A couple of weeks ago I ran out of Piracetam, which I had started taking 3 times per week about a month ago to very positive effect. Amazon stopped carrying it so I searched online and found this forum, and I read about Noopept which was hailed as 1000 times stronger than Piracetam. Several people recommended a supplier called New Star and so I ordered Noopept from New Star and have since dosed on 3 occasions, spaced two days apart. Each time I have upped my dose, from 15mg to 50mg, and today -- about an hour ago -- I took 200 mg.
I wish I could report positively and vote this drug up, but truth be told I can't feel anything.
After weighing the amount I am dosing, I put all of the powder at once under my tongue and leave it there for a couple of minutes. When the bitterness consumes my mouth to the point I want to gag, I swish it around and force myself to swallow it down. Afterward, I drink a glass of water or milk. Within a few minutes the bitter aftertaste goes away.
I read that for Noopept to work it has to bond with fat. So prior to or just after, I eat a small portion of something with fat. The last time I dosed I ate a scrambled egg immediately following my dose. Tonight, about an hour and a half ago, I ate a small bowl of homemade vegetable soup (which, don't laugh, contained peanut butter -- my wife is a vegan). Fat, check.
I am 5 ft 11", 190 lbs, and am not taking anything else apart from one or two cups of coffee per day.
It would appear to me that Noopept is severely over-hyped, though I am only one data point and cannot speak for others. I suppose it is possible that some people experience 1000x the effect that Piracetam has on them, but for me that multiplier has been 0x. I will probably take the remainder of the vial that I purchased all at once, for one last super-mega dose, and see what that does, but barring miracles there I will be returning to Piracetam.
As for my choice in vendor, I agree with the others here who rated New Star very highly. The shipment was very fast, the contents were perfect as far as I could tell, there was a thoughtful note inside. I have every reason to believe, based on what I have read on this forum about the effects of Noopept, that I received very high quality merchandise. Any failure is my own: my body-brain chemistry does not react to this one, so I feel.
