I purchased some bulk powder nootropics and i dont have a milligram digital scale to measure the stuff. I only have a ml scoop

Its also impossible to find any relevant information such as molecule density etc, i really dont care if a couple of milligrams are off on my dosing.

I got Piracetam, Picamilon and CDP Choline.

I need to know how many mgs there are from each substance in a 1ml scoop

Electronic digital sales can be cheap. I paid $20 for one that works at 1/10 gram and does tare weighings.

I didn't have a scale for about 6 months taking nootropics. I finally broke down and got one, it really helps with standardizing your stack and like the above poster said it's around 20 bucks for accuracy to +-7mg's.

Piracetam is about 700mg/per 1/4 teaspoon. Which means 2.8-3gs per teaspoon. 1 teaspoon = 5ml. So 3g/5ml = 600mg/1ml

That's approximate, depending on how accurately you can measure powder volumetrically it will fluctuate a bit.

I've never taken the other two so can't help there. Good luck. Piracetam shouldn't matter too much since it's so non-toxic but for noot's with smaller dosage ranges you should really invest in a scale, for safety's sake.

To make significant gains with nootropics and using bulk powder, a digital scale is basically a necessity. Being a few milligrams off wouldn't matter, but with the various densities of powder, even a little inaccuracy in a scoop of piracetam can be like 400+mg. I know from measuring out powder and trying to eyeball it as I add it to the scale, a 1 gram difference is a very small margin. More significant than inaccurate dosing I think is the possibility of taking more than you need to, meaning it's costing you more than it should.

Anyway, there are a number of threads about Piracetam volumetric dosing and I have seen photos of measurements, but I don't think it's easy to track it down.

Indeed, there are several threads about this, and they're somewhat difficult to search for. Here's a few I remembered: [1] [2]. Sorry, but I couldn't remember or find any measurements for CDP-choline or picamilon.

If you think you'll be doing this a lot, a digital scale is very handy. Get one that reads at least to the hundredths of a gram (0.01). Some .1g scales have a distressing habit of reading 0 until you've piled on a something like .2 or .3, and could potentially be off by several hundred milligrams.

If you need a lead on the digital scale this one has .001 accuracy +-.005gs for a total of $23 including shipping
