Noopept, a strong cognitive enhancer, was developed in Russia in the early 2000s for the treatment of alcohol induced brain damage. A mind-turning supplement, Noopept is a powerful substance which is able to cross the blood brain barrier. It works primarily by binding to glutamate receptors and exerting strong neuroprotective effects on the brain. Its high bio-availability also means it is fast acting and may have a cumulative effect.
While it is most well known as a brain supplement, Noopept also increases coordination and improves mood. It is able to help fight fatigue and avoid withdrawals with no noticeable side effects. It makes a great study aid, since it will not cause insomnia. Some research also indicates that this supplement may help to prevent oxidization damage to the brain. It also works to treat alcohol related brain damage (this was actually the original purpose for its development).
In one of the most well known Russian studies, the effects of noopept supplementation was studied on the rat brain. This included both single and long term (28 days) treatment. Some of the conclusions reached regarding the long term treatment include: Long term treatment did NOT result in the development of tolerance The changes caused by the nootropic supplement may play a role in neural restoration Neurotrophin synthesis in the hippocampus (which the supplement clearly increased) determines cognitive function, especially delayed memory retrieval Noopept holds much promise to prevent the development of Alzheimer's in patients with mild cognitive impairment. Noopept is prescribed in Russia and certain other eastern-european countries, though not in America. Noopept is also readily crosse the blood-brain-barrier following oral administration in modest doses, though some people claim it has higher bioavailabilty sublingually and is ineffective orally.
