Improves Mood

Noopept can also help improve mood, making it a potential therapeutic option for certain mental health disorders:
1. In rats with neurosis, a mental illness characterized by stress, depression, anxiety, and obsessive behavior, Noopept administration reduced the incidence of learned helplessness. [24]
2. Long-term Noopept administration (21 days) significantly eliminated the manifestations of learned helplessness compared to the anti-anxiety drug Afobazol. [25]
3. Chronic administration (28 days, 0.5 mg/day via injections) of Noopept improved behavior by decreasing the activity of stress-induced kinases (involved in mental disorders) and increasing the levels of BDNF. [26]
