Noopept Nasal Spray Effects and Benefits
Noopept is a synthetic nootropic drug similar in structure to piracetam. It is reported to have cognitive enhancing and neuroprotective properties. Noopept nasal spray allows the nootropic to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the nasal mucosa, bypassing digestion.
This leads to effects being felt within 5-10 minutes rather than the 30-60 minutes of oral Noopept capsules. Studies show intranasal administration results in higher bioavailability and potency compared to oral administration. Around 10x higher absorption has been reported [R].
Noopept Improves Memory and Learning
Noopept is a synthetic nootropic compound known for its potential to improve memory, learning, and cognitive functions. It is believed to work by modulating acetylcholine activity, which is involved in learning and memory, and by upregulating the expression of neurotrophic factors, such as nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which are involved in the health and survival of neurons.
Animal studies have shown that Noopept can enhance memory and learning, protect neurons from damage, and exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties [R].
Noopept and Neuroprotection
Noopept’s neuroprotective effect is linked to its action on a well-known “triad” of neurotoxic elements: excess extracellular calcium, glutamate, and free radicals. By reducing the neurotoxic effects of these elements, Noopept can help protect the brain from damage. This action is particularly beneficial in conditions characterized by an overabundance of these neurotoxic elements, such as strokes, cerebral traumas, neurodegenerative processes, epilepsy, and schizophrenia.
In addition to this, Noopept has been found to decrease the extent of necrotic damage caused by photoinduced thrombosis of cortical blood vessels. This suggests that Noopept could potentially be used to mitigate the effects of conditions that involve damage to the brain’s blood vessels [R].
Noopept May Improve Mood and Anxiety
Noopept, a synthetic nootropic, has been associated with mood enhancement and anxiety relief. It is believed to work by boosting cognition, memory, learning, and recall, while also relieving anxiety. This is thought to be due to Noopept’s antioxidant effect, anti-inflammatory action, and its ability to prevent the neurotoxic effect of excessive calcium and glutamate.
Clinical research has identified Noopept’s role in improving mood disorders, although more studies are needed for definitive proof. Some users have reported improvements in emotional well-being and a greater sense of ease and emotional balance, which helped them handle stress and anxiety more effectively [R].
