Interesting compound. We have probably not heard much about it:
āOwing to its Russian origin, approval was not obtained for its usage in the United States or Europe.ā
Oddly, it is available from our friend Amazon.

Genuine product of Pharmasoft Made in Russia, Drug Facts information Included
āThis includes antihypoxic, neuroprotective and cardioprotective effects, along with pharmacokinetic benefits such as the ability to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB), owing to its relatively small size and low molecular weight.ā
āEmoxypine was seen to increase collateral coronary blood flow without significantly altering the systemic arterial blood pressureā
āThe antidepressant action of Emoxypine has been widely studied in animal models. In an experimental setup designed by Volchegorskii et al.,ā
āit has been observed to exert a potent antioxidant effectā

Iāve recently started taking this, as a powder. Itās very sour! I got it from here:
Havenāt noticed results, but itās been only a few days.

Thanks for the tip. I donāt plan on taking it at this time, but thanks for being the Guinea pig.
Nootropic Source has some products not typically found at other nootropic vendors. 
I hope they stay in business.
I am constantly surprised at how on the cutting edge this site is. If itās new and even remotely available you will find it here.

Its a fine line between cutting edge and bleeding edgeā¦
I think the key thing in trying new things in terms of longevity is testing to make sure things are not going too far off the rails before you adjust the trajectory.

@lukegadget Why are you taking it, and how will you determine if it helps you?
Iām interested in this after seeing the link to it here. It does seem to have some fascinating properties, especially as an anti-oxidant with good safety profile and minimal reported side effects. Iām particularly interested in the cardioprotective properties given my recent and rather frightening ApoB results, and family history.
Itās often mentioned as an anxiolytic, though that at least isnāt an issue for me.
Here are a couple links and I recommend reading all the way through. A couple āsideā details I thought interesting were improved performance on the swimming rat (ālearned helplessnessā) test and reduced lactate after exertion.
(this is the link @desertshores posted earlier)
@desertshores yes I like nootropicsource - professional, not gaudy interface, no breathless promotion or affiliate links. Many interesting products (I do like to buy powders when I can, to save money and minimize extra stuff in pills). Their products seem pricey but excellent quality.
Iāll share any interesting results, but tbh I very rarely feel anything from any substance (with a few exceptions, some notable) which is why I sometimes tend toward rather freewheeling Guinea Pigism.

When I follow the link and try to select 25g, my antivirus BitDefender claims it blocked a link with an embedded Trojan:

Sounds like their site may have been hacked - I would avoid it (Iāve replaced the link above with just an image).,
Well darn. I have multiple layers of protection and didnāt get an alert - maybe itās recent. Iāll stay away for the time being - maybe send them that alert via email.
I too, have several layers including paid protection. I visited the site with no warnings.
I emailed them, and got a reply almost immediately (another reason I like them - they actually read emails):
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are making changes and updates to the website so could have been received in error or it has already been resolved. Either way, we will bring it to our dev teams attention immediately to look into it.
I think itās a transient issue. Give it a day or two to be on the safe side.
