Picamilon

Picamilon is a supplement with a whole range of benefits. I initially became interested in picamilon as a nootropic supplement, but upon further research, I discovered it does much more than provide cognitive benefits. Picamilon is truly a unique supplement due to it having so many positive effects that cover a wide spectrum. After learning about what picamilon can do and the results users were having, I could not believe it was not more well known. It has the ability to improve your cognitive performance, decrease anxiety and stress, and have a positive effect on your energy level. It really seems like a wonder drug. It does sound too good to be true, but user feedback certainly seems to back up its stated benefits, however (as you will learn more about below), your desired effects from picamilon are dose dependent, and not all users will have the same experience.

Picamilon is also known as nicotinoyl-gamma-aminobutyric acid. What that very complicated name specifies is that picamilon is a combination of niacin and GABA. The origin of picamilon goes back to the Soviet Union in 1969 when it was created by the All-Union Vitamins Scientific Research Institute.

Niacin is also known as vitamin B3 and nicotinic acid. It is a vitamin that is found in a variety of foods, such as liver, fish, beef and chicken. Niacin deficiency is not very common in developed countries due to its sufficient presence in our diets. However, some people supplement with niacin due to its positive effect on cholesterol levels and condition of blood vessels. In the case of picamilon, niacin serves two very important roles:It is a potent vasodilator,It has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (and take GABA along for the ride).

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in our central nervous system. So, if we can increase our levels of GABA in the brain, the result will be a “calming” effect on our nervous system. This can lead to a decrease in stress and anxiety. The problem is that supplementing exclusively with GABA is not very effective since it cannot cross the blood-brain barrier. While GABA can be produced in the brain by the conversion of glutamate, it is much more effective and efficient to directly transport it by a carrier that is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. That is where the niacin in picamilon comes into play.

With picamilon, it is the synergy of niacin and GABA that produces its stellar results. When picamilon is taken as an oral supplement, it crosses over from the blood into the brain and is then broken down into niacin and GABA. These two substances can then work together in the brain to provide its wonderful spectrum of benefits.
