HelloPharmacist Scorecard of NooRacetam 800 by LifeLink

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

NooRacetam 800 is a single-ingredient capsule: piracetam at 800 mg per dose. Piracetam is a nootropic—a substance intended to support brain function.

The capsule also contains microcrystalline cellulose, a common filler.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Brain function and cognitive health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer disease, Memory, Dementia, Vascular dementia, Dyslexia — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Piracetam is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dyslexia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Piracetam is rated "Possibly Effective" for Vertigo.
  • Also on file: Piracetam is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer disease, Dementia, Memory, and more.

Piracetam carries a "Possibly Effective" rating for several conditions: tardive dyskinesia (involuntary movement disorder), breath-holding attacks, vertigo, epilepsy, recovery after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and dyslexia. These ratings mean there's preliminary evidence, but the data isn't conclusive enough to be certain.

It's worth discussing with your doctor whether piracetam is the right choice for your specific situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Piracetam

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Piracetam is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though it can cause constipation, stomach upset, high blood pressure, rash, or weight gain. Rarer side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, agitation, anxiety, behavioral changes, slurred speech, and sleep problems.

One case also reported unusually heavy menstrual bleeding. Avoid piracetam during pregnancy—there isn't enough safety data.

Also avoid it while breastfeeding, since it may pass into breast milk and safety is unknown. It's important to know that piracetam is a drug, not a true dietary supplement, and it's unapproved in the U.S., so product quality can vary.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Piracetam

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Piracetam.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Double-check this product before you start if you take any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs—warfarin, apixaban, dabigatran, aspirin, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, or similar medications. Piracetam can increase bleeding risk with these drugs, and that interaction is rated Major.

Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is piracetam safe to take during pregnancy?
No. There isn't enough safety data for pregnancy, so the data advises against it. Talk with your doctor before taking it if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Does piracetam actually work?

Why is piracetam called a drug and not a supplement?
Piracetam is a pharmaceutical agent, not a naturally derived supplement. It's also unapproved in the U.S., which means product quality can vary from brand to brand.
