If you could say if this smell if more in direction of honey, or more in direction of old lady floral perfume (but in kinda sick way). If neither - try mixing small sample with strongly acidic water, and then smelling. I checked synthetic routes and maybe I could tell you what is this impurity.
If you could make HNMR analysis, and post it, then I could tell you what kind of impurities are there with 90% precision 
Googoltarian: Hmmm... luckily I've got a pretty sweet
NMR setup in my basement, LOL.
As far as acidic water, what kind of acid do I need to add to the water? I'm guessing vinegar wouldn't be suitable since it has such an overpowering smell of it's own. Would I need HCL?
I was thinking of buying a
TLC setup from ebay just to mess around with, but haven't done so yet. Also, out of town at the moment so will have to continue "analysis" when I get back.
As far as "Honey or nasty old lady perfume" I'd say it's much more benign than usual, so probably closer to Honey, but still that is a terrible way to describe it.
How difficult is the synthesis? Does they use solid-phase or liquid-phase peptide synthesis? I assume since it's such a short peptide that solid-phase wouldn't be necessary but am very curious. Thanks
It's good to hear that it's potent. I was worried that they screwed up their synthesis and came out the way it did. My noopept came in a ziploc bag inside the normal Cerebral Health foil package, was yours like that too, manic?
And it doesn't smell like anything I've encountered in particular but sort of smells like unwashed clothes? LOL. I guess it also smells like weird rubber...
Also it's my first time trying noopept, what's the best way to take it? Thanks in advance!
Yeah, that packaging is normal. The inside bag is probably to help save powder since it's kind of sticky stuff and the bottom of those foil bags are hard to scrape powder from.
Well, Noopept has a very distinct odor. That's actually included on the analysis checklist for Chinese chem companies, "Characteristic Odor = Present". So that's one thing that made me worry, was that the "characteristic odor" was different. But like I said, potency and effects seem similar.
As far as best way to take it, I hope you have a scale available that measures to the .001 grams pretty accurately. That's really the only way to know how much you're taking. It's impossible to eye-ball 10mg. Especially with this powder since it's really unevenly distributed with weight. I'd suggest starting with 10mg and work your way up. If you respond well to 10mg (no side effects) then go ahead and increase the dosage if you want.
Lot's of people find success with 20mg twice a day. Personally I prefer 20mg in the morning and 10mg in the afternoon. Both doses taken with meals.
You'll have to figure out the best dose for yourself through trial and error.It's better to take Noopept with a snack or a meal because the enzymes in your stomach that break down noopept get all used up on your food, allowing for better absorption of the Noopept. Lot's of people (including myself) started taking higher and higher doses of this stuff, but found that although it feels pretty good, it's not necessary and usually will end in negative side-effects.
Now I just stick to 10-30mg per day. And that works well for me. If you haven't done so yet, you might want to check out Noopept.com and use google translate to convert it to english. Lots of dosage info and FAQ on the site.
