In this video I will discuss
What does Piracetam do
Piracetam, and racetams in general,
influence neuronal and
Vascular functions without acting as a sedative or stimulant
They have been found to increase blood flow and oxygen consumption in
Parts of the brain, but this is believed to be a side effect of increased brain activity and
Not a primary effect or mechanism of action
In middle aged and older individuals who do not yet suffer any specific neural malady or
Major mental impairment, Piracetam may not only slow down or postpone brain aging,
But may even reverse some mild neural/mental decline
Following is a list of effects associated with Piracetam use
In terms of cellular effects Piracetam:
Increases the sensitivity of receptors in the brain involved in memory and learning;
Improves the ability of brain cells to produce energy;
Increases blood flow, oxygen usage and glucose metabolic rate in the brain;
It protects brain tissue from a broad range of toxins and other
Physical and chemical insults
(ex: free radicals, toxins, drugs);
It enhances cellular protein synthesis;
It partially or completely reverses the toxic effects of a wide array of chemicals;
It significantly reduces lipofuscin levels in brain
Lipofuscin is a pigment that accumulates with age and
Is involved in the degeneration of cellular metabolism and brain function
Piracetam restores acethylcholine receptor numbers to youthful levels;
It increases synthesis and turnover of cytochrome b5 --
A key component of ATP energy production in mitochondria
It increases mitochondrial membrane permeability for intermediaries required for ATP production
It increases ATP turnover and
cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels;
It boosts interhemisphere communication;
It protects against hypoxia;
Piracetam lessens arrhythmia -- it decreases rhythm and increases contraction amplitude of the heart
It inhibits platelet aggregation (anti-thrombotic) and enhances erythrocyte deformability;
It lowers the production of acetylcholinesterase, thus increasing acetylcholine;
Acetylcholine is a key neurotransmitter involved in memory and learning functions
In summary,
Piracetam increases energy production while reducing oxidative stress and
Also exerting general toxicological neuroprotection
Additional metabolic benefits have been documented as stemming from these main effects
Piracetam harmonizes and synchronizes the two hemispheres of the brain,
Promotes youthful neurologic function and
Increases brains metabolism and intercellular communication
