Nutrition Smart Drugs Nootropics Raw Powder Aniracetam for Boosting Brain What is Aniracetam?
Aniracetam is a popular choice among nootropic users for its ability to enhance
cognition while reducing anxiety and boosting mood. It's also moderately
priced and has little to no reported side effects when taken at
recommended dosages. Aniracetam is chemically classed as a racetam (a
drug that shares a pyrrolidone nucleus), and like most racetams, it
works to a large extent by modulating neurotransmitters. The majority of
people that have taken aniracetam report that its anxiolytic and mood
enhancing effects are notable. Users report an increase in social
confidence and improved verbal fluency. Despite aniracetam being fat
soluble, which often indicates a slower breakdown with lasting effects,
it only has a half-life of 1-3 hours, meaning it effects are short lived
compared to some other nootropics. For this reason, it may be
preferable to dose it 2-3 times a day, as necessary. Aniracetam's
well-documented positive mood and anti-anxiety properties, combined with
powerful cognitive enhancements and a demonstrated lack of side
effects, make it one of the most popular nootropics on the market. While
some users report an initial feeling of mental fogginess, the effect is
usually temporary and within a day or two aniracetam's true nootropic
nature starts to have a noticeable effect. In addition to generally
elevating mood and lessening anxiety, aniracetam can enhance creativity
while improving verbal fluency, comprehension, and memory retention.
Users have reported a distinct feeling of calm and relaxation along with
increased learning capacity, greater social ease and fluency, and
better focus and attention to mental tasks over longer periods. There
are also some reports that visuals may seem enhanced by aniracetam,
appearing deeper and more vivid. While immediate acute benefits are
anecdotally reported, studies involving individuals with senile
cognitive disorders demonstrated significant improvements over placebo
at 4 and 6 months. Aniracetam is fat soluble and is metabolized in the
liver. Though it is fast acting, crossing the blood-brain barrier in as
little as 30 minutes, it has a relatively brief half-life of just one to
three hours so multiple doses over a period of hours may be needed to
maintain effects.
