Updated 12/21/24. For the longest time, I thought Neora (formally Nerium International) was a skincare company. I had no idea Neora had supplements, too – until I became aware of a brain formula supplement called EHT. This supplement is VERY different from other memory supplements I've seen and reviewed here. In this unbiased review (I don't work for the company), we will look at the science, research, and ingredients of Neora EHT. Does it improve memory and help concussions reduce the odds of getting dementia? These are some of the questions I'll address. Does it really work? Is it the real deal or a scam? Let's see what we can discover. Also, see the Neora Fit Review
What Is Neora EHT Brain Formula?
From the website of the company that makes this supplement, we learn EHT for the brain it is “a mixture of bioactive molecules isolated from coffee that helps strengthen neural connections and promote optimal brain health.”
What does that mean?
That description is pretty vague, but it sounds like Neora EHT is supposed to help the brain work better. They used to call this a “mind enhancement formula” although that wording has since been removed from the company website. Anything that could help the brain work better might – in theory – lead to several health benefits ranging from improved memory to protection against dementia.
We'll address some of these issues in the sections below.
Neora EHT Brain Formula Ingredients
According to the product website (Neora.com) a box contains a 30-day supply. Taking 1 tablet of Neora EHT has the following ingredients:
| Nutrient | Amount Per Serving | Percent Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) | 2000 IU | 500% DV |
| Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCL) | 1.6 mg | 80% DV |
| Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) | 10 mcg | 167% DV |
| Magnesium (from 100 mg mag citrate) | 16 mg | 4% DV |
| Selenium (selenomethionine) | 70 mcg | 100% DV |
| Huperzine-A | 50 mcg | N/A |
| Alpha lipoic acid | 50 mg | N/A |
| EHT (proprietary coffee blend) | 35 mg | N/A |
In the table above, “N/A” means there is no daily value for that particular nutrient.
While the product website says the product also contains sodium hyaluronate, this ingredient is not listed on the Supplement Facts label.
While vitamin B12 was originally present as cyanocobalamin, this has been changed to methylcobalamin. This is a trendy ingredient, but I don't see an advantage to it for most people.
Other Ingredients
Neora EHT also has the following “other ingredients” listed. I’ve put them in order as they appear on the label:
- Dicalcium phosphate
- Microcrystalline cellulose
The tablet coating of the product is composed of :
- Polyvinyl alcohol
- Titanium dioxide (color)
- Macrogol
- Vanillin (extract of a vanilla bean)
- Talc
- Croscarmellose sodium
- Stearic acid
- Magnesium stearate
- Silica
These other ingredients likely play no role in any benefits from the product.
Now, let's see if the EHT brain formula supplement has any memory research. After that, we'll look at the research on its ingredients.
Neora EHT Research
Does Neora EHT have any proof that it really improves memory?
Searching clinical databases for studies revealed none.
No relevant investigations showed up.
- Likewise, the company website shows no studies either.
All this tells this reporter that no clinical evidence exists for this supplement.
Summary of Search Results:
- Pubmed.gov: no studies located
- ClinicalTrials.gov: no studies located
- Google search: no studies located
- Neora.com: no studies located
If there are clinical research studies on Neora EHT and memory, they cannot be found.
That doesn't necessarily mean the product doesn't work. Rather, it just means nobody has tested it – yet. And that includes the Neora company too. When those studies are conducted and published, I will update this review as I become aware of them.
To be clear, there is research on EHT – which is the namesake ingredient in this supplement. The research on EHT will be summarized below.
Let's look at the research on the ingredients in the Neora EHT.
Neora EHT Ingredient Research
From the Ingredients list above, we can see that 1 tablet of Neora EHT contains:
- Vitamin D 2000IU
- Vitamin B6 1.6 mg
- Vitamin B12 10 mcg
- Magnesium 16 mg
- Selenium 70 mcg
While these are all fine nutrients for healthy people, I'm not convinced they contribute anything significant to helping memory, dementia or the immune system etc., beyond what we might get in the diet naturally or in a regular multivitamin.
Of course, those who are not so healthy might benefit from these nutrients, but for the most part, a multivitamin and vitamin D supplement will cover these bases. As such, I won't cover the vitamins or minerals in this review.
If Neora EHT really works, I think the answer lies with its other ingredients.
Let's look at those now.
Huperzine A
Each capsual of the EHT Brain Formula contains 35 mg of Huperzine. This is less than the 50 mg it origionaly contained. The scientific name for this herb is Huperzia Serrata. It is sometimes also called Chinese club moss or “Hup A.” Another name for Huperzine A is Selagine.
Several studies have revealed Huperzine A may be of benefit to people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. It might do this because Huperzine A appears to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine (say, “uh-see-tul-co-lean”) a chemical involved in memory. It does this by inhibiting an enzyme (called acetylcholinesterase) that is involved in the breakdown of acetylcholine.
In other words, by knocking out the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, the levels of acetylcholine in the brain rise and the chemical stays around longer. Theoretically, this might help boost memory.
Neora EHT appears to contain an amount of huperzine A (50 micrograms) that has been used in clinical trials. That is encouraging. Studies show that it may take 2-8 weeks before differences are noticed. This is a general rule, and I'm sure this would vary according to how bad the memory problems were, the medications people take, and other factors.
Do All Studies Say Huperzine Works?
No. Some research says huperzine may not work. This may be due to issues in purifying the Huperzine A compound and extracting it from the plant. Remember, plants contain thousands of different chemicals. Huperzine is only one of them.
Several of the studies appear to come from China. While they do appear to show Huperzine A may work, at least one study notes that because of problems with how some of the studies were conducted, caution and more research is needed.
Sometimes, Huperzine A is touted to improve memory in healthy people without memory problems. However, I can only find one study. For me, one study is not enough evidence – yet – to say healthy people need it.
Supplement makers think Huperzine A works because its been has been used in other memory supplements, such as:
See those reviews for more information.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha-lipoic acid may be in some diabetes and weight loss supplements. There does appear to be a connection between diabetes/insulin resistance and dementia. I've even seen Alzheimer's disease called “Type III diabetes” to drive this message home.
Thus, adding this alpha lipoic acid to a memory supplement does, in theory, make some sense. If we can reduce blood sugar levels, we might also reduce dementia.
But does alpha lipoic acid improve memory? More research is needed. One review of alpha lipoic acid dementia research found no good proof it helped people with memory issues.
One study has noted alpha lipoic helped memory, but this study seems to have problems with how it was conducted. Also, that study used 600 mg. Neora EHT only has 50 mg.
Alpha-lipoic acid is also in the memory supplement Procera AVH. See that review for more information.
Here's alpha-lipoic acid on Amazon
EHT
The EHT molecule is an ingredient in the Neora EHT supplement. The EHT molecule is derived from coffee and is a mixture of several different compounds. What does EHT stand for?
EHT stands for “Eicosanoyl-5-HydroxyTryptamide.”
Now, you know why they call it EHT.
It's stated that the researchers at Signum Biosciences noticed that people with severe memory decline had a disruption of a regulator protein called PP2A. The PP2A protein regulator is said to help keep the connections between brain cells “robust and healthy.”
Theoretically, anything that could help increase the PP2A, might let brain cells talk to each other better. This might help memory and other things that PP2A helps regulate.
This does sound interesting. So, is there any research on EHT? Yes, there is.
Let's look at that research next.
EHT Research
Previously, Sigmun Biosciences had an EHT supplement called ME Sports, which was marketed to athletes.
It was stated that that “ME™ sports has been shown to be beneficial in vivo models of cognition, memory and motor function.” The phrase “in vivo” basically means conducted in animals/not in a test tube. While that's good, it's not the same thing as human studies.
On the website of Signum Biosciences, several clinical studies are listed. I will link to the studies below so you can see them as you conduct your own research.
Neora EHT Research Summary
Instead of getting bogged down in explaining the research, I'll just list the study name and give a quick breakdown as to whether it involved people, lab animals or was test tube research (which I define as research not occurring in living animals).
By breaking the research down this way, you can get a better idea of how far along with the current research on EHT.
Here are the studies listed in support of the EHT compound.
| Study Title | Type of Study |
|---|---|
| EHT™ coffee extract: A neuroprotective agent and modulator of PP2A methylation with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties (S16.006) (2015) | Test tube study |
| Therapeutic benefits of a component of coffee in a rat model of Alzheimer disease. (2014) | Rat study |
| Neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties of a coffee component in the MPTP model of Parkinson's diseasedisease. (2013) | Mouse study |
| Enhanced phosphatase activity attenuates α-synucleinopathy in a mouse model. (2011) | Mouse study |
| The structural basis for tight control of PP2A methylation and function by LCMT-1 (2011) | Test tube study |
| Phosphoprotein phosphatase 2A: a novel druggable target for Alzheimer’s disease (2011) | Review paper of previous research |
| Protein carboxyl methylation and the biochemistry of memory. (2009) | Study involving isolated cells. |
| Mechanisms of tau-induced neurodegeneration. (2009) | Review paper of previous research |
| From promiscuity to precision: protein phosphatases get a makeover. (2009) | Test tube study |
| Protein carboxyl methylation and the biochemistry of memory. (2009) | Test tube study. |
| Structural mechanism of demethylation and inactivation of protein phosphatase 2A. (2008) | Test tube study |
| Tau hyperphosphorylation correlates with reduced methylation of protein phosphatase 2A.(2008) | Test tube study of mouse and human cells |
| Structure of a protein phosphatase 2A holoenzyme: insights into B55-mediated Tau dephosphorylation. (2008) | Test tube study |
| Protein Phosphatase 2A Methyltransferase Links Homocysteine Metabolism with Tau and Amyloid Precursor Protein Regulation (2007) | Mouse study |
| Downregulation of protein phosphatase 2A carboxyl methylation and methyltransferase may contribute to Alzheimer disease pathogenesis.(2004) | Test tube study |
| Altered expression levels of the protein phosphatase 2A ABalphaC enzyme are associated with Alzheimer disease pathology. (2004) | Test tube study. Appears similar to previous study. Same authors. |
| Protein phosphatase 2A methylation: a link between elevated plasma homocysteine and Alzheimer's Disease. (2002) | Test tube study. |
As can be seen from the table above, there is a need for human research.
What About The Princeton University Study?
Some may have also heard of a study at Princeton University. This investigation was an undergraduate senior thesis on EHT. The title of the thesis is “The Neuroprotective Effects of Eicosanoyl-5-hydroxytryptamide in an in vitro Model for Parkinson’s Disease.”
This is not a human study.
Essentially, human cells were treated with Signum EHT to see what happened. This investigation showed the EHT molecule has a cell-protective effect. While the investigator used human cells, isolated cells -even from humans – are not the same as testing EHT in humans.
Let me be clear: I listed studies like this not to slam the product or deprecate any company. Rather, the goal was to help you better understand this very complicated research. As this reporter becomes aware of more evidence, this section will be updated.
EHT vs. EHT 0202
EHT0202 is an Alzheimer's drug. It is not the same thing as EHT, the supplement.
The reasons for this are because:
- EHT is a product of Signum Biosciences located in New Jersey. The EHT 0202 drug was developed by a French company called Diaxonhit (formally called Exonhit).
- Performing online searches for “Signum Biosciences and Exonhit” (or Diaxonhit) does not reveal anything showing these compounds are the same.
Because of this, Brand Partners should not confuse research on EHT0202 with Neora EHT. Their names are very similar so it's easy to confuse them.
Does Neora EHT Brain Formula Have Caffeine?
I think the answer is yes and no. The EHT brain formula is decaffeinated, but I've also seen it said it has a small amount of caffeine. They say the amount of caffeine is less than is in a decaffeinated cup of coffee.
That's very little caffeine. I don't think most people would notice it. Some people have left comments below saying they had trouble sleeping. Whether or not this is related to caffeine, I can't say.
Neora and Dementia
Can the EHT brain supplement reduce risk of dementia or Alzheimer’s or improve memory if it were taken long-term? It's a tantalizing idea to be sure. There is just not enough evidence to say yes or no to this question.
For those who have dementia or are thinking about EHT for their family members who already have cognitive insufficiency problems, the best advice is to show the ingredients this supplement to their doctor.
Food for thought: Evidence suggests regular exercise can preserve brain health.
Does Neora EHT Help Concussions?
In the past, the Sigmun Biosciences website used to contain an EHT supplement called “Me Sports” where “Me” stands for “Mind Enhancement.” They used to say that Me Sports “provides the best protection for your brain.” References to Me Sports no longer appear on the Sigmun website. It has been replaced by Neora EHT and may be discontinued.
Does Neora EHT Brain Formula help with concussions? There is a lack of proof showing the supplement helps recovery from traumatic brain injuries or reduces their risk of concussions.
Neither Neora or the Sigmond Biosciences websites make any health claims that supplement helps traumatic brain injuries.
Can EHT Brain Formula Help Parkinson's
Can EHT help Parkinson's disease? For now, the proof is lacking.
There are references to Neora EHT being endorsed by the Michael J. Fox Foundation. But, according to the website Truth in Advertising, this is not true. While the Michael J. Fox Foundation does seek a cure for Parkinson's, it does not endorse any specific treatments.
The Michael J Fox Foundation has awarded grants to Signum Biosciences to investigate PP2A as it relates to Parkinson's.
Neora EHT Brain Formula and ADHD
Does EHT help people with attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder? It may or may not. There is not enough research on either of these conditions to provide a verdict either way. No research on either condition is known.
Neora EHT Brain Formula and Exercise
The company that invented the EHT molecule has a paper titled ” EHT® Age-Defying Supplement: Scientific Rationale for Boosting Workout and Post-Workout Recovery.” This paper (which can be found by doing an online search) is not a peer-reviewed clinical study. Rather, it discusses how the ingredients in EHT might reduce inflammation that occurs after intense exercise and improve recovery.
No doubt, there is human research on the vitamins/ minerals in the product. The EHT molecule also might hold promise in theory.
But, whether or not Neora EHT Brain Formula would benefit people who do CrossFit, Zumba, Tabata or any other exercise program is speculation until the research is published.
Is Neora EHT Brain Formula FDA Approved?
The FDA doesn't technically “approve” supplements. This is part of the US law that regulates supplements, called DSHEA, which is short for the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act. In the US, supplement companies do not have to tell the FDA that they are making a new supplement or get FDA approval before a supplement is marketed to the public.
Who Makes Neora EHT Brain Formula?
There are two different companies involved with this dietary supplement:
- Neora
- Signum Biosciences
Let's look briefly look at each company separately.
The Neora Company
According to the company website (Neora.com / formally Neurium), the company is a “relationship marketing company.” That means they offer a variety of products that are sold via distributors, called “Brand Partners.” In other words, Neora is a multi-level marketing company. There is nothing wrong with that. It's how they do business.
The address on file with the Better Business Bureau is 4201 Spring Valley Road, Farmers Branch, Texas 75244-3631. This is less than 3 miles from their previous home, 4006 Belt Line Road Addison, TX 75001.
While the company was not accredited by the Better Business Bureau; it did have an A+ rating when the BBB website was checked.
Signum Biosciences
Signum Biosciences is the biopharmaceutical company that discovered the EHT molecule. They are a privately held biotechnology company founded in 2002. This company is located at 11 Deerpark Dr Monmouth Jct, NJ 08852. The former company address was 133 Wall Street, Princeton, NJ 08540.
Their contact phone number is 732.329.6344. While not an accredited company, the BBB gives Signum an A+ rating.
Contact Neora
The company can be reached at these phone numbers:
- USA: 855-463-7486
- Canada: 888-304-6046
Where Can You Buy Neora EHT Brain Formula
The supplement is not sold in stores like Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Costco, RiteAid, Sames Club, Kroger or Food Lion. To purchase any Neora supplement, most people go through a Neora Brand Ambassador. Another option is to purchase directly from Nora.com.
How Much Does EHT Brain Formula Cost?
When I checked the company website, for a 1 month's supply (non-returning customer), the cost varried between$65 and $85 per month, depending on where you purchased it from and if you opted for autoshipments.
Yearly Cost
If buying directly from the Neora website or an annual cost of the Brain Formula is:
Monthly delievery: $65/month: $780
One-time purchase: $80/month: $960
How To Take Neora EHT Brain Formula
The company website says to take 1 tablet per day with food in the morning, preferably with some food that has healthy fats. This is likely to increase absorption. A box contains 30 tablets, which is a month's supply.
Neora EHT Brain Formula Side Effects
I believe the EHT Brain Formula supplement is safe for healthy people. I’m not aware of any side effects from the product at the time this review was created. There is also a lack of human research on this product as well. That said, here are a few things worth mentioning. Speak to your doctor if you think any of this applies to you. This list is not complete:
- Start with less than suggested for the first week to see how you respond.
- Stop taking the supplement at least 2 weeks before surgery.
- Speak to your doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- If you take ANY medications, speak to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- Huperzine A might slow down the heart rate. This may be a problem for people taking some medications, such as those for heart disease and/or high blood pressure.
- If the product contains a little bit of caffeine, this might interfere with sleep if taken close to bedtime especially in those very sensitive to caffeine. Some people, in the comments below, stated they had trouble sleeping after starting the supplement.
Neora EHT Brain Formula Pro and Con
Here is a quick rundown of what I liked and didn't like about this supplement. These are my opinions. Take them for what they are.
Does Neora EHT Work?
While preliminary research hints the EHT molecule, might have benefits, I think it's too soon to tell. This supplement has been out for a few years now, and the company has not published clinical studies to back up its claims. While the ingredients in Neora Brain Health Formula appear to make sense on paper, they need to be tested in people with clinical results published in medical journals. So, is it a scam? Many people say it's not. Many have said it's the real deal. Stay tuned for more research.
Here it is on Amazon
Any Questions or Comments?
Thanks SherryB. I did research Perlmutter early on: http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2015/06/problem-with-the-grain-brain-doctor.html
I have been taking EHT for about a year. I have had diarrhea for the last 2 months – not sure if EHT is the reason or not. Have you heard of others getting diarrhea? grabbing at straws!! thank you. Terry
Hi Terry, I dont believe I’ve heard of diarrhea with EHT. You can always try stopping it to see if that helps. Diarrhea for 2 months sounds serious – and painful. Have you went to your doctor?
Testimonies are not scientific method and are highly susceptible to confirmation bias. Mouse studies are indeed highly unreliable. The basic science shows early merit, but without strong human clinical trials it is not a proven entity. The company must be careful as they seem to be making claims that exceed the evidence thus far. Individual marketers and the company itself can get in a lot of trouble. If EHT is as ‘miraculous’ as it is being claimed, than Signum Biosciences should be putting together a human clinical trial asap. Why wouldn’t they?
I have been a medical scientist and researcher for many years and that is my opinion.

Dr. Durham, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I know everyone here appreciates you stopping by.
Dr. Durham, here is a link that has all the information on research and white papers. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6PWFq94qRpGZmU3dVBOVzhYdVk/view?pli=1
Also EHT® is commercialized as a dietary supplement, it is not a drug and it does not treat, prevent, or diagnose any diseases. Due to this reality, claims based on the ability to demonstrate the efficacy of EHT® are greatly limited. A clinical study requires end points that you aim to assess and as such dietary supplements cannot be tested in diseased subjects.
My husband has Parkinson’s. That’s my interest in these drugs and supplements. I don’t make money off selling them. As to the Alzheimer’s studies, and although I’m not familiar enough to comment, a quick search turned up this on the top drug recommended by the National INstitute on Aging: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12137632.
But the Linus Pauling Institute is an excellent resource on tests involving vitamins, micronutrients etc. A friend who has worked for 40 years with the Federal Trade Commission, which regulates claims by pharmaceutical companies, supplement companies etc., says that studies in mice are highly unreliable.
Of course, if there’s no harm, why not take whatever sounds promising? With incurable diseases, like Parkinson’s, there’s an emotional component, and you want to try anything that might work. There are many companies with claims like Nerium’s about EHT, and too often they prey on fear rather than rely on good evidence.
Hi Robin.
Please check out the book “Grain Brain” and “Brain Maker” by Dr. David Perlmutter. He’s a neurologist who is helping patients with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other autoimmune illnesses with great success. I hope this helps!
Hi Robin!
Why does it matter if Karen is a distributor or not??
I think maybe you assume we love the products simply because we ‘sell’ them? When actually it’s the other way around….?
Since you are such an advocate for Human studies I was hoping you could provide human brain studies for the current top 3 Alzheimer Pharmaceuticals??
I looked and looked the other day for a few hours and they were ALL Rat studies as well? And yet they are approved for Human consumption?! ?
Thanks in advance for those studies!!
Namaste
Tenille, I also appreciate it when ambassadors identify themselves. It lets us know where they are coming from.
You know Tenille, I just attended a Nerium presentation. I found it interesting and thought I’d do some research, which is how I came across this site. Your sarcastic reply to Robin was disheartening. I hope that isn’t representative of the company. Closing with namaste doesn’t make it any kinder and, considering the tone of your comment, actually adds to the sarcasm.
Karen, don’t you think you should reveal that you are a Nerium “brand partner” or whatever your current status is with the company? Last I saw, there were no human trials with EHT, nor have I ever seen any evidence about autism. Anecdotal evidence is not evidence at all. Preying on peoples’ desperation and fear is a sales technique, complete with money back guarantee.
Hi Robin.
Please check out the boom “Grain Brain” and “Brain Maker” by Dr. David Perlmutter. He’s a neurologist who is helping patients with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other autoimmune illnesses with great success. I hope this helps!
I am in no way affiliated with this doctot. I just like what he’s doing!
Hi Joe, Thanks for the frank discussion on neurodegenerative diseases, brain health and EHT. If I could I would send you the exhaustive links on EHT Published White Papers. I will provide them for you if you email me. I have friends with MS using EHT that have experienced zero system flare ups since using the supplement while still using their MS prescription; friends with ADHD off controlled substances and doing great using EHT; Crazy testimonies of children with Autism operating in enhanced mental intelligence since using EHT. The brain can heal itself with the right fuel. EHT has a 30 day money back guarantee. What other supplement company gives your $ back?
Hi Karen, I just emailed you for the white paper link. if any of the white papers are published in medical journals, I will update my review to include them.
That’s great!
Have there been any comments or studies about a connection between EHT and stroke? My son had a major stroke in January. Wife sells Nerium, says she had him on EHT. I don’t discuss the issues with Nerium with them. Have been burned and know the structure of MLM’s.
joangie, so sorry to hear about your son! I’m not aware of any connection to stroke risk. The human body is very complicated. I’m often amazed why stuff doesn’t go wrong more than it does. One thing you might try doing is show the ingredients to a pharmacist and see if they have any insights. They sometimes know about supplement side effects. If you find anything out, do let us know. I will say a prayer tonight for your son and you. Im sure this is a very difficult time for all of you.
I got your other comment too, so no worries.
Yes…I was taking with food, actually my breakfast smoothie.
I have been on EHT since November and LOVE it. I no longer take Zoloft or my ADD meds 3 times a day. I also sleep all night now, which is huge!! Not to mention my memory is so much better as well. I will definitely continue using this product and be more than happy to share how it has helped me.
Aleda
Aleda,
How has EHT helped you? Does your doctor approve of your discontinuing Zoloft & ADD prescription in favor of EHT? And, from whom did you hear about EHT?
Exactly right, Joe about research into EHT. Nerium’s claims go too far, and in this complicated world of drug development it’s too easy to fool people. Yes, an inspiring video! My husband is doing extremely well. One of the lucky ones so far!
Robin, I’m really glad your husband is doing well. I’ve seen what PD can be like.
I see Nerium has release EHT now in Canada. There is no huperzine A or other ingredients which makes me wonder if Health Canada wouldn’t allow it. Also, there is a lot of ginkgo Biloba in the Canadian version. nerium-eht.ca is where I found it.
Ron, thanks for the heads up on that.
No one has actually said the words “EHT would help PD”…. Because as you should know, a natural supplement is legally not allowed to make such claims.
However, based on the science so far (including the rat studies that you discredit) there is enough evidence that in theory it should.
So now they go the red-tape-BIG-pharma-route. To please the proper authorities (yourself included).
But as I mentioned before, PP2A is responsible for many gene expressions and functions in the brain.
I am just grateful I understand the science and don’t have to wait for all the red tape that is controlled by the Big arms/reach of Big Pharma before I get to benefit from it.
And also HELP others to benefit from it.
But if you would like to wait with the Masses of skeptics to be TOLD it works by some authority… Then that is your Freedom to do so.
Here’s some of that science’y stuff explaining WHY it is gaining credibility!!
http://www.nature.com/scibx/journal/v4/n21/full/scibx.2011.590.html
Tenille, I wouldn’t exactly call myself one of the “proper authorities.” I just like to see human proof.
According to the nature piece you liked to, the grant lasts a year. Let’s see what happens.
Robin. I am sorry to hear about your husband.
I feel that maybe reading a Blog by a NON scientist is really not doing your due diligence.
As it turns out the Micheal J Fox foundation has found the science behind Nerium EHT worth getting behind.
I hope you will continue your research!!
Namaste
http://www.nature.com/scibx/journal/v4/n21/full/scibx.2011.590.html
http://www.nature.com/scibx/journal/v4/n21/full/scibx.2011.590.html
I am sorry to hear you think this is a scam?
I feel you may deprive yourself and your husband of something truly breakthrough??
It would seem that the Micheal J Fox foundation would disagree with you completely.
Namaste
Tenille, thanks for that link. I’m grateful that they are getting funding to look in to this further. I noticed that the linked article said “The Signum-led group now will use a $295,000 grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to develop the compound—and others acting via the same mechanism—to treat PD.”
That’s not the same thing as saying Neurium EHT helps Parkinson’s, only that they will be looking to “develop the compound” to help Parkinsons. Either way, I do wish them success.
Thank you for taking the time to review the studies. As a friend with 40+ years at the Federal Trade Commission (which regulates product claims) has said to me: “animal studies mean nothing for humans.” My husband has Parkinson’s and we have been to a top specialist. At this time, there is no supplement proven to help the complicated brain deterioration of PD. However, much hope comes from HUMAN studies of ‘skill based exercise’, where you learn through movement (i.e. dance, tai-chi, boxing, new sport etc.).
I fear that companies like Nerium, profit and pyramid-based, play on people’s fears and hopes with claims that have the veneer of truth, but not the substance. That’s why your site is so useful. Keep it up!
Hi Robin, so sorry to hear about your husband. It’s so interesting what you said about skill based exercise. I just saw that amazing video of a man with Parkinson’s riding a bike!
Robin, Hi my Name is Robert I am a Proud Brand Partner with Nerium International. I am also a proud United States disabled vet from DS/DS I severed in the Army from ’88 to ’92, my disability is from being treated like a mouse or rat from all of the drugs the Military made us take in one form or another.
you see The U.S. Army finally admitted and apologized, but the VA doesn’t recognize the Army’s admission. but when I found out about EHT I had hope! hope that maybe I should try it hell what did I have to lose, you see I have PTSD, depression, fibromyalgia, IBS, blurred vision, my eyes always in pain, severe headaches, numbness in my feet and legs and so much more . I was already on 15 different meds that didn’t do much I couldn’t remember my kids names I always lost my keys, always in the brain fog!, felt like shit and could never focus on one thing at a time!
So I said WHAT DO I HAVE TO LOSE? They even have a money back guarantee Well I have been on EHT now for almost 1 year! and I cannot see myself not on it, it has helped me out Tremendously! and I am getting better every day! So I guess I was your Human studies. You mentioned something about making a profit, what Pharmaceutical companies don’t make a profit on all of the crap they make, and a pyramid scheme that’s funny the biggest pyramid scheme is our U.S Government.
I used EHT for one week. I had severe gas. I had terrible rumbling and growling sounds coming from my stomach that could be heard across the room. I experienced terrible discomfort. I couldn’t figure out why it was happening. I then recognized I had started EHT and I immediately stopped using it. The very next day the digestive issues were gone.
This product obviously did not agree with my system for whatever reason. I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced any of this.
I just got this and tried it for 6 days. OMG, I feel like my joints are on fire! I can barely walk or step up. I had rumbling in my stomach, but, I might have been hungry. I stopped taking this. It does not like me ; (
Did you both take the supplement with food? It’s recommended not to take it on an empty stomach.
Yes that’s true Brooke and as a matter of fact EHT should be taken with a healthy fat for best absorption.
Just received the Nerium EHT Brain Supplement from my mother through my sister who sells Nerium products…they want me to try it to see if it helps with my cognitive fog. I have MS. As soon as I get the OK from my DR I’m going to try it.
Thank you for this review. My biggest concern is how it will interact with other RX and supplements I take…any news about that (interactions)?
Hi Misha, I think you are doing the right thing. Im not sure what the interactions might be. I’d also ask your pharmacist too. Show the ingredients to your pharmacist. they can be a good source of drug interaction information. I hope Nrium EHT helps you and I hope you will let me know what happens if you get the OK to try it.
Hi Misha, I also have MS and a friend suggested Nerium EHT. I started taking the samples she provided a few days ago. I am very curious if it can help my damaged nerve pathways. I have difficulty walking due to spacticity and it is getting increasingly difficult with every day.
I do my part stretching, working out, etc. but I figured I’d give Nerium EHT a try. I am also waiting on a call back from my neorologist. Please post if you hear back from your dr.
Thanks, Joe!! I appreciate the well wishes!! Have a wonderful and blessed day!! =)
Thanks for the review, Joe!! It was really interesting, especially the part about the Huperzine A!! I checked out all the links….very cool stuff!!
I’ve had Late Stage Lyme Disease for 26 years, which has attacked my Neurological System. I went to visit one of my best friends for Christmas & New Years, and I got very sick while there….even ended up in the hospital. My poor friend had never seen me this sick before and didn’t know what to do for me, I was having seizures and narcoleptic attacks and couldn’t get out of bed for 3 weeks.
She was so concerned that she called a friend of hers who was into natural medicine and she told her about Nerium EHT. She ordered it and started giving it to me, along with green & protein shakes. I started to feel much better and 2 weeks later, was able to drive home and am recovering nicely after another 2 weeks!!
I went and ordered some to continue with my healing. I am thinking clearly, my mind is focused and I have more energy….not jittery at all, I’m not a coffee drinker, and would not like that feeling!! My Narcolepsy is under control and haven’t had a seizure since!!
I also suffer from severe tinnitus, which tends to keep me up at night, and it has improved substantially!! I have a really hard time waking up in morning, even after an 8 or 9 hour sleep, so I now set my alarm 1 hour before I want to get up…..take my EHT….lay back down and by the time I’m ready to get up….it’s a lot easier!!
When she saw what it did for me, my friend ordered some for her 84 year old Mom and herself. The 3 of us are feeling better than we have in years. She has Fibro and Anxiety issues and her Mom is in the early stages of dementia and has sundowners (which causes mood swings in the elderly).
We are all believers now…..I wish this had been around 10 years ago when my Dad had severe dementia before his passing….I think this would have helped him greatly!! Just wanted to share my feelings about this wonderful product.
Like the woman above, I don’t sell it, I just know that it helped me heal at a time when nothing else seemed to work!! Thanks again, Joe, and have a wonderful and blessed night!! I’ll be reading more of your reviews from now on!! =)
Susan, thanks for sharing and I am SO sorry you had to spend your Christmas in such a bad way. I am really glad you are feeling better today. While Ive never seen anything on Lymes and EHT, I’ll just be glad you are better now and continue to keep the lymes subdued so you can continue to live a quality life. I do hope it helps your mom too.
I had a skin reaction after taking EHT for 5 days. First was bright red itchy splotches which became angry and then developed a large blister as it became to gradually disappear.
Mona, was Nerium EHT the only thing you were taking at the time?
