Speaker (Jeffrey Jaime, CISSP) describes piracetam as anti-hypoxic, anxiolytic, and a nootropic that increases cerebral blood flow and brain oxygenation, and argues it has multiple mechanisms making it a top nootropic ingredient. The speaker also highlights phosphatidylcholine as a cholinergic agent that raises brain acetylcholine, can improve memory in people with cognitive dysfunction or dementia, and may be useful or even protective in concussion/TBI when present at time of injury.

So, for example, piracetam, it's anti hypoxic, it's anxiolytic, and it's a nootropic. So not only is it working to increase blood flow to the brain, increase oxygen for the brain, but also to decrease stress and anxiety and act as a nootropic for improved cognitive function. So piracetam has a wide variety of mechanisms of action, which is why I think piracetam is one of the best nootropic type of ingredients out there. Phosphatidylcholine is another one that ranks really high, has what's called a cholinergic mechanism of action. They have shown that the administration of that to humans with cognitive dysfunction and dementia increases the concentration of acetylcholine in the brain and improves memory. So this can actually be used for brain deficits in a situation such as concussion or tbi. It may even have a protective effect, which a lot of these do. If it's in the system when you get the head injury.
