Neuro Peak Reviews

Zhou Neuro Peak Ingredients

Bacopa Monnieri Extract (Leaf) - 200 MG

Bacopa monnieri leaf extract is sourced from an aquatic plant in the plantain family found in tropical environments known as Bacopa. It has been used in traditional medicine for decades, due to claims that it offers a wide range of health benefits.

This includes improving brain function, reducing stress and anxiety, and helping to combat multiple chronic illnesses, both mental and physical (1).

The problem is, while the studies are encouraging, the claimed benefits of bacopa monnieri have never been proven conclusively. This makes basing your whole product around it extremely risky, as it is possible it wont support brain function or mental performance at all.

Huperzine Serrata - 500 MCG

Huperzine serrata is a type of firmoss that studies suggest inhibits the enzyme acetylcholine, which allows it to prevent the breakdown of neurotransmitters, particularly in the elderly.

This can help to slow or prevent cognitive decline and the development of Alzheimer's disease, while also being able to improve memory, brain function, and sleep (2).

There are, unfortunately, two problems with its inclusion though. Firstly, most of the studies have been done on animals, and there is not yet any conclusive proof that it will actually benefit the cognitive abilities of, or provide anti aging benefits to humans.

Then, even if it does work, the studies that support it suggest using a daily dose of between 50 and 200 mcg. This means the 500 mcg present in each serving of Neuro Peak is far too strong.

Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract (Supplying 57 MG Of Ginkgo Flavonclycosides [24%]) - 240 MG

Ginkgo biloba extract comes from the leaves of a tree native to China called the ginkgo biloba or maidenhair tree. It's been used in traditional Chinese medicine for years, due to beliefs that it is full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.

Among its many purported benefits are an ability to boost the function of your brain, eyes, and heart, leading to improved vision, circulation, blood flow to the brain, and mental clarity and performance, while also preventing oxidative stress and inhibiting neurotoxic effects (3).

Unfortunately, these beneficial effects have only been conclusively proven in older people, meaning it may be of no use to the rest of the population.

Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract - 50 MG

Rhodiola rosea root extract is taken from the Arctic flowering plant of the same name. It contains more than 140 different micronutrients and has been used in herbal medicine for decades, due to claims it can help with conditions like anxiety, depression, stress, and fatigue.

It is thought to have adaptogenic properties that boost concentration and focus, provide mood and stress support, reduce inflammation, improve cognition and energy, enhance metabolic processes, and help to improve your health and combat certain chronic illnesses (4).

The issues with rhodiola rosea are, yet again, mainly with the evidence and dosages.

Not only have all studies currently been done in vitro, rather than in humans, but they also suggest that the minimum daily dosage required is 288 mg, which is far more than the 50 mg of rhodiola rosea in Neuro Peak.

There have also been potential side effects linked to rhodiola rosea as well, including dizziness, dry mouth, and the possibility of interactions with other drugs in your system.

DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) Bitartrate - 50 MG

DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) is a derivative of choline, which has the ability to enhance the production of neurotransmitters, reduce mental fatigue, inflammation, cognitive decline, brain fog, and hyperactivity, and boost memory, focus, mood, nerve function, and skin health (5).

There are even claims it can offer side benefits, like improving recovery time, muscular contractions, and physical performance.

Unfortunately, while there is some evidence to show it can improve skin health and slow down cognitive decline in the elderly, there is no proof that it truly offers the other benefits it claims.

Vitamin B12 (As Methylcobalamin) - 500 MCG

Vitamin b12 is an essential vitamin that plays a vital role in the development of brain cells and the function of nerves. It can also help to prevent depression, mood swings, cognitive decline, brain fog, and the development of conditions like vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

It can even offer benefits to other areas of your body, such as helping to produce DNA, nerve sheaths, red blood cells, testosterone, and bone marrow, while boosting your metabolism.

While this is the first ingredient in Neuro Peak that is conclusively proven to work, the dosage is again an issue.

To enjoy the beneficial effects of vitamin b12, you must consume at least 1,000 mcg each day (6). As Neuro Peak contains just 500 mcg of vitamin b12 per serving, it is only half the required strength, so will produce minimal results, if any at all.
