Noopept is a popular cognitive-enhancing supplement in the nootropic community. Proposed mechanism of actions based on preclinical studies include increasing acetylcholine signaling, increasing the expression of BDNF and NGF, protecting from glutamate toxicity, and increasing inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain.

Due to its incredible potency, the recommended dosage of Noopept is relatively small, usually 10 to 20 mg taken as often as three times daily. Dosage should not exceed 40 mg in a 24-hour period.
In powder form, Noopept is usually placed under the tongue or mixed with water and drunk. Effects are felt quickly after administration, as fast as within 15 minutes.
Noopept is recommended to take Noopept for 1.5-3 weeks and then, if necessary, to begin another cycle after a 1-month break. Alternatively, many nootropic users follow a cycle of 56 days on and 4 days off.
Noopept as a nootropic is commonly compared to piracetam and aniracetam. It works via a similar mechanism as piracetam but is estimated to be 1,000 to 5,000 times more potent. Its impressive potency doesn’t imply that its effect is more profound; it simply attunes itself better to the brain’s receptors, and as a result, Noopept can be taken in relatively smaller doses to produce similar effects as that of Piracetam.
For all the positive effects that Noopept may have on your cognitive health, it has only a few occasionally reported minor side effects that should be noted such as headaches, restlessness, dizziness, and irritability. These are most common when Noopept is taken in high doses.
Further evidence also suggests that Noopept can enhance the effects of stimulants such as amphetamines, so caution is advised.
