Aniracetam is a nootropic supplement or smart drug which was developed in the 1970's. This compound is part of a class of nootropics known as Racetams, which are noted for their ability to promote cognitive function and increase cholinergic neurotransmission. Aniracetam also exhibits an anxiolytic effect (meaning that it reduces feelings of anxiety) and is purported to enhance mood alongside memory and focus.
