Is there any evidence that Piracetam improves the mental performance of young adults (16-21)? If so, I would love sources. Furthermore, does any credible source recommend this drug for people in this age group? This is really important information for me. Thank you in advance.

I suppose that the silenece speaks for itself. No one here knows of any solid research affirming Piracetam's effectiveness in healthy teenagers. This is dissapointing, especially considering that Piracetam has been invented almost 50 years ago, so there should have been sufficient time for such evaluations.

You could always look for yourself. There is quite a bit of information not only on this board, but many other places throughout the internet.

Yes, but I don't want anecdotal reports, I want studies. I looked and found nothing.

There is an entire list of studies in the Research section showing the benefits of piracetam on healthy people. Is there some particular reason you are interested in only teenagers? The effects of piracetam aren't age-related, from everything that I know about it.

exigentsky you fail to understand 2 things.....

1. Rarely are there never studies done on healthy humans if not kids...why?...well what money can be made from such a study if it can't be FDA approved.

2. If you understood the biochemical effects piracetam has on the brain (both healthy, old, and diseased) you would know it is of great benefit to anyone at any age.

I know, #1 is true and I agree with you, that's why I didn't expect a lot of studies. But I would expect some curious scientists willing to undertake that purely for research. I only wanted 1 study.

Curious scientists need money to back studies, and that money can run into tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
