More detailed information about the studies on the application can be found in the Research tab.

FAQ
Is Piracetam Legal in the US?
Piracetam is not FDA-approved for medical use in the United States, but it is not classified as a controlled substance. This means it’s legal to possess and use, but cannot be marketed as a dietary supplement. Some users import it for personal use through international vendors.
Does Piracetam Increase Anxiety?
Piracetam can cause increased anxiety, but this is considered a rare side effect. However, individual reactions may vary. If you notice increased anxiety after taking Piracetam, it’s recommended to consult a healthcare professional and consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different nootropic.
Is Piracetam a Stimulant?
Piracetam is not a stimulant. It does not directly stimulate the central nervous system. Instead, it works by modulating neurotransmission to support cognition and memory without causing jitteriness or increased heart rate.
How Long does Piracetam Take to Work?
Piracetam’s effects can take several days to a few weeks to become noticeable. The full cognitive benefits often appear with consistent use over time.
What is the Dosage of Piracetam?
Nootropil Pills
The standard Piracetam dosage is 1,200mg / two times a day, which is 2,400 mg in total. The dosing of Piracetam depends on the person’s condition and the desired effects.
If oral administration is not possible, for example in case of unconsciousness or swallowing problems, the doctor can prescribe piracetam injections.
Nootropil Injections
For cognition-related issues, piracetam injection dosage is 2.4-4.8 grams/daily. When treating alcohol withdrawal symptoms, the dosage can be increased up to 9–12 g. The daily dose is divided into several injections at regular intervals so that the dose per injection would not exceed 3 g.
Before injecting, the drug shall be diluted in one of the matching infusion solutions.
For more instructions on Piracetam doses, please refer to the translated official drug sheets following the links below.
If Piracetam is used as a mild cognitive enhancer by otherwise healthy people, it shall be normally taken for a period from 4 to 6 weeks, with main effects starting to manifest after 3–4 weeks of supplementation.
What Are the Side Effects of Piracetam?
Piracetam`s side effects rarely occur, with the most common being increased irritability, hyperkinesia (excessive abnormal movements), and body weight gain.
Check with your doctor before taking Piracetam if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have renal impairment, or any other medical conditions.

Clearer Mind, Better Focus
It took about a week for Piracetam to really kick in, but once it did, I noticed a clear improvement in mental clarity and focus. I found it much easier to work on complex tasks, and it reminded me of phenylpiracetam — but without the stimulating effects, which is perfect for me since I prefer non-stimulating nootropics. I ran a 3-week treatment and was very happy with the results. I will definitely purchase it again! Shipping in the US was fast and smooth, and the packaging was perfect. Thanks again to the CN team — you guys are the best!

Used as a truck driver
Years ago, I stayed awake by taking this with cheap choline and coffee. Since I recently found it again, I find that I have to take it with food, but it keeps me from having that insulin crash after eating a big meal. I don't always need the caffeine, but it helps if I get up too early or drive hundreds of miles. I take with Alpha GPC, and I vape for nicotine.

Blessed y'all carry the name brand
My absolute favorite racetam and was blown away when I ran upon CosmicNootropic several months ago and noticed they carry the actual product and not some generic full of fillers and such, meaning the name brand. I was blessed to be born with ADHD, and this is an amazing adjunct to my prescribed medication... And I've recently noticed CosmicNootropic is endorsed by a lot of heavy hitters in the nootropics world, if you will. Always cool to know that! I've purchased I believe 3 at least, different orders for this amazing product and will continue in the future. Thank you all so much for all you do and for providing products which are tough to come by these days! Customer service is top notch and just an overall a beautiful company �����
