Piracetam Chemical Properties
Piracetam is an AMPAkine which means it modulates the AMPA receptors in the hippocampus (the part of the brain associated with learning and memory). AMPA receptors interact with the glutamate neurotransmitters in the brain and lengthen the amount of time the synaptic channel is open between communicating neurons. The ability of the glutamate neurotransmitters to transmit and communicate between the synapses of neurons is then enhanced. This long-term potentiation of synaptic communication is a helpful mechanism for enhanced learning and memory (3)*.
Piracetam’s molecular formula is C6H10N2O2 and it has a molecular mass of 142.158 g/mol (1).
It is also known as UCB 6215 and the CAS Number is 7491-74-9 (1).
The oral bioavailability is near 100% for capsules, tablets, and solution. Peak plasma levels are achieved 1.5 hours after administration. Piracetam has a plasma half-life of 5 hours (2).

Piracetam Toxicity
In preclinical safety data, Piracetam in single doses for mice reached LD 50 levels at 26 g/kg. In rats, LD 50 levels were not reached. In dogs, the lethal dose was not observed at the highest tested dose of 10g/kg. Some mild clinical signs were noted at this maximum tested dose in dogs.
Consecutive oral administration up to 1 year in dogs (at a dose of 10g/kg) and for 6 months in rats (at a dose of 2g/kg) resulted in no organ toxicity/no signs of irreversible toxicity were found (2).

The service here was great. The piracetam powder was just as advertised. I take 4.8grams three times a day and It works very nice with my modafinil. I take 200 mg of modafinil upon waking and then 100 mg of modafinil in the afternoon. I have irritability issues with choline. I have tried multiple different types and it always causes me irritability. I also take krill oil, magnesium, a multi-vitamin and vitamin D as my blood work shows this as being low.
Taking the piracetam with the modafinil really works well together. With modafinil I was alert and not tired but when I added the piracetam my add was drastically reduced and I was a lot more creative. I noticed subtle changes in colors and music and my mood has been great. I also take 2 to three days a week off the modafinil.

The service experience was great. I received the package in only a few days. I am still building up the supplement in my system so I’m not really seeing dramatic results as of yet. Stay tuned

Great to get piracetam in capsules, but I need to take so much of this. Great product from PN, but I need to take the more potent oxi / aniracetam

Exceptional service, from NM to MI delivers on the 2nd day not including the day of pickup. Or on Monday, get Wednesday. Very pleased, FREE SHIPPING. Prices are good when compared to other providers that charge shipping. I’ve had 3 orders with them at this point and one with a different company. My opinion is pretty clear at this point. Results are on going but definitely are apparent at present.

The company is great. I can notice the difference in mental clarity with Piracetam capsules. I take them daily with Choline and Inositol.

This was a very interesting product. If you are considering a purchase I’d say go for it, there’s not a problem with purity or quality of this Piracetam. The shipping was prompt and seamless. Overall I have no complaints.
However I think everyone reacts differently to Piracetam, I’m unsure if I experienced the “full effect”, or intended effect I was searching for, but it has enhanced my everyday life. I have a new perspective than I did a few weeks ago. I feel so much more alive and connected to the world around me.
Colors, vision, sound, emotions, others’ emotions, dreams, texture, taste, it’s all so much more clear now. Everything is more vivid. I feel like I haven’t truly lived like this in what has been a long time. I love it.
My experience may or may not be typical .
Thanks!

Certainly wouldn’t say it’s a magic pill that will solve all your problems, but I have had a very glowing experience with piracetam once so far. I’ve taken it 5 times. The other times I got headaches that lasted for 6 or more hours which aspirin did not help with. Any benefit I would have gotten from the piracetam was heavily outweighed by a moderate headache. I just received my order of Optimal Choline Complex, which many think is good to take with piracetam. Avoid taking more than one capsule your first few times to test for headaches. I didn’t get a headache my first time, but I did every other time. If you’re thinking about ordering your first racetam, I would say still give this a try right now. It helped me ace a terribly boring college project, no question about it. This product, no doubt, does have beneficial cognitive effects. I experienced slightly enhanced memory and moderately enhanced focus. Very glad to find something that can provide this that is not a stimulant like coffee. 4/5 stars.
