Ingredients Label

Brain and Memory Boost

The tablets contain no corn, dairy, lactose, wheat, gluten, sugars, yeast, preservatives, artificial colours or flavours.

Active Ingredients

Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo Biloba extract has been shown to increase cognitive performance and memory in humans (1, 2) as well as consistent effects in reducing cognitive decline in the elderly (3).

It may also improve accuracy and speed of arithmetic tasks (1).

The effective dose for a short-term cognitive boost is 6,000-12,000mg of Ginkgo leaf, taken 1-4 hours before performance.

For reducing cognitive decline in older adults, three doses of 2,000-6,000mg should be taken daily. All doses should be taken with food.

Bacopa Monnieri

Bacopa Monnieri is a herb that contains a compound called bacoside, which reduces anxiety and improves memory formation.

Studies have shown memory improvement across all age groups, with one very large study showing significant improvement in the majority of its participants (4). A decrease in anxiety and depression has also been shown to accompany cognitive function (5).

Bacopa Monnieri also acts as an antioxidant, which further stimulates the activity of other antioxidants in the brain (6).

The standard dose for a non-extract form is 750-1,500mg of the dry plant. This must be taken with food.

Consistent supplementation is required over several weeks to maximise effects.

Tyrosine

L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that improves memory and cognitive performance under stress, by decreasing the production of stress hormones (7).

It appears to aid in working under a state of stress, such as a lack of sleep.

A double-blind trial found L-Tyrosine to have a large reduction of the usual performance decline from sleep deprivation compared to a placebo (8).

A standard dose is 500-2000mg, taken 30-60 minutes before performance.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is found in very high concentrations in the brain. It’s vital for the production of neurotransmitters, which makes it critical for both mood and brain function.

It’s been shown to improve memory in the elderly (9), however studies are uncommon on younger adults. B6 deficiency is quite rare, meaning benefits may be minimal in healthy individuals.

Who Takes It?

Brain and Memory Boost is perfect for anyone seeking extra focus and memory power, especially under stressful work conditions.

It’s also great for older adults who would like to preserve their mental energy with age.

How To Take

Take 2 tablets daily with food. Optimal effects take a few weeks to set in.

Side Effects

Ginkgo Biloba interacts with drug metabolism enzymes, and should not be taken with other medications.

Bacopa Monnieri may upset the stomach.

L-Tyrosine may interact with the absorption of amino acid-like drugs, as well as MAOIs. It may also aggravate hyperthyroid conditions.

Pros

  • The 3 main ingredients are very effective, and this has been proven by research.
  • Straight to-the-point formula, free of extra filler ingredients that don’t work

Cons

  • The amount of Tyrosine included is lower than the standard effective dose, which could be higher. This would have strengthened the anti-fatigue effects of the supplement.

Conclusion

Brain and Memory Boost is a powerful, no-nonsense product that certainly delivers on its promises of boosting memory and cognitive function, while reducing stress.

Although it could have delivered a greater dose of Tyrosine for extra anti-fatigue and anti-stress effects, a decent dose of the other effective ingredients are included to get the job done.
