Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a Nootropic?
A nootropic is a substance that enhances the brain’s cognitive function, i.e., helps it to perform better. Different nootropics can help the brain in different ways; Noobru™ is a carefully calculated synergistic blend of nootropics that act in various ways on various systems to provide optimal cognitive enhancement for you.
-
Is Noobru™ considered cheating when used to gain an edge in sports, exams, or similar?
We know of no sporting or academic institution that has forbidden the use of our ingredients to improve performance. Specifically, none of the ingredients in Noobru™ are on the WADA banned substance list, and we are currently seeking official certification of this.
-
Will I become dependent on Noobru™?
While you may get used to the great feeling and clear mind that Noobru™ helps you achieve by supporting your brain’s best health, Noobru™ has no addictive ingredients.
-
Does Noobru™ contain milk / gelatine / fish / shellfish / gluten / etc?
Noobru™ contains no animal ingredients or common allergens. For a full ingredients list, see here.
-
Is Noobru™ suitable for children?
While there is no evidence to suggest that Noobru™ could be harmful to anyone of any age, we cannot legally recommend that children take Noobru™ at this time.
-
Is it possible to overdose on Noobru™?
Not easily. One can overdose on anything, but Noobru™ is many times safer than the leading brands of energy drink or vitamin drink.
-
Is Noobru™ safe for regular/long-term use?
Yes, Noobru™ is safe for continued use—in fact, it is designed for such. In clinical studies, many of the ingredients in Noobru™ even showed additional benefits when taken over prolonged periods.
-
Why is a month’s supply of Noobru™ 20 sachets, not 30?
Noobru™ contains a synergistic blend of 11 potent nootropics, and some of them will cause your body to adapt to them if you take them continuously without a break. In order to keep getting the maximum benefit, it is recommended to take Noobru™ 5 days on, 2 days off. As (unlike, for example, coffee or most energy drinks) Noobru™ does not contain any ingredients that cause dependency, it’s also not a problem if you take it every day, and many of the ingredients will continue working just the same—but we do recommend taking two days off per week for the very best results.
-
Is the drink safe?
Safety is the most important factor that was at the forefront when creating Noobru. The formula was developed with Medical Doctors, Nootropic Experts and with considerable research into clinical trials and medical guidance available. There are no common adverse side-effects, and no statistically significant risks. If you have any uncommon health issues, you may wish to consult your doctor before use.
-
How do I know this works?
Each of the ingredients in Noobru™ has undergone rigorous clinical trials with real humans. There are literally thousands of scientific studies for every ingredient we use.
-
Are there any adverse side-effects?
There are no common adverse side-effects. However, in the unlikely event that you experience ill effects, consult your doctor.
-
How long does it take to work and how long do its benefits last?
Noobru™ contains a synergistic blend of 11 potent nootropics, and some of them will produce immediate effects, although many of these will not be noticeable (for example, you probably have no conscious awareness of how your glycogenolysis is doing, or what your brain’s acetylcholine levels are like). Other ingredients have a more slow-change effect, as they gradually help your brain to function better in a cumulative fashion over time. That said, the first effect you should notice is immediate refreshment—it's a very enjoyable drink!
-
Why is this better than something with caffeine, such as an energy shot?
Noobru™ contains a synergistic blend of 11 potent nootropics that promote and support healthy brain function, both immediately and in a cumulative fashion over time. We’re not here to demonize caffeine—indeed, Noobru™ pairs well with caffeine physiologically, so if you do take caffeine too you can enjoy some extra benefits—but caffeine is not for everyone, and also it can only do so much. Remember, caffeine works mostly by masking your drowsy feelings (it blocks adenosine from binding with its receptors, so effectively your brain has a harder time of telling itself you’re tired), while Noobru™ works by actively nourishing your brain and elevating levels of the neurotransmitter chemicals that are needed for a feeling of relaxed, happy alertness.
-
Can I take it with energy drinks / caffeine?
As it has its own delicious taste, we recommend taking Noobru™ with water, however there’s no contraindication, so there’s no harm in for example drinking a coffee before or after your Noobru™. In fact, one of the ingredients of Noobru™ (L-Theanine) works synergistically with caffeine. Obviously, always enjoy your drinks in moderation.
-
Is it okay to drink alcohol while taking Noobru™?
There is nothing in Noobru™ that reacts adversely with alcohol, so it’s not contraindicated as such. However, while Noobru™ is tailored to help your brain function at its best, alcohol really isn’t, and will have the same deleterious effects that it would without Noobru™.
-
What are the best times to take Noobru™?
As Noobru™ is not a stimulant, there is no “wrong” time of day to take it. There are some factors to consider, though:
- Noobru™ promotes healthy levels of serotonin, which helps give you a feeling of relaxed wakefulness. To this end, morning may be better than evening.
- Noobru™ helps you to get the most benefit from the food that you eat, so taking it around breakfast time can maximise your benefit. -
How much can I drink in a day?
Most Noobru™ users take one sachet per day, five days per week. While there isn’t a meaningful risk of overdose (you’d have to drink so much that you’d be sick from overhydration long before you’d be sick from the ingredients), we already optimized the dose for the day in each sachet, meaning that taking more than the recommended dose won’t generally give extra nootropic effects.
-
Will it alter my mood/emotions?
In broad terms, Noobru™ is likely to help you enjoy a happy relaxed alertness. There are ingredients to lift the user’s mood, decrease anxiety, and fight fatigue. It’s not intended to cure or treat any illness, however; it simply works with your brain to optimise these factors (amongst others) where possible. If in doubt, consult your doctor.
