Noopept has a similar effect to Piracetam, in that it provides a mild cognitive boost after supplementation. Noopept also provides a subtle psychostimulatory effect.
Noopept has a much lower standard dose than piracetam (10-30mg, compared to 4800mg), and it provides a general neuroprotective effect after supplementation. This neuroprotective effect occurs during various states of cognitive trauma, including oxidative stress and physical trauma. There is, however, no evidence to suggest Noopept provides benefits for people with no cognitive ailments.
More studies are needed to determine the main mechanisms responsible for Noopept’s neuroprotective effect.
The only human study comparing Noopept and piracetam suggests the two have a comparable effect, once the smaller effective dose is taken into account.
