Description
A natural water soluble derivative of the neurotransmitter (brain chemical that relays certain types of messages) GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid). It is considered the original nootropic (cognitive enhancer and brain protector) and remains the most popular cognitive enhancer for general use. It is a solid foundation for any cognitive enhancement regimen due to the broad range of positive clinically proven biochemical effects on brain function as well as cardiovascular health. It can be used by people of all age ranges and has been studied longer and far more in-depth than most dietary supplements.*
Active Ingredients; Piracetam. Other Ingredients; maltodextrin, cellulose, gelatin capsule.
Cognitive Effects
Enhances brain metabolism (By increasing glucose utilization, blood & oxygen flow) [Boosts mental energy & cerebral circulation].
Increases cerebral phospholipids & cellular membrane fluidity [Supports healthy neuron communication & structure].
Supports cognitive receptors [Strengthens neurotransmitter receptors involved in memory and neuro-protection].
Stimulates the Corpus Callosum, an area of the brain that controls communication between the left and right hemispheres (Increases communication between both hemispheres) [Involved in speech and creative thinking].
Stimulates the Locus Coeruleus, (specialized neurons) [Involved in information processing, attention, cortical/behavioral arousal, learning and memory]
Inhibits platelet aggregation [Supports healthy blood flow].
Decreases EEG complexity (Increases cooperatively of brain functional processing) [Positively effects neuro-electrical functioning].
Has a significant antioxidant effect.
Dosage
The standard lower dose is 800 mg taken 2-3 times a day. For advance usage take 6-12 capsules daily or as needed divided in 2-3 doses. For long term usage it may be best to take weekend breaks.
Synergism
Effects can be enhanced by several different types of Nootropics. Acetylcholine precursors such as Alpha GPC are widely reported to be of benefit.
