Brain Nerd Mega Mind

Brain Nerd Mega Mind Review

Brain Nerd Mega Mind is a nootropic supplement that will supposedly provide intense mental focus and mood enhancement. The product combines Aniracetam and Choline, along with numerous other ingredients, but the ingredient quantities appear to be lower than ideal for optimum effect.

The front of the bottle’s label states that the product is a “daily formula”, but the directions for use state that the supplement is for occasional use only. This is a bizarre clash of messages, and it is unclear which option should be followed. Certainly, if you experience any side effects when taking this supplement, discontinue use immediately and consult a medical professional.

Mega Mind is manufactured by Brain Nerd, who are based in the USA. They can be contacted using the information provided on their official website, or through their social media pages, including Facebook and Instagram.

Brain Nerd currently have a range of four nootropic supplements, including Brain Nerd Focal Point, and Brain Nerd Final Exam which bizarrely claims to boost testosterone, enhance muscle mass, and improve sex life. We cannot see the connection with passing exams and doing well with studies as the name suggest.

What Does Brain Nerd Mega Mind Claim To Do?

The manufacturers provide the following description of the product’s benefits:

“Our most complete and epic nootropic stack ever created. Mega Mind is meticulously crafted from the finest ingredients that we could source from across the entire world. The formulation of Mega Mind has one sole purpose. Its purpose is to bring you to a higher level of consciousness then you ever imagined. Within minutes of digestion you feel a rush of creativity and euphoria. Our beta testers described the feeling as “blissful genius”. This formula is specifically designed to stimulate the Pre-frontal cortex of the brain. You can expect a dramatic increase in working memory as well as lightning fast synaptic recall. Mega Mind is designed for everyday use and created from the most pure and bio available ingredients available on the market.”

Does Brain Nerd Mega Mind Work?

There are numerous ingredients in Brain Nerd Mega Mind which have varying amounts of clinical support. However, if the active ingredients are not provided in high enough quantities, then they will not offer great results; this is the main problem with Brain Nerd Mega Mind. Typical dosages of choline range between 250 mg and 1000 mg a day, whilst typical doses of aniracetam fall between 500 mg and 1500 mg, with the best results being seen at daily doses of 1000 mg or more. The quantities of these ingredients provided in Mega Mind fall well below even the lower end of these figures.

Hordenine may produce an energy boost as it is a stimulant, but it is not commonly used in nootropics, being found slightly more often in weight loss supplements.

The product will definitely not provide the “super human results” promised on the bottle’s logo.

What Are The Ingredients of Brain Nerd Mega Mind?

The ingredients found in Brain Nerd Mega Mind are detailed below. The ingredient quantities listed are per serving of two capsules.

• Aniracetam 375 mg: Thought to promote creativity, although there most evidence is anecdotal or from rat studies. The limited evidence from human studies suggests that daily doses between 1000 mg and 1500 mg are effective, much higher than the amount found in Mega Mind. Aniracetam encourages acetylcholine release; Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter which is linked with improved learning, memory retention, and recall. Source
• Sulbutiamine 140 mg: A synthetic molecule that consists of two thiamine molecules bound together chemically. It is thought that Sulbutiamine can treat fatigue, although evidence is still preliminary. Source
• Choline 125 mg: Choline supplementation appears to improve attention, and could improve memory, although the dose was much higher than appears to be used here, and the relevant study focused upon the elderly. Choline is required to make increased levels of acetylcholine in the brain. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter which is linked with improved learning, memory retention and recall. Source
• Coconut Oil Powder 100 mg: Coconut oil is one of the most recent “superfoods” that has blown up in popularity in recent years. Coconut Oil is composed predominately of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT), which can theoretically help to boost cognitive functioning by releasing ketones. However, studies that specifically use coconut oil are lacking. Source
• N Acetyl Tyrosine 75 mg: An amino acid that is a building block of protein, this ingredient is found naturally in many foods including meat and dairy products. In existing trials, L-Tyrosine appears to effectively improve cognition and memory during stressful periods. It also appears to help reduce fatigue in sleep deprived individuals. Source
• Guarana 60 mg: Guarana is a seed that naturally contains caffeine. Numerous studies have shown that caffeine boosts energy levels and alertness, as well as mildly boosting the metabolism. The effects shown in studies are small, and some studies are inconclusive. Source
• Hordenine 12.5 mg: Hordenine is a known compound in Bitter Orange, and is thought to act as a stimulant to increase the metabolism and fat burning. As a stimulant, it will also likely boost energy levels. Source
• NADH 5 mg: May lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and help to boost energy. NADH is produced naturally in the body, and is involved with making energy in the body. Source

Does Brain Nerd Mega Mind Have Any Side Effects?

There are some ingredients in Brain Nerd Mega Mind that could potentially cause a range of side effects.

Although Tyrosine is tolerated generally in very high doses, it can cause some side effects including nausea, headache, fatigue, heartburn, and joint pain.

Reported side effects of Aniracetam vary widely, but the most commonly noted are insomnia, headaches, anxiety, pain, vertigo, nausea, and diarrhoea. The dose provided in Brain Nerd Mega Mind is relatively low compared to other products and the available clinical evidence; this reduces the likelihood of side effects, but they may still occur. Headaches are bar far the most reported side effect of Aniracetam, but they can be reduced by combining aniracetam with choline, as this supplement has done.

Side effects that can occur from supplementing choline include sweating, a fishy body odour, gastrointestinal distress, diarrhoea, and vomiting. The risk of side effects increases as the dose rises, but the dose provided in Brain Nerd Mega Mind is relatively low compared to commonly recommended dosages.

Hordenine is a stimulant found in bitter orange, and some other plants. Side effects associated with the use of Hordenine and other bitter orange extracts include increased heart rate and increased blood pressure, heart palpitations, fainting, muscle disorders, seizures, irregular heartbeat, loss of consciousness, strokes, heart attacks, and death in previously healthy patients. The Mayo Clinic has recommended avoiding use of bitter orange and its extracts, including hordenine because in their opinion, the risk of using the product is not worth the risk.

Guarana naturally contains caffeine. Significant quantities of caffeine can cause side effects such as headaches, increased urination, dehydration, jitteriness, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, heart palpitations, and problems sleeping. Consumers should avoid other sources of caffeine whilst taking this supplement to avoid increasing the chances of side effects developing. Consumers should also stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day, and should not taking this product in the late afternoon or evening. These measures will minimise the chances of side effects occurring.

Are There Any Customer Reviews For Brain Nerd Mega Mind?

Although there are numerous customer reviews for Brain Nerd products in general, no customers specifically state which product they are reviewing.

There are lots of generic Brain Nerd customer reviews on Facebook, but the majority of these were posted in bundles on the same days as each other, the 15th and 16th December 2016, and 10th March 2017. This block posting pattern is suspicious, and leads us to think that the people who left reviews on these days has some kind of incentive.
