Have you ever experienced a mental disorder during the key exams? Even times when it seems that you can't process any information in your mind? Don’t worry! 9-Me-BC nootropic can save you when you feel like your brain is sluggish in school or work! Let's take a closer look at it together!
What is the 9-ME-BC?
9-Me-BC is a nootropic drug supported by research as a cognitive enhancer. It (9-methyl-β-carboline), also known as 9-MBC, is a novel nootropic compound from the β-carboline group. β-Carbolines are from the heterocarboline family. β-carbolines (BCs) are derived from tryptophan and its endogenously formed derivatives in mammals and humans. These properties are present in human brain, cerebrospinal fluid and plasma.
This means that they can be produced both in the human body and in certain fruits, cooked meats, tobacco smoke and coffee.
The molecular formula is C12H10N2, and MBC stands for methyl-β-carboline.
9-MBC (9-Me-BC) is considered as a nootropic supplement because it is different from other nootropics whose benefits wear off after a few hours, while 9-Me-BC can provide long lasting effect.

What does the 9-ME-BC do?
9-Methyl-beta-carboline or 9-Me-BC powder is one of the pro-stimulants of cognitive function.
The chemical structure of 9-Me-BC consists of a benzene ring substituted with a piperidine group and a methyl group attached to carbon #8.
In the case of 9-Me-BC, the central nitrogen atom of the piperidine group is replaced by a carbon atom. This molecular structure change gives the drug the ability to enhance memory and cognition. In the brain, 5-HT1A receptors are located on neurons responsible for transmitting information to other neurons. When these receptors receive signals from other cells, they cause the regeneration and protection of neurons. When neurons fire, they send signals to other neurons in the brain, causing them to fire too.
Several animal studies and experiments in the laboratory have shown that carboline 9 can increase dopamine levels. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter associated with happiness, motivation, mood, memory, and attention. This maintains memory by inducing the growth of hippocampal dopaminergic neurons, providing protection to dendrites and synapses through upregulation and differentiation.
9-Me-BC also increases neurotrophic factors such as Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), SHH (Sonic Hedgehog Signaling Molecule), Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) to enhance cognitive function, focus and motivation.
It stimulates neuronal activity while also promoting the growth of new neurons. This enhances memory and learning as well as general cognitive function.
What’s more, 9MeBC also has anti-inflammatory effects by reducing inflammatory cytokines. It also inhibits microglial proliferation induced by treatment with toxins that disrupt cognitive function.

What's the benefit?
1. Improving learning, memory and cognition
9-Me-BC is able to stimulate neuronal activity and promote the growth of new neuronal cells. That's why it can enhance learning, memory, and general cognition.
It can also promote the production of ATP energy by enhancing the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Thus, increased energy increases motivation and alertness.
In a study on rats, 10 days of 9-Me-BC supplementation was found to improve spatial learning of mazes. According to the study, this is due to increased levels of dopamine in the formation of the hippocampus and its promotion of synapse and dendrite growth.

2. Can increase excitement
Dopaminergic compounds are known to increase dopamine levels in the brain. 9-Me-BC Nootropic compound is very dopaminergic.
Dopamine is secreted by the brain and can affect a person's mood. This brain endocrine is mainly responsible for the brain's lust, feeling, and the transmission of exciting and happy information.
And love is actually the result of a lot of dopamine being produced in the brain because of related people and things. So this in turn increases dopamine activity, which is closely related to libido.
Dopamine is the primary neurotransmitter that makes pleasure and satisfaction part of the reward system.
3. Can help fight inflammation
Inflammation is one of the body's natural mechanisms to fight infection or injury. However, chronic inflammation can take a toll on the body and has been linked to many diseases, such as diabetes and cancer, etc.
Therefore, it is necessary to curb this inflammation before it causes harm to the body.
Fortunately, 9-Me-BC powder fights inflammation by reducing inflammatory cytokines, which can help prevent chronic inflammation.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Risks
9-MBC is generally considered a safe dietary supplement. From studies in animals, 9-Me-BC has been found to be completely safe for ten days.
However, there are less data on long-term use of 9-Me-BC supplements, and clinical trials on this 9-Me-BC nootropic are very sparse.
Therefore, caution is advised when taking this nootropic to avoid any potential 9-Me-BC risks that may arise.
Side Effects
The following are known side effects of the product based on clinical trials and consumer experience.
1. Possible DNA damage
DNA damage after exposure to UVA rays is very likely due to photosensitivity. Therefore, to avoid this, it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight when using Carboline 9.
2. Possible dopamine neurotoxicity
Dopamine neurotoxicity may occur if the amount exceeds the maximum recommended dose of 9-Me-BC. Therefore, overdose should be avoided.
