Neuro
Kaya Naturals
Overview
Neuro by Kaya Naturals aims to support brain function with a blend of vitamins, minerals, and a proprietary 'nootropic' blend. However, many of the vitamins and minerals are present at levels that provide little added benefit for most adults. The proprietary blend also obscures the dosage of ingredients like DMAE, Bacopa, and Huperzine A, making it difficult to determine efficacy for 'brain function'. Additionally, several ingredients commonly associated with nootropic effects, such as DHA, Phosphatidylserine and choline, are also underdosed.
The Good
Contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals
Includes ingredients with potential antioxidant properties such as Vitamin C and Green Tea Extract
Includes minerals such as Magnesium, Zinc, and Selenium that may play a role in overall health
The Bad
Limited evidence for nootropic benefits from several ingredients
Many ingredients are significantly underdosed
Proprietary blend obscures individual ingredient amounts

Best For: Individuals seeking cognitive enhancement, students, professionals, those looking for a caffeine alternative
Skip If: You are pregnant, nursing, or have pre-existing medical conditions without consulting a healthcare professional.
