Phenylpiracetam is a newer Racetam nootropic that has been called up to 60x stronger than Piracetam.
It was initially developed in Russia to improve energy, cognitive function and mood balance for use in cosmonauts on long space missions.
Phenylpiracetam (Carphedon, Phenotropil, fonturacetam) also demonstrates positive effects on physical stamina, pain tolerance, sensitivity to extreme temperatures and on motivation. Because of its ability to boost athletic performance, it has been banned by WADA for use in competitive athletes.
Interest in this powerful nootropic has been very high, but due to its relatively short history of use there are not many first-hand reviews of the effects of Phenylpiracetam.

Phenylpiracetam User Review

“I started using Phenylpiracetam to keep up with the high stress life of a University College, and mainly for calculus.
“I didn’t want to get hooked into the common pill poppers who choose ADHD medication as a study aid like I had in the past, and I didn’t want the crash from caffeine whenever I needed a boost.
“Once I discovered nootropics, and Phenylpiracetam in particular, I knew I had found just that.
“Phenylpiracetam is hands down the strongest nootropic I have ever tried, and goes well ahead of noopept, pramiracetam, piracetam, aniracetam, modafinil (sort of a nootropic) and alpha GPC.
“It gives the boost I need, and the almost super powered feeling in my mind that ‘I need to know everything’, getting me through tough study sessions.
“I use it twice a week, without any adverse side effects or without any rebound effect whatsoever. I try to space out my use of it by at least four days, and only take it with Alpha GPC once a week to minimize overall tolerance.
“I also supplement L-Tyrosine on an almost daily basis with it, making sure my receptors are fully optimized once it’s time for that next big, Phenylpiracetam fueled study session.

Effects of Phenylpiracetam
“I noticed while taking Phenylpiracetam, that it was very similar to Adderall, only without side effects, and a much cleaner version.
“I would recommend Phenylpiracetam to anyone who’s looking to be on their A game on days they take it, or if they have any big projects at hand.
“Phenylpiracetam, I found, is best stacked with Alpha GPC, as well as noopept, for a very motivated, but clean type of effect. You can feel each individual nootropic working separately, and for me it provides almost a photographic memory like effect.
“Studying that would normally take hours to get through is reduced to less than half an hour, and it’s great for social situations too. I’ve also found that to some degree, it seems to potentiate the effects of alcohol, while allowing you to drink more in the process.
“As far as hangovers, Phenylpiracetam eliminates them entirely after a night of drinking, and nothing feels better then waking up feeling great while the entire dorm is left bedridden for the next twenty four hours.

- Focus longer, clear brain fog & feel more motivated
- Boost energy, alertnes & memory
- Contains 12 safe and natural nootropic ingredients
“Phenylpiracetam also seems to have more interesting effects on me through music appreciation and greater physical endurance. Normally when I study, music is a large part of my motivation.
“On Phenylpiracetam however, the music feels like it’s linked to my mind, and like it’s almost impossible to take my headphones off. It makes studying almost fun, and to this day has gotten me through more term papers, mid terms, and novels on a deadline than I can even recall.
“With relevance to working out on the other hand, Phenylpiracetam is best combined with creatine monohydrate if you’re looking to seriously add a boost to your work out. For weight lifting, nothing is better than adding ten pounds to your max because of a pre-workout supplement.
“For running, the same is enlightened. Phenylpiracetam makes my run faster paced and more fun than ever, and when running with my headphones in on this amazing nootropic, it supercharges my run, and improves my cardio in the long run.
“I HIGHLY recommend Phenylpiracetam to anyone who’s looking to give themselves that edge. It’s stronger and safer than coffee, and is the best nootropic I’ve tried so far.
“If you’re interested in more on this one of a kind nootropic, check out my blog Perfect Version of Yourself, and check out my new book coming this winter “Confessions of an AP Student” about why not to get sucked into the ADHD medication craze.
“If you’re interested, definitely get your hands on some Phenylpiracetam, and supercharge your life!”
