Noopept is a popular nootropic among Canadians for both enhancement of mental function and its neuroprotective properties.
Its potency is approximately 1000x that of Piracetam.
This increased potency doesn’t mean you get 1000x more mental boost, but instead, it means that you take it in significantly smaller doses in order to achieve the desired results.
Noopept shows a much greater affinity for certain receptor sites in the brain than other racetams, thus you can take a very small dose to gain the benefits of increased focus, improved logical thinking function, enhanced memory, and increased learning ability including improved recall.
Some users report a subtle psycho-stimulatory effect, as well.

Noopept was discovered in a Russian laboratory by a team of researchers attempting to make a prototype of Pramiracetam.
It is a peptide which can be taken orally and passes easily through the blood-brain barrier.
Patents have been issued both in Russia and the USA for this smart drug.
In addition to the mental enhancements of memory, learning, focus and directed thinking, Noopept appears to have certain neuroprotective qualities.
Though the exact mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective effects are not well understood, Noopept has been shown to stimulate and promote Nerve Growth Hormone (NGH) which is involved and responsible for preventing and reducing neuronal degeneration in the area of the hippocampus.
The hippocampus is thought to play an important role in memory consolidation and in spatial navigation.
Noopept has also shown to stimulate and promote Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) which works to strengthen the growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses, as well as reinforcing the survival of neurons. These neuroprotective actions are unique to Noopept and more research needs to be done to establish how these mechanisms may work in the human brain.

Noopept in Canada
Canadian regulation of Nootropic drugs and substances require that drugs needing a prescription be registered. Medications which have been approved and fall under regulation, have a Drug Identification Number (DIN) assigned to them.
Noopept does not have a Drug Identification Number and, thus, is not a regulated drug. It is not a controlled substance nor is it scheduled under federal law.
This means in Canada, you may not import Noopept for distribution or commercial purposes but you may import small quantities for personal use. Quantities of 1-3 months are usually considered to be for personal use.
Where to Buy Noopept in Canada
Many Canadian residents choose to order their nootropics from online companies. Ordering from a company within the USA will reduce shipping costs and the length of time required to get your product to you.
When choosing a nootropic company, it is recommended to check other user’s reviews regarding quality of products, shipping speeds and shipping prices. Most online companies will be familiar with the appropriate documentation for making shipments to Canada flow smoothly and they should be able to answer any questions you may have regarding a shipment to you.
Noopept is available in bulk powder form in quantities ranging from 1 gram to 50 grams. The recommended dosage for Noopept is 10mg-20mg taken over two to three intervals during the day. For new users, taking 10mg initially is recommended, then adjusting up to 20mg only if needed.
We strongly recommend buying a scale capable of accurately measuring milligrams for proper dosing, especially when dealing with doses as small as 10mg. Users report that taking larger amounts than the recommended dose do not amplify the effects of Noopept and should not be attempted.

- Boost energy, alertnes & memory
- Contains 12 safe and natural nootropic ingredients
Noopept Cost
Because of the significantly low dosage needed to achieve optimal results, buying Noopept in a 5-gram or 10-gram quantity will be enough to last for quite a while. Prices can vary, but 10 grams are generally priced right around $30.
If taking the higher dose of 20mg each time, the cost per dose works out to about .06 cents per dose, making Noopept not only a potent smart drug, but a sufficiently cost-effective one as well. In our analysis of the cheapest Nootropics, Noopept came out on top.
Noopept Legal Status Summary
In Canada, Noopept is not a regulated drug and does not have a DIN assigned to it, making it permissible for Canadian residents to buy and use Noopept.
It can be imported in small quantities for personal use but may not be imported for commercial purposes or distribution. Buying from a reputable online company based in the USA is usually the easiest and quickest means of importation.
Noopept can be stacked with a good source of Choline if headache should be experienced. Other side effects are generally mild and infrequent.
Noopept is a potent, non-toxic and cost-effective smart drug with cognitive enhancing and neuroprotective properties.
