BrainStrong Adult is a brain supplement designed to support the protection of the brain against cognitive decline caused by aging. The formula is designed for adults of all ages.
The manufacturing company is i-Health, a division of the global science-based company DSM. i-Health specializes in developing, marketing and distributing of branded products which support a healthy lifestyle. BrainStrong Adult belongs to the BrainStrong line of products.
The formula contains 900mg/serving of the essential Omega-3 fatty acid DHA. According to the manufacturer, the product contains life’s DHA, a fish-free source of DHA from algae.. The manufacturer claims a recent clinical study conducted on adults over 55 years old with mild memory issues who took 900mg/day of life’s DHA for a period of 6 month revealed improvement in their short-term memory.
BrainStrong Adult Ingredients
BrainStrong Adult contains the following ingredients: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid from algae oil), BrainStrong Proprietary Blend (L-theanine, green tea extract), rice bran oil, vegetable wax, gelatin, glycerin, water, and colors (annatto, carmine and carob).
Product Features
BrainStrong Adult is a formula advertised as a nutritional supplement designed for adults of all ages for the support of brain health. The main active ingredient is a premium DHA extracted from microalgae harvested and processed in specialized facilities.
There is research which claim that DHA extracted from vegetable sources is more efficient than the one extracted from fish oil. The deficiency of DHA has been linked to cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. The Omega-3 fatty acid is considered vital for the brain and eye development in infants which use maternal milk as main source of DHA.
L-theanine, another core benefit of the formula, is a widely-researched, non-essential amino acid, with proven benefits in increasing focus, immune system strength, and inducing a state of relaxation for the body and mind.
BrainStrong Adult recommended use is 3 soft-gels daily taken at once or separately. It is not necessary to be taken with food. It is not suitable for children.

However, this is not a FDA approved product, and informing the healthcare professional before using it, as with all nutritional supplements, is mandatory.

I am allergic to fish so I started using this to get DHA about a yr ago. I didn’t have any side effects. I didn’t notice a sudden change but gradually after about 5 weeks, I was recalling things quicker. I wasn’t forgetting my cell phone or where I put keys. At work,I use a lot of numbers and I kept them In my head longer. This gave me confidence in my abilities, so my energy increased. At one point, I couldn’t find product for a couple of months and I noticed the forgetfulness coming back. I believe this a… Read more »
I felt my memory starting to slip and I started taking Brain Strong. I’m not noticing a lot of effects just yet, but it took a few weeks for my brother-in-law so I’m still keeping my hopes up.
Hey, could you please follow up on whether you actually started having effects? I’ve also been recommended this supplement, i don’t want to waste my money on it if it doesn’t work.
I suggested that my father should use this formula because his memory was in decline, he agreed and now is very grateful. He said that within three weeks he started to notice improvements.
In most cases i almost felt no difference between this and other similar products. But after a longer time, of about two weeks, i became aware of my overall improvement, especially with coping with activity changes, i can focus on new tasks much easier than before.
This product has kind of a silly name but it’s affordable and very good for its price. It has increased my ability to perform complicated activities and be more active in general. I recommend it.
I was noticing that I was not able to concentrate on creative and even on repetitive tasks that I was usually doing very easy. I has been extremely worried and I have tried Brain Strong Adult having no confidence at all. I am glad that I gave it a try.Thanks!
My father seems to be more powerful and confident at work since he have started taking Brain Strong Adult. He claims that he is doing his job more efficiently and that he was promoted last week. My mother is very happy and proud, because she was the one that recommended my father this optimized supplement.
Since I have started taking Brain Strong Adult, I feel more innovative at work, more focused and creative. I dare to take new projects and I accept every challenge. Hope that this energy won’t go away. So far, I think this formula changed my life! I will give it 4 stars!
I am 50 and I am a pharmacist. I worry so much about my memory and I have recently started to take Brain Strong. By now, I am happy with the results, because I do just fine at my work and I hope I will be able to concentrate and keep up the good work.
This is not the best supplement on the market, but I did enjoy using it. It’s also not expensive at all so you can try it and see if it works. Still would have liked better a free trial but hey… I used it for two months before switching. I may come back to it in the future if I get bored.
This was one of the first supplements I’ve taken. I don’t know if it’s worth the money because I never tried something else. From my point of you the effects were kind of subtle. I was expecting more but maybe I just set my expectations way to high,
It’s been a while since I have started Brain Strong Adult administration, but I think it totally worth the wait and investment. Lately I was frequently forgetting where I left my car keys and also important information at work. It really helped me to improve my short term memory.
The smell is pungent but It’s not unlike a lot of the hardcore natural remedies I’ve taken before. When it comes to effectiveness, it is hard to find a product as good as this one for this amount of money. Especially if you find a good deal online.
I see there is a great deal here about the side effects. Honestly I did not feel any of those. No nausea, no vomiting, nothing. It was a good choice for me because It improved my productivity and mood greatly. A nice supplement indeed.
I went through a severe burnout and this product has helped me go through it a lot better than I would otherwise have. It’s hard for me to imagine what would have happened to me if I wouldn’t have taken it. I don’t have anybody that I can count on and this was the only help I had.
I am trying to find something for my mother to help with her memory. Shehad a stroke about three years ago and her merory is continueing to decline since then. My concern is how Brainstrong with interact with
her prescription medications. SHe is on several different Medications. THank You for your reply
Hi Linette,
Brainstrong contains DHA, which is generally safe in both children and adults. However, the formula also contains a proprietary blend of L-theanine and Green Tea extract. The Green Tea extract may contain caffeine and it may interact with your mother’s medication. Therefore, we advise you to discuss this with her doctor (the one who prescribed the medication). Based on her treatment, the doctor is the only one entitled to say if Brainstrong is safe or not.

I took Brain Strong Adult for my grandparents. Although my grandma complains that it smells and tastes horrible, I see an improvement on both. Their short term memory has improved and also they can recall old memories better so that we can share them together.
I felt dizzy after a few weeks but then I realized I was taking too much. After I started taking the normal dose I started to feel better. I started to notice things around me that I never used to and I think that I am becoming a better person because of this product.
I tried this for two months. I heard both good things and bad things about it. Right now, after all the confidence I put into this treatment, I think it barely touches on what it’s supposed to do. I don’t think this is a product that many will be satisfied with, but I do know people that are using it regularly and are delighted by it. Good luck!
It helped me a lot with my memory issues. I used to forget important information even a few minutes after trying to memorize it. It’s safe to say I don’t have to go through the shame of forgetting as much as I did.
Both the name and the smell make me think of animal feed. However, the effects are significant and consistent. I just wished it was presented in a better way.
Not that good considering it smells like a two weeks old garbage bin. The product’s effects are not that bad, but still it’s not worth it. There are way too many alternatives for you to be considering this.
We ordered Brain Strong Adult for my grandma, she’s 75 and has started to forget things including our names. Since she’s been on this supplement (about three months), we noticed an improvement (she now remembers our names and where she’s put her meds, in most cases at least) but her doctor told us she’s not getting better than that. If we want to see a real improvement we should switch to synthetic drugs. But we don’t want to as they could interact with medications for her other illnesses, so all in one, we are pretty satisfied with this product for… Read more »
I don’t see why I should buy Brain Strong Adult when there are so many brain supplements out there that are advertised as not having side effects.
I’m not convinced. I’m using it for a couple of weeks but I don’t feel any difference.
Got this for my mother (she is 68 years old). Leaving the smell aside, this product seems to
work for her. Her memory is better now. She also looks happier. Good supplement.
Brain strong adult changed my life! Thank you BrainOpinions for showing me this amazing
product
It works for me.
I used to take another DHA supplement and then changed to this one but I’m truly
disappointed. Brain strong is more expensive and so far, completely ineffective. I will return to my old supplement and never use this one again.
Its price convinced me to give it a try. I think it is one of the cheapest fish oil products.
I wasn’t a fan of DHA supplements… at least not until now! Brain strong adult is simply
amazing!
My friend recommended me this supplement so I decided to give it a try. I will come back
with a comment.
It smells really bad (a fishy smell). I don’t like it.
Amazing product!
Cheap, effective, easy to take. These are the qualities I’m looking for in a good supplement
and Brain Strong Adult is that kind of supplement. I’m really happy with my purchase
i have only been using Brain strong adult for 30 days… but i definitely have noticed an
increase in both short term memory and long term memory. I recommend this supplement.
I am always forgetting things but after using it for 2 or 3 weeks it really improved my memory.
I tried to use it but the powerful smell made me feel sick from it. I only used it for 2 weeks and I felt a bit of improvement but like I said I couldn’t stand the smell.
Even if it is only for adults it isn’t that strong. I’ve used it for 3 weeks and it didn’t have much effect.
It helped me a lot with my short term memory and I don’t have headaches any more.
