What's Pramiracetam?
Ever since the discovery of the racetams in the 1970's, the racetam family of compounds has been a compelling route for people trying to improve general cognition, memory, and learning capabilities.
In the world of nootropics, the racetams are the go-to nootropics for boosting brain power. While there is some variety of racetam forms, and not all racetams are as well understood as the parent compound, one of the more widely known and studied is Pramiracetam.
Pramiracetam (N-[2-(dipropan-2-ylamino)ethyl]-2- (2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)acetamide) is a GABA-like compound derived from the original racetam. The chemical difference between the two is that Pramiracetam has a dipropan-2-ylaminoethyl group rather than an amide.
Pramiracetam is remarkable for high oral-bioavailability and high potency. For this reason, users take Pramiracetam in smaller doses than it's prototype.
This more potent racetam is sometimes taken as an alternative to weaker racetams for people who don't feel they give them the sense of well-being that they are after or people who don't want to take as much powder as less potent racetams can require.
