Adrafinil Powder & Capsules
Benefits of Adrafinil
Adrafinil is a precursor to modafinil, meaning the body converts adrafinil to modafinil, and are often discussed together for this reason. Adrafinil is a mild stimulant designed to fight off sleepiness and fatigue.
Many of the studies that include adrafinil are related to military performance when it really matters and times are stressful. The main benefit of adrafinil is as a prodrug for modafinil, which is far more well-researched and understood. There are numerous studies showing how adrafinil can help to improve cognition, wakefulness and reduce fatigue in a way that is similar to amphetamine based drugs like Adderall.
One study showed that the drug could help reduce cognitive decline and enhance performance in a cohort of military personnel who had 64 hours of work without any sleep. In these sleep deprived states, it is obvious that adrafinil is as effective as some of the most prescribed drugs.
The studies also show that adrafinil (once converted to modafinil) is without the same euphoria and addiction potential that comes with a drug like Adderall. This is obviously a whole lot safer than using these kind of amphetamine based drugs.
Adrafinil is banned by the world doping association.
Side Effects of Adrafinil
Adrafinil is metabolized in the liver and has been shown to increase liver enzymes, it is often taken with milk thistle to counteract this effect. Adrafinil should not be taken by anyone with liver problems or concerns. Additionally, women taking an oral contraceptive may want to avoid adrafinil, as it can reduce the efficacy of some types of contraceptives. Adrafinil can raise blood pressure and should not be used by anyone with heart problems.
Other side effects are rare, but some people complain of anxiety, irritability, and changes to mood. People often become more focused on their work, which can come across as reserved or moody even though it is not. Just keep this in mind if you are planning to use adrafinil and try not to use it daily. There are tolerance issues that you’ll want to avoid to maintain the efficacy of the drug.
Adrafinil Dosage
Adrafinil should be taken in 300 mg per day doses. The drug is less strong than modafinil and thus must be used in higher doses. With a lower dose, you will feel less stimulation, but it is useful when first starting out. Over time you can increase your dosage of adrafinil for the optimal effects specific to you.
Mechanism of Action- How does Adrafinil work?
The main mechanism of action for adrafinil is as a prodrug for modafinil. Taking adrafinil gets converted in the liver into modafinil, which has the main psychoactive effects on the brain. Specifically, R-modafinil is the cause of the stimulation and enhanced concentration that often comes from using the drug. Modafinil causes downstream effects, such as increasing dopamine and adrenaline, which have an impact on your concentration and focus (among other things).

I have found Adrafinil to be an excellent mental energizer and my first order here has proven to be delightful as the quality seems to be equivalent to the original Olmifon that one used to be able to buy online from Europe before the French company discontinued the product. Adrafinil provides a good level of focus and mental energy for me without jitters that lots of caffeine cause. I have to take it early because taking it mid-day guarantees no sleep that night.

Personally it did not work for me. I experienced no effects.

Adrafinil works like a charm: focus to get work done, especially uninteresting grunt work. Seems to help focus without distraction on what you need to get done.
And Pure Nootropics’ speedy fulfillment and delivery (next day during the holidays!!) is greatly appreciated.
I will be a repeat customer for sure.

Love adrafinil! It’s kept me awake all day on 300mg. I find it’s better to take half a pill in the morning and half in the evening. My focus has been very good as well. prompt shipping. I’m currently stacking with Noopept, Choline bitartate, sulbutiamine, lions mane, artichoke/fhorskolin and Nalt. Having awesome results.

From prior experience, I knew how well adrafinil works to energize the brain and help with being
alert and productive. This adrafinil seems as pure and effective as any I’ve used. For me, it works best if I don’t use it every day and alternate with caffeine/theanine on the days I want to be more energized. Oxiracetam has also been helpful for a cognitive boost. Adrafinil works best(for me)if taken first thing in the AM. I suggest that any who have found it ineffective try taking it before eating anything, to see if it makes a difference. Of course, people can be different in their response to many things, and some may simply not react to Adrafinil the way most do.

I take modafanil as well, felt similar like effects from the Adrafanil and added choline GPC. Only issue I have noticed is the toll it takes on your liver which is expected cause it metabolizes in the liver

It helps me stay awake throughout the day. I have to take almost 4 times the recommended dose 2-3 times per day. Not due the products quality but rather due to surgery and my bodies ability to absorb normally. I have tried many different vendors products and I have found that the price and quality is the best. I am happy to have found a good product that allows me to not fall asleep during the day so that I can continue working and enjoying life. Thank you

Shipping was great! Got my adrafinil quickly. I was very sceptical at first, and I read SEVERAL reviews. Eventually, I said ‘why not’ and decided to take the plunge with Pure Nootropics. I was still a little leery, but then I got a confirmation email to track my package. The actual product itself has really helped me stay awake during the day. I only wanted to continue my habit of an afternoon nap but honestly, I didn’t need it. I can also give a testimony of the focus/work factor because I did not intend to write this much. Haha

Great. I’ve taken Adrafinil and Modafinil for a long time — my last dose (from a different supplier) was like half strength and weak… so it was good to feel things palpably come back to normal with Pure
James (verified owner) –
The first 2 days taking this made me feel nauseous, after that it’s worked great! Really give you a full day of energy and motivation. I’ll definitely be ordering more when my 30 pills are gone.

This product does help fight fatigue but hasn’t improved my memory much, which is why I’ve given it 4 stars. I’ve also noticed that after about 6 hours I will have to take a second dose.
I will continue to take this because of that one reason. My only wish is that I could purchase these in 120 capsules or more instead of just what is offered.
At first I bought the smaller bottle then I went back and bought the bigger bottle because I saved a little money.
I would be much happier to get an even bigger bottle if it offered just a tiny bit of a price difference like what is already offered.
I like this company though so I will probably continue purchasing even if I found them at a lower cost elsewhere. Unless of course I could get a substantial supply that was as cleanly manufactured such as these!

Start off minimal dosage. Take right away in morning. Even then plan on staying up for awhile. Alot of energy but no jitters. If you plan or need to stay up take this.

Adrafinil is really working for me. I work in a demanding hospital setting with 12 hour shifts. Needless to say it can be overwhelming and tiring at times. I’ve been taking Adrafinil stacked with Aniracetam and Choline for the past week and a half about twice a week. I’ve noticed a real improvement in my alertness and ability to deal with pressure gracefully. I’m pretty new to the whole nootropics game and I’ll probably start cycling Adrafinil with something else as I don’t really want to take it everyday. It does purportedly put some strain on your liver . It is also possible to build a tolerance to the substance. Pure Nootropics is a great company. I’ve been very satisfied.

Perfect for what i wanted thank you

This is a huge help for me. It provides me with alertness/attention I was never able to get before. I’ve even been put on prescription stimulants that made me crawl out of my skin. This included with a full nootropic stack has really allowed me to leverage my time, capacity, and abilities more than ever. (Note: I’m no Dr or specialist, this is just my personal opinion and experience.) I have been diagnosed with all types of disorders throughout my life that I believe were ultimately stemmed from my inability to focus and leverage my mental capacity. I have taken every pill a Dr could come up with. Since managing cycles with the stack components, I haven’t had any of my usual symptoms.

This is my second order! I’ve tried other non-prescription nootropics – this is the first one that actually worked for me. I’ve found that I have more focus during the day, I no longer get tired at 4:00 in the afternoon and can keep working until 10, 11 or 12pm at night. As an entrepreneur – this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Solid energy throughout the day. The only warning is if I take it too late in the day, I have problems sleeping.

I have tried multiple other companies’ adrafinil and they don’t even come close to this one. The other ones I tried did not really have an effect on my focus and alertness levels and my urine did not have that smell (a distinct smell to your urine means it is the real compound). I’m a full time science student with a full time job and I have been on adhd medications and this is just SO much better, in so many ways and I don’t get a crash. It also hasn’t affected my sleeping cycle, like the medications did. Also, their customer service is top notch. I’m a repeat customer and will continue to be a repeat customer because their product is authentic and their service is so great.

I just ordered adrafinil for the first time, I have been taking it for a few days off and on- As far as energy the jury is still out, but focus is key with this product- I wish it supplied more energy a little caffeine helps! Thank you for fast service I am happy!

I don’t feel very much awake and aware as advertised but I did notice some effects like a mild wakefulness. I think it needs some time to build up for my body to better process it. Good product though.
