Efficacy of pill vs powder form?

Original post in this thread

aeramor · 10 points

I've been using piracetam for a little over a year now (always in powder form) as well as a number of other racetams (again, always in powder form). Now, at the time this was largely because I couldn't afford the pill form instead of any specific preference. Recently my situation changed and I've been able to get everything in pill form as it's much more convenient to have at the office. The problem is, I don't really 'feel' the effects like I used to. Maybe it's all in my head but even after taking pills for awhile, switching back to powders I notice the effects again. Outside of a few of these being absorbed on the way down I can't really speculate as to why this would be.

Is it all in my head?

Has anyone else noticed something similar?

For reference my pill sources are:

CognitiveNutrition: (pramiracetam, aniracetam, piracetam)
Relentless Improvement: (piracetam)
Cerebral Health: (Epiphany (Oxi/Ani combo pill with other ingredients as well))
Smart Powders: (noopept) - oral dissolve tablets, just started taking these so jury is still out.

Powder sources:

SNS: (piracetam) - to this day my hands down favorite source but can't get it anymore
Hard Rhino: (piracetam)
Cerebral…

Check the photos, bottle says piracetam. I've also had aniracetam and am very familiar with its taste.

No, I am not saying you made a mistake. I am saying perhaps they did. So it does not taste like aniracetam? Do you believe that it could be flour?

Why should I spend additional money on suppliers that charge more than powdercity?

Have you actually even looked at the prices, or are you just assuming PC is lower? We are actually lower on certain things, and the exact same on others. In fact, we are half price on some things. Actually look at the pr

I've been using piracetam for over two years. AMA

No offense, but why are you posting this? You have been taking very low doses of piracetam, irregularly, without any real testing, and with very little experience with other Racetams. I don't want to sound like a dick, b

Phenylpiracetam would theoretically metabolize into phenibut, why does nobody ever mention this?

Interesting thought. However, phenylpiracetam is not metabolized in any meaningful amounts, and is excreted mostly unchanged in urine and sweat. Approximately 40% of the dose administered is excreted with urine, and abou
