Due to its wide ranging uses, nefiracetamis considered to be a second
generation racetam. Due to its far ranging effects and possible uses,
like pramiracetam it has become a popular supplement for sufferers of
Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
The technical term for smart drugs is nootropics, which are a group of
health supplements which are purported to increase cognitive ability,
intelligence, memory, and general brain function.
As an analogue to piracetam, it is considered that nefiracetam is
virtually non-toxic, non addictive, has very few side effects, and
enhances verbal memory. Nonetheless, unlike piracetam there have been
fewer clinical trials and research into the affects of nefiracetam,
however it is widely considered to be considerably more potent than
piracetam, and users of nefiracetam generally report that it improves
memory, alertness, and cognitive function.
Several studies have shown that unlike the first generation of racetams
(piracetam, oxiracetam, and aniracetam), nefiracetam also has a positive
effect on mood, and acts as an antidepressent. It also stimulates the
AMPA receptors in the brain. Substances which affect the brains AMPA
receptors are known as Ampakines, and these substances have been shown
to greatly increase attention span, learning ability, altertness, and
general cognitive functions.
As with all of our racetams, nefiracetam is very popular among students,
sufferers of Alzheimer's and dementia, those recovering from
alcoholism, and life extension enthusiasts.
As with most all racetams, nefiracetam should be taken with a choline
source such as choline bitartrate. It is also often ‘stacked’ with other
racetams as well as with supplements such as GABA, and L-Tyrosine, and
L-Phenylananine.
