Hydrapharm : Oxiracetam Nootropic

Hydrapharm have added a number of nootropics to their lineup over the past few years which marks a distinct shift from their earliest products that tended to be focused exclusively around supplements for bodybuilders mainly. Their latest nootropic, Oxiracetam, is one that is very well known among cognoscenti of nootropics with it being one of the most popular racetams among those seeking enhanced cognitive performance in the form of improving the ability to recall information, superior focus when concentrating on a task, and attenuate age-related decline in cognitive performance.

Clinical Evidence Supports Oxiracetam's Effectiveness

Originally, Oxiracetam received attention from big pharma due to its potential for reducing cognitive decline, as well as being investigated as a way to treat Alzheimer's. Indeed, Oxiracetam is part of a family of compounds which are used extensively to treat such conditions with piracetam, and leviracetam being two of the more commonly utilised approaches in clinical medicine.

Racetams in general are theorised to exert their results principally through anti-cholinergic or anti-glutaminergic pathways, and in animal studies Oxiracetam has been shown to boost memory effectively. It must be stated that there is a relative lack of human studies investigating the nootropic potential of Oxiracetam in healthy humans but that has not stopped it becoming a popular nootropic for those seeking precisely this effect and if you consider the long term anecdotal feedback then Oxiracetam is certainly a class above more commonly seen supplement ingredients designed for boosting cognitive ability such as bacopa monnieri, or huperzine.

Things to be Aware of if Stacking with Other Hydrapharm Nootropics

Hydrapharm make a number of different nootropics with 9-MBC, Bromantane and Anatablok being the three most popular ones but with significant fans out there for others as well. 

In general, we advise users to always use one nootropic at a time, to better understand how it impacts them in isolation before considering stacking multiple nootropics together. That said, Oxiracetam's mechanism of action is quite distinct from the like of 9-MBC and Bromantane which act via the dopaminergic pathway. As such, if you are considering stacking nootropics, pairing Oxiracetam with either of those two would make more sense than combining Bromantane and 9-MBC together.
