Botanical complex, 617 mg in total:

DMAE bitartrate, L-glutamine HCL, glutamic acid, green tea extract, bacopa extract, inositol, bilberry fruit extract, GABA, grape seed extract, grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf, cinnamon bark extract, licorice root extract, boron, DHA 14%, vanadyl, phosphatidylserine and huperzine A. The 617 mg is the declared total for all eighteen together; the label does not break them out individually.

Everything else:

• Hypromellose – the vegetable capsule itself
• Rice flour – fills the capsule so the powder sits at a consistent volume
• Magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide – keep the powder flowing on the line so every capsule holds the same amount

Contains soy and fish, from tuna. Gluten free, lactose free and hormone free, all confirmed for this product. Manufactured in the USA.

This formula carries a long ingredient list, so please talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you start, particularly with the following:

• Anything grapefruit affects – the complex contains grapefruit seed extract. Grapefruit changes how a long list of prescription medications is cleared from the body, including some statins and blood pressure medication. Ask your pharmacist to check your specific list
• Blood pressure medication and potassium-sparing diuretics – the complex contains licorice root, which is not recommended alongside these, and the formula also carries added potassium
• Iron supplements and thyroid medication – there is iron in this formula. Doubling up on iron is not advisable, and iron interferes with the absorption of thyroid medication if they are taken close together
• Anticholinergic and cholinergic medication – the complex contains huperzine A and DMAE, which act on the same system some prescription medications do
• Blood thinners – a standard check before adding any formula containing vitamin E and botanical extracts

If you take prescription medication of any kind, check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this or any dietary supplement.

In a cool, dry place with the cap closed. A bathroom cabinet is the one place not to keep it, because steam is what softens a veggie capsule and shortens the life of the botanicals inside it. A kitchen cupboard away from the kettle is ideal.

Do not use it if the safety seal is damaged or missing, and keep it out of the reach of children. This matters with this product in particular: accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. If an overdose is suspected, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.

As a dietary supplement, take two veggie capsules once a day. For best results take them 20 to 30 minutes before a meal with an 8 oz glass of water, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

Two things worth knowing. Attach it to breakfast rather than picking a time, because a fixed anchor is what gets a supplement past week two. And take the full glass of water seriously; the iron in this formula is the part most likely to sit badly if you take it dry or on a completely empty stomach.

Thirty. The bottle holds 60 veggie capsules and a serving is two capsules taken once a day, so a bottle is thirty days. Gross weight with the bottle is 82 g, which is the figure on the shipping label rather than the amount of formula you get.

This is for adults and is not intended for children. Pregnant or nursing mothers, anyone under the age of 18, and anyone with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement. Keep out of the reach of children.

Three specific to this product. It contains soy and fish from tuna, so it is not for you if you react to either. It contains iron, so speak to your doctor first if you already supplement iron or have been told to limit it. And it contains folate with no vitamin B12; if you are vegetarian, vegan, over fifty, or on long-term acid-reducing medication, cover your B12 separately and mention this formula to your doctor.
