Review: NEURO-PEAK Brain Support Supplement (Do Nootropics Work?)

Every time I hear about nootropics I have 3 main initial reactions. The first is fear, or perhaps just a healthy degree of questioning and trepidation. The second is references to coders and professionals who work at all hours of the day and night, sometimes for 24 hours consecutively, and feel a need for a non-pharmaceutical grade approach to exceeding limitations of the human brain.

A need to challenge the self and the brain to perform at a level it wasn’t necessarily intended to. And the final is a reference to Bradley Cooper in Limitless, where he’s able to clean his entire apartment, read a shelf of books, and develop theories on litigation with no prior experience to later use for dating prowess.

There always seems to be the risk of side effects or consequences to supplements, particularly any involving the central nervous system. But there’s not any doubt that a huge market exists for nootropics and cognitive enhancing drugs, even those seeking simple concentration that coffee does not address are interested. Or the middle-aged man who loses his keys too often and forgets first names.

And often we seek an approach that’s available to us over the counter, one we’re hopeful has less risks involved than a prescriptive stimulant. Admittedly, it’s a concept I still approach with a high degree of skepticism and doubt. But most users are singing praises to NEURO-PEAK for their popular brain support stimulant.

NEURO-PEAK’s OTC CNS “pseudo-stimulant” claims to help users achieve a more positive mood, mental clarity and focus, improved productivity, increased alertness, and better memory-recall. Their claim to differentiation in a crowded market of supplements is providing users with peak performance with consistent daily usage.

So we wanted to review further and evaluate the benefits, negatives, safety concerns, and overall practical use of this product.

Here’s a brief look at what most users have to say, the good, and the bad:

• May decrease a need for caffeine, OTC off label use products and prescriptive products

NEURO-PEAK Brain Support Supplement: The Final Verdict

While many seem to love this product and the supplement market at large, the honest feedback in this case is the claim to a “scientific formulation” is questionable, as the product is not FDA approved or founded by physicians.

With that said, this is the most popular nootropic and memory recall supplement on the market at the moment, and the field is certainly buzzing- so many agree this is a useful and effective product that alleviates some of the stress of everyday life and improves concentration.

While I’d personally prefer to stick with an extra cup of coffee, there are many fans of this product- and some claim to have stopped using pharmaceutical-grade treatments or prescriptions in favor of a more natural approach.

Ultimately purchasing any type of supplement product is a very individual and personal choice, and to reiterate one to do with a healthy degree of trepidation. With that said the vast majority of fans and users of this specific formulation have raved about the product, with far more positive reviews than negative.
