosine and is converted in the brain and in the adrenal glands to. By replenishing, dopamine, and epinephrine (adrenaline) hormones in the brain, mental energy levels are enhanced and a feeling of contentment often occurs.
