Piracetam: The First Smart Drug

These days it seems like there are drugs available for anything. There's antidepressant drugs, heart disease drugs, arthritis drugs, and drugs for most anything else you can think of. What if there were a smart drug, a drug that could make you smarter? If there were no bad side effects, would you take it? Surprisingly, that drug has been around for over thirty years and is available without a prescription. The first and still most popular smart drug is called Piracetam.

Scientists have performed thousands of clinical studies on Piracetam, and have found it to be one of the safest drugs ever made. They have also proved that it deserves its status as a smart drug. A regular dose of Piracetam improves cognition in a number of ways, including enhancing sensory perception, improving memory, increasing verbosity, and developing creativity.

Piracetam works by affecting the acetylcholinergic system in the brain. Acetylcholine is the most common neurotransmitter in the brain, and it regulates the transmission of nerve impulses in the brain. This means that it is basically the medium through which different cells in your brain communicate with each other. Piracetam enhances the effect of acetylcholine, which makes all of the signals that operate your brain faster.

When you start taking Piracetam, you won't notice much in the first few days. Then you'll start to realize that you notice more detail everywhere you look, and that sounds sound better. Many people report being able to isolate and identify the sound of each individual instrument when listening to complicated musical works.

Before long you'll notice that when you speak the words come more easily. You'll also notice that you're expressing more complicated thoughts when you speak, in a more natural way. Part of having your brain running at maximum capacity controls your speech, and makes it work better all the way around.

Regular Piracetam use also improves memory. College students are starting to catch on to this and are using Piracetam to help them study for exams. Whatever you put into your head when you're taking the smart drug Piracetam will stay there longer and be easier to access when you need it.

Many creative people who take smart drugs like Piracetam say that they improve their creativity. Musicians, artists, writers, and people from all walks of the creative world have started using Piracetam and say that their work reflects the improvements they've experienced in their general cognition. The notes, brush strokes, and lines of prose flow easier, and user report increased creativity resulting in more, and more successful, experimentation with their art.

Many people consider today's society to be overmedicated, and in some ways that's probably true. Because of the constant bombardment of medical ads with their dire warnings about possible side effects, many people are leery of putting another chemical into their bodies. This is a wise position to take, but research into Piracetam will show that it is one of the safest drugs in existence. In fact, a requirement for the class of smart drugs that Piracetam belongs to, the Nootropics, is for the drug to have no negative side effects.

A quick search of the PubMed database (Google: PubMed to find it) will show the hundreds of studies that have reported no negative side effects or drug interactions with Piracetam, or other smart drugs in the same class. The only recorded negative drug interaction is with alcohol - Piracetam and similar smart drugs can intensify the effect of alcohol while making the user notice it less, as it slows down their mind less while getting them drunker. This seemingly paradoxical effect is generally viewed as unpleasant by those who have experienced it.

Because Piracetam works on the acetylcholine in your brain, it is important to have enough acetylcholine; otherwise you will get headaches and not be able to think as well. To do this it is important to take a choline supplement, which will give your body what it needs to make extra acetylcholine. There are many types of choline supplements available, but the most common is choline bitartrate. Choline bitartrate is also the least expensive option.

It is hard to find Piracetam in your local stores. Fortunately, it is very easy to find on the internet from a large number of online retailers. The most popular way to take Piracetam is as a bulk powder. A large tub of Piracetam is surprisingly inexpensive, and will last for months. Bulk choline can also be found at the same retailers. This way the dosage can be adjusted to fit your preference, as the powders are measured out by the quarter teaspoon. While Piracetam pills are available, they are much more expensive and harder to find. Most people agree that the taste of Piracetam and Choline is completely masked when they are taken in a glass of orange juice, or other juices.

Smart drugs are real, and they are here today. The oldest and most studied of the smart drugs is Piracetam, which has been used in thousands of scientifics studies over several decades. This chemical has the power to increase just about every aspect of your brain functioning, if you're willing to let it.
