Neuroq actually has pretty good reviews, and honestly we put this down to the fact that they make reasonable claims. There aren't too many disappointed Neuroq customer reviews on Amazon and after scrolling through most of them seem to be legitimate once you account for the 20 or so that were clearly written by staff, we'd say they average about 4* which is very good for a supplement. Most customers note improved cognitive function, and a reduction in brain fog, but there isn't much in here that should improve mental health, like some people seem to claim.
The most commonly asked questions about Neuroq
It can, once again it's largely reliant on phosphatidylserine for this effect [3]. That said it is reasonably effective for this. So in terms of protecting against cognitive decline there is definitely a decent argument. As for the rest of the ingredients the Ginkgo leaf extract could also be useful for this.
In theory neuroq is safe, it's produced in line with the FDA's supplements guidelines and there's nothing in it that should cause any particular issue. However there may be some Neuroq side effects. The main side effects from phosphatidylserine tend to only come in dosages over 300mg, however, it still can cause insomnia and stomach upset. We'd also suggest that anyone sensitive to caffeine should avoid Neuroq and probably look towards a supplement more like performance lab mind, which does not contain caffeine.
Neuroq has a relatively compact ingredients list for a cognitive function enhancer. It's got a few decent ingredients, but as we've already mentioned it has an over reliance on caffeine.
Gotu Kola Aerial Extract - 250mg
As we've mentioned Kola contains caffeine, but it also does improve cognitive performance and memory. [4]
Tumeric Extract - 250mg
Tumeric isn't a bad ingredient, if we were only picking 5 though, this wouldn't be in it. It has been shown to help prevent cognitive decline though. [5]
Phosphatidylserine - 100mg
- We've already talked about Phosphatidylserine a lot. It is the star of the show and has been shown time and time again to be effective at improving brain function. The only issue is that this could possibly be dosed a little bit higher to maximise cognitive performance improvements.
Ginkgo leaf extract - 120mg
- Another solid ingredient, it's been shown to improve brain function in otherwise healthy individuals and is being actively trailed for numerous brain conditions.
Coffee Fruit Extract - 100mg
Coffee fruit extract has been shown to brain-derived neurotrophic factor, this means it helps you learn faster and build new neural pathways to improve brain function.
Propolis Extract - 75mg
This has a host of benefits, everything from antioxidants through to supporting immuno issues. It's a bit of a catch all for a lot of health supplements, but may not be the best thing to include for purely improving cognitive performance.
Unfortunately for Neuroq it misses out more useful ingredients than it contains, it should still help overall healthy brain function, but it's not the best supplement in its class.
