Taking Encephabol liquid is a popular and effective way to boost cognition in both clinical settings and among nootropic users.
First developed in a generic pill form known as Pyritinol in the 1970s, this brain supplement is considered to be a safe dietary supplement by the FDA.
It is currently being used in certain contexts as an adjunct treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.
But its off-label use as a concentration aid, memory enhancing, and depression fighting smart drug has driven interest and innovation in recent years.
The latest iteration of the supplement is an easy to swallow liquid form. Is Encephabol syrup as strong, effective, and economical as other forms of the remedy? Here is a summary of how Encephabol is intended to work, including the best forms to take for maximum benefits.



- Increases acetylcholine activity
- Promotes reasoning, memory & learning
- Supports dopaminergic activity & mood
How Encephabol Liquid Works
Related Topics
Encephabol liquid works in much the same way as another very familiar supplement – Vitamin B6.
Encephabol’s generic form, Pyritinol, is structurally similar to B6 (also known as Pyridoxine) at the molecular level.
In fact, Encephabol is simply a doubled-up Pyridoxine molecule. So, most of B6’s attributes are expressed by Encephabol in an amplified form.
Vitamin B6, as we know, is a direct pre-cursor to the important neurotransmitters serotonin, GABA, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. Encephabol also converts into these chemicals in the brain, often at a far greater rate than simple B6 would on its own.
Dopamine in particular is produced more efficiently and abundantly by Encephabol. This results in greater mental focus, concentration, a sense of energy, and pleasure response for the user. Taking this supplement can activate the reward system in your brain so that you experience heightened drive and motivation to achieve your goals.
Encephabol is also very active in the conversion of choline into acetylcholine in the brain. Encephabol assists in the neural uptake of choline and its transformation into acetylcholine. This neurotransmitter is a cognitive powerhouse which improves verbal and logical reasoning, the ability to form and access memories, and the sense of mental agility and acuity.
The presence of balanced levels of acetylcholine is absolutely essential to short term cognitive function and long term neural health. Acetylcholine creates a thriving neural landscape which is less likely to suffer from degenerative damage over time. In this way, taking a regular supplement of Encephabol liquid or one of the other forms of the drug can be a powerful neuro-protective agent.
Why Do People Take Encephabol Liquid?
Encephabol has been widely used in Europe for several decades.
It comes in both prescription strength pills, and as an over the counter remedy. People take it as a general booster to cognitive function and mental energy.
It is often used as a part of a daily vitamin regimen, intended to improve memory, learning ability, and reasoning overall, much in the same way that people might take a Vitamin C tablet for general immunity.
For students or businesspeople who must deal with a large amount of information as a part of their trade, Encephabol and its generic form Pyritinol can make it easier to sift through data and retain what’s important. This can be useful for particular tasks, like a large exam or presentation, or for more general improvements over the long term.
Users are naturally drawn to the Encephabol liquid or Encephabol syrup forms for their convenience. Many people do not enjoy taking supplements in pill form, or already take so many pills that a liquid option becomes attractive.
The end result is the same as taking it in tablet form – enhanced concentration, better mental clarity, and better reaction times to stimuli. The mood-lifting quality of Encephabol’s dopamine effects are also not to be underestimated. The supplement is known to ease negative feelings associated with depression and anxiety.
Encephabol Syrup and Hangovers
One interesting reason that people regularly take this supplement is as a cure for hangovers. This benefit works as a result of Encephabol’s strong anti-inflammatory qualities in the brain. Liquid Encephabol reduces swelling in the cerebrum, which is one source of the common alcohol hangover.
The reduction of inflammation in the brain can actually have far-reaching value beyond the reduction of hangover symptoms. Unchecked inflammation could lead to many very serious brain diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. So, keeping a bottle of Encephabol syrup in the house might be more than just a convenient way to erase the effects of a night of heavy drinking.
Encephabol Liquid and Syrup Price Comparison Vs Generic Tablets
The typical dose for Encephabol liquid hovers around 30 ml to 60 ml per day. Bottled Encephabol syrups usually are sold in 200 ml sizes. That means that each bottle, which retails for about $40, contains an average of 3-6 doses, at a staggering cost of about $5 per dose!
This number is not practical for anyone considering supplementing with Encephabol on daily or regular basis. The convenience of taking Encephabol in liquid form would be almost immediately outweighed by the inconvenience of having to perpetually restock bottles several times a month.
Luckily, there is a way to cut this expense dramatically, by supplementing with the Pyritinol Hydrochloride, the generic form of Encephabol. This generic, which creates the exact same nootropic effects as brand name Encephabol liquid products, sells for as little as 1/4 of the per dose price of liquids.
With no difference in benefits, it makes sense to enjoy the improved mental focus, memory power, and mood lift of this supplement at a fraction of the price. The novelty of liquid dosing just isn’t worth it.
