Who doesn’t love a healthy, sharp, and well-focused brain that helps you ace your daily tasks? Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with high cognitive powers; however, modern science makes it much more accessible with the introduction of brain-strengthening supplements called nootropics. One such nootropic supplement is Mind Power RX.

Mind Power RX is advertised as a dietary supplement designed to support healthy brain function, including memory, concentration, and focus capacity. According to its manufacturer, Advance Physician Formulas, the core benefits of its formula include improved mental alertness and wakefulness, a boost in mental stamina, and healthy memory.

But can the supplement truly fulfill its promises? Let’s find out in this Mind Power RX review below.

Overview

1) Quick Overview

Mind Power RX is a nootropic, brain-boosting formula that utilizes natural ingredients to improve neural health. The product claims to work by providing support to the neurotransmitter function, improving blood flow to the brain, and supporting enzymatic and metabolic processes in nerve cells while acting as a neuronal antioxidant.

According to the manufacturer, Mind Power RX is one of the company’s top-selling products. Unfortunately, the manufacturer’s website offers certain information regarding ingredients and potential benefits but fails to explain the exact mechanisms through which the core advertised benefits are delivered.

2) Who Makes Mind Power RX?

Advance Physician Formulas, the manufacturer of Mind Power RX, is a nutritional supplement company founded in 2003 located in Irvine, California. The company offers a wide range of dietary supplements (vitamins, herbal formulations, etc.) for various health conditions. It claims to represent several renowned supplement manufacturers and to market products developed by the best-selling author Dr. Ray Sahelian.

Advanced Physician Formulas aim to provide customers with formulas of the highest effectiveness and quality. All of its formula labels are exclusively made in the United States under the supervision of a research team with high specialization and expertise. The company is also a product distributor of herbs and supplements manufactured by other companies; however, it takes special care to only choose products with legit efficacy and high safety levels.

Ingredients

3) Details on Mind Power RX Ingredients and Uses

Mind Power RX is a mixture of more than 15 herbal ingredients, vitamins, and amino acids designed to provide healthy mind support and enhance memory, focus, and concentration. The herbal ingredients and extracts included in the formula (Gotu Kola, Ginseng, Bacopa Monnieri, Ashwagandha, and Ginkgo Biloba) are very popular ingredients commonly used in brain supplements to promote the nervous system and brain function support.

  • Gotu Kola: This ingredient has been used for centuries by Traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine practitioners. The plant is known to successfully treat fatigue, depression, and anxiety. It has also been used for improving memory and intelligence and is considered safe when taken orally and applied to the skin appropriately.
  • Vinpocetine: Vinpocetine, an artificial substance obtained from the Periwinkle plant, is believed to improve blood flow to the brain, thus enhancing memory and other information processing skills. People who plan to undergo surgery, have blood clotting problems, or are pregnant or breastfeeding should take precautionary measures when using Vinpocetine-based supplements.
  • Vitamin Blend: The use of vitamins and other nutrients may help essential substances cross the blood-brain barrier for increased effectiveness and long-term effects of the formula.

4) Does Mind Power RX Work?

Mind Power RX is advertised as an all-natural herbal supplement. Ginkgo Biloba appears to be one of the essential ingredients included in this formulation. This plant has been used to treat various health concerns, many of which are still under scientific investigation. The evidence we have shows that Gingko is effective in treating the symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, intermittent claudication, glaucoma, and muscular degeneration. The same evidence also demonstrates that Gingko may be an effective memory enhancer in healthy patients.

It is essential to know that Gingko Biloba has shown to be most useful as a memory enhancer in healthy patients. The plant may not be as effective in treating age-related memory loss as the evidence seems to show, although many manufacturers position it that way. Most consumers can take Ginkgo Biloba without problems, but there are some reports of increased bleeding. Therefore, it should be administrated with caution in patients on anticoagulant therapy and those with known blood clotting disorders. The Mind Power RX formula also advertises a proprietary blend of Ginkgo, Ashwagandha, Bacopa Monnieri, Gotu Kola, and other well-known herbal ingredients commonly advertised to possess brain capacity-boosting benefits.

A common problem with herbal supplements like Mind Power RX is their ability to cross the BBB (blood-brain barrier) and directly activate brain mechanisms related to memory and cognitive function enhancement. Therefore, the effectiveness of such formulas over the long term becomes an issue, and it is better to regard them as a short-term solution than as a long-term fix.

Mind Power RX has received numerous positive reviews and testimonials, but an equal number of negative reviews also exist as well. Many consumers have reported good results within days of the first administration.

Pros & Cons

CONS

Price

7) Mind Power RX Price

Bottom Line

8) Our Bottom Line

Mind Power RX is marketed as a mental enhancement supplement with a direct impact on memory, focus, and concentration. The formula contains a large number of herbal ingredients, amino acids, and vitamins, and although many of them have been used or demonstrated effective in enhancing or supporting various brain functions, the Mind Power RX formula has not been the subject of any independent systematic research. Therefore, as we advise for any dietary supplement, it is our recommendation that a healthcare provider is consulted before beginning treatment with this formula.

Donovan Shelby

Roberta Jazmin

Before taking Mind Power RX, i used to tire easily, mentally i mean, couldn’t really study for more than two hours at a time, but now i don’t have those problems anymore.

If you’re in PR or HR, remembering names and details about people can be vital to your success. I’ve seen average professionals get promoted over me just because they were caring, attentive individuals. Memory and recollection are not my forte so I tried Mind Power RX for a month and the results were visible and positive.

I have been taking mind power RX or about two weeks now and love it. I am taking it on a empty stomach in the morning and normally feel it kick it in less than a couple of hours. It gives me energy, I feel smarter, and it generally puts me in a good mood. I would definatly recommend trying this product. It works great!!!
