Examine - Piracetam

A lot of the posts here advocate Piracetam as a nootropic in order to improve memory.
Examine.com is a common site used here to review supplements and people argue it's stringency.
In examine.com review of Piracetam it gave a low review of Piracetam for memory recall. What's up with that?

To quote Examine itself:
If it does enhance cognition significantly, it is possible that this is just from reversing small states of cognitive deficit.
That being said, it is a non-discriminate membrane fluidity preservative. This may also underlie how Piracetam is as effective as Aspirin at preventing blood clotting in older persons when taken as daily preventative medicine.
I believe Piracetam is not so much a Cognitive enhancer as it is a minor Longevity-enhancing agent; delaying age-related pathology in a non-specific and relatively weak manner. It is surprisingly non-toxic, so it might be a good health preserving agent if you have excess money to burn.
It's the original nootropic, and provides enhancement of membrane fluidity. Also, it's pretty cheap.
