What's Pramiracetam?
Ever since the discovery of the racetams in the 1970's, the racetam family of compounds has been a compelling route for people trying to improve general cognition, memory, and learning capabilities.
In the world of nootropics, the racetams are the go-to nootropics for boosting brain power. While there is some variety of racetam forms, and not all racetams are as well understood as the parent compound, one of the more widely known and studied is Pramiracetam.
Pramiracetam (N-[2-(dipropan-2-ylamino)ethyl]-2- (2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)acetamide) is a GABA-like compound derived from the original racetam. The chemical difference between the two is that Pramiracetam has a dipropan-2-ylaminoethyl group rather than an amide.
Pramiracetam is remarkable for high oral-bioavailability and high potency. For this reason, users take Pramiracetam in smaller doses than it's prototype.
This more potent racetam is sometimes taken as an alternative to weaker racetams for people who don't feel they give them the sense of well-being that they are after or people who don't want to take as much powder as less potent racetams can require.
Pramiracetam Side Effects and Benefits
As with other racetams, the direct mechanism of Pramiracetam is not fully known. It has been conjectured that racetams increase acetylcholine receptors, or are antioxidants, but more study is required. There is also speculation that racetams interact heavily with glutamate receptors, but, again, the action is unclear.
Pramiracetam most likely works by increasing cholinergic neuronal impulse flow in specific regions of the brain based on certain in vitro observations.
While the mechanisms are not clearly understood, the outcomes of the racetams have been looked into extensively. Since their first debut in the early 1970's, a lot of interest has been put into the many racetams.
Advantageous Pramiracetam side effects include improved memory and reduced delayed verbal recall. There is also some evidence to suggest that Pramiracetam is superior to the original racetam in helping with memory retrieval and orientation.
Pramiracetam has also shown to improve some test scores on cognitive ability up to three hours after being taken. It remains a highly popular nootropic and an inexpensive way to optimize mental performance.
Pramiracetam Dosage
Users typically take Pramiracetam powder in doses around 250 mg a few times a day with meals. As with most racetams, many people take a choline source along with it. Some say taking choline along with the proper Pramiracetam dosage can improve the overall experience.
