Description
Piracetam is a water-soluble Pyrrolidone derivative Nootropic smart drug, chemically similar to Pyroglutamate.
Health Benefits of Piracetam
Aging & Life Extension
Piracetam may counteract the degeneration of the Mitochondria that occurs in tandem with the progression of the Aging Process. [1]
Piracetam may possess Life Extension potential:
This claim is made on the basis of studies that have demonstrated the ability of Piracetam to prolong the life span of mice and rats under conditions of Hypoxia.
Cardiovascular System
Piracetam may counteract the Hypoxia that occurs as a result of Atherosclerosis.
Piracetam may improve Blood Circulation to the Brain (and may thereby alleviate Cerebral Insufficiency). [2]
Piracetam may help to prevent abnormal Blood Clotting. [3]
Piracetam may counteract Raynaud's Disease (by alleviating the underlying Hypoxia that is believed to be responsible for Raynaud’s Disease). [4]
Piracetam may help to prevent and treat Sickle-Cell Anemia. [5]
Piracetam may enhance the after-treatment of Strokes (due to its enhancement of Oxygen utilization in the Brain). [6]
Cells
Piracetam may counteract the degeneration of the Mitochondria that occurs in tandem with the progression of the Aging Process. [7]
Digestive System
Piracetam may alleviate Hiccups. [8]
Ears/Hearing
Piracetam may improve Hearing in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss patients: [9]
Clinical studies have demonstrated that Piracetam can improve hearing by an average 15 dB in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss patients.
Piracetam may alleviate (acute) Tinnitus. [10]
Metabolism
Piracetam may help to prevent Altitude Sickness. [11]
Piracetam (1,600 - 2,400 mg) may improve Athletic Performance at high altitudes (due to Piracetam's ability to prevent Hypoxia).
Piracetam may reduce Fatigue. [12]
Piracetam may accelerate the Brain’s recovery from Hypoxia and may also help to prevent Brain Hypoxia. [13]
Nervous System
Piracetam may improve Abstract Reasoning. [14]
Piracetam may improve Memory in persons afflicted with Age Associated Memory Impairment (AAMI). [15]
Piracetam may be useful for the treatment of the symptoms of Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome. [16]
Piracetam may improve Alertness in normal, healthy persons and age-impaired persons. [17]
Piracetam may improve the condition of Alzheimer's Disease patients and Dementia patients: [18]
Piracetam may increase Alertness (by an average of 50%) in Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia patients.
Piracetam may alleviate Depression (by an average of 32%) in Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia patients.
Piracetam may improve Memory (by an average of 45%) in Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia patients.
Piracetam may alleviate the Paranoia that often occurs during the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease. [19]
Piracetam may alleviate Sleep Disorders in Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia patients.
Piracetam may improve Memory and reduce Neuron damage in Multiple-Infarct Dementia patients. [20]
Piracetam may alleviate Anxiety. [21]
Piracetam may protect Astrocytes from destruction/damage during conditions of Hypoxia. [22]
Piracetam (1,200 - 2,400 mg per ay) may alleviate the Learning difficulties associated with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). [23]
Piracetam may improve Attention Span in normal, healthy humans and age-impaired persons. [24]
Piracetam may reduce disruptive behavior in children with Autism. [25]
Piracetam may restore Brain Waves patterns (EEG) to normal in elderly persons: [26]
Piracetam may increase Alpha Waves activity. [27]
Piracetam may increase Beta Waves activity. [28]
Piracetam may decrease Delta Waves activity. [29]
Piracetam may decrease Theta Waves activity. [30]
Piracetam may facilitate the Interhemispheric Flow of Information between the two hemispheres of the Brain across the Corpus Callosum (by stimulating the production of AdenosineTriphosphate (ATP) in the Cerebral Cortex of the Brain). [31]
Piracetam may improve the state of consciousness in Coma patients. [32]
Piracetam may reduce the severity and frequency of the symptoms that occur after Concussion. [33]
Piracetam may enhance Creativity (by improving the Interhemispheric flow of Information within the Corpus Callosum of the Brain). [34]
