How many of you respond to racetams but don't have ADD/ADHD?

Since this reddit seems to be mostly healthy, young people (even people with ADD/ADHD can be healthy with high IQs) would piracetam and other racetams slow down the natural mental decline or prevent deficiencies in the future as people age?
It's one reason I continue with piracetam and other noots even if there isn't an obvious effect, I want to STAY healthy for as long as possible. Hoping if I hit 60s, 70s,80s years old I can still remember things and safely drive my car. :) Just wishful thinking?

We do not have enough data for me to say with any certainty. It's possible that they will help slow age-related decline. We know taking them when you are older improves the symptoms. However, we do not have enough data to say whether or not they prevent the onset when used in healthy young people.
