This page has two jobs. First, it explains everything printed on the panel of the sachet we sell, often ordered by one person in a household and taken by another: the five named lines and the seventeen ingredients that carry them, what each one is, and what the research does and does not say about it, including who was in each study, at what amount and who paid for it. Second, and this is the part most advertising pages leave out, it lists the headlines we run, tells you which ones are exaggerated, and separates the small number of things that are genuinely supported by evidence from the many that are not.
You almost certainly arrived here from an advertisement. The headline you clicked was written by us and paid for by us to appear next to real news stories. It was designed to make you stop scrolling. Several of our headlines overstate what science actually shows, and a few attribute statements to experts who do not exist.
Everything on this site is a paid advertisement for a product we sell. If you buy through a link on any of our pages, we are paid a commission. That is the reason this site exists.
The product is a carton of five-milliliter foil sachets made and sold by Cymbiotika, LLC of San Diego, California as a dietary supplement. One sachet is a serving: a teaspoon of sweetened almond-and-coconut paste carrying rhodiola root extract 100 mg, phosphatidylcholine 60 mg, bacopa extract 50 mg, a standardized kanna extract 25 mg and huperzine A 50 mcg. It is not a medicine, it is not meant for any medical condition, and no study has ever tested these five ingredients together in anyone. The label carries the standard statement that its claims have not been evaluated by the FDA. No food, drink or supplement on this page is a substitute for your own clinician.
The panel also states, in bold, that the sachet contains almond and coconut. If you avoid tree nuts, this product is not for you and nothing further on this page changes that.
If you are genuinely worried about your memory, the single most useful thing you can do is book an appointment with your own clinician. That costs you nothing from us, and a proper conversation about your nights, your hearing, what you take daily and your habits is worth more than anything we are selling. We would rather you close this page and make that call than buy something under a false impression.
These are the headlines we have run, grouped by the claim they make. The right-hand column is our own plain assessment. We have marked each family of headlines as Exaggerated, Partly true, Withdrawn, Our headline was wrong or Broadly supported.
| The headline as you saw it | What is actually behind it |
|---|---|
| “He Says He Likes the Taste,” His Wife Wrote of the Morning Packet | Broadly supported The quotation is real and exact. It comes from a five-star review by Vicki M. on the seller's own product page, carrying the store's purchase mark, which reads in full: "My husband has been taking Brain Complex for almost a month. I see a difference in his cognition. He says he likes the taste and I like the results." The headline quotes the part about taste and says nothing about results. What the headline does not claim matters as much. The husband's report is about taste, and he is the only one who can make it. The wife's report is an observation from across the table, which is valuable and easily colored by the hope that led her to buy the box; it is not evidence that the sachet works, and no study has tested these five ingredients together. The article suggests two separate notebooks, one for each of them, read aloud before the refund window closes. |
| "Mental Decline Begins When Seniors Can't Spell These 3 Words. Test Now""Top Doctors Say Mental Decline Begins When Seniors Can't Pronounce These 3 Phrases. Can You?""Memory Decline Begins When Seniors Say These 3 Phrases (See The List)""Declining Memory Begins When Seniors Say These 7 Phrases. See Which Ones" | Exaggerated There is no set of three words, three phrases or seven phrases whose spelling or pronunciation marks the beginning of anything. Nothing "begins" at a word. Word tasks do appear inside the short memory checks clinicians use, but those checks are given in person and read alongside your history, what you take daily and your age. Failing a word online means nothing on its own: plenty of people stumble over a word when they are tired, nervous or being timed. "Top doctors" refers to no specific person. See section 4. |
| "Japan's Oldest Doctors Say Memory Loss Isn't Age: Just Avoid Drinking These 3 Beverages""Japan's Greatest Doctors Say Memory Loss Isn't Age: Just Avoid Drinking These 3 Beverages""Japan's Oldest Doctors Say Memory Loss Isn't Age: Just Stop Eating These 3 Foods" | Exaggerated No group of Japanese doctors issued this statement. There is no such panel, no such list, and no source we can point you to. Japan appears in the headline because it is widely associated with long life, which makes the claim feel credible. That is a marketing decision, not a citation. The second half is also wrong. Memory changes with age for everyone, and no diet removes that. What is true is narrower: certain long-term drinking and eating patterns travel with faster slippage on thinking tests in large population studies. [1] [2] Association is not proof of cause, and "just avoid these three" is not how any of it works. |
| "Nobel Prize's Doctors Say Memory Loss Isn't Age: Just Stop Eating These 3 Foods" | Withdrawn We retract this one outright. No Nobel laureate has endorsed this page, this product, or any list of three foods on our behalf. Attaching the Nobel Prize to an advertisement implies an authority that does not exist and we should not have run it. |
| "The Overlooked Boxed Cereal Now Tied to 8 Out of 10 Memory Cases" | Our headline was wrong There is no such statistic. No study ties any cereal to eight out of ten cases of anything, "memory cases" is not a category any researcher uses, and no cereal has been "overlooked" by anyone: the sugar figure is printed on the side of every box. The number was invented for the headline and we withdraw it. The grain of truth is the one below: a diet heavy in ultra-processed food, the sweet cereal shelf included, travels in a large Brazilian study with somewhat faster slippage on thinking tests over eight years. [2] That is a modest association across thousands of people, not eight in ten of anyone. See section 3. |
| "Brain Experts Now Say These 3 Cereals Age the Brain Faster Than Time""Scientists Now Say This 1 Cereal Ages the Brain Faster Than Time" | Exaggerated No food ages the brain "faster than time." That phrase was written for effect and it is not a finding from any study. It is also internally inconsistent: in one version it is three cereals, in another it is one, because the number is something we test for click-through, not something anyone measured. The grain of truth: diets high in ultra-processed food are associated with somewhat faster slippage on thinking tests over years. [2] See section 3. |
| "Doctors Now Say This Popular Evening Drink Is Behind Memory Loss" | Partly true The "evening drink" is alcohol, and of everything our ads point at, this is where the evidence is strongest. In British civil servants followed for thirty years, higher drinking went with shrinkage of the hippocampus, the region most involved in forming memories, and with faster decline in word fluency; light drinkers had no edge over non-drinkers. [1] What is overstated is the word "behind." Alcohol is one contributing factor among many, not the cause of memory slips. It is also worth saying plainly: the sachet we sell contains no alcohol and no caffeine. |
| "Doctors Name 5 Popular Drinks Now Tied To Memory Decline. Coffee Tops The List""Seniors: These 4 Drinks May Be Aging Your Brain Faster""Neurologists Say Cognitive Decline Isn't Age: Just Stop Drinking These 2 Popular Drinks" | Exaggerated Notice that the count changes: two drinks, three, four, five. It changes because it is an advertising variable we rotate, not a number that came out of a study. No neurologist is named in any version, because none was consulted. "Coffee tops the list" is the clearest thing we have got wrong: none of the studies on this page is about plain coffee. The Food and Drug Administration cites 400 milligrams of caffeine a day, two to three 12-ounce cups of brewed coffee, as an amount not generally associated with negative effects in most healthy adults. [3] This matters here for a second reason: the label of the product we sell suggests stirring the sachet into a drink, and for most buyers that drink is coffee. See section 2. |
| "Memory Slipping? Check These 4 Everyday Drinks First" | Partly true Half right, in the wrong order. If your memory is slipping, the first thing to check is not a drink; it is a conversation with your own clinician about your nights, your hearing and what you take daily. The four drinks are the everyday ones in section 2. Not enough plain water belongs on the list too, and of everything in our advertising that is the item with the least glamour and the most support. [4] [5] |
| "Still Sharp at 90? Seniors Are Rethinking These 3 Everyday Foods" | Partly true The gentlest of our headlines, and still an overstatement. Nobody knows what keeps a particular person sharp at 90, and no single food does it. The three everyday foods are sugary breakfast cereals, processed meats and packaged baked goods, all in section 3. Eating less of them is part of the long, slow habits in section 5, and no food is a promise at any age. |
| "A teaspoon of paste, five plants, and the one number that matches its study" | Partly true The teaspoon and the five plants are accurate: one sachet is five milliliters of paste and the panel prints five named lines. The last clause is true of exactly one line and we should say which. The kanna extract is printed at 25 milligrams, the same daily amount used in a three-week crossover study of 21 healthy adults averaging about 54, where two measures of a computerized battery came out better than placebo. [6] Twenty-one people for three weeks is a first study, not a record, and authors connected to the extract's maker were among them. The other four lines sit below their studies: bacopa at 50 milligrams against the 300 used for twelve weeks in adults over 55, [7] [8] rhodiola at 100 milligrams whose best trial ran in young physicians on night duty, [9] and huperzine A at 50 micrograms against single doses of 100 and 200 given to healthy adults. [10] See section 6. |
| "Neurologists Name 5 Popular Prescriptions Now Tied to Memory Decline" | Partly true, and the one not to act on alone No neurologist named a list for us, and we will not print one. What is true is that pharmacists keep lists of everyday products, some sold over the counter, that are often a poor fit after 65, and that a yearly look at everything you take is worth having. But an advertisement is the worst possible reason to change anything a clinician gave you: never stop or change it because of something you read in an ad, including ours. Put everything you take in one bag, this carton included, and ask your pharmacist. See the box at the end of section 2. |
An honest answer: these headlines appear beside real news stories, competing for attention with everything else on the page, and dramatic phrasing gets clicked. That is the incentive, and we are subject to it like every other advertiser.
It is also why this page exists. Once you are here, you are entitled to know exactly which claims we can stand behind and which ones were written to get your attention. Everything below is the sober version.
Our headlines have referred, in different versions, to "3 beverages", "4 drinks", "5 popular drinks", "2 popular drinks" and "this popular evening drink" without ever naming them. Here is the complete list of what we were pointing at, and what the research actually supports for each one. Where a study is cited, it is observational unless stated otherwise: it can show that two things travel together in a population, not that one causes the other.
This is the "popular evening drink" · Best-supported of the group
What the research says. A long-running study of British civil servants found that higher drinking, even at moderate levels, went with shrinkage of the hippocampus and faster decline in word fluency, and that light drinkers had no advantage over people who did not drink. [1] Alcohol also disturbs your nights and interacts with many everyday medicines.
Honest verdict. Of everything on this list, cutting back on alcohol has the strongest case behind it. It is still not "the cause" of memory slips, and no amount of cutting back is a promise.
About the product we sell. It contains no alcohol and no caffeine. It is a teaspoon of almond-and-coconut paste carrying five plant ingredients, taken once a day.
Important. If you drink heavily every day, do not stop abruptly on your own. Ask your clinician how to cut back safely.
Part of the "3 popular drinks" and "4 drinks" · Partly supported
What the research says. Soft drinks sit on the ultra-processed shelf, and in a Brazilian study of 10,775 adults followed for about eight years, the people who ate and drank the most from that shelf slipped somewhat faster on thinking tests than those who ate the least. [2]
Honest verdict. A reasonable thing to cut down on, mostly for reasons that have nothing to do with a dramatic headline. Replacing them with water is a cheap, low-risk change.
One thing we should say about our own product here. It is sweet. The panel prints 20 calories and under a gram of added sugar per sachet, which is a small fraction of a soft drink, and it is still added sugar. We print it because the seller does.
Often the "surprising" drink in our ads · No evidence we can stand behind
What the research says. We are not aware of a study that gives a clear answer about diet soft drinks and everyday memory, and we cite none here.
Honest verdict. Unresolved, and not a reason to panic. Anyone who tells you diet soda has been shown to harm your memory is going beyond the evidence.
Part of the "4 drinks" our ads name · Indirect concern
What the research says. There is little direct research linking energy drinks to memory. The concern for older adults is more immediate: high caffeine loads combined with sugar can bring a faster heartbeat, palpitations, jitters, an upset stomach and a poor night. [3]
Honest verdict. Worth avoiding if you are over 65 or sensitive to caffeine, for those reasons rather than any measured memory effect. The sachet we sell carries no caffeine of its own.
The version of "coffee" our ads should have named · Partly supported
What the research says. These are sugary drinks that happen to contain coffee. Whatever applies to sugar-sweetened beverages applies to them. A large flavored frappé can carry as much added sugar as a soft drink.
Honest verdict. If our "coffee" headline had meant this, it would have been defensible. It did not, and we should have been specific.
Named in our headline as the worst offender · Our headline was wrong
What the research says. None of the studies on this page is about ordinary black coffee or plain tea, and tea is a routine part of the eating patterns studied for memory. Caffeine late in the day can cost you a night, so timing matters more than the drink itself. The Food and Drug Administration cites 400 milligrams a day as an amount not generally associated with negative effects in most healthy adults, [3] and the European safety panel reached a similar place: single doses up to 200 milligrams and daily intakes up to 400 do not raise safety concerns in healthy adults. [11]
Honest verdict. "Coffee Tops The List" was a bad headline. It also sits awkwardly beside our own label, which suggests stirring the sachet into a drink, and for most buyers that drink is coffee. If you do that, keep your coffee exactly where it was during any test, or you will never know which of the two you are feeling.
The drink our headlines never name · The best supported thing on this page
What the research says. In 1,111 adults aged 60 to 89, the third who were measurably short of fluid slipped faster on a processing-speed test than the rest. [4] A review of 18 studies covering 33,707 adults over 60 found that being short of fluid in later life tracks with worse outcomes across the board and with poorer scores on tests of thinking. [5]
Honest verdict. It costs nothing, it cannot be sold in a sachet, and it is a better first move than anything on this site. We leave it out of our advertising for the obvious reason, and we are putting it back in here.
We do not print a list, and you should not act on one from an advertisement. Do not stop, reduce or skip anything a clinician gave you because of this page or any of our headlines.
The right action is simple: put everything you take, including what you buy over the counter, into one bag with this carton and take it to your pharmacist. Ask: "Is anything here a poor choice at my age, and does anything here argue with the kanna or the huperzine A in this sachet?" That last question is the one that matters most here. Kanna acts on brain chemistry and its own material says to check before combining it with a daily medicine, and huperzine A slows the enzyme that clears a nervous-system messenger, so it adds to the effect of anything acting on that same system. [10] [6]
The food headlines referred to "3 foods" and to "cereals": one cereal in some versions, three in others. Again, the number was ours, not a finding. Here is what was meant, and what stands behind it.
The "3 cereals" / "1 cereal" that "age the brain faster than time" · Partly supported
What the research says. Frosted, honey-coated and chocolate cereals are mostly refined starch and added sugar, and many carry more sugar per serving than a cookie. They sit on the ultra-processed shelf that travels with faster slippage on thinking tests over years. [2] No study has found that any cereal "ages the brain faster than time." That phrase is ours and it is not defensible. In a community cohort of 1,391 adults, diets that carried more choline, which is eggs, milk, meat and beans, went with better scores on verbal and visual memory tests. [12]
Honest verdict. Reading the sugar figure on the box is a sensible habit. Plain oats, plain shredded wheat and unsweetened whole-grain cereals are inexpensive swaps. Worth knowing here: two eggs carry several times the choline in one of our sachets, and cost about forty cents.
The honest version of all our food headlines · Partly supported
What the research says. A large Brazilian cohort found that adults with the highest intake of ultra-processed foods slipped faster on overall thinking and word-finding tests over roughly eight years than those who ate the least. [2] This is observational, the effect size was modest, and diet is tangled up with income, education and dozens of other factors.
Honest verdict. The pattern of your food over years matters more than any single item. That is a duller message than "these 3 foods", which is exactly why our headlines do not say it.
Usually two of the "3 foods" · Partly supported
What the research says. Both sit on the ultra-processed shelf in the study above. [2]
Honest verdict. Worth moderating. Not an emergency, and not undone by any supplement, including ours.
The refined-carbohydrate group · Partly supported
What the research says. The eating pattern most studied for memory is the MIND pattern: leafy greens, berries, beans, nuts, whole grains, olive oil and fish. In a three-year trial of 604 older adults, the group that ate that way and a group that simply ate a little less both improved their thinking scores, by about the same amount. [13]
Honest verdict. The useful advice was never "stop eating these 3 foods." It is "shift the overall pattern," which takes months and cannot be sold in a headline.
Drink more plain water. Drink less alcohol. Drink less sugar. Keep your coffee, earlier in the day if it costs you your nights. Eat more like the MIND or Mediterranean pattern (vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, olive oil, fish, berries) and less like a vending machine. Every one of those changes costs nothing extra, and none of them requires anything we sell.
Several of our headlines invite you to test yourself on words or phrases: spell these three words, pronounce these three phrases, see whether you say these seven phrases. There is no such validated test, and we cannot give you a real one, because a real one does not work that way.
What an actual memory check looks like. Clinicians use short structured checks. They do include word tasks: recalling three unrelated words after a delay, naming animals, repeating a sentence. But three things make them different from an online quiz:
These checks also produce false alarms. A bad night, trouble hearing, and simply being nervous all lower scores in people whose memory is fine. This is precisely why an online word quiz is meaningless: it has none of the context that makes the real check useful.
We are sorry. Take it as a prompt rather than a verdict: if the worry is real, bring it to your own clinician and ask for a proper memory check. If it was just a startling headline, the reassurance you are looking for cannot come from a quiz on an advertising page, including this one.
If we only had one section to be useful in, this would be it. None of these is a supplement, a sachet, or a list of three foods, and none of them can be sold to you by us.
These are unglamorous. They cannot be delivered in a headline, they take years, and they are, by a wide margin, the most useful things on this entire page.
What each ingredient printed on the panel of Cymbiotika Liposomal Brain Complex is, what it is traditionally used for, and what the cited research says, including who was in each study, at what amount and who paid for it. One five-milliliter sachet is a serving. Three notes on the panel itself. The five named lines add up to about 235 milligrams, and everything else in the spoonful, by weight, is the glycerin, water, almond butter, coconut nectar, cassava syrup, pectin, spices and salt listed as other ingredients. The word "liposomal" appears on the front of the carton; we could not find a published absorption figure for this product on the seller's page, so we treat it as a description of the form and not as a number. And the panel states in bold that the sachet contains almond and coconut.
A plant known as arctic root, golden root or rose root that grows in cold regions and at high altitude in Europe, Asia and North America. The root is the part used.
Traditional and everyday use. A long history of use in Russia, Scandinavia and other parts of Europe for fatigue and work performance.
What the research says. In a double-blind crossover study of 56 healthy young physicians on night duty, one tablet a day of a standardized extract was associated with better scores on tests of mental fatigue during the first two weeks.[9] The National Institutes of Health states there is not enough reliable evidence to say whether rhodiola is useful for any health-related purpose.
Amount per serving in Liposomal Brain Complex. 100 mg
Good to know. Possibly safe for up to 12 weeks; side effects reported include dizziness, headache, trouble sleeping and dry mouth. Little is known about safety in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor before use if you take anything daily.
The main fat-and-choline molecule of cell membranes and of lecithin, the emulsifier in egg yolk, soybeans and sunflower seeds. In a supplement it is a modest source of choline: only about 13 % of its weight is choline itself.
Traditional and everyday use. Lecithin has been used in cooking and food-making for a century as an emulsifier.
What the research says. In a community cohort of 1,391 adults aged 36 to 83, higher dietary choline intake was associated with better verbal and visual memory scores.[12] That is an association across a population's diet, not a trial of a supplement, and the 60 mg in a packet is a few percent of a day's choline intake.
Amount per serving in Liposomal Brain Complex. 60 mg (a minor source of choline, a few percent of a day's intake)
Good to know. A food component; well tolerated. Sunflower-derived, so soy-free.
A creeping perennial of wet ground and pond edges across India, with small oblong leaves and white to pale purple flowers. In some parts of India the name "brahmi" is also given to gotu kola, which is a different plant; some products list both.
Traditional and everyday use. One of the best-known plants of Ayurvedic practice, traditionally associated with memory, calm and sleep.
What the research says. This is the one ingredient on the tin with trials in the right age group. In 54 healthy adults aged 65 and older, 300 mg a day of a standardized extract for 12 weeks was associated with better delayed word recall and better performance on a task of ignoring distractions than placebo, with no effect on divided attention or working memory.[7] In 98 healthy adults over 55, the same daily amount for 12 weeks was associated with better verbal learning and delayed recall, while other measures did not differ.[8] A meta-analysis of nine such trials found faster performance on two attention-speed tests, by milliseconds, and called for a large well-designed trial.[15] All of that used standardized extracts in tablets for at least three months. A pinch of dried plant steeped in a twelve-ingredient tea blend, or a fraction of a milligram of glycosides in a spray, is not the same thing, and nobody has tested either.
Amount per serving in Liposomal Brain Complex. 50 mg (a sixth of the 300 mg a day used in the trials in adults over 55)
Good to know. The trials reported more stomach upset, looser stools, cramps and nausea than placebo.[8] Reference texts advise caution for anyone who takes anything daily for the body's own hormones, note it may slow the heart rate, and note it can affect how the organ that processes what you swallow handles some medicines. Talk to your doctor before use if you take anything daily.
A small succulent plant from the dry western parts of South Africa. Its dried leaves and stems have been chewed, smoked or brewed by the Khoi and San peoples for centuries. The standardized extract sold to supplement makers under the Zembrin® name is a mild mood-active plant: it acts on the same brain chemistry some medicines act on, which is why the label tells you to ask your doctor before combining it with anything you take.
Traditional and everyday use. Chewed by herders and hunters in southern Africa against thirst, hunger and fatigue on long journeys, and used socially.
What the research says. In a three-week randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover study of 21 healthy adults with an average age of about 55, 25 mg a day of the Zembrin® extract was associated with better scores on two measures of a computerized test battery, cognitive flexibility and executive function, compared with placebo.[6] Twenty-one people, three weeks, two of many scores: a first study, not a track record.
Amount per serving in Liposomal Brain Complex. 25 mg (the dose of the three-week crossover study in 21 healthy adults of about 55)
Good to know. Mild and generally well tolerated in the study, but it acts on brain chemistry: do not combine it with any daily medicine, especially anything for mood, without asking your doctor or pharmacist. Not for pregnancy.
A purified alkaloid isolated from a Chinese club moss. It slows the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, so it acts on the nervous system in a way most botanical ingredients do not, and it is the one ingredient on this label that behaves more like a medicine than like a food.
Traditional and everyday use. The moss has a history of use in Chinese herbal practice; the purified compound is a twentieth-century isolate.
What the research says. In a placebo-controlled study of healthy adults (12 per group), single doses of 100 or 200 µg of huperzine A slowed the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, measured in the blood; the 200 µg dose held declarative recall steady across sessions, but neither dose improved overall performance.[10] Most other research on huperzine A has been done in people with a diagnosed condition and is not cited here.
Amount per serving in Liposomal Brain Complex. 50 mcg (a quarter of the 200 mcg single dose that inhibited the enzyme in healthy adults without improving overall performance)
Good to know. Because it acts on acetylcholine it can cause nausea, sweating, a slow heartbeat or muscle twitching, and it can add to the effect of anything else that acts on the same system. Not for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor before use if you take anything for your heart, your breathing or your nervous system.

Set against the headlines that brought you here, this is the complete and honest position.
Things we cannot promise, and that nobody selling you a supplement can:
Things we can say honestly:
No. Those attributions are advertising language. No named or identifiable expert made those statements, and none has endorsed this product.
None of the studies on this page is about plain coffee, and our "Coffee Tops The List" headline overstated it. What is worth watching is added sugar in coffee drinks, and caffeine late enough in the day to cost you a night. [3] [11]
No. Not on your own, and not because of an advertisement. Take everything you take to your pharmacist and ask whether anything is a poor fit for your age.
Two answers, and they are different questions. The best evidence in people our age belongs to bacopa, from twelve-week trials at 300 milligrams a day in adults over 55, [7] [8] and the panel prints 50. The only line printed at the amount of its own study is the kanna at 25 milligrams, from a three-week crossover in 21 healthy adults. [6]
Possibly two things. Kanna acts on brain chemistry and its own material says to ask before combining it with a daily medicine, and huperzine A slows an enzyme in the nervous system and adds to anything else acting there. [10] Take the carton to your pharmacist before the first sachet.
No. The panel states in bold that it contains almond and coconut.
Sweet enough that the single most critical review on the seller's page is about the sweetness and nothing else. The panel prints 20 calories and under a gram of added sugar. Stirring it into unsweetened coffee is what buyers who dislike it tend to do.

A fair question. Do not take our word for it. The references below are real, published sources you can look up yourself, and nothing in sections 4 and 5 requires you to buy anything or trust us. If this page and our headlines disagree, believe this page.
No. There is nothing to sign up for, and you are welcome to read it, close the tab and never come back.
Yes, and you should. Every numbered reference below can be found by searching its authors and journal. For general information, the National Institute on Aging (nia.nih.gov) publishes plain-language material and sells nothing.
These are the sources behind the claims marked with a number above. Several are observational studies, which can show association but not cause. The bacopa trials used a standardized extract at six times the amount on this panel; the kanna study is one crossover in 21 people with the extract maker's people among its authors; the rhodiola trial was run in young physicians on night duty; the huperzine A study used single doses at two and four times this panel's amount in twelve people per group; the fact sheets are the governments' own. None of them tested this sachet. We have deliberately not cited anything for the claims we describe as exaggerated, because there is nothing to cite.
Citing a study does not mean the study is about this product. The studies above tested one ingredient at a time, in other people, at amounts this sachet matches only once, not the sachet itself; none of the research tested Cymbiotika Liposomal Brain Complex, and none of it supports it.
