Review
Summary |
If there were such a thing as a supplement that supports all of our health needs, it would probably be the best selling nutritional product ever. This would be more convenient than using multiple supplements to address all of our health concerns. However, as it stands, no such magical pill seems to exist, so those looking to improve their memory, for instance, must look for the best natural blend of cognitive aids. Neurozyme is advertised as one of the top options in today's market, so we will examine the formula and the product's properties below to see if such claims are in fact true.
|
| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
It appears that Neurozyme includes a vast number of ingredients, all of which either come from plants, herbs or other natural sources. The supplement facts panel indicates that the ingredients may include Ginkgo Biloba, Cat's Claw, Gotu Kola, Ashwagandha, Club Moss, Bacopa, DHA, Clove, Rosemary, Holy Basil, Chamomile, Red Wine, Melissa Extract, Ginger, Sage, Turmeric and Peony. It seems there is a two way tie between Ginkgo Biloba and Gotu Kola for the product's featured ingredient, at a leading 120 milligrams per serving each.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Gotu Kola is one of those herbal extracts that have been used traditionally in parts of the world for many years, and is not associated with a singular application. Ginkgo Biloba, on the other hand, can be found in many memory enhancing supplements, including low and high end products. However, Ginkgo Biloba may not improve Choline production, which is critical for cognitive function.
Perhaps the more intriguing ingredient for memory enhancement in Neurozyme is DHA, or Docosahexaenoic Acid. This essential fatty acid is the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid in the brain, and is known to support the transport of nutrients like Choline. Of course, fatty acids like DHA and EPA are also known for their heart healthy properties. Unfortunately, each serving of this product only provides 75 milligrams of essential fatty acids, according to the product label.
Another ingredient that may aid in the production of Choline is Alpha GPC. The natural substance, which is not found in the supplement in question, has been shown to support Choline's ability to manufacture new cells in the brain. Choline is also considered vital for supporting neurotransmitter activity, in addition to other health promoting properties.

| Lifestyle |
|
The manufacturer instructs users to take one capsule twice daily, preferably with an eight ounce glass of water and a larger meal. Of course, as with all dietary supplements, women who are nursing or are pregnant should consult with their physicians before using this product. There is no indication that the product will cause any serious side effects in the short term, though the formula's long term effects may not be as certain. Additionally, some men and women may find that they are allergic to some of the ingredients.
|
| Positives |
|
• The supplement contains natural ingredients like DHA
• The product may be available for online and local purchase
|
| Negatives |
|
• The supplement does not contain Vinpocetine or Alpha GPC
• Consumer testimonials appear to offer conflicting accounts
• Buyers may or may not be eligible for a full refund after purchase
• The product may not increase the production of Choline in the brain
• The parent company is not well known for good customer service
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
The pros of taking a high quality supplement for memory enhancement seem to outweigh the cons, especially when compared to prescription drugs and other clinical treatments. Some of the most highly regarded cognitive aid formulas have been proven to improve memory, alertness and concentration without causing undesirable side effects. Neurozyme is billed as one of the top options the market has to offer, with a formula based on plant and herb extracts, as well as other vital nutrients. But the supplement does not seem to be geared exclusively towards those needing cognitive support; it may be more appropriate as a general nutritional aid. Some of the testimonials posted online appear to echo this very sentiment.
