Formula Deep Dive

Neuro Serge ingredients: the full formula breakdown

Neuro Serge's product materials name six plant-derived ingredients. This page goes deeper than the homepage summary — what each ingredient is, the form it's typically studied in, and exactly what human research does and doesn't show for cognition. We have not been able to independently verify a complete, current Supplement Facts panel with exact per-serving milligram amounts; always check the physical label or official checkout page for that detail before purchasing.

Olive Leaf Extract

Sourced from Olea europaea, olive leaf extract is typically standardized for oleuropein, a polyphenol studied for antioxidant activity. A 2024 randomized controlled trial (the GOLDEN Study) gave an olive-leaf-extract beverage to patients with mild Alzheimer's disease alongside Mediterranean diet guidance; over 6 months, the extract group showed no measurable memory decline on the MMSE test, compared to a 4.1-point decline in the diet-only group (p=0.0135). The trial was small (55 enrolled, 23 completed) and studied a diagnosed-disease population, not general adults looking for day-to-day focus.

Green Tea Extract

Standardized for catechins, including EGCG. In a 2020 randomized, placebo-controlled trial, adults aged 50–69 who took 336.4 mg of green tea catechins daily for 12 weeks showed improved response time on a working-memory test; overall memory and attention scores did not significantly change. A single acute dose also improved accuracy on a sustained-attention task. Source: Molecules, 2020 — full ingredient page →

Grape Seed Extract

Rich in proanthocyanidins. A 2024 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial gave healthy adults over 55 a standardized 250 mg grape extract daily; researchers reported improvements across memory, visuospatial ability, language, and attention measures over 84 days, with some effects detected within 14 days. This is a single, industry-funded, single-center study — a promising early result, not a replicated body of evidence. Source: Foods, 2024 — full ingredient page →

Bilberry Extract

Vaccinium myrtillus extract, rich in anthocyanins. Laboratory research shows bilberry compounds interact with several enzymes and receptors relevant to mood and cognition, and animal studies show learning and memory benefits. Direct human evidence specifically on cognitive outcomes is limited to small pilot trials — a meaningfully weaker evidence base than the olive leaf, green tea, or grape seed research above. full ingredient page →

Cinnamomum cassia (Cassia Cinnamon)

A 2023 systematic review screened over 2,600 studies and found 40 meeting inclusion criteria for cinnamon and cognitive function — 33 in animals, 5 in vitro, and 2 clinical studies that did not measure cognitive outcomes directly. The reviewers' own summary: "0 clinical trials in humans looking at effects on cognitive function or cognitive decline." Cassia-type cinnamon (as opposed to Ceylon cinnamon) also contains coumarin, which is why regulatory bodies recommend limiting daily intake.

Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL)

DGL is licorice root with glycyrrhizin — the compound most associated with licorice's side effects (and most of its cognitive research) — deliberately removed, which is why DGL is generally considered gentler on blood pressure than whole licorice. That removal cuts both ways: the human trials that exist on licorice and cognition (which studied glycyrrhizin-containing licorice) found no cognitive benefit, and we found no dedicated human cognitive research on DGL itself.

What we could not verify

We could not independently confirm a complete, current Supplement Facts label showing the exact amount of each ingredient per serving, whether the six named ingredients are the complete list of active ingredients, or the presence/amount of any inactive ingredients (capsule material, fillers, etc.). Confirm these details on the physical product label or the official checkout page before ordering.
