He says that it's become easier to concentrate, the memory problems that have started are gone. I very much hope that Noopept will help her to do her favorite thing for as long as possible.
Timothy. I consumed two tablets a day-work obliges, and I do not sleep well, and I began to think slowly at all. They advised Noopept, I still drink - the brain activity is better, the memory is stronger, I really like it.
Alina. The effect is. My grandmother improved memory after a month of constant reception of Noopept. If before taking pills she was sometimes confused as the name of the household (I called her sister's name and vice versa), now everything has become much better. The names do not confuse, the water does not forget to turn off, even remembered by heart the mobile phone number of the mother - obvious progress.
Eugene. With Noopept's help I managed to overcome anxiety and fear, began to sleep soundly, although earlier in the night I already shook. Depression and panic attacks have already exhausted me, I began to be treated at the insistence of the therapist. It's much better, I'm continuing the course.
