Think Clear is advertised as the most advanced cognitive support formula available on the market. Its manufacturer, Pro-Health, is a company founded in 1988 which manufactures treatments and formulas targeting a large number of health issues ranging from memory and brain supplements to kidney health or cholesterol products.

According to the manufacturer, the formula is a four ingredients mixture of Ginkgo Biloba, Huperzine A, DHA, and Vinpocetine which synergistically work together to enhance circulation and oxygen flow to the brain, therefore promoting optimal cell health and supporting information transmission from cell to cell.

These four core ingredients have been extensively researched and proven, to different extents, to positively impact memory and cognitive functions.

Although the manufacturer does not mention who the product is supposed to help specifically, it does issue a restraint for patients under blood thinners or who have a history of heart attacks/strokes, as well as for people under the age of eighteen, pregnant or lactating women.

Facts

1) Think Clear Quick Facts

Think Clear is a mixture herbal ingredients and DHA, an Omega-3 fatty acid. The herbal ingredients are highly popular ingredients with potent memory and brain enhancing properties.

Huperzine A is a substance purified from a plant called Chinese club moss and is the result of a lot of laboratory manipulation. The substance is commonly used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, and for memory and learning enhancement, as well as to counteract the effects of age-related memory impairment. Huperzine A works by increasing levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for the functioning of the Central Nervous System.

Ginkgo Biloba acts as an antioxidant and is commonly used for its ability to enhance circulation throughout the body and brain, thus making oxygen available to the brain and other organs.

Vinpocetine is an extract of the Periwinkle plant. It is believed that it has the ability to enhance blood circulation in the brain; therefore it is commonly used in products aimed at treating conditions that affect learning, memory and information processing skills caused by aging.

The manufacturer issues a warning for people on blood thinning medication, people under the age of 18, pregnant and nursing women, otherwise, it does not mention any potential side effects. Individual ingredients, however, have been linked to side effects.

Ingredients

2) Details on Think Clear Ingredients and Uses

Think Clear includes the following ingredients: DHA Powder (from algae oil), Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract (standardized at 24% ginkgoflavonglycosides and 6% terpene lactones), Vinpocetine (Vinca minor) and Huperzine A (Huperzia serrata), Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, rice flour, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide and water.

3) Does Think Clear Work and it is Safe?

Advertised as a natural supplement recommended for people who desire to enhance their mind functions, Think Clear represents an alternative to medication. It is composed of four ingredients with individual known properties. One of these compounds is DHA, which is short for Docosahexaenoic acid. It represents an Omega-3 fatty acid and is important for the membranes of cells in the brain. The effect of DHA on children is an enhancement of cognitive functions and neuronal development. However, when it comes to elders, it decreases improvement of diseases which are neurodegenerative. Deficiency of DHA may lead to deterioration of neuronal cells that may lead to mental disorders.

Thus, it is mandatory to maintain an appropriate level of DHA in the human body. Side effects of DHA usage, especially if the standard dosage has been exceeded, are rashes, swellings, difficulty breathing and swallowing and signs of internal bleeding.

Another reliable component is Ginkgo Biloba. Traditionally, Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract has been used in the treatment of vascular system disorders and to enhance memory. Due to the ginkgo leaves blood thinning properties, the oxygen being delivered to the brain increases quantitative, thus increasing memory, preventing headaches and other poorly functioning brain functions caused by low oxygen levels in the brain.

Several studies found that Ginkgo Biloba might have a positive effect on Alzheimer’s disease due to its capacity to delay the symptoms of dementia. However, other studies found that ginkgo has little to no effect in regarding this matter which makes the given results mostly inconclusive. Ginkgo Biloba is still being researched to prove or disprove its effects.
