 Colour recitam is a recitam drug that may have cognitive enhancing benefits, but is it really effective and is it safe? Well, let's find out. Hey friends, welcome back to my channel. My name is Greg and I'm a brain hacker creating content that will help you upgrade your brain performance. If you're interested then subscribe below and join our amazing community. Today we're going to be talking about colour recitam. We're going to look at the benefits, side effects, dosages and I'm going to tell you if you should consider supplementing it or not. Oh, and we'll also talk about its legal status. So if you're ready, let's just begin. Now colour recitam is a synthetic compound that was developed and patented in 2005 in Japan. It is a potent choline targeting supplement that boosts brain acetylcholine levels. Now acetylcholine as you probably know is a neuromodulator that is important for memory and even learning. So at least in theory, if you supplement colour recitam, you should have more brain power, better cognition, more memory and learning should be easier for you. But what did the studies say? Now initial studies show that colour recitam can improve memory in mice with damaged nerves. Now this led to further research of colour recitam for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease but no studies were ever published and that's why colour recitam was never used or at least it wasn't used so far for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Now more recently, colour recitam was used in studies to analyze its effects on depression and anxiety. Now a company that conducted those studies actually figured out that supplementing colour recitam can improve major depressive disorder and even help treating it by despite those promising effects, colour recitam is currently forbidden to use in most countries around the world. Now how exactly does colour recitam work? So firstly it works by improving choline uptake in the nerve cells via the choline uptake system and as you probably know, choline is a crucial compound that increases acetylcholine levels in the brain. Now the second way that colour recitam works is by decreasing the toxicity that is caused by glutamate. Now one study was done in humans who suffer from depression and this study showed that if you give people with depression 80 milligrams of colour recitam three times per day they have reduced depressive symptoms. So if those benefits are actually proven then this means that colour recitam is not only effective for improving cognitive performance but may also help people with depression and even anxiety. Now when we talk about the benefits as you can see due to the limited evidence available it's really hard to talk about them and say what can you really expect from colour recitam and what not. However based on the data from biohackers that have been testing and trying colour recitam they often talk about the following benefits improved memory, improved focus and attention, a better cognitive performance and more brain energy, more energy in general and even better motivation. In addition to that based on the survey that was done on Reddit with over 300 people you can see that colour recitam scores really high in terms of its effects on anxiety but even higher in terms of its effects on improving memory. So there is really something going on here.

So what about the daily dosage? So currently we don't know the optimal daily dosage also we don't know what's the dosage that is safe for long term use because we don't have such studies in healthy individuals. However based on the limited evidence available it seems that a dosage of 20 to 80 milligrams per day seems somehow optimal at least for short term use. Talking about the optimal dosage let's also mention the side effects. So based on the available research supplementing colour recitam seems safe for short term use and it also looks it is non-toxic. However we lack data long term studies that would show its effects in the long term. Now the most commonly mentioned side effects are mood disorders, fatigue and even brain fog. Even my understanding of how colour recitam works I think those side effects happen because people took too much of colon. Quite often people combine colon with alpha GPC and with cognizant and they even eat lots of meat which is high in colon or even eggs which are even higher in colon and this can cause the mentioned side effects. Now in addition to that colour recitam may interact with anti-colonergic drugs, with Parkinson's medication, with cough suppressants and so on. So even if you consider supplementing colour recitam do consult your doctor before doing that. By the way guys if you like this video please press the like button below. Should you consider supplementing colour recitam or not? Well based on the very very limited data available especially in healthy individuals I think right now you should avoid colour recitam. First of all it is illegal for use it's really hard to get online because of its legal status. We don't have any data, any long term data, we don't know what happens after months or years of supplementing it so because of all those factors I don't believe you should supplement colour recitam. Besides all the mentioned factors there are some really potent and safe metropics on the market that can provide very similar effects as colour recitam and if you want to learn more about them watch the video up here.
