Phenibut or Beta-Phenyl-Y-Aminobutyric Acid is a phenyl derivative of the naturally occurring neurotransmitter GABA (γ-Aminobutyric acid (4-Aminobutyric acid)). Phenibut was initially developed in the 1960s in Russia as an anti-anxiety (anxiolytic) drug with cognitive enhancing properties. It has since attracted a strong following of users in the “smart drug” market, with claims of boosting memory recall and exam performance. It’s one of the most effective nootropics or smart drugs, thanks to its proven ability to improve neurological functions. Phenibut is used for anxiety, fear, trouble sleeping (insomnia), tension, stress, fatigue, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, alcoholism, and irregular heartbeat. It is also used for improving memory, learning, and thinking.
