TL;DR
Some racetams work; effects vary, not as effective as claimed.

Do Racetams Actually Work? Short answer: Some work, but most are overhyped. Here's a quick breakdown of popular racetams: • Phenylpiracetam: This one has real stimulant effects, but you can build tolerance quickly. • Aniracetam: May boost mood and uplift your spirits. It’s fat-soluble and effects are subtle. • Oxiracetam: Provides mild alertness and clean focus. It's better than piracetam for sure. • Piracetam: Not very effective unless taken in mega doses (3-5g+). Generally underwhelming for healthy individuals. Important Note: Many people report needing choline (like CDP/Alpha-GPC) to avoid headaches. Bottom Line: Some users experience noticeable focus and memory boosts, while others feel nothing at all. They're not complete nonsense, but don’t buy into the “limitless” hype. If you're curious, experiment but do it methodically.
