Low-dose, unstandardized Ginkgo in an expensive, vague proprietary blend.
NuBest NuBrain positions itself for cognitive benefits, but its Ginkgo biloba leaf extract content is only 50mg, which is below the generally recommended therapeutic daily dosage range of 120-240mg for standardized extracts. Crucially, the Ginkgo itself lacks any standardization details for flavone glycosides or terpene lactones, leaving its potency unknown. The bulk of the product is comprised of vague 'NuBest Fuel Blend' and 'NuBest Focus Blend' proprietary mixes, preventing consumers and nutritionists from knowing the precise amounts of other ingredients that might contribute to its effects. This lack of transparency, coupled with a high price per serving ($0.65), makes NuBrain a questionable choice for targeted brain, cognitive, and cardiovascular support compared to more transparent and scientifically backed Ginkgo supplements.
- Combines Ginkgo with other ingredients potentially beneficial for cognitive function
- Low Ginkgo dosage (50mg) and no standardization details
- Primary active ingredients hidden within proprietary blends
- High price per serving for uncertain efficacy and ingredient transparency
- May not deliver adequate levels of Ginkgo for its stated goals
- Proprietary blends make it difficult to determine effective dosages of individual ingredients, including Ginkgo.
- Consider other options if seeking a clearly dosed and standardized Ginkgo product.

Categories
Ginkgo 25.0
Its Ginkgo component is insufficient in both dosage and transparency of standardization, placing it far below ideal Ginkgo supplements in this collection.
Goals
Brain Health 30.0
The low dose of unstandardized Ginkgo and the presence of proprietary blends make it difficult to confidently assess its specific contribution to overall brain health.
Cognitive Support 30.0
With an unstandardized, low-dose Ginkgo hidden in blends, its impact on cognitive support is likely to be inconsistent and may not reach clinically significant levels.
Cardiovascular Support 30.0
The unstandardized and low quantity of Ginkgo means its effectiveness for cardiovascular support is highly uncertain within this complex and expensive formulation.
