Any comments? Seems pricey, but for those unwilling to cap the stuff themselves, or for those wanting to try it out, it seems like a good deal.

New user here, I bought some when I saw it out on smartpowders.com very recently. I should have it in today. I'll let you know if its any good.

Very good. Thank you Alphabum.

Well I got the CTD Labs noopept yesterday around 3ish and immediately opened up the bottle. Inside are 60 relatively big tablets consisting not just noopept but sugars too. Each tablet has around 10mg of N-phenylacetyl-L-prolyglycine ethy ester (actual noopept compound) and each tablet also contains a gram of sugar. (This is for some sort of acceptable taste if you wish to dissolve underneath the tongue. In this case its cherry flavored.)

Yesterday I took a tablet and swallowed it with the rest of my stack for now:

Multivitamin
Iron
Alpha GPC (300mg)
Aniracetam (750mg)
Noopept (10mg)
Caffeine (200mg)
Gingko Biloba + Rosemary

Keep in mind this is the first time I've tried out nootropics so this is all pretty new to me.

If anyones ever taken the workout supplement Jack3d, the effects were somewhat similar. However instead of a physical stimulant feeling, you can somehow feel it only in your head. It's a much less mild focus, but I feel it's much more efficient in retaining memory and visual data. I was much more focused in class and actually tried retaining all the information the professor talked about in my Quantum Mechanics class.

Today I kept the same dosage, but decided to dissolve the tablet underneath my tongue instead like one's technically directed to. Same outcome.

Interesting bit: Today while working out I noticed it was much easier to finish sets and getting more reps out of a higher weight. I was pleasantly surprised with the ease I had today working out. Not sure if directly linked to noopept or aniracetam but still pretty neat.

Unfortunately I didn't notice any of the visual or auditory effects like some users mention in the forum. Maybe I have to step up the dosage a bit more? I'll experiment and let you guys know.

Very interesting review Alphabum. You mentioned 60 tablets though. Really? I was under the impression that there were only 50 tablets.

[Alphabum]

Sorry, my mistake. It is indeed 50 tablets.

I'd love an update on this. I'm thinking of trying the Noopept from CTD Labs since it sounds so easy to use. But is it as effective as other forms? Please advise.

How is your stack without the high dosage caffeine?

[Introspecta]

Right now its at the same price as Cerebral price@ 25 bucks for 5 grams as opposed to 10 grams for 50bucks of powder at Cerebral. Now that i'm getting used to measuring doses I don't mind so either way would be fine. I wonder if the quality is any different. I doubt it.

Anybody else has the CTD labs noopept version(from smartpowders)? It is amazingly powerful compared to the genuine Russian tablets, but you have to let it dissolve in the mouth (luckily it has cherry flavour). I was surprised at the stimulant buzz it gave me and the intense focus.

It's almost suspicious (but pleasant :-) Anybody else got the same experience that noopept differs so much across brands?

Edit: this sounds like spam, but really, I'm surprised/concerned about the difference and wonder if it is because of the brand or the sublingual delivery. They do claim "superior delivery", which I ignored, until, well, ... Any feedback appreciated.

Will you tell us more about what you felt from the CTD. Also, were there any side effects?

Little update:

I ran out of the CTD Labs tablets pretty fast so I looked around to buy some more. I ordered 10 grams of Noopept from Cerebral Health because it was only 2x more in cost (~$50) but you got a lot more for your money vs the half a gram of Noopept you get with CTD Labs for around $25.

The Cerebral Health noopept indeed works, same kind of stimulant/buzzed/focused feeling, but you have to take a lot more than 10mg to achieve the same advertised 10mg in the CTD Labs tablet. The cerebral noopept amounts to around 50mg - 100mg to get the same feeling. Even though this is true, you still end up saving a lot of money going the Cerebral Health route. I ordered it around a month or 2 ago and I still have over half the bag left.

Cons: Jesus Christ this Cerebral Health noopept tastes like shit compared to the overpowering cherry taste of the CTD tabs. I mix it with water in one of those little dixie cups and it tastes like you just filled your mouth with Clorox, even though you took a tiny sip. I strongly suggest taking this with some sort of strong juice or soft drink.

Long term reflection: I really think my long term memory has gotten a lot better. Things I could never remember before can be recited naturally in front of my professor like I was just looking at the information 5 minutes ago. Kinda cool.

If you've got the money, CTD tablets are a lot more practical as you can take it whenever you want throughout the day and it won't end up making you make weird faces as if you would trying to down the Cerebral Health clorox taste in class or in front of peers. If you want a hell of a lot more bang for your buck though, get a powdered form like Cerebral Health for cheap.

As for my stack without the caffine question, it still works but I need at least 200mg in the morning or I'll be pretty tired. You'll still get the focused feeling with Noopept even if you don't take it (I tried), but a 200mg dose of caffeine makes everything a lot better.
