Review
Summary |
Banyan Mental Clarity is a dietary supplement for men and women seeking support for lapses in short and long term memory and other cognitive issues linked to a decrease in healthy brain activity. Whether due to age, genetics or environmental factors, many Americans find themselves more forgetful and slow to respond in certain situations. Supplements like Banyan Mental Clarity claim to address these concerns head on, but a closer look at Banyan Mental Clarity’s offerings may not impress many consumers.

| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
Banyan Mental Clarity appears to have been formulated with a variety of traditionally used herbal extracts and other naturally derived substances. These may include Vidari Kanda Root, Brahmi Leaf Extract, Pippali Fruit Extract, Cardamom Seed, Nutmeg, Skullcap Herb Extract, Shankhapushpi Extract, Bacopa Herpestis Extract, Passionflower Herb and Bhringaraj Leaf Extract, among others.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Most of the ingredients listed for Banyan Mental Clarity’s formula may not seem familiar to the average consumer looking for a memory enhancing supplement. That is because the herbal extracts appear to have their roots overseas in certain regions of Asia, though some of these can be found here in the U.S. quite readily. Unfortunately, ingredients like Nutmeg and Cardamom Seed have not been indicated to help substantially with memory loss or cognitive function as advertised.
We are surprised that the formula does not include some of the better known natural ingredients for boosting memory and supporting brain activity, such as Alpha GPC. Short for L Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine, Alpha GPC has been shown in clinical studies to increase the production of Choline in the brain, which is necessary for the renewal of brain cells and for the maintenance of important neurotransmitters in the brain. The studies also concluded that this ingredient may be vital for supporting better short and long term memory in adults.

| Lifestyle |
|
The supplement in question seems to stray from the norm in today's modern world of memory enhancing supplementation by going with the traditional approach, with exotic herbal extracts. While the company may reference this or that study that purportedly supports its claims for Banyan Mental Clarity, it seems the ingredients are backed more by anecdotal evidence than by any clinical findings. This may not bode well for men and women seeking a product that will fit seamlessly into their lifestyles, meaning the product produces the desired memory enhancing effects without causing side effects and with long term needs in mind, too.
|
| Positives |
|
• The supplement is very affordable
• Banyan Mental Clarity may be purchased online
|
| Negatives |
|
• Does not contain Vinpocetine or Alpha GPC
• The official website posts few testimonials at the time of this review
• The company is not reputed for quality customer service
• A 100 percent money back guarantee may not be available
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
Banyan Mental Clarity seems to be well marketed in that the product is promoted as being based on potent, naturally derived herbal extracts, but it is unclear just how effective these components would be when brought together. Unlike some of the more reputable companies, the one in question may not be able to back up its claims with concrete evidence via clinical studies, as well as through consumer testimonials. When a company's commitment to excellence and overall integrity come into question, it may be difficult to accept that its product will come through with the desired results. Thus, it may be best for consumers to look for other supplements that come from more reputable companies and only contain proven ingredients.
