Aniracetam Capsules

Description

Aniracetam is a memory enhancing nootropic that falls into the racetam class. It was originally developed in the early 1970s by a team of research scientists at Hoffmann-La Roche. Aniracetam is believed to work as both a cholinergic and ampakine nootropic but not all is fully understood. It is also thought to have anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and mood properties possible through a variety of different mechanisms.

Mechanism of Action

Aniracetam is thought to function as both an ampakine and cholinergic nootropic. Its primary method of action is thought to occur as an ampakine by stimulation of the AMPA glutamate receptor. Stimulation of this receptor site is thought to contribute largely to the learning and memory enhancement of Aniracetam. This nootropic is also thought to work as a positive allosteric modulator of acetylcholine receptors which is believed to be the secondary method of action.

While the above mechanisms are believed to be the main mechanisms of this nootropic, there may be other mechanisms at play. Aniracetam may have dopaminergic and serotonergic properties that contribute to cognitive improvements as well. This nootropics’ potential effects on mood and anxiety may be related to modulation of the above monoamine neurotransmitters. It is fair to say that we do not yet fully understand the scope of Aniracetams’ effects.

Because of its long history, there have been many studies conducted on Aniracetam and its effects in animals and humans. Aniracetam has previously been the center of Alzheimer’s research throughout Europe and it has also been the focal point of other memory and cognitive skills enhancement testing in both humans and animals.

Aniracetam has been found to improve memory in certain studies, and there has also been suggestions that it may enhance the learning capabilities of humans. One of the reasons it is considered a learning enhancement agent is because of its potential ability to help people focus on activities such as reading and learning comprehension.

Potential Benefits

• Possibly Enhances Cognitive Abilities
• Could Allow for Better Focus on Tasks such as Reading and Learning
• May Act as an Anxiolytic and Mood-Brightener
• May Open up the Ability to Carry on More Fluid Conversations
• Possibly Creates or Enhances an Eye for Detail

Side Effects

Aniracetam is a recognised nootropic, so it tends to steer clear of dangerous side effects. To this date, there are very few documented cases of Aniracetam overdose or any type of fatal reaction from taking the compound. One side effect that is common are headaches which are often associated with the use of racetams. Other rare side effects may include allergic reactions. Overall, Aniracetam capsules are believed to be relatively safe and they been used all over the world for several decades.

If you are taking any other medications, then you should discuss Aniracetam capsules with your physician before mixing it with other substances. There are not any known serious drug reactions with Aniracetam capsules however using the above advice is always the recommended method when consuming nootopic capsules. Women who are planning on getting pregnant, are pregnant, or are currently nursing should not take Aniracetam.

Stacking

People who stack Aniracetam capsules are usually looking to enhance their memory and expand their overall learning abilities. That is why Aniracetam capsules usually get paired up with complimentary memory supplements that help to promote clear and logical thinking. One of the more popular Aniracetam stacks is the PAO stack (Piracetam, Aniracetam, Oxiracetam). Others stack Aniracetam with various cholinergics such as, Alpha GPC, Citicoline and Centrophenoxine.

Other Aniracetam stacks include Vinpocetine, Huperzine A, and Noopept. The Vinpocetine stack is extremely popular because Vinpocetine is said to help increase blood flow, which can have a variety of positive effects when teamed up with a strong memory enhancer racetam such as Aniracetam.

The Pros and Cons of Choosing Aniracetam Capsules

Using Aniracentam capsules is extremely convenient. There is no measuring involved, and the user can skip the unpleasant bitter taste of this nootropic. Capsules are also more portable and don’t require a scale to measure them. Another benefit, is that Aniracetam is fat soluble, so taking it in capsule form can avoid the challenges seen in the powder version.

One of the big cons with Aniracetam capsules is that developing customized dosages with various stacks can serve to be difficult. Capsules also tend to be a little more expensive, which is evident in the case of Aniracetam. The customer has to pay for the extra cost and labour involved in measuring and encapsulating the product.
