Overview

Onnit Alpha Brain is a nootropic supplement featuring a blend of Alpha-GPC, Bacopa Monnieri, Cat's Claw, Huperzia Serrata, and L-Theanine. Made famous by Joe Rogan's long-running endorsement, Alpha Brain is one of the few nootropics with a published clinical trial showing improvements in verbal memory and executive function. However, the proprietary blend format means exact ingredient doses are not disclosed.

Our Verdict

6.5/10 — Average

Alpha Brain is the most famous nootropic on the market, and it does have a published clinical trial — which is more than most nootropics can claim. However, the proprietary blend and $2.50+ per serving pricing are hard to justify when you can buy the individual ingredients (Alpha-GPC, Bacopa, L-Theanine) separately for a fraction of the cost with known doses.
