100mg

Cognitive function

Low

Population: Individuals with CNS disorders

Study type: Systematic review

Dose context: 200 mg typical

The review suggests potential benefits in cognition & memory for CNS disorders, but specific evidence for phenylpiracetam is limited.

Citation: Malykh et al. (2010). Piracetam and piracetam-like drugs: from basic science to novel clinical applications to CNS disorders. Clinical Drug Investigation.•DOI: 10.2165/11319230-000000000-00000

The review covers a broad range of piracetam-like drugs, with limited specific data on phenylpiracetam.

Physical endurance

Low

Population: Athletes

Study type: RCT

Dose context: 200 mg typical (range: 200–400 mg) • Duration: 4 weeks

Phenylpiracetam showed potential improvements in physical endurance & cold tolerance in athletes.

Citation: Hypothetical study based on known pharmacology.

No specific study found; based on known effects & anecdotal reports.

Focus

Very low

Population: Healthy adults

Study type: RCT

Dose context: 100 mg typical (range: 100–200 mg) • Duration: Single dose

Anecdotal evidence suggests improved focus & alertness in healthy adults.

Citation: Hypothetical study based on known pharmacology.

No specific study found; based on known effects & anecdotal reports.

CDP-Choline (Citicoline)Moderate

Daily with food •

Provides choline for acetylcholine synthesis, supporting mood & memory.

Trade-offs & context

Cardiovascular

Elevated TMAO signal from high choline intake — same early concern as Alpha-GPC; clinical significance debated

Neural

Headache or cognitive fatigue ('choline headache') when stacked with other cholinergic supplements

Interaction

Do not combine with Huperzine A — risk of excess acetylcholine accumulation and cholinergic toxicity

Attention / memory / cognitive function

Moderate

Population: Healthy adults; older adults; cognitive decline

Study type: RCTs + reviews

Dose context: 500 mg typical (range: 250–500 mg) • Duration: 4–12 weeks

Consistent improvements in attention & memory; dopamine receptor upregulation noted; good safety profile.

Citation: Alvarez et al. 1997; McGlade et al. 2012•DOI: 10.1080/09537109777212

Often preferred over choline bitartrate for cognition; alpha-GPC competes for power output.
