Noopept – a nootropic that enhances mood

Briefly:

• Noopept enhances choline activity in the brain;
• improves memory, boosts cognitive function;
• helps learning;
• enhances mood, and has an antidepressant effect;
• Noopept improves verbal fluency and interpersonal relations;
• sharpens the senses;
• should be taken with choline supplements, such as Alpha-GPC, CDP-Choline, ALCAR;
• recommended daily doses from 10 mg to 60 mg;
• recommended to be taken with meals.

Noopept (N-Phenylacetyl-L-prolylglycine ethyl ester) improves mood, normalizes sleep, reduces fatigue and lowers anxiety and restlessness. It is a broad-spectrum nootropic drug with a strong and positive effect on our brain and perception of the world. Good for those who want to have a better mood, function better and improve their interactions with people

Noopept is one of the most popular nootropics in the world

Noopept improves memory. Allows you to think more efficiently and quickly and to learn and work more efficiently.

Antidepressant

It is considered by many people to be one of the best antidepressants. In addition, it has almost no side effects.

The antidepressant effect of Noopept

• Improves mood;
• improves memory;
• facilitates and improves contacts with other people;
• reduces or completely eliminates anxiety;
• increases concentration;
• improves the quality of thinking;
• facilitates and accelerates the learning process.

Memory improvement. More effective learning

Many people use Noopept to improve their memory. Human and animal studies support this. A 2009 human study compared the effects of Noopept and Piracetam in adults with mild cognitive impairment. The study found that noopept was not only more effective than Piracetam in treating the symptoms of these disorders, but also had less side effects.

Also, numerous animal studies have shown that noopept improves memory. A 1997 study proved that noopept helped restore learning and memory in rats with part of their brains removed. A 2008 study showed that noopept prevented memory deficits in rats caused by scopolamine and mecamylamine. Another study from 2000 showed that noopept had an anti-amnestic (memory-enhancing) effect in rats with brain damage.

While some memory improvement may already be seen after a single dose, it sometimes takes several weeks of daily use to experience the full effects of noopept on memory improvement.

Reduce anxiety and improve mood

A human study published in 2009 proved that Noopept reduces anxiety in patients with mild cognitive impairment. The study compared Noopept with Piracetam and found that over 56 days it reduced: fatigue, anxiety, irritability and apathy. It also found that Noopept was more effective overall than Piracetam.

In a 2009 study of people with mild cognitive impairment, mood was also assessed during the eight weeks of use in which participants received Noopept or Piracetam. Some participants showed an improvement in mood after the first week of treatment, and others after the third week.

Several animal studies have also shown that Noopept may have antidepressant effects. A 2003 study on rats showed that Noopept reduced levels of learned helplessness and accelerated learning to actively cope. In other words, it reduced depression (mood improvement) in rats. Another 2006 study on rats showed that after noopept was administered for 21 days, learned helplessness was eliminated. These studies confirm that Noopept can have an antidepressant effect.

Dosage and side effects

Noopept is usually taken in doses of 10 to 30 milligrams per day. For many patients, a dose as low as 10 or 20 mg per day is sufficient. However, some say they need as much as 60 mg to notice the nootropic effects of Noopept. However, it’s a good idea to follow the rule of thumb, which is to start dosing with a lower dose, only when that dose doesn’t work or works too poorly do you raise the dose.

Noopept is usually taken in tablet or capsule form. However, it can also be taken sublingually (holding the powder under the tongue until it dissolves completely) and intranasally (snorted into the nose like snuff).

Although some of the benefits of Noopept can be felt after just one dose, it may take a week or a little longer to get its full effects. Noopept can therefore be used both on an ad hoc basis, to improve mood, and on a regular basis, over an extended period, as a regular antidepressant.

Side effects

• Brain fog;
• confusion;
• drowsiness;
• lack of focus;
• anxiety;
• fatigue;
• irritability;
• seizures.

Stacks with other drugs

Noopept is effective when administered by itself, but many people like to combine it with other nootropics. Some of the nootropics with which Noopept is often combined are:

• Alpha-GPC – better memory and concentration;
• Aniracetam – more energy and better mood;
• Phenylpiracetam – better mood and easier learning;
• Flmodafinil – concentration, energy, learning;
• Ashwagandha – improved mood.

Using two or more nootropic agents together can cause the sum of their effects to provide greater benefits than simple addition would suggest. If we use the right substances together, we can significantly improve our performance at work or school. This will give us an advantage over people who don’t use them or who use traditional stimulants such as coffee or health questionable energy drinks.
