My Review: Mind Lab Pro (Ingredients, Side Effects & Price) – Scam Or Does It Work?

It's time to review Mind Lab Pro – which is one of the best cognitive supplements out there:

• based on some excellent ingredients
• potent ingredients with studies behind
• many satisfied users

However, it all comes with a price.

And Mind Lab Pro is far from a cheap supplement.

So does it really work in reality? Are there any major side effects it causes?

Well, at this point – it's probably the very best nootropic supplement I know.

But let me give you all the reasons why in the following lines.

Note: This review is based on my opinion + research on Mind Lab Pro.

Review Summary

Full Name: Mind Lab Pro from Opti-Nutra

Product Type: Cognitive Supplement & Nootropics

Best Actual Price: $65/bottle

Cheapest Place To Buy: Its official website

Designed For: Boosting cognition and improving mental performance.

It helps the nervous system in several ways: 

• increases mental performance
• promotes brain health
• adds cognitive support

But compared to other nootropics, it actually follows these promises in real life.

My Rating: 9.50 out of 10 – My top rated nootropic

Recommended?: Definitely, it's probably the best product for cognition:

• works much better than most nootropic supplements
• effective for several issues
• really well-tolerated

It may be a bit pricey, at first sight.

But most cognitive products cost about the same (and do nothing) – so Mind Lab Pro is a lot more worth it.

What I Liked About It

• Excellent formula based on 11 different ingredients
• Some of its compounds are trademark versions
• Great results for cognition, memory and focus
• Effective for several issues
• One of the most professional products
• Many authentic reviews
• Lots of satisfied users behind
• Made by a very reputable producer
• Affordable for its quality (compared to other products)

What I Didn't Like About It

• You need about 4 pills/day (for best results)
• A few complaints about its side effects

#1 – How It Works & Producer

First of all – I want to give you some general info on this supplement:

• what it's meant for
• how it works
• who is the producer behind it

1. Claims

Mind Lab Pro's official website claims it's a “universal nootropic”:

1. Functions as a whole-brain optimizer.
2. Helps everyone perform better mentally.
3. Improves cognition in all aspects.

Basically – its claims are very sophisticated.

But judging from its evidence and studies, they are completely true.

It's also one of the most complex supplements for general cognitive performance.

2. Producer

This supplement is made by a brand called Opti-Nutra.

According to this brand's description:

• it's focused on supplements with superior performance
• its products are generally expensive
• all are made under strict procedures

In other words – this brand's products are very high-quality.

This may be the reason why they are so expensive. 

But other than that, this company is really trustworthy from this point of view.

#2 – Formula (10 out of 10)

Mind Lab Pro's composition is probably the very best one I came across:

• contains 11 different ingredients
• its compounds have many studies behind
• has a unique combination

Also – this product looks great in terms of doses.

Now, let's take a closer look at its main ingredients.

1. Citicoline (Cognizin®) (250 mg)

Citicoline is one of the best substances when it comes to cognitive performance:

• boosts memory and decreases stress
• supports cognitive function
• maintains healthy brain function

Also – Mind Lab Pro contains a trademark version of Citicoline. [1]

That's what makes it effect even more potent and powerful.

2. Bacopa Monnieri (150 mg)

This herb is an essential ingredient in a brain supplement:

• reduces stress and depression
• boosts cognitive power [2]
• fights depression

Also – this herb is formulated as an extract in this supplement (meaning it's more concentrated).

3. Lion's Mane Mushroom (500 mg)

That's mostly an ingredient meant for the long-term (in terms of effect):

• prevents cognitive dysfunction [3]
• increases nerve growth factor 

4. Phosphatidylserine (100 mg)

This is actually a cell protein that is very common in cognitive supplements:

• decreases stress
• boosts working memory and attention

Normally – this substance's level decreases with age.

So its dose from Mind Lab Pro is high enough.

5. N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine (175 mg)

Tyrosine is mostly effective against stress – so it's not a cognitive booster.

However, it can help on the long term.

6. L-Theanine (Suntheanine®) (100 mg)

This substance is best for sharpening focus and attention.

It also helps when it comes to stress and anxiety. [4]

7. Rhodiola Rosea (50 mg)

That's a very common herb in cognitive supplements:

• strengthens mental performance
• improves clear thinking

The dose isn't the best, but it's enough for the beginning.

8. Maritime Pine Bark Extract (75 mg)

This herb has some great antioxidant proprieties.

But other than that – it also boosts cerebral circulation and improves memory.

9. Vitamin B6, B9 and B12

These vitamins add more of an extra effect:

• promote brain blood flow
• reduce cognitive and brain decline

Conclusion

As I said – Mind Lab Pro's formula is excellent.

In fact, it's probably the best one I know at this point (in terms of brain supplements).

So it's a product I would totally recommend.

#3 – Pills & Dosage (9 out of 10)

Here's what you should know on this product.

1. The Pills

Mind Lab Pro's pills are designed as “plantcaps”.

These are some original capsules with a transparent gelatin cover and brownish powder inside.

In terms of swallowing them – things look pretty good with this kind of capsules.

Since they have a gelatin cover, they're quite easy to swallow.

2. The Dosage

This supplement looks pretty good at this chapter:

• standard serving size is 2 pills/day
• maximum serving size is 4 pills/day

Basically – it's recommended to take between 2 and 4 pills every day.

I personally advise you to start with 2 and increase the dose if necessary.

Just keep in mind that one bottle is meant to last for 30 days if you take 2 pills/day.

If you increase this dose – it's only going to last for 15 days.

So in this case, you will have to buy 2 bottles monthly (which is less convenient).

#4 – Results (8 out of 10)

In order to give you an unbiased view on this product, I tried to analyze its customer reviews.

In this way – you could see whether it works for real or not.

Note: I only considered authentic reviews, not promotional ones.

1. Positive Opinions

Basically – I analyzed Mind Lab Pro's reviews from Amazon (since they are 100% legit).

This supplement has an average rating of 4 stars out of 5 there.

Now – on the positive side, here's what most praises are about:

1. Some says it helps with memory pretty well.
2. Others claim their energy increased after 10 days.
3. A few others say it's great for focus and concentration.

Also, there are lots of mixed reviews – but many users are satisfied in terms of effect.

Honestly, I cannot guarantee the opinions from Amazon are legit.

That's simply because I don't know if the product is in its original version.

But chances are it is, if you ask me.

So you can see its high quality from its users' experiences with it.

2. Negative Opinions

As I said – there are some users that complain about this product.

And most of its negative reviews are related to:

1. High price
2. Potential side effects
3. Not the best results

In other words – Mind Lab Pro has some unsatisfied users as well.

And judging after its complaints, they are pretty normal.

The price is indeed high – but most nootropics cost about the same.

As for its results, memory supplements are a category of products with a very subjective effect.

They're not like nerve pain or hair loss supplements, for instance.

That's why nootropics have a much higher rate of mixed reviews than other classes of supplements.

Conclusion 

Mind Lab Pro has a mixed feedback overall.

It mostly has satisfied users, but its negative reviews are present as well.

So is it the kind of supplement I would recommend, in terms of results.

I personally haven't found anything better at this point.

#5 – Side Effects (7 out of 10)

Cognitive supplements tend to cause side effects mostly when overdosed.

But since there's a difference between the standard and maximum recommended dose – side effects can be common.

And that's also the case of Mind Lab Pro:

• some people complain about extra stimulation
• others say it made them very sick
• a few others claim it caused them insomnia

As I said – side effects shouldn't appear if you take the minimum dosage.

That's why I recommend starting with 2 pills of this product and see how things go.

Normally, you shouldn't experience any side reaction.

If you do increase the dose, your chances of adverse effects also increase.

But normally, this product is very safe and well-tolerated at regular doses.

#6 – Price (7 out of 10)

Mind Lab Pro's price is one of its biggest downsides.

That's because this supplement is quite expensive overall.

1. The Exact Price

Basically – Mind Lab Pro has several options:

1. Standard price is $65/bottle.
2. Shipping costs around $2.
3. As in most supplements, price gets better with higher quantities.
4. In the best case, it costs around $49/bottle.
5. Shipping is free in this case.

Now – there's no price/bottle difference between the one and 2 months supply.

So you can only get the best price if you go for the 3 months supply directly.

That's completely up to you.

However, this supplement is indeed on the pricier side – so make sure you can afford it in the long term.

It's true that many nootropics tend to cost about the same.

And unfortunately, most of them contain some basic ingredients.

Luckily, that's not the case of Mind Lab Pro at all.

2. Worth Or Not?

In my opinion, it's completely worth it.

As I said – it's indeed on the pricier side, but so are many other brain supplements.

And how many of them are actually effective? 

I would say less than 5% – but Mind Lab Pro is the top one from those 5%.

That's why I consider it a much better option than most nootropics out there.

It's probably one of the few brain supplements that is actually worth it.

Conclusion

Mind Lab Pro is a bit expensive overall.

That's why makes it quite hard to afford in the long run.

But most alternatives cost about the same (despite being much weaker).

So Mind Lab Pro makes a much better option overall.

#7 – FAQs

Let's address the common queries about Mind Lab Pro.

Note: I might repeat something I already mentioned, but it's easier to spot here.

1. What does this supplement target?

3. Is one bottle designed for a month's use?

4. Can it potentially cause adverse reactions?

5. What is the pricing information for this product?

#8 – Availability (8 out of 10)

This supplement is quite easy to find online, but you have to be careful about this.

First of all – its main seller is its official website.

However, it's also available on Amazon:

• the seller isn't its actual producer
• it might not be the original product

Basically – Opti-Nutra (the official producer) claims it doesn't sell the product outside its official website.

So the product from Amazon may not be the original version.

Still, I strongly recommend going for the official website:

1. Price is around $80/bottle.
2. There are no discounts.
3. It's mostly available in the US.
4. There's no money back guarantee.

So keep this in mind before buying this supplement.

#9 – Final Conclusions

Here's how I would sum up my opinion on Mind Lab Pro in 3 ideas.

1. One Of The Best Formulas

If you ask me – this supplement might have the best ingredients from the market:

• contains 11 different substances
• has clinical evidence behind
• some of its compounds come in their strongest version

So in terms of composition, it looks amazing.

2. Plantcaps Pills

Its pills are also original in terms of formulation:

• they're designed as “plantcaps”
• they look like classic gelatin pills
• but their cover is completely transparent
• you can see a brown powder inside

The daily dosage isn't the lowest, that's true.

But this shouldn't be a major issue at first.

3. Hard To Afford

On the long term, Mind Lab Pro isn't very cheap.

Its price is actually quite high overall (despite being totally worth it).

So make sure you afford buying this product for at least 2-3 months from now.

Otherwise, start with a cheaper alternative and see how that goes.

My Verdict – Worth Or Not?

Short answer: Definitely.

It's probably the best cognitive supplement I know:

1. One of the best formulas and ingredients.
2. Really high doses in most compounds.
3. Enough satisfied users behind.
4. Very professional composition and ingredients.

So from my point of view, it's totally worth buying.

The only problem is that it's obviously not a cheap product at all.

Still, other weaker supplements aren't any cheaper either.

Just make sure that you afford it on the long term.

If that's your case, it's surely among my top picks.

You will definitely not regret buying it – your memory and cognition will thank you eventually!
