Common ingredient categories

Products may include herbs such as Bacopa, choline-related compounds, vitamins, amino-acid-related ingredients and compounds marketed around cellular energy.

Evidence quality matters

Prioritize randomized human research relevant to the population and outcome you care about. Be skeptical when a marketing page leaps from cell or animal research to guaranteed human outcomes.
