• nootropic - improves metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting   and bioenergetic processes in the nerve cells and their interactions with neurotransmitter systems of the brain (neurotransmitters - are biologically active substances with which excitation is transmitted from one nerve cell to another), restores the processes of excitation and inhibition in the CNS; The result is improved intellectual abilities of Person memory, learning, concentration, increases the level of judgment; tenoten also able to limit the damage to the area of ​​brain cells, which contributes to more rapid recovery of memory and learning processes in the conditions of hypoxia and intoxication after acute stroke;
• neuroprotective - alters the functional activity of protein S-100, which contributes to a better adaptation of the brain under stress How to beat stress? Create an oasis ; protects the neurons from the damaging effect of a variety of external and internal factors (including metabolites), prevents neuronal excitement, their self-destruction; increases resistance to stress;
• anksioloticheskoe or tranquilizing - relieve feelings of fear, anxiety, emotional tension and irritability; an alarm condition has been held in the early hours after dosing;

Phenotropil (active ingredient - phenylpiracetam) - a relatively new drug, a stimulant, has on the complex effect. Initially he considered only fenotropil neuroprotective drugs and antidepressants, but the effect of the drug on the human body was far more versatile. Due fonturatsetama neuromodulator activity, the active ingredient Phenotropil today this drug can rank as psychoactive, anxiolytic, antidepressant, nootropic drugs. In fact fenotropil is the founder of a totally new class of drugs - the so-called neuromodulators of the central type of action.

Phenylpiracetam active ingredient Phenotropil - nootropic agent piracetam one of the derivatives, the ancestor class nootropics, to this day is used for the treatment of certain neurological and psychiatric disorders. Phenotropil shown in various central nervous system disorders, depression, schizophrenia. To have a greater value, however, stimulant properties of the drug: fenotropil increases stress, it stimulates brain activity, helps with fatigue, improves physical and mental performance. And finally, one of the major advantages of Phenotropil - no risk of addiction even at course of treatment.

Safe stimulant or doping?

Fenilpiratsetam, Phenotropil active ingredient, in the EU and the United States included in the list of banned doping substances, regularly supplemented by WADA - the independent organization set up with the support of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) .  Fenilpiratsetam considered doping forbidden to receive all Olympic sports .  Because of the ban on fenilpiratsetam over the past few years we have suffered some athletes: for example, in February 2006, the Russian biathlete, winner of the silver medal of the Olympic Games Olga Pyleva was disqualified after the Anti-Doping Commission of positive results of a blood test on doping substances .  Pyleva itself claimed that Carphedon (fenilpiratsetam) was part of the drugs recommended by her personal physician .  In 2008, the same sanctions have been applied against the Russian sportsman Roman Usov, which banned to take part in the Beijing Olympics, again due fenilpiratsetama .

Potential complications

The stimulating effect of any nootropic drug rarely goes to the body without any consequences. Permanent artificial stimulation of receptors in the composition of chemical compounds such stimulant drugs may lead to depletion of a different nature - a nervous, emotional exhaustion. Perhaps something similar effect is observed during chronic administration of drugs, antidepressants, also affecting the receptors in the brain - not for nothing at the end of the course of treatment is required to reduce the dosage gradually to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Increased irritability Irritability - you try to control my temper , Sleep disorders and insomnia, fatigue, lethargy, inability to experience strong emotions or, on the contrary, mood swings Mood swings in women - bad character or a disease? , Heightened emotionality - just a few of the potential impact of long-term use Phenotropil provided there is no need in this preparation.

Increases of neurotransmitters - substances with which excitation is transmitted to the brain cells.

Fenotropilom caused by biochemical processes in the brain allows him to exert an active influence on the processes of memory, concentration and mental activity. It facilitates the learning process, increases the speed of information transfer in the brain, brain tissue increases resistance to oxygen deficiency and toxic effects, possesses anticonvulsant effect, regulates the processes of excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system, improves mood, visual acuity.

Indications for use

Phenotropil has wide indications for use:

• central nervous system diseases of various origins, especially those related to cardiovascular diseases and disorders of metabolic processes in the brain, which are accompanied by impaired mental activity, memory and decreased motor activity;
• neuroses (nervous system disorders, developing in response to stress), which are accompanied by lethargy, increased exhaustion, decreased mental and motor activity, in violation of attention, memory impairment;
• learning disabilities;
• mood disorders (depression);
• disorders of the brain, associated with changes in brain structures (for example, after an injury) that appear impaired memory, thinking abilities and willpower;
• motor disorders and mental activity in schizophrenia;
• diseases accompanied by convulsions;
• obesity is not associated with endocrine diseases;
• chronic alcoholism with severe mental disorders.
