Adrafinil is a eugeroic that was formerly used in France to promote alertness, attention, wakefulness, mood, and other parameters, particularly in the elderly. Adrafinil has a molecular weight of 289.35 g/mol and a chemical formula of C15H15NO3S. It was also used off-label by individuals who wished to avoid fatigue, such as night workers or others who needed to stay awake and alert for long periods of time. Additionally, “adrafinil is known to a larger nonscientific audience, where it is considered to be a nootropic agent.”
Adrafinil powder does not last forever. It is thought to have a shelf life of around two years, after which time you should not consume the substance.
