Some nootropics are typically sold in bulk powder format and may not be available in pills or capsules.
Buying bulk nootropic powder might throw you off a bit if you are not used to purchasing brain supplements in this manner.
However, using nootropic powders is just as simple as buying a pre-made product like Alpha Brain. Powdered nootropics also tend to be higher in concentration and cheaper to purchase for the end consumer.
Here is the right way to use and take bulk nootropic powders for cognitive enhancement.

The most important step when taking any nootropic powder products is ensuring you have the right dosage of whatever compound you are using – whether it is a Piracetam powder, Adrafinil, or even Alpha GPC.
Especially with more concentrated powders like noopept and piracetam, a small change in dosage can make a dramatic change in your results.
First you have to determine the proper dosage level based on health professional recommendations but also your personal experience level.
In order to measure your nootropic powder dose, you will need a couple of implements: a set of microspoons and an electronic milligram scale. You can buy microspoons for less than $10 and a high quality scale will cost you around $30.
When looking for microspoons, you should find a set that comes in at least 1/64 teaspoon, 1/32 tsp., 1/16 tsp., 1/12 tsp. and 1/6 tsp. sizes. One teaspoon is equivalent to 5000 mg so the smallest spoon 1/64 tsp. will give you 80 mg.
For most bulk nootropics, this should be sufficiently precise measurement. However, for powders like Adrafinil and Noopept that are typically taken in smaller dosages, you may want to upgrade to an electric scale.

- Boost energy, alertnes & memory

We recommend that you use an electric scale in conjunction with your microspoons to verify that you have the proper dosage.
For example, when measuring out a 40 mg dosage of noopept you fill the 1/64th teaspoon approximately halfway and then use the scale to verify that you have the proper measurement.
Fortunately, most nootropics are safe enough that a small deviation in dosage size will not likely cause serious side effects.
However, there are some nootropic powders such as Adrafinil that you need to be more careful with because excess doses may cause negative side effects.
Filling your Own Pill Caps
Most people who use nootropic powder in bulk will simply mix their powder into water or juice to take.
Fat soluble pills (like aniracetam and pramiracetam) are the one exception that need to be mixed into milk in order to properly dissolve.
However, if you are taking several nootropics at once you might find it more convenient to prepare your stack ahead of time rather than constantly measuring out dosages of multiple raw powders.
That is where buying empty pill capsules and filling them yourselves can come in handy.
You can purchase pill caps at very low prices and then use a simple siphon to fill them with your favorite nootropic powders.
There are also “capsule filling machines” that can be purchased online for less than $30 to expedite this process.
This can make it easier to travel with your nootropic stack and improve your cognitive performance even when you are on the go.

If I buy empty pill capsules and fill it up with around 20mg of noopept, what size capsule should I get?
hey guys,
What impact/affects the effect of nootropics? (height, weight,lifestyle?…) And can I somehow calculate the dose, regarding to it?
Best,
Peter
Hi Peter,
The best way to determine an appropriate dosage is to speak to a doctor who is experienced with nootropics. A doctor will be able to help you determine the right dosage depending on personal factors like the ones you mentioned.
