Product Description Piracetam Piracetam, a leading Nootropic, is a cerebral function regulating drug which is claimed to be able to enhance cognition and memory, slow down brain aging, increase blood flow and oxygen to the brain, aid stroke recovery, and improve Alzheimer's, Down's Syndrome, dementia and dyslexia, among others. Mechanism of Action Piracetame The mechanism of action of piracetam is not known. It has been found to increase blood flow and oxygen consumption in parts of the brain. Piracetam may facilitate movement of information between the brain's two hemispheres via the corpus callosum, and improves the function of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine via muscarinic cholinergic (ACh) receptors which are implicated in memory processes. Pharmaco Kinetics Several meta-reviews of literature on piracetam indicate that piracetam increases performance on a variety of cognitive tasks among dyslexic children, though this may reflect its enhancement of cross-hemispheric communication and of cognitive function in general, rather than a specific improvement in whatever causes dyslexia. Piracetam also seems to inhibit brain damage caused by a variety of factors including hypoxia and excessive alcohol consumption.

Adverse Effects Piracetam has been found to have very few side effects, and those it has are typically "few, mild, and transient."A large-scale, 12-week trial of high-dose piracetam found no adverse effects occurred in the group taking piracetam as compared to the placebo group.
