These are the questions we are asked most, answered in one place.
What is in it?
A 231 mg proprietary blend, in order of weight: gotu kola (whole herb), astragalus extract (root), bacopa monnieri (whole herb), cistanche extract (stem), maritime pine bark extract standardised to 65% proanthocyanidins, and Panax ginseng (root). Other ingredients: gelatin capsule, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, MCT oil and silicon dioxide. Per ingredient amounts are not listed because it is a proprietary blend.
Who is it for?
Women of roughly 40 to 55 who notice changes in memory, word finding and focus during the perimenopause years and want a non hormonal daily option alongside sleep, exercise and their doctor's advice.
Does it contain hormones?
No. It contains no estrogen, progesterone or other hormones, and it is not a hormone therapy.
How do I take it?
One capsule a day, with water, ideally in the morning because Panax ginseng can be mildly stimulating. Taking it with food can help if you have a sensitive stomach.
How long until I notice anything?
Botanicals work slowly. Judge it over eight to twelve weeks of daily use. Weeks one and two are often flat; weeks three to six are when some women first notice a change; weeks eight to twelve are the window to compare against where you started.
How do I know if it is working?
Use the 90 Day Word Log. Score five everyday moments on day one, then once a week. It is free whether or not you buy.
Is it vegan or vegetarian?
No. The capsule shell is gelatin.
Where is it made?
In the USA. The manufacturer provides a Certificate of Analysis for it.
Who should not take it, or should ask first?
Do not take it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ask your doctor first if you take hormone therapy, an antidepressant, ADHD medication, blood pressure medication, blood thinners or diabetes medication, or if you have a liver condition or a planned surgery. Stop and see a doctor if you have any unusual reaction.
Can I take it with HRT?
Ask your doctor. Clear Cognition does not contain hormones, but your doctor should know about every supplement you take.
What is the guarantee?
Sixty days from delivery on your first order. Take it daily for at least a month. If you finish the bottle and nothing changed, email us and your first order is refunded in full. Nothing needs to be sent back.
Is it proven to work?
No trial has tested these six botanicals together. Some of the individual herbs, such as bacopa, have been studied on their own, with mixed results, and all six have a long history of traditional use. That is why we ask you to measure it with the Word Log and back it with a guarantee.
