Lumonol Smart Drink is a powdered drink mix and dietary supplement for mental support. It’s sold by Avanse Nutraceuticals, and meant to be an alternative to their Lumonol capsule product. Avanse has become fairly popular in a short amount of time, even though they don’t offer much information about themselves. This convenient drink mix can be used by almost anyone, according to the company. Especially people with a hard time focusing on work, those who experience memory issues, and anyone suffering from stress or occasional nervousness. People looking to enhance their motivation and energy levels may also get some use out of Smart Drink.

Synopsis

1) Lumonol Smart Drink at a Glance

One scoop contains three nootropic blends, each with a different purpose: focus, energy, and memory support. Scoops also contain a massive amount of vitamin B-12, 250 mcg, which is far above the recommended daily intake of 2 to 6 mcg. The focus blend uses L-Tyrosine, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, and Phosphatidylserine. L-Tyrosine is an amino acid used in various nootropic products, and can be found in a lot of our foods. People take it to help relieve symptoms of depression and ADHD, improve alertness, reduce stress, and more. It’s has a wide variety of brain-boosting effects, and is great for penetrating the blood-brain barrier.

What’s Inside?

2) What’s Inside Lumonol Smart Drink?

Lumonol Smart Drink contains the following ingredients: Vitamin B12 (250 mcg), Focus Blend (L-Tyrosine, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Phosphatidylserine) (500 mg), Energy Blend (Guarana Seed Extract, Asian Ginseng Root Powder, Hordenine HCI) (430 mg), Memory Blend (Alpha GPC, Ginkgo Leaf Powder) (170 mg).

While Lumonol can stimulate without a stimulant, nothing beats an actual stimulatory effect. If you also think the same and want to have a quick energy boost with your nootropics, we think Addrenna Focus Pep is a must-try.

3) Does Lumonol Smart Drink Work?

Each serving of this product has 8 nootropic ingredients and vitamin B12. The ingredients include Alpha GPC, Guarana seed extract, Ginseng root powder, and Ginkgo leaf powder. The label doesn’t list the exact amount of Alpha GPC, only that it’s combined with Ginkgo, and the resulting blend is 170 mg per scoop. Alpha GPC (usually known as L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine or choline alfoscerate) is an essential nutrient found in some foods and our own brains.

It’s used to promote healthy cognitive function and increase athletic performance, although studies on its benefits aren’t always 100 percent conclusive. It might also support cellular membranes, and aid in preventing mental decline. Studies show that Alpha GPC has a notable effect on cognitive decline and symptoms of Alzheimer’s. It can increase power output and growth hormone among athletes as well; a pilot study found Alpha GPC increasing power by 14 percent, which would be more effective than a typical daily dose of caffeine. It’s thought to increase levels of acetylcholine in the brain. The standard dose is 300 to 600 mg, although some people want as much as 1200 mg. Lumonol’s dose falls well below the standard amount of Alpha GPC, but this could be better for people new to nootropics.

4) Lumonol Smart Drink Benefits & Results

  • Natural color (from beet root powder) and berry flavor. No preservatives or obvious filler ingredients. Sweetened with sucralose, which can be an advantage or disadvantage.
  • Good ingredients and they seem to have the correct optimal amounts.
  • Convenient powder form which dissolves in juice or water with relative ease.
Precautions

5) Precautions of Lumonol Smart Drink Use

  • Very expensive, although some people say it’s worth the price tag.
  • Ingredients don’t have their individual amounts listed. You have to look at each blend and then guess how much is used.
Price

6) Lumonol Smart Drink Price

Each container lasts for a month if you go by the product label. One 4.5 g scoop a day from a 135 g container means you get 30 scoops. It’s pretty expensive for a monthly supplement, and slightly above average for a powder. You can get coupons and discounts on various plans, including subscriptions, so you’ll never pay full retail price. Buying a three pack of Smart Drink gives you a large 50 percent discount. Sometimes shipping is free, but it doesn’t seem to be guaranteed. Avanse does offer international shipping at a reasonable flat rate price.

Directions

7) Lumonol Smart Drink Directions

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (also known as ALCAR) is another amino acid. It’s involved with energy, metabolism, and the mitochondria in general. It’s found in the human body and some foods. It works well with certain antioxidants, choline, and caffeine. ALCAR can help increase your energy levels, and people sometimes take advantage of this benefit for weight loss (combined with proper diet and regular exercise). It has a stimulant effect but isn’t a stimulant and doesn’t have any of their potential adverse effects. There are other forms of L-Carnitine, but this one is primary for cognitive enhancement and energy increases. ALCAR might also protect against muscle damage and reduce fatigue.

Does it Work

8) Bottom Line – Does It Really Work?

                    Lumonol Smart Drink is a product which appears to produce results. The largest downside is that the effects aren't always immediate, and you may have to take it for a week or two before seeing your results. Many people speak positively of the supplement, and the company behind it. Lumonol sells well and it definitely has a fanbase. If the high price doesn't scare you away, this is likely a cognitive enhancer which you will enjoy. And if you're not sure, you still have peace of mind, because the company offers a solid 90 day money back guarantee.
