Nefiracetam to enhance cognitive abilities

Unlike, for example, modafinil, which was developed to help people suffering from narcolepsy and other sleep disorders, where cognitive function is not so important.

Nefiracetam belongs to the racetam family and shows similarities to aniracetam. It affects both GABA receptors and choline receptors. Its long-term use has both neuroprotective and nootropic effects, as shown in animal studies.

CAUTION: Nefiracetam can cause serious kidney problems. People with any kidney problems should not use nefiracetam!

Nefiracetam does not have its full effect from the first dose, like PRL-8-53 or phenylpiracetam. It should be taken for at least a few days if you want to improve your cognitive function and memory. It is assumed that the minimum period of taking the drug is 7 days. Only after this time does its effect reach its full potential.

This has been proven in animal studies, as well as in some human studies. However, human studies are few, as with most synthetic nootropic agents.

Long-term use of nefiracetam is associated with higher levels of neurogenesis, which affects learning and the amount of information absorbed. Additionally, this means that nefiracetam can treat or reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegradative diseases.

Benefits of using nefiracetam:

• Neuroprotection: Nefiracetam helps control NMDA receptor signaling, which protects against excessive levels of glutamate. Glutamate is a potent excitatory neurotransmitter. Too much glutamate damages neurons in the brain;
• Neurotransmission: Nefiracetam modulates GABA levels in the brain. It decreases GABA when it is too high and increases GABA when it is too low. This results in increased focus and reduced anxiety. Nefiracetam prolongs the opening of calcium channels. This maintains neurotransmitter activity longer. This improves learning and recall (better memory);
• Acetylcholine: Nefiracetam enhances nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It increases the release of GABA and glutamate. This causes sedation while improving neuroplasticity and enhancing learning and better memory.
