Introduction

Nootropics, smart drugs, cognitive enhancers – whatever you want to call them – are great tools for improving your brain power. Whether you want a better memory, more focus, or a clearer head, there are dozens of nootropics that can help you to achieve more than you expected was possible.

Make no mistake, there is no magic pill, but there are some great smart drugs that will assuredly improve your ability to work harder, longer, and better.

In this particular guide, we will focus on a family of nootropics called “racetams” and piracetam in particular.

Piracetam was synthesized in the late 1960s, but it was not until the early 1970s that it was used for the purpose of improving brain health.

Over the past few decades, piracetam has quickly grown in popularity as a way of treating memory related disorders in elderly.

The nootropics community has found even more uses for piracetam through experimentation and millions of health enthusiasts use the drug to improve their cognitive function.

Nonetheless, the pursuit of an advantage over one's opponent can lead to unsafe behavior and that is what this guide is about.

The 3 Reasons You Shouldn't Use Piracetam has less to do with the drug and more to do with the methods and mindset that you or I might have when using it.

I sincerely hope it helps you to make good decisions for your brain and body. Please email me with any questions you have.

Reason #1 – Willingness to research

The number one reason you should not user piracetam is if you are unwilling to do the research to learn about the drug, where to buy it safely, and how to use it.

Piracetam, just like any nootropic, can be powerful and it requires you spend at least a few minutes doing research to get the safest results. So, here are the 3 research steps you must look at:

1. Research the nootropic compound2. Research how to buy it safely3. Research how to properly use it

Research the Nootropic Compound

The first type of research is on the nootropic compound itself.In this case, piracetam is relatively popular and can be found on a number of different resources.

Half of the research should be dedicated to finding out information about the scientific studies that have been done on this compound.

For instance, one good resource is to use Examine.com in order to look at a specific compound.

On Examine, use the side table of contents to find “Scientific

Research” and click the link. You will be taken to a broader table of contents where you can choose from options such as “memory and cognition” or “neuroprotection” depending on what you would like to know.

Another option is to choose Smarter Nootropics.com, which has an easier to read breakdown of piracetam and other popular nootropics.

The other aspect of researching a compound is looking at the experiences and reviews from other people.

This can be done by going on the Reddit nootropics community or visiting forums like Longecity. Here are some basic experiences from people who have used piracetam:

“Suddenly I can talk, think normally, articulate what I wanted to say and also can react quicker to what other people say... inspeech I would be more creative. Having ADHD I am naturally quite creative but could never harness it. With piracetam I could.” - drmassien (Reddit post)

“I've been taking piracetam...for roughly 1 week now and have noticed a significant increase in my ability to relate to others.” - TheChildishOne (Reddit post)

So now you have research on the nootropic from 2 angles. One is focused on the science of piracetam, the other is based on the experiences from others. This helps you get a more well-rounded understanding if piracetam might be good for you.

Researching How to Buy Piracetam Safely

There are a few features to look for in nootropic products youprepare to purchase. The number one thing beyond all others is third party, independent testing of the product.

Independent third party testing is important with piracetam because even though it is a legal substance, it is not regulated by the FDA.

This means that if you are on a vendor website, such as Pure Nootropics, it makes sense that you look for certificates of approval to see whether they have checked if it is a good

quality product.

If you can find a vendor that has third party testing for both the assay (to determine what percentage is piracetam) and the heavy metals (to make sure you don't take something unhealthy) then you are in the safest spot to buy.

After you have confirmation of third party testing, search for reviews on the website to see what other customers are sayingabout their particular product.

Another thing you should research is whether the brand is reputable or not. Using the Reddit, you can see what the community considers to be safe. For example, they write “Pure Nootropics started testing their products from the start

to ensure safety...”

Researching How to Properly Use Piracetam

Another aspect of research is learning how to use piracetam safely and effectively. This can be done in a couple of different ways.

First, check the Reddit nootropics F.A.Q. to learn informationabout dosage recommendations. For piracetam, the suggested dosage is the following:

1600 mg – 6400 mg per day divided equally throughout the day in 1 – 3 doses.

Starting point: 1600 mg three times per day

If you look carefully at the F.A.Q. You will also find a question “how much choline should I supplement if I'm taking a racetam?”

Their suggestion is:

0 – 900 mg Alpha GPC per day Starting point: 300 mg

0 – 750 mg CDP choline (citicoline) per dayStarting point: 250 mg

These are the best two choline sources and they are combinedin the Optimal Choline Complex.

Reason #2 – Patience with piracetam

The second reason you shouldn't use piracetam is if you are a person who does not have patience or cannot try piracetam without significant effects in the short term.

Unlike caffeine, piracetam is a smart drug that helps to improve memory and learning ability first and foremost. For these traits to become obvious, you must have some time!

Some people recommend waiting for a couple of weeks before making a decision about piracetam. Also, if you have patience and willingness to test, you can use higher doses until you find something that works for you.

Many people who have patience find the proper dosage for their body type and then they are far more successful with using piracetam as a cognitive enhancer.

One method to have more patience with piracetam is to order a more stimulating nootropic to go along with it in a “nootropic stack”. By adding aniracetam or phenylpiracetam to piracetam, you can feel something stimulating, but also have long term advantages.

Another method that you should use in order to have more flexibility with piracetam is to use choline. Studies suggest that using piracetam and choline together is exponentially more effective than either of the two by themselves.

The Optimal Choline Complex is a perfect match of high quality choline sources so that you can see a real difference inyour memory and learning ability quicker and over the courseof a couple of weeks.

For people who have patience with piracetam, the results are always much better. There are some drugs that are stimulatingand help to focus immediately, but piracetam is not like this. It requires some patience and investment of time for some people.

There are other people who instantly see the benefit of using piracetam and have a clearer mind with more motivation.

Reason #3 – Addictive personalities

Piracetam is not like alcohol or cocaine where it is possible toget addicted to the substance itself.

However, it is so powerful and useful for improving cognitivefunction that some people get addicted to the feeling of having greater memory and mental abilities.

While most people will not have to worry about this, piracetam is such a great nootropic that some people with addictive personalities should consider whether they can handle the drug.

Piracetam has many social effects that help people who struggle with anxiety. In many situations, people feel a lot more comfortable with piracetam, which can make it addictive to certain individuals.

If you do not have an addictive personality or do not think that you have to worry about this, then this is not a reason youhave to worry about.

Conclusion

If you don't have a problem with any of the 3 reasons we suggested, then piracetam might be a great nootropic drug for you.

It is a great memory and learning enhancer, but it also has stimulating and anti-anxiety effects for many people. Put some time into researching piracetam, make sure you are willing to have patience, and avoid addictive behaviors.

With these 3 things, you'll be able to enjoy piracetam more, buy it safely, and ensure your long term success in professional or educational endeavors.

Pure Nootropics used this information to provide high quality piracetam powder and capsules that have been used by over 3000 customers.

We hope you also benefit from using this great nootropic.
