YouTube video (How To Use Smart Drugs) in which Ben Greenfield demonstrates a potent nootropic blend and dosing protocol for acute cognitive enhancement. He describes measuring and combining 1.5 grams piracetam, 0.75 grams aniracetam, and 0.5 grams (500 mg) Alpha GPC, for a total ~2.75 grams, and ingesting the powder directly followed by water. The presenter notes he does not recommend regular use and treats this as an occasional "big guns" approach.

Hey, I'm Ben Greenfield, and today we're going to talk about smart drugs. Now, I don't recommend using these things on a regular basis, but every once in a while, you got to break out the big guns. Now, I didn't sleep too much last night. Got up this morning, got my workout in. I've got about six hours of hardcore work coming up right now.
So I'm going to show you one.
Of the really potent blends of smart drugs that, that I use to amp up my cognitive performance in times of need.
So the first part of this that.
You'Re going to need is you get a digital spin. You can get these on, like, Amazon.
I don't use an encapsulation machine because I just dump it into my mouth. I'm hardcore like that. Okay, so this is Piracetam. I'm going to put a link to.
All this stuff over@BenGreenfieldFitness.com smartdrugs but what.
You want to do is start off with about 1.5 grams of piracetam and you can just measure that out using this scale. I'm pretty good. That was just a little bit much, but 1.6. Okay. So the next thing that you add is half that for aniracetam. The racetams are very, very good at stepping up neuronal activity. They, in my opin, have a ton.
Of.
Long term research on them, which is why I use them sparingly. But man, oh, man, you will perform like a million bucks from a brain level once you start into this stuff. So I put 0.75 grams of aniracetam in. Now, what happens is once your brain starts to feel fire at the higher rate that it's going to start firing, once you put the racetams in, you're going to pretty rapidly deplete choline. So the last thing that you want.
Is Alpha gpc, which is one of.
The more potent forms of choline for Alpha GPC. For this blend, 0.5 grams or 500 milligrams. So it's 1.5 of piracetam, 0.75 of aniracetam and 0.5 of Alpha GPC.
So your total once you get all this in there is basically piracetam, aniracetam, and alpha GPC for a total of about 2.75.
Grams.
Now, I literally just dump this into my mouth and I'll hold this for about 30 seconds and chase it with a glass of water. So that's it. Head over to BenGreenfieldFitness com SmartDrugs Bon appetit.
