Lucidril

What is Lucidril?

Lucidril is actually a brand name of Centrophenoxine, a powerful form of choline. It is a branded form of the nootropic compound, meaning it is not a different substance, but instead just a company’s stack form of Centrophenoxine and Meclofenoxate. Centrophenoxine is most often used as a “smart drug” of sorts, as well as for use as a choline source when taking more powerful nootropic drugs, such as Piracetam, Aniracetam or Phenylpiracetam. Unlike many other so-called “smart drugs” Lucidril is completely safe and does not require a prescription from your doctor in order to get.

Lucidril Benefits

Benefits of Lucidril are comparable to that of Centrophenoxine. It is a mixture of DMAE and PCPA, which both have studied backing them that show they may help promote much of the same benefits as DMAE. Lucidril is typically used to improve mood, memory, and focus, serve as a choline source when taking stronger drugs, and helps to promote healthy skin…among other effects.

Lucidril Effects

Lucidril effects are very notable, and many studies about the drug, in a clinical trial setting, demonstrate that they may have a neuroprotective effect. Lucidril, as its name may help to imply, may help one to become more “lucid” not in dreaming, but in overall clarity of thought. Neuroprotective effects of Lucidril typically help to aid in the regeneration and preservation of neurons. Common Centrophenoxine stacks are:

• Lucidril and Piracetam
• Lucidril and Aniracetam
• Lucidril and Pramiracetam

Lucidril Dosage

A typical dosage of Lucidril (Centrophenoxine) is going to range from 4 to 1500 milligrams, taken 1-3 times daily. A number of factors will serve to influence what amount of Centrophenoxine is taken on a day by day basis. Some of these factors may include, other smart drugs that the user is taking, tolerance to Lucidril, how long the user has been taking this supplement for, the age, weight and overall health of the individual, and how strong of an effect an individual is trying to achieve in taking Lucidril.

Lucidril vs Centrophenoxine

When comparing Lucidril vs Centrophenoxine, be sure to bear in mind that these two supplements are actually the same drug and that Lucidril is simply a brand name for Centrophenoxine. Centrophenoxine can be very powerful, and can sometimes have cumulative effects if the drug is taken on a long-term, regular and continuous basis. With this being said, short-term is always the way to go when supplementing with any nootropic drug.

Lucidril vs Meclofenoxate

Lucidril is a brand name of Centrophenoxine, it is simply the same compound, packaged and boxed up by an online supplement company. Meclofenoxate is the actual chemical name of Centrophenoxine and refers to the name that researchers and scientists call the drug. When seeing each of these names in online stores, don’t get confused (as it is sometimes easy to get when shopping for nootropics) as they’re both the exact same thing!

Lucidril as a Choline Source

As a choline source, Centrophenoxine is extremely powerful and unique. Lucidril, as it is also called, is a form of choline that also maintains many of the same ingredients and effects as DMAE. It is basically a combination supplement stack that can be compared to two smart drugs, Choline and DMAE. Centrophenoxine, while not the most powerful nootropic on the market (or even choline source for that matter, Alpha GPC Choline is the most powerful) is certainly one of the most unique. Lucidril, despite what its name may imply, is not a super clarity supplement, or a “Lucid Dreaming Supplement” (checkout Galantamine for that), but instead just a very powerful, unique form of choline.

Safety Concerns 

Long-term use of this supplement, while not typically recommended by most nootropics blogs, actually has research behind it that it is relatively safe. Centrophenoxine, as a choline source, is actually similar in nature to something like Fish Oil or CDP Choline. It has a fantastic nootropic effect, but as far as risk goes, it’s as safe as fish oil. So while I don’t typically recommend this (and even as I say its safe, I still don’t recommend this) you can take Lucidril on a more long-term regular basis than that of some other more risky nootropics on the market.

There are barely any to be entirely honest with you. In fact at the time of writing this blog post I’m having to go on Google and research what the dangers of centrophenoxine are (I typically just write these posts off the top of my head..its a lot easier and way more fun) but I can’t honestly think of any dangers of Centrophenoxine, or “super fish oil” as I like to call it (trademarked*). So here’s what Google has to say:

Lucidril (Centrophenoxine), if you take way, way too much, for way, way too long, here’s what can happen (but won’t..)

• stomach upset
• headaches
• jitters
• dehydration
• irritability
• jaw clenching

Again, stick to normal doses and you should be fine.

Lucidril Legal Status

Lucidril is 100% legal worldwide (or at least I can’t think of any countries that would outlaw choline.) If you’re international and worried that it’s banned in your country..email us or give it a google, but we’ve shipped way worse stuff to way stricter countries than super fish oil (lol) so you really shouldn’t have a problem.

Research on Lucidril

Lucidril (Centrophenoxine) actually has a crazy amount of research to back its effectiveness. Most say that Lucidril has effects that model either:

• Choline sources, such as Fish Oil
• A potent antioxidant supplement

Final Thoughts

Lucidril has lots of amazing nootropic benefits, and as a brand name of Centrophenoxine, something like regular Centrophenoxine from a nootropics company (like me!) is actually a much better alternative. Be sure to checkout Centrophenoxine in our nootropics store, its a personal favorite nootropic of mine because of its super powerful effects with regards to mood, memory, focus, and as a choline source.
