Interesting compound. We have probably not heard much about it:
âOwing to its Russian origin, approval was not obtained for its usage in the United States or Europe.â
Oddly, it is available from our friend Amazon.

âThis includes antihypoxic, neuroprotective and cardioprotective effects, along with pharmacokinetic benefits such as the ability to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB), owing to its relatively small size and low molecular weight.â
âEmoxypine was seen to increase collateral coronary blood flow without significantly altering the systemic arterial blood pressureâ
âThe antidepressant action of Emoxypine has been widely studied in animal models. In an experimental setup designed by Volchegorskii et al.,â
âit has been observed to exert a potent antioxidant effectâ

Iâve recently started taking this, as a powder. Itâs very sour! I got it from here:
Havenât noticed results, but itâs been only a few days.

Thanks for the tip. I donât plan on taking it at this time, but thanks for being the Guinea pig.
Nootropic Source has some products not typically found at other nootropic vendors. 
I hope they stay in business.
I am constantly surprised at how on the cutting edge this site is. If itâs new and even remotely available you will find it here.

Its a fine line between cutting edge and bleeding edgeâŠ
I think the key thing in trying new things in terms of longevity is testing to make sure things are not going too far off the rails before you adjust the trajectory.

@lukegadget Why are you taking it, and how will you determine if it helps you?
Iâm interested in this after seeing the link to it here. It does seem to have some fascinating properties, especially as an anti-oxidant with good safety profile and minimal reported side effects. Iâm particularly interested in the cardioprotective properties given my recent and rather frightening ApoB results, and family history.
Itâs often mentioned as an anxiolytic, though that at least isnât an issue for me.
Here are a couple links and I recommend reading all the way through. A couple âsideâ details I thought interesting were improved performance on the swimming rat (âlearned helplessnessâ) test and reduced lactate after exertion.
(this is the link @desertshores posted earlier)
@desertshores yes I like nootropicsource - professional, not gaudy interface, no breathless promotion or affiliate links. Many interesting products (I do like to buy powders when I can, to save money and minimize extra stuff in pills). Their products seem pricey but excellent quality.
Iâll share any interesting results, but tbh I very rarely feel anything from any substance (with a few exceptions, some notable) which is why I sometimes tend toward rather freewheeling Guinea Pigism.

When I follow the link and try to select 25g, my antivirus BitDefender claims it blocked a link with an embedded Trojan:
âWe blocked this dangerous page for your protection:

Sounds like their site may have been hacked - I would avoid it (Iâve replaced the link above with just an image).,
Well darn. I have multiple layers of protection and didnât get an alert - maybe itâs recent. Iâll stay away for the time being - maybe send them that alert via email.
I too, have several layers including paid protection. I visited the site with no warnings.
I emailed them, and got a reply almost immediately (another reason I like them - they actually read emails):
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are making changes and updates to the website so could have been received in error or it has already been resolved. Either way, we will bring it to our dev teams attention immediately to look into it.
I think itâs a transient issue. Give it a day or two to be on the safe side.
