Neuroflexyn Review – Miracle Pill or Dud?
By: Rob MillerFact Checked On: 7-12-2016
If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time, you know we’ve been diving into Nootropics supplements quite a bit lately. Some of the marketers behind these products use fake ads, stories, and even celebrity endorsements to promote their products, illegally of course. One supplement that completely slipped under my radar is a product called Neuroflexyn, which is a “mind boosting” supplement that boasts a number of benefits which we will talk about below.
While I haven’t been able to find any specific ads talking about it, one of my readers pointed out that the marketing is nearly IDENTICAL to that of Neuro 3X and Brainstorm Elite. Rather then write a HUGE post on how they (Neuroflexyn, that is) deliberately lies to potential consumers, you can do to those 2 product reviews and see what I am talking about.
This post is intended to study the supposed benefits behind this supplement, and shine some light on whether or not it works.
What is Neuroflexyn?
According to the products official website, Neuroflexyn is a supposed “smart pill”, which is designed to improve mental cognition, focus, and memory retention. Similar to the effects of ADHD / ADD medications, this all natural formula is supplement to help increase energy, elevate your productivity at work, and even help you on the playing field.
Looking through the ingredients list, we see a number of all natural (and well known) nootropic substances that on their own actually do have some potential to increase cognition and concentration. But, it’s the blend of these ingredients that apparently makes it so effective.
Ingredients in Neuroflexyn
Now comes the boring part…the ingredients in this supposed “miracle mind booster”. According to the label, Neuroflexyn contains the following: Vitamin E, B6, and B12, Folate, DMAE Bitartrate, Eleuthero Extract, Omega-3 Complex, GABA, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf extract, Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), Vinpocentine, Huperzine-A, and a “brain blend” which contains bacopa monnieri extract and picamillon.
I don’t want to get into the nitty-gritty details of EVERY ingredient, but I will summarize the most important ones I see:
DMAE Bitartrate: Otherwise known as Dianol, DMAE has been shown to help patients with ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, and Autism by improving memory, boosting thinking skills and performance, and increasing intelligence.
GABA: This amino acid has been shown to help lower anxiety levels, as well as help improve sleep quality and put you in a more relaxed mood. (1) As we all know, a great nights sleep is usually followed by a more productive day, so I can see why they added this to the mix.
Ginkgo Biloba: Ginkgo biloba is another ingredient that has been shown to help improve memory and mental cognition, especially in the elderly. I have used Gingko personally with mixed results. Sometimes it seemed like it help me concentrate, and sometimes it felt like nothing more then a placebo effect. I often recommend combining ginkgo with Ginseng extract for the best effects.
Alpha Lipoic Acid: ALA as it’s commonly known, has been shown to help increase insulin sensitivity, and may be especially useful in addressing metabolic syndrome. Why is this important? Well, it’s been also shown to help improve memory by protecting the brain and nerve tissue through this process. (2)
Reviews of Neuroflexyn
Searching for Neuroflexyn reviews is a bit like searching for the holy grail…there’s plenty of evidence that it exists, but no credible testimonials seem to exist. The majority of so-called “reviews” are nothing more then affiliate blogs (likely setup by the company) that are a garbled mess of nonsensical words that don’t even constitute an experience with the product.
Finding information on Youtube was equally as worthless, as evident by the most heavily watched “review” of Neuroflexyn:
What….the f%$k was that?! Haha. I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or shout at my computer at that one…To see someone actually took the time out of their day to even post that shows me that the person probably does not have much of a life.
I also searched on the Neuroflexyn Facebook page expecting to see a flood of positive customer reviews / experiences, but was unable to find that many people talking about it.
Potential Side Effects from Neuroflexyn
The company that makes Neuroflexyn boasts that their formula is side effect free, but nothing could be further from the truth. For example, one of the primary ingredients (DMAE) has been shown to cause numerous negative effects, including constipation, vivid dreams, increased blood pressure, drowsiness, and even insomnia. (3) Another primary ingredient Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), has been shown in clinical studies to cause adverse effects, including headaches, skin rash, muscle cramps, and a “pins and needles” sensation. (4)
Where To Buy It
From what I can tell, Neuroflexyn is only available on their official website. I asked around at a few local retailers such as GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Walmart, and a few others and noone has ever even heard of it.
On the positive side, it’s not a very expensive product. A 1 month supply will run you $49.95, and the company offers discounts of up to $20 per bottle on select orders. The company does offer a 30 day money back guarantee, but you have to cancel NO LATER then 30 days from ordering, ship it back at your own expense, and be charged a $5 restocking fee per unit.
Conclusion
The fact that there is a HUGE lack of credible customer feedback about this product says 2 things…1.) It has only been on the market for a very short period of time, so there aren’t enough people talking about it and 2.) It likely doesn’t work as well as they say it does. Of course, there is no way to tell with ABSOLUTE certainty whether or not Neuroflexyn could work for you without trying it, but my money says it’s probably not worth the money.
In addition, the ingredients list is nothing “award winning”. Many of these ingredients can be found in your typical over the counter multi-vitamin, and even the nootropics boosting compounds seem to be a bit lacking. Finally, while I haven’t officially seen the ads, many guys are telling me that the people (or some marketers) over at Neuroflexyn are pulling the same crap that the Brainstorm Elite and Neuro 3X guys were pulling, so don’t say you weren’t warned!

User Reviews
Have you used this supplement?
Neuroflexyb
I am over 60 and have a number of medical issues and must take a number of prescription medications. Because of some very serious drug interactions in the past I am VERY cautious in checking side effects and interactions before I take any medication or supplement. This product has been challenging researching. I care little about FAQs or customer testimonials, both of which can be manufactured. My concern is attempting to discover exactly what is in the capsule, how much, and unnamed ingredients. When I read something like "Brain Blend" I do become even more alert. Another concern is hearing there may be other ingredients which are not listed. I cannot say I am unsatisfied, but I am concerned, and believe supplements should be required to list all ingredients exhaustively, exact quantities of each, and perhaps even additional information without a sales pitch.

neuroflexyn
Before I tell you about the product I want to tell you about the ordering delays and problems that happened to me.They took my money by credit and they promised7 days. It took almost 2 months to rreceive the trial - as they call it. After 2 days of receiving the product they sent the USPS tracking info which was useless at that point. Now about the product itself. The label ingredients are printed so small you need a magnifier to read them. They recommend taking three a day at meal. I assumed three meals a day = three pill times. I kept in contact with their customer reporting once a night about my experience while taking neuroflexyn. They e-mailed me on the 3rd day to tell me to take all three pills in the morning at breakfast. I was wondering why the product wasn't working so I started the next day accordingly. By the sixth night I knew for sure the product did absolutely nothing to me or for me. Tho seventh day I took three in the morning and increased the dosage throughout the day by taking 2 more - one at lunch & one at dinner - for a total of 5 in one day. The product did nothing inside of me. I e-mailed customer relations one last time on the seventh night to tell them that this test was over and that neuroflexyn was pretty much worthless. And at the time I was taking neuroflexyn I found an app that allows you to learn a new language for free. It wouldn't of been a true test if I did it alone so my girlfriend joined in. She did not take the neuroflexyn because she has high blood pressure and neuroflexyn isn't recommended for people like her. By the of the week not only did not remember any of the Spanish but I was beat by my girlfriend who is 5 years older than me and never finished grammer school. She is 50 years old and I'm in better health - go figure. After 2 days of not taking neuroflexyn they e-mailed me to ask if I was still taking the product. They said that it works different for everyone and that I should increase the dosage I'm taking. I didn't tell them that I already tried that. All I said was no I'm not taking it anymore. I was already ahead of them in that game. I also told them that they don't have my john Hancock on anything positive aboutneuroflexyn. To the public: the product dodoesn't work so don't waiste your time or money. Tom O'Callaghan. thomasdude45@hot mail.com.

no side effects
Have been using neuroflexin for about 4 months. While it certainly does not produce any of the side effects mentioned in blogs, I'm pretty sure it has improved my cognitive performance. While I am not aware of a huge difference, I have noticed that I am not forgetting dates, appointments, or conversations as I had been prone to. It has not increased my energy levels, however.

I contacted you when I first thought about orrdering. I have been using a few weeks now. Received order in good time. Started with 3 capsules every morning.Am into my second bottle now and really haven’t noticed much if anything. Did seem to get a
a little less patient with people since then (am normally a verry patient person) ..seem to sleep better but no big differences in anything else.

Because you take prescription medication, you'll need to check with your doctor. Take an ingredient list with you so you can be sure you're sharing the right information.- Rob

I am a 61 year old man have been supplementing for over 40 years now i take Neuroflexyn on and off especially when i feel any cognitive decline as i get older, it is in my personal opinion a very good product. It really brings back my mental clarity and and focus as i age more. its one of my go to supplements that i cycle…
Followed all instructions to the letter. Received receipt notification and was told that my account would be credited.
That was April 23rd 2015 and I have received no money to date. The phone number has been disconnected and I have twice contacted customer service and while they say they will look into it, nothing ever happens.
Thumbs down From me!
I tried to phone as well and finally I got a message saying it had been disconnected. I basically gave up, What a scam.
Very very irritating.

I tryed to email and never get a reply either, So now, I spent the money and can’t get my product or a refund.

They said they don’t make 90 per bottle anymore. I said they should quit showing them on their advertisements, plus most companies give you enough for a one month supply per bottle. 1/3 of the pills for one month is missing otherwise.
I guess it doesn’t matter since the pills did nothing.
I guess I will have to keep trying or get credit card involved. How long did it take to get your refund.
Just like to leave some feedBack from my experience after taking neuroflexyn for 4 days
I would take 3 pills right after lunch
As I work 10 hours a day 5-6days a week as a head waiter at a busy restaurant.
I have recently past month cut off all acid drinks and V redbull due to dependance on them and after a while they just gave me a sore stomach.
So I came across neuroflexyn which seemed pretty cool with ads and all.
Ordered off ebay got it in about 3 weeks
Since I have been taking it I notice a burst in energy and strenghth while working I felt faster and more focused but nothing like the limitless pill in the movie.
Occasionally I felt my temples on both sides of my head would feel a bit swollen or tight.. not sure how to explain it but no pain
And also orgasms seemed to be a bit more intense lol
anyone have any similar effects?
I would say it boosted my focus about 50-90% but not 300% like I was hoping
Any other products available?
Thanks for the feedback. I’m not surprised. Check out Optimind. It’s my top pick.

I just bought 2 bottles off Amazon. There are 250 reviews with an average rating of 4 stars I believe.
I usually put faith into amazon reviews when I buy a product, but I also don’t usually buy this type of product.
How do you feel about the fact that it is being sold on amazon to begin with, and what do you make of the reviews?
Thanks,
Dean
Actually, I’m glad the free trial/autoship scam isn’t the only way to buy it. That’s a good thing. But I don’t put a lot of trust in Amazon reviews. Some are totally legit, but some are put there buy the companies selling their products, so you never can tell. Check out my post about how to spot a fake review on Amazon: https://www.supplementcritique.com/how-to-spot-a-fake-supplement-review-on-amazon/
You’ll have to let us know how it works for you.

I got 5 bottles of 60 pills in bottle. That is short 30 pills per month.
I called their customer service number and was told that it only comes in 60 pill bottles now. I asked why I was mislead to believe it was a 5 month supply,and the girl (Shayla) could only tell me that she is just a call center.
She agreed to give me one more bottle (of 60) for free and to refund me $15.00. I told her that it was short 150 pills (30 x 5 months), and 60 pills from one bottle and 15 back would only equate to 1/2 an order or 30 pills, so that totals 90 pills reimbursement, so I was still short 60 pills.
She said that was the best she could do and if I didn’t like it I could send an email to their marketing department. Which I did.
This is a scam from a misrepresentation perspective. I took 2 a day (which would equate to the new 60 amount) for a month and felt no results.
If I had known you needed to take 3 a day, then I would have done so, but still the recommended dosage of 3 a day for 30 days is still not a full month supply, as was represented in their advertising (it is only for 20 days).
So I said why not, i’m down to give it a try! I will let you know when I receive the product and then track my results for you.
I’m looking forward to seeing if this stuff really does what they “say” it does!
Great! Looking forward to hearing how it works out for you.

All these long life side effects were left from treatments such as chemotherapy medicines and radiation. Now I am on my third bottle and I feel the difference in an increase of all my Brain functions.I take 3 pills a day, but I take them after a good meal.
There have been times when I don’t eat well, I get headaches and even stomach aches. As far as all the improvements they claim to have,on a scale of 1 to 10, I will score it 7.
Remember my situation is different, after all the Brain trauma,changes in normal activities, eating a balanced diet,plus making an effort to exercise more, the improvement has been a good outcome for me. However I still remain cautious like all of you here, in looking for authentic reviews and various health issues if any.
Thanks for your feedback. It’s good to hear you’ve found something that helps!

Just discovered your website. The comments are a
bit scary.
I just received 5 bottles and havnt tried it yet. Sshould I??
It seems like most of the negative stuff is about the marketing practices, not so much the supplement itself. The recommended dose is 3 pills in the morning.
Start off with 1 or 2 instead to make sure that if there are any side effects, they’ll be mild. Let us know how things work out.

If it in fact is a combination of the Placebo affect and a slight improvement I will be happy. Any improvement would be worth the try.
I think most of us have easily spent $100 or so on bar tabs. Why not try it?
Keep you posted;)
I totally agree! Looking forward to hearing how it works out for you.

I’ve ordered Neuroflexyn through the website about a week ago and now I’m waiting for it to arrive in the Mail any day now. Once I’ve started using Neuroflexyn I would be happy to come back and give my review on this product. Like everyone here I’ve been looking for reviews only to find a lot of false testimonials with links to buy now.
I really hopes this works as my aim here is to help increase my concentration to improve my every day tasks. As well as see if meditation results also improve while using this product.
Will write back soon with my findings.

I have been a business owner for 10 years and I can easily and productively run my day as long its full of small tasks or going places and completing a set of tasks (installations), sometimes I have so much stuff to do that I forget to do things, especially if they require sitting and do work on the computer for a few hours like putting together a design/proposal. I have a lot of interruptions like phone calls and emails and messages from clients that drive me away from my “major task of the day”.
I get easily distracted, and that makes it hard to concentrate on a sustained basis. Also, sometimes my mind just doesn’t connect because I have so much to do that I don’t know where to start, plus the stress….
From this background I plan on sharing my experience when I start taking it, and leave you with one main question and concern: can anyone explain what happens when one stops taking it? do I get back to where I started?
Looking forward to reading about your experience when you take it. And yes, once you are no longer taking these kinds of pills, the effects fade away.
They are not permanent.

I haven’t, but I looked it up, and I think you mean Nitrovit? If so, give me a couple weeks and I’ll let you know when I’ve posted a review.

Now it’s been a few weeks since I taken it and it doesn’t seem like much increase in IQ but slight improvement in memory I guess. However as a woman I believe it may have changed my menstruation cycle.
Has any women had a change with their cycle, I’m very curious to know.
I haven’t heard of this side effect. Maybe other readers will have some input on the subject.

It worked well enough at first but better over time. I am a better version of myself! #neuroflexyn
I as well had heard about neuroflexyn and was curious to read reviews about whether it works or not. I could not find any that looked legitimate, but soon found this page.
I am eager to read what the side effects or lack there of when using the product.
The drowsiness is probably a result of such vivid dreaming. I would not be supprised of higher blood presure since more oxygen to the brain gives it more to work with.
I just hope some one with a real review would post it soon. I am a programmer and could use a real mental boost.
Coffee puts me to sleep and I can only drink so much tea.
But thanks for not posting a ‘try it now link’. I would have gone running from your site foreever if you hand.
You cant be non biased and directly provide links to products no one seems to know anything about. It is getting harder to find real information about important supplements.
I would also like to know what would happen if you stopped using such a product/supplement cold turkey.
If it works or if there is some other collection of compounds that would really help mental clarity and memory I would sure use it.
The one I like best is called Optimind. It uses all natural ingredients, and it’s the closest thing to legal aderall that I’ve tried to date. There’s a link to the product from my review. I only do that with supplements I’ve tried and had real success with.

I am a huge procrastinator and I have been getting a lot of things done since trying neuroflexyn. I just gave a bottle to my coworker to see what they experience.
My initial thoughts and feelings about neuroflexyn is that it might be working, but I’m not entirely certain.
I’ve noticed a slight increase in irritability along with a more active self-awareness and clarity of mind the last couple of days. But this could also be a placebo effect … so since it’s only been a few days I’ll wait a week or two to post a follow up.
After my 10 day cleanse was finished I started taking neuroflexyn again. I am taking 3 pills with breakfast every morning.
I also want to state that I also take other herbal supplements to promote energy and weight loss, krill oil, pro biotics and other dietary supplements. I also started drinking an average of 140-150 ounces of water daily, in addition to starting excercising 4-5 times a week for an hour per session (I had literally zero excercise before).
My diet has changed also. I now eat “clean” whole foods and minimal or non processed foods only.
So my review is not merely going to be about introducing neuroflexyn into a regular life style. Rather I will be stating how neuroflexyn has supplemented me in my dramatic life style changes.
First I will start off by noting any adverse or negative side effects I may have noticed since taking the supplement.
The first few days of use I noticed myself becoming agitated easily and much more irritable much more often. I also noticed, however, that I was able to quickly cool off and think about the situation much more tactfully. Thankfully this is no longer happening and I feel like I have returned to normal.
I also noticed more anxiety than usual. I feel like I MUST be doing something all the time, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but the anxiety is there when I am not being as productive as I would like to be.
I may suffer from adult ADD and it really does feel like it has enabled me to be more focused. I am studying for a certification exam and I finally have the drive and focus to allow me to consistently study throughout the day.
I do feel like my memory has been improved as well. I may not be able to memorize every little detail about everything, but I am able to remember what errands to run every day and I no longer need to have the wife text me what groceries to pick up at the store.
I noticed that my memory recall has improved. I am able to take a moment and clearly think about what topic we might be conversing on.
I also have much more energy and drive for the entire day, but I do notice I get tired earlier in the night. This, of course, is after a productive day so it doesn’t bother me that I am knocking out at 10pm instead of having to stay up until midnight to get anything done.
That’s it for now – I will follow up in a couple more weeks with my progress.
Great! Looking forward to it.

I really noticed it the first day I started taking Neuroflexyn. My mind was really foggy, but a few hours after I took the pills, my mind had cleared up.
I have also noticed that I have been coming up with ideas more so than in the past. I have always had ideas pop in my mind from time to time, but it has been constant.
There has been an increase in irritability towards certain people/things, but I am not sure if it is due to the Neuroflexyn or my new birth control. :-/
I have also noticed that it is easier for me to wake up in the mornings.
I normally hit snooze numerous times and drag in the mornings. Since taking Neuroflexyn, I have been able to bounce out of bed and get my day started almost immediately.
My opinion so far… Does it make you a genius? No.
Does it improve my being? Yes.
I will provide another update when I have completed my first bottle.
Thanks.
