Are Nootropics bad for children??
Original post in this thread

I am asking in more regards to a teenage brain(15), but tell me about children too. Are nootropics bad for developing brains? Or maybe since developing brains are more malleable, nootropics may have an even better effect?
I am asking specifically in regards to:
Piracetam
Modafinil
Vinpocetine
but also, too most nootropic stacks in general. Any thoughts?

Depends on the stack. My kid's been on the uridine stack, via her mother, since conception.
She started talking at 5 weeks old..
I guess the rat studies scale up.
# Edit: a message to the people that have decided to anonymously downvote all of my comments in this thread:
I'm a little surprised that a /r/nootropics subscriber, such as yourself, isn't a little more open-minded to the concept that nootropics actually work - especially when the most efficient development gains are likely going to be realised at the earliest stages in life, hence the reason we decided to try this.
I've got nothing to gain by lying about this and my contributions and well-standing in the nootropics community over the years should give you some confidence in that respect.

If I ever have a child, I will put him on the uridine stack as well. I will name him Magnus. Then we can compare results! A second data point will be useful.
It's going to take me some time to set everything up, though. I hear babies take a little bit to create.
