A Neuroscientist Shares The Most Important Supplement To ‘Reverse Memory Loss’: Aniracetam

Memory loss can be a frustrating and concerning issue, often linked to aging, stress, or even nutritional deficiencies. While a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular mental exercises, plays a crucial role in maintaining cognitive function, certain supplements may help support brain health and even reverse memory loss.

Neuroscientist Dr. Robert Love recently revealed the one drug he recommends for reversing memory loss—Aniracetam. Here’s what you need to know.

Aniracetam is a nootropic compound known for its potential cognitive-enhancing effects, particularly in memory and learning. As part of the racetam family, it is believed to work by modulating neurotransmitters like acetylcholine and glutamate, which play essential roles in brain function. Research suggests that aniracetam may help improve recall, enhance focus, and even reverse memory loss by supporting neuroplasticity and protecting neurons from age-related decline.

“This drug reverses memory loss in double-blind placebo-controlled studies,” he says.

In the study, “They had people with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, and they gave them either aniracetam or a placebo. Three and six months later, those who took aniracetam had better memories. In fact, the memory was better than the baseline. That’s how powerful it is.”

He notes that this drug is available to adults without a prescription, and it can even benefit healthy adults who are looking to improve their memory.

Love takes his with a B complex vitamin, alpha GPC, which is a “precursor to acetylcholine. Aniracetam increases acetylcholine, and this helps make aniracetam more effective.” He also recommends taking it with fat such as MCT oil. “This increases the absorption of aniracetam,” he adds.
