Brain Savior Ingredients: Full 11-Ingredient Breakdown
Every dose published. Three cognitive pathways. No proprietary blends.
Most nootropic supplements hide behind a "proprietary blend" label. Brain Savior takes a different approach: all 11 ingredients are individually dosed on the Supplement Facts label. Here's what each one does and what the research says.
Quick Verdict: 11 individually dosed nootropic ingredients: Lion's Mane 500mg, Choline DL-Bitartrate 250mg, NALT 175mg, Bacopa 150mg, L-Theanine 100mg, Phosphatidylserine 100mg, Maritime Pine Bark 75mg, Rhodiola crenulata 50mg, plus B6, Folate, B12. Stimulant-free, caffeine-free, non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-free.
Neurotransmitter Support
Choline DL-Bitartrate — 250mg. Provides choline, a precursor to acetylcholine — the neurotransmitter most directly tied to memory and learning. A difference worth noting: some of the manufacturer's marketing references "Citicoline," but the Supplement Facts label lists Choline DL-Bitartrate. Citicoline (CDP-Choline) is a different compound with its own research profile. Choline Bitartrate also provides choline for acetylcholine production, but the research on the two forms should not be treated as interchangeable. The label is the authoritative source for what the product contains.
N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine (NALT) — 175mg. A form of tyrosine that can contribute to catecholamine synthesis, including dopamine and norepinephrine. Tyrosine has been studied particularly in situations involving stress, fatigue, or sleep deprivation.
L-Theanine — 100mg. An amino acid naturally found in tea. Human research has examined L-Theanine in relation to relaxation, attention, and alpha-wave activity, particularly when combined with caffeine. The Brain Savior formula itself contains no caffeine. 100mg is within the commonly studied range.
Memory & Neural Health
Bacopa Extract (root) — 150mg. One of the most studied nootropic herbs. Human trials have generally evaluated Bacopa over several weeks, with several randomized trials using 300mg/day for 12 weeks. The 150mg dose in Brain Savior is below the dose used in many of these studies, and the label does not specify the level of bacosides — making direct comparison with published research difficult.
Lion's Mane Mushroom (fruiting body) — 500mg. The highest-dosed ingredient. Contains compounds including hericenones and erinacines that have been studied for their possible relationship to nerve growth factor (NGF). The dose should be interpreted cautiously: published human research has used substantially different preparations and doses, including studies using substantially higher daily amounts.
Phosphatidylserine — 100mg. A phospholipid that constitutes a significant portion of brain cell membranes. Multiple studies have examined its role in cognitive function in older adults. 100mg is within the commonly studied range.
Rhodiola crenulata (root) — 50mg. An adaptogenic herb. Important: this is Rhodiola crenulata, not Rhodiola Rosea — different species with different research profiles. Most published nootropic research uses Rhodiola Rosea at 200-400mg. At 50mg of the crenulata species, the dose is below typical studied ranges.
Cerebral Blood Flow
Maritime Pine Bark Extract — 75mg. A source of proanthocyanidins studied for effects on microcirculation and antioxidant activity. Some research has examined its potential relationship with cerebral blood flow and oxidative stress. Also has antiplatelet properties, so people taking blood-thinning or antiplatelet medication should speak with a healthcare professional before use. Full safety profile →
Essential Brain Vitamins
Vitamin B6 (2.5mg), Folate (100mcg DFE), Vitamin B12 (7.5mcg). These vitamins participate in several metabolic pathways, including neurotransmitter synthesis and homocysteine metabolism. Their presence supports normal nutritional functions, but their inclusion does not by itself establish a cognitive effect from the finished Brain Savior formula.
What Makes This Formula Different
Full dose transparency. Every ingredient individually dosed on the label. No proprietary blend hiding inadequate amounts. You can check each dose against published research ranges yourself.
Multi-pathway approach. Addresses cognitive function through neurotransmitter production, cerebral blood flow, and neural health research — rather than loading up on a single mechanism.
No clinical trial has tested the finished Brain Savior formula as a complete product. The individual ingredients have varying levels of published research, with Bacopa, Phosphatidylserine, and Lion's Mane supported by published human studies.
Frequently Asked Questions

Bacopa Extract, Phosphatidylserine, and Lion's Mane have the most published research in cognitive health contexts. Bacopa has multiple controlled studies examining its effects over periods of several weeks.
Does Brain Savior use a proprietary blend?
No. Every ingredient has its individual dose published on the Supplement Facts label. No proprietary blend hiding amounts.
Does it contain caffeine or stimulants?
No. Zero caffeine, zero stimulants. Also non-GMO, gluten-free, and soy-free.
Brain Savior is a dietary supplement and has not been evaluated by the FDA. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
