What is Phenylpiracetam?
Phenylpiracetam – also known as Phenotropil and Carphedon - is a powerful nootropic that was originally developed in Russia in 1983. It is considered to be a stimulatory nootropic that improves physical stamina, and as a result it is popular among students, fitness enthusiasts, and athletes. Phenylpiracetam is derived from the prototypical racetam piracetam; however, the addition of a phenyl (benzene) ring makes Phenylpiracetam 30 to 60 times more potent than piracetam, partly due to its enhanced bioavailability. Due to its psycho-stimulatory and cold resistance properties, it is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency and therefore its use in international sport is prohibited.
Phenylpiracetam was largely ignored outside of Russia until 2008 when it was reported that the Russian athlete Roman Usov pulled out of the Beijing Olympics after testing positive for Phenylpiracetam. Since then Phenylpiracetam has received widespread attention – particularly in the nootropic community – and its wide variety of positive effects are becoming better understood.
