Uses of Noopept

Noopept is an ingredient commonly found in nootropic supplements, although you may also find it in some pre-workout supplements as well.

Noopept, also known as N-phenyl-acetyl-L-prolylglycine ethyl ester, has been shown to work as a neuroprotectant (preservation of neuronal structure and/or function.) It has also been studied and shown promise to help with memory.

With that said, it has also shown promise as a supplement to help people suffering from Alzheimer’s.

The issue with many of the studies on Noopept is not the amount of studies (well over 70) it's the lack of human studies among that number. It isn’t a nootropic that will kick in right away like many stimulants would. It is more of an ingredient that you may start to notice after several weeks to months of taking. If you’re looking into Noopept, don’t expect immediate results, expect long-term benefits.
