Tianeptine is an anxiolytic compound, primarily used for its mood boosting and anti-anxiety properties [1]. Tianeptine has nootropic abilities in regards to individuals whose cognition is negatively impacted by mood disorders [2]. It has the ability to improve focus and concentration in individuals who have poor attention spans as well [3].
Benefits and Effects
The primary benefits of tianeptine powder are mood enhancement and a reduction in anxiety. tianeptine can also improve cognition in individuals suffering from anxiety and mood disorders. [2].
Tianeptine’s anxiolytic effects does not negatively impact acetylcholine or cardiovascular function, making tianeptine an excellent option for the elderly as well as otherwise healthy adults [1, 4].
Tianeptine is also an effective analgesic (painkiller), even for individuals suffering from chronic pain [9]. It is an effective method for attenuating symptoms related to intestinal health issues as well [10].
How Tianeptine Works
Tianeptine boosts mood through one of two mechanisms. Tianeptine may enhance serotonin re-uptake. However, more recent research indicates its function as an AMPA and glutamate receptor modulator is the more likely explanation [4, 5].
Of these explanations, the latter of the two also explicates the nootropic properties of tianeptine as it alters neuroplasticity and secretes brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). BDNF is a protein released in the brain that ensures the survival and proliferation of neurons [5, 6, 7, 8].
Dosage
A recommended dosage of tianeptine is one red micro scoop (12.5mg) up to three times daily.
Side Effects
Common side effects include dry mouth, insomnia, and headaches [11]. Tianeptine has significantly fewer side effects with newer (extended release) research chemical versions becoming available as the popularity increases. Unlike many other anxiolytic compounds, tianeptine does not cause sedation [4]. Similarly, when compared to other intestinal health remedies, tianeptine causes fewer adverse reactions [10].
