But when they developed Piracetam, it made animals more alert, not sleepy. Piracetam was first used to treat recovering alcoholics and those who had experienced near-drowning.

Virtually non-toxic: it’s almost impossible to consume enough cause any damage. Neuroprotective: makes brain injuries and toxins less damaging. 2 RISKY SITUATIONS BLOOD THINNERS KIDNEY PROBLEMS Racetams improve the Racetams are eliminated by flexibility of all cells, the kidneys. including platelets, and can prevent clotting. GETTING STARTED WITH RACETAMS Racetams need time to build up in Racetams your body. have a It may take anywhere from a few loading days to a few weeks to experience the full benefits. period Double your dose in the first 2 - 4 weeks of taking a Racetam. You’ll have “reverse tolerance”: You can lower your dose and still After the maintain the same benefits. loading Reverse tolerance applies across different Racetams. So if you started period… with Piracetam, you won’t have to start a new loading period with Oxiracetam, for example. TAKING RACETAMS LIQUID POWDER & CAPSULES The form you choose will affect the initial subjective effects of the Racetams. However, after the loading period, it won’t make a difference. FAT SOLUBLE Many Racetams are lipophilic, which means they are fat soluble. Taking them with a fat source (fish oil capsules, milk, avocado, etc.) helps your body absorb them better. SYNERGIZING YOUR REGIMEN You can enhance the effects of the racetams by combining them with other substances...

Pramiracetam Nefiracetam Phenylpiracetam Noopept (Note: this is not an exhaustive list.) What does this mean? The newest Racetams are not true nootropics and therefore are not necessarily non-toxic. Piracetam has been The newer Racetams have not studied for decades. been exhaustively studied on humans, to the point where the scientists who have developed them say “Humans, don’t take these.” Experiment with them at your own risk. WHICH RACETAM SHOULD I TAKE? HUGE DISCLAIMER: Always check with a medical professional before taking any new drugs. Take Racetams at your own risk. Also, everyone reacts differently, so experiment to find the Racetam that works best for you. General Benefits of the Racetams Enhanced memory Improved Heightened sense of and cognition mental clarity awareness and visual attention PIRACETAM (1964) The original Racetam. BENEFITS Mild, but solid cognitive enhancer. Lowers anxiety and depression. Maintains mitochondria. Mitochondria create energy for cells. If mitochondria get broken, they can start pumping out free radicals, causing oxidation and cell damage. Piracetam helps broken mitochondria hear the cell’s signal to self-destruct and create new, non-broken mitochondria. SHOULD I TAKE IT? If you’re new to racetams. Piracetam has the longest safety record of any Racetam. If you’re on a budget. Piracetam is generally the cheapest Racetam. ANIRACETAM (1970S) 2-5x more potent than Piracetam. BENEFITS Anti-anxiety, calming, relaxing. Enhances creativity and verbal fluency. May promote lucid dreaming. SHOULD I TAKE IT? If you want to decrease anxiety and improve confidence in social situations. If you need a boost of creativity. OXIRACETAM (1977) BENEFITS Stimulating and speedy. Improves focus. Enhances logical thinking. SHOULD I TAKE IT? If you need an energy boost. If you’re going to be doing some math problems or other work requiring logical thinking. PRAMIRACETAM (1978) Up to 30x more potent than Piracetam. BENEFITS Laser sharp focus and concentration. Improves long term memory. SHOULD I TAKE IT? If you’re working on a big project and need to put your head down and get it done. PHENYLPIRACETAM (1983) Stronger than Pramiracetam. BENEFITS Increases tolerance to pain and cold weather. Enhances mood and decreases social anxiety. SHOULD I TAKE IT? If you’re going to Siberia. If you’ve tried all the other racetams and you want to bring out the big guns.

  • Nootropics: Boost Body and Brain? Report #2445
    NOOTROPICS: BOOST BODY AND BRAIN? REPORT #2445 BACKGROUND: Nootropics were first discovered in 1960s, and were used to help people with motion sickness and then later were tested for memory enhancement. In 1971, the nootropic drug piracetam was studied to help improve memory. Romanian doctor Corneliu Giurgea was the one to coin the term for this drug: nootropics. His idea after testing piracetam was to use a Greek combination of “nous” meaning mind and “trepein” meaning to bend. Therefore the meaning is literally to bend the mind. Since then, studies on this drug have been done all around the world. One test in particular studied neuroprotective benefits with Alzheimer’s patients. More tests were done with analogues of piracetam and were equally upbeat. This is a small fraction of nootropic drugs studied over the past decade. Studies were done first on animals and rats and later after results from toxicity reports, on willing humans. (Source: https://www.purenootropics.net/general-nootropics/history-of-nootropics/) A COGNITIVE EDGE: Many decades of tests have convinced some people of how important the drugs can be for people who want an enhancement in life. These neuro-enhancing drugs are being used more and more in the modern world. Nootropics come in many forms and the main one is caffeine. Caffeine reduces physical fatigue by stimulating the body’s metabolism. The molecules can pass through the blood brain barrier to affect the neurotransmitters that play a role in inhibition. These molecule messengers can produce muscle relaxation, stress reduction, and onset of sleep. Caffeine is great for short–term focus and alertness, but piracetam is shown to work for long-term memory.

  • NOOTROPIL® Piracetam
    NOOTROPIL® Piracetam QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each film-coated tablet contains 800 mg or 1200 mg of piracetam. Each ml of oral solution contains 200 mg of piracetam EXCIPIENTS NOOTROPIL 800 mg and 1200 mg film-coated tablet: Core: Macrogol 6000 - Colloidal anhydrous silica - Magnesium stearate - Sodium croscarmellose Film-coating: Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose - Titanium dioxide (E171) - Macrogol 400 - Macrogol 6000. NOOTROPIL 200 mg/ml oral solution: Glycerol (85%) - Saccharin sodium - Apricot flavour - Caramel flavour - Methyl parahydroxybenzoate - Propyl parahydroxybenzoate - Sodium acetate - Glacial acetic acid - Purified water. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM NOOTROPIL Tablet 800 and 1200 mg: white, oblong, film-coated tablet, with a bisect line, marked N/N on one side and plain on the other side NOOTROPIL Oral Solution 20%: clear colourless solution INDICATIONS 1. Studies carried out in the elderly suffering from loss of memory, vertigo, a lack of concentration or of alertness, changes of mood, a deterioration in behaviour and personal negligence, demonstrate an improvement in symptoms. These symptoms can also provide an early warning of the onset of pathological ageing such as Alzheimer’s Disease, an Alzheimer type of senile dementia, or the dementia produced by multiple cerebral infarcts. 2. NOOTROPIL is advocated in the treatment of sickle-cell vaso-occlusive crises. 3. Studies have shown some improvement in children with learning difficulties associated with the written word, particularly with textual understanding which cannot be explained by intellectual backwardness, inadequate education or by the family environment. The administration of NOOTROPIL does not replace other measures also well adapted to correct these learning difficulties, such as remedial teaching. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Oral formulations 1 NOOTROPIL should be administered orally, and may be taken with or without food.
