The Brain Supplement

Piracetam is a popular brain supplement that has been found to improve memory and certain levels of IQ.

Piracetam is in the Racetam Family and is known for its ability to protect overall brain health.

Even though this supplement has been around since 1964, it is only now beginning to gain recognition among the general public as interest in using supplements to increase brain power grows.

 

How does it work?

Piracetam boosts cognitive function through the brain’s neurotransmitters and receptors. Piracetam powder can also increase oxygen and blood flow in key areas of the brain. Piracetam doesn’t affect the brain like a stimulant or a sedative does, but anecdotal evidence suggests that it can bring about mild cognitive improvements in otherwise healthy people.

Due to its reported positive effects on cognition and other mental processes, it is often referred to as cognitive enhancer or smart drug.


Instructions

While this will mainly depend on your purpose for using it, the generally accepted rule of thumb is 800mg - 2,000 mg, two or three times a day.

Some people take anywhere from 800mg to 4.8 grams per day with better results seen among individuals using at least 4 grams daily.

The reason for the multiple dosings is two-fold. Piracetam has a relatively short half-life, so this will ensure a more or less consistent supply within the bloodstream. Piracetam is absorbed more effectively when taking several smaller doses rather than just a single large dose.
