Brain Krave is advertised as a nootropic supplement specially designed to boost the brain health among people with cognitive decline and other brain-related problems. It is claimed to be a safe natural alternative to pharmaceutical drugs (like Adderall). The supplement promises to naturally increase memory, energy and focus without the crash and burn effect.

According to the official website, Brain Krave has been scientifically proven to improve brain functioning in a safe and natural way. The formula works by fueling the brain naturally and it includes a mixt of ingredients claimed to nourish the brain. The ingredients boost the supply of blood to the brain and improve neurotransmission. It is also claimed to deliver antioxidants that protect the brain from any damage.

Brain Krave has an official website that provides some useful information regarding each used ingredient and the overall formula. However, the producing company seems to use some questionable marketing tactics to promote the supplement.

Ingredients

Brain Krave contains the following ingredients: Brain Krave contains the following ingredients: Vitamin C (Asorbic Acid) 15 mg, Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 0.85 mg, Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) 10 mg, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxide HCL) 2.7 mg, Folic Acid 200 mcg, Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) 50 mcg, Vitamin B5 (Penthenol) 1 mg, BrainKave Nootropic Complex (Caffeine, Rhodiola, Bacopa organic extract, Schizandrol-A, Phosphatidylserine, DMAE, L-Tyrosine, Choline, Chloride, Green Tea powder, Huperzine-A, Vinpocetine, and L-Carnitine) 610 mg, and gelatin (capsule).

Product Features

Regardless of the company’s bold claims, what really matters is the actual formula and Brain Krave consists of a blend between vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, amino-acids, and a high amount of caffeine.

Bacopa Monnieri is an ancient herb that has been used for centuries in India to reduce anxiety and give a sense of peace. Huperzine A is a natural Chinese plant that helps prevent the destruction of the neurotransmitter acetylchoine, while vinpocetine comes from the periwinkle plant and is thought to increase blood flow to the brain. Green tea extract contains chemicals that help calm you down well, and we all know what caffeine does.

Brain Krave also includes several B-vitamins with exact amounts of each being displayed on label. Vitamins are often necesarly as our bodies may not get enough vitamins and minerals from food alone. B-vitamins can also play a key role in brain supplementation supporting better delivery of nutrients to the brain.

The first B vitamin is riboflavin, or B2, which fights free radicals. B3 aids our metabolism in the production of neurotransmitters and pantothenic acid, or B5, is vital for the creation of red blood cells. Pyridoxine, or B6, aids the process of producing the mood enhancing serotonin and norepinephrine while folic acid helps cells function properly and finally there is B12.

As for the rest of the formula, Brain Krave includes a substances called DMAE, which we don’t like. DMAE has been recently banned by the FDA in the United States, Australia, and Canada because it is capable of damaging nerve cells in the long-term.

Is Brain Krave Right For You?

Brain Krave was released back in November 2013 as one of the best brain supplements available on the market. The company has started an aggressive marketing campaign that resulted in thousands of followers in just a few months. So is Brain Krave really that effective as they claim to be?

Brain Krave’s website is organized quite well with menu tabs along the top that cover the product’s ingredients, how they work, testimonials, blog and contact information. Brain Krave markets itself as an “all natural and safe alternative to Adderall.” The company promises that Brain Krave is packed with “powerful ingredients” to help increase focus, memory and energy. Although we know for sure that there is no shortage of Adderall alternatives, we wonder whether Brain Krave can make its way to the top.

Ingredients of Brain Krave

Brain Krave includes the following ingredients: Brain Krave includes the following ingredients: Vitamin C (Asorbic Acid) 15 mg, Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 0.85 mg, Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) 10 mg, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxide HCL) 2.7 mg, Folic Acid 200 mcg, Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) 50 mcg, Vitamin B5 (Penthenol) 1 mg, BrainKave Nootropic Complex (Caffeine, Rhodiola, Bacopa organic extract, Schizandrol-A, Phosphatidylserine, DMAE, L-Tyrosine, Choline, Chloride, Green Tea powder, Huperzine-A, Vinpocetine, and L-Carnitine) 610 mg, and gelatin (capsule).

Effectiveness of Brain Krave

Brain Krave’s formula consists of some interesting ingredients. First is the caffeine. As expected in this type of brain supplements, caffeine is one of the core ingredients. The world’s most famous nootropic, caffeine helps to boost mental alertness. If taken at proper dosages daily then caffeine has been shown to improve brain function.

We’ve noticed that this product is both a multivitamin and a nootropic stack. Many Brain Krave ingredients consist of vitamins and minerals, which are vital to our well being and overall health, but do not apply specifically to our cognitive function.

The formula also includes three herbal extracts: Bacopa Monnieri, Vinpocetine, and Huperzine A. There three common ingredients in brain supplementation are believed to enhance mood and motivation, improve memory, and increase blood flow in the brain allowing improved cognitive function in memory and learning.
As for the rest of the formula, we don’t like the inclusion of DMAE. This substance has been banned by the FDA in the United States, Canada, and Australia because it is capable of damaging nerve cells in the long-term. This is a major red flag and a major reason for concern.

Brain Krave Price

One bottle of Brain Krave contains 30 capsules and costs $34.99. However, since the recommended dose is 2 capsules per day, one month’s supply would cost you $69.98. This is definitely considered expensive in the nootropic market. There are other esteemed products that have been shown to bring prominent results for a cheaper price. If we take the shipping cost into consideration too, then we’re not impressed with the price tag in this case.

Does Brain Krave Work?

Brain Krave is a cognitive enhancing nootropic that promises to improve memory, focus and overall brain health. The formula contains 19 active ingredients ranging from vitamins and minerals to potent nootropics.

However, there are a few aspects of this product we did not like. First, the company’s marketing practices are questionable to say the least. Within the first few months since the release, well over 10.000 people have subscribed to Brain Krave’s social pages, while each post does not receive more than a few likes/re-tweets.

Their promotional video is questionable too. The company has released a video to advertise Brain Krave – in which they claim there is a doctor speaking about Brain Krave’s benefits – that is not convincing at all.

The inclusion of DMAE is another red flag for us. DMAE has been banned by the FDA in the United States, Canada, and Australia because it is capable of damaging nerve cells in the long-term.
