Noopept XT question.

[ma70]

Can this be run acutely simply for pre-workout focus benefits? Or should I use ALCAR (dosed 1-2g) instead?

 

[booneman77]

Yes, acute effects are going to be great for workout focus. There's a few logs around that people have commented on just that.

 

[machinehead]

I prefer acute over daily use too

Does Noopept have to be cycled? I don't plan on using it every day, but I plan on using it for awhile as part of my "pre-workout package" (SNS Caffeine + hopefully SNS Noopept XT). If not, I guess I'll still to ALCAR

 

[booneman77]

If you're using it pretty regularly,yes it's best to cycle. I would call 3x a week or more "regular" and would take breaks with that scheme.

 

[ma70]

So you'd say 8 weeks on/4 weeks off approach? Or could I stretch it to 12 weeks?

 

[machinehead]

I'd say go by mood and impulse but not reason. You'd likely build tolerance anyway and start cycling it.

Good question and the only answer I can give is that I have no idea what the maximum use of it can be, mostly given that data on it outside of Russia is limited. It has been tested in Humans for ~60 days, so we tend to stick to 8 weeks at a time with a 4 week break as a guideline - simply because beyond that we have no real idea of what will happen

If anyone finds a study testing it's safety profile I'd love to read it.

In the mean time, I would stick to
