Can Young Adults Use Galantamine?

Q Would a galantamine supplement help increase cognitive function in a young, healthy, adult male? What if one takes it with vinpocetine and piracetam? What is the recommended dosage?

A Adults of any age may find galantamine useful to help increase cognitive functioning and prevent decline. It would be fine to add Vinpocetine and piracetam as well, but I would suggest getting used to one substance at a time before adding another, just so you have a sense of how each is helping you perform mental tasks. With a galantamine supplement, start at 4 mg per day and work up slowly to 8–16 mg/day or more, depending on your age.
