Phenibut XT can be summarized as a cost effective, single ingredient product
that has a wide variety of uses. Phenibut (beta-phenyl-gamma-aminobutyric
acid) was discovered in Russia during the 1960’s. It is a derivative of the
neurotransmitter GABA and is capable of passing the blood brain barrier.
Phenibut is regarded as a nootropic for its ability to have an affect of various
neurological functions. It is a gamma receptor agonist and also causes the
release of GABA.
Phenibut is commonly used for:
- Anxiety
- Social Anxiety/Social Behavior
- Improved Stress Levels
- Insomnia and Restful Sleep
- Mood & Relaxation
- Improved Sense of Well Being
- Improved Awareness and Concentration
- Intellectual Function
- Fatigue Reduction
Phenibut XT’s effects can be dosage dependant, with the typical effects of
phenibut being felt in 1.5 to 2 hours, although some people notice effects
sooner. Tolerance can develop to some of the effects of phenibut, although
it is reported by many that it does not develop to the nootropic effect.
To prevent tolerance from occurring, many people take phenibut for durations of
no more than 2 weeks, followed by an equal time off. Alternatively, some
individuals simply do not use phenibut everyday, depending on the purpose of
usage.
As a Short Term Sleep Aid – average dosing is 1 to 2 capsules approximately 2
hours before bedtime. Since Phenibut is reported to help produce longer, deeper
sleep, it is suggested that when taken for this purpose that it should be taken
around 10 hours before anticipated waking time until individual response is
assessed. For Mild Anxiety – average dosing is 1 capsule 2 – 3 times per
day in between meals for periods of up to two weeks, followed by a week to two
week break. For Acute Bouts of Anxiety – average dosing is 1 to 2 capsules
2 – 3 times per day. Note that we cannot recommend exceeding 4 caps total per
day. When used for this purpose, it is generally used for periods of several
days followed by a week to 10 day break.
