    Rated 1st LumUltra

    Avanse Lab Overall Success Rating: 98.7%

    Summary: Avanse Nutraceuticals’ LumUltra (New and Improved) blows all our editors away with an innovatively new formula utilizing the potent Noopept, in combination with select key natural nootropics. Hands down, LumUltra is the best cognitive enhancer we’ve ever reviewed, and will probably top our list for a very long time.

    LumUltra is a relatively newer brain supplement, but having heard so many positive reviews about it that we just had to take a look at what the hype was all about. LumUltra comes from the company Avanse Nutraceuticals, and has only been seeing very positive scores across the many critique and expert websites everywhere since its release. The first were…

    Rated 2nd Brain Pill

    Overall Success Rating: 91.8%

    Summary: We are impressed by the speed and precision at which BrainPill responds to brain enhancement needs – and without unwanted effects that could turn off first-time users. The benefits are sustained and evident from first dose, and this doesn't happen every time with nootropic products

    Rated 3th OptiMind

    Overall Success Rating: 88.6%

    Summary: A glorified caffeine pill containing a few low-quality nootropic ingredients that does nothing more than give you a headache at the end of the day, both due to the side effects and the poor value purchase for a high price.

    Rated 4th Alpha Brain

    Onnit Labs Overall Success Rating: 87.8%

    Summary: Onnit’s Alpha Brain is potent, and much loved, but while packing a solid formula – especially if you were to add your own nootropics on top – as a stand alone supplement it could be better. Great customer service and a genuine passion for what they do does overshadow the gathering voices who are asking why the experience didn’t live up to the website claims… But we still can’t take away from them a cool entry level product.

    If you’ve been avidly searching for the best brain supplement in the market, the name Alpha Brain will most definitely have come up at least a few times. Alpha Brain is a brain supplement that’s gone through many iterations… the Alpha Brain you see today is very different from the Alpha Brain when it first came out. The company behind it, Onnit, has slowly been shifting itself towards a health and fitness brand, and with that slow change also came the changes in Alpha Brain’s formula.

    Rated 5th Lucidal

    McCleary Scientific Overall Success Rating: 80.8%

    Summary: Dr. McCleary’s Lucidal is a good memory and motivation improving product targeted to the elderly that could have been a lot better with a slight reformulation. It doubles as a multivitamin, and so could have been a lot more potent. Still, it’s a solid option… if you can get past the price!

    If you’ve never heard of Lucidal before, don’t fret. Checking out their website, you’ll be pleased to find out that it actually contains a lot of information about the product, the brain and memory in general, FAQs, testimonials, and if you’re interested, there are even some eBooks for sale. It really seems like a lot of work has been put into compiling the information on the website, and it seems like McCleary is a pretty knowledgeable man.
