- Pyritinol is a substance belonging to the group of nootropics.
- Pyritinol improves the pathologically reduced metabolism in the brain by increasing uptake and utilization of glucose, nucleic acid metabolism, cortical acetylcholine release and cholinergic transmission. This results in improved blood fluidity and increases cerebral microcirculation in regions with deficient blood flows in the brain.
