Noopept: FDA status and what is known

What is noopept?

Noopept (omberacetam, GVS-111) is a small synthetic molecule built from two amino acids, developed at the Zakusov Institute of Pharmacology in Moscow as a dipeptide version of the nootropic piracetam. It is not approved for human use in the US.

Also known as: omberacetam, GVS-111, N-phenylacetyl-L-prolylglycine ethyl ester.

US products

There is no FDA-approved noopept product, so there are no US label strengths to list.

Approval status and how it is used

Noopept is not approved for human use in the US. A 2021 study (Cohen) bought cognitive supplements labeled as containing omberacetam and other unapproved drugs and tested them: several drugs found were not on the label, several listed drugs were missing, most stated amounts were wrong, and some products would give up to four times a typical drug dose per serving.

Its developers describe it as orally active (Gudasheva 2018). A Russian study found that people clear it more slowly than rats or rabbits, with wide differences between people (Boiko 2004), but the summary gives no numbers. If you take prescription medicines, ask your prescriber or pharmacist before adding it.

Noopept half-life and time to peak

  • Half-lifeNot listed
  • Time to peak (Tmax)Not listed
  • Route in Dose TrackBy mouth (oral)

The human pharmacokinetic study we found (Boiko 2004, in Russian) reports slower elimination in people than in animals and wide variation between people, but its summary gives no half-life or time to peak. So we do not list the app's modeling values (1 hour and 15 minutes).

How to track noopept in Dose Track

  1. Add noopept from the built-in list. It sits next to everything else you take, so a GLP-1, TRT and a few peptides all live in one log.
  2. Log each tablet when you take it, including split or fractional tablets, so your history shows exactly what you took and when.
  3. Set reminders on your own schedule, whether that is daily, weekly or every few days.
  4. Your log is stored on your phone and no account is needed. Data only leaves it for features you choose, like AI answers and lab reading.

Frequently asked questions

What is the half-life of noopept?+
The human pharmacokinetic study we found (Boiko 2004, in Russian) reports slower elimination in people than in animals and wide variation between people, but its summary gives no half-life or time to peak. So we do not list the app's modeling values (1 hour and 15 minutes).
Can I track noopept in Dose Track?+
Yes. Noopept is built into Dose Track. You can log each tablet next to your other compounds, set reminders on your own schedule, and see your history next to your lab results. Your log is stored on your phone and no account is needed. Data only leaves it for features you choose, like AI answers and lab reading.
