Description
Aniracetam is a potent, fast-acting nootropic that may enhance cognition and improve mood. Aniracetam is part of the racetam family of nootropics, a group of synthetic compounds similar in both chemical structure and mechanisms of action. Like other racetams, aniracetam works primarily by modulating the production and release of neurotransmitters and other brain chemicals.
Aniracetam is a fat-soluble compound that is metabolized in the liver and quickly absorbed and transported throughout the body. It is known to cross the blood-brain barrier very quickly, and users frequently report feeling its effects in as little as 30 minutes. Aniracetam upregulates the production of several crucial neurotransmitters in the brain, all of which are associated with mood, memory, and cognition.
Dosage:
While individual requirements vary, a daily dosage of 750–1500 mg is typically accepted as both safe and effective, though doses of up to 3000 mg daily have been documented as well-tolerated.
How to use:
One human study involving individuals with senile cognitive disorders reported benefits over placebo at 1500 mg/day. It is always recommended to start with the minimum effective dose and gradually increase as necessary.
Like most nootropics in the racetam family, the effects of aniracetam may diminish with excessive dosages. Because of its relatively brief half-life of one to three hours, dosage may have to be repeated at intervals to maintain effects.
