Omberacetam (also known as
GVS-111 and
noopept[1]) is a
nootropic substance of the
racetam class. Omberacetam is promoted and prescribed in Russia and neighbouring countries as a
nootropic with neuroprotective properties.
Omberacetam is easily accessible through the use of online vendors as a legal dietary supplement in the U.S. and as a medication in other countries. It is growing in popularity due to its effectiveness as a cognitive enhancing compound and because its active dose range is between 10 and 30 mg, which is much lower than compounds that offer similar effects such as the
racetams. When compared to the traditional
racetams, omberacetam has been found to be, according to studies, 1000 times more potent than the prototypical racetam drug,
piracetam.
As a peptide, the oral bioavailability is very low.
Insufflation and
sublingual administration are sometimes preferred because its absolute bioaccessibility is on average 10%.
[2] To supplement omberacetam, it is recommended to take 10 – 30 mg once a day for up to 56 days at a time with extended breaks in between each period of usage.
