Does Cebria Enhance Your Memory? Full Data-Based Review

feature_cebria

Cebria’s advertisements have left a lot of people intrigued. Can just taking a pill help stop memory loss? Or is this another scam that’ll take your money and leave you with no benefits? It can be difficult to wade through all the information online while trying to figure out what the real truth is. Fortunately, we’re here to help.

In our unbiased guide, we dig into the full truth behind Cebria. We’ll explain what Cebria memory improvement pills are, what they claim to do, and what the real scientific evidence behind them is (spoiler alert: their website doesn’t tell the full story!). After reading this guide, you’ll know everything you need to know about Cebria and whether it’s a miracle drug or a rip-off.

 

What Is Cebria?

Cebria is a memory enhancement made by Ever-Neuro Pharma, an Austrian nutraceutical company. The makers of Cebria claim that taking it regularly will slow down and/or reverse short-term memory loss and help improve memory.

If you take Cebria, the website claims you will:

  • Stop forgetting where you parked and why you walked into a room.
  • Think faster and remember more.
  • Sweep away that brain fog.

Supposedly, the pills achieve this by supplying your brain with neuropeptides which allow neurons in your brain to continue making connections, thus keeping your memory strong. Even though memory loss primarily affects people over 50, Cebria is marketed towards all healthy adults.

Users are instructed to take one gelatin capsule per day and are supposed to begin seeing results after about a month of use.

 

What Are Cebria’s Ingredients?

Cebria’s active ingredients are combined into what the producers call a “Neuro Pep 12” which is a mixture of these 14 amino acids:

  • Lactose
  • Glutamic acid
  • Lysine
  • Leucine
  • Arginine
  • Aspartic acid
  • Phenylalanine
  • Valine
  • Threonine
  • Tyrosine
  • Isoleucine
  • Histidine
  • Methionine
  • Tryptophan

While each of these amino acids is necessary for cognitive health, that doesn’t necessarily mean that taking a capsule full of them will help improve your memory. A Cebria capsule may not have enough of each amino acid to make a difference, and/or the amino acids in the capsule may not be in a form the body can break down and use.

We discuss this, and other reasons to be wary of Cebria, more in the next sections.

 

What Are the Cebria Side Effects?

Cebria is likely not dangerous to take, and there are no reports of anyone taking it developing serious side effects. Anecdotal evidence suggests that Cebria side effects can include headache, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain.

However, Cebria contains lactose, which may cause side effects if you’re lactose intolerant. It also contains phenylalanine and shouldn’t be taken by phenylketonurics. There are no stated guidelines as to whether you should take Cebria with food and water or on an empty stomach, but some people who take supplements on an empty stomach develop feelings of nausea or other discomfort, so you may want to take it during mealtime.

Why You Should Be Skeptical of Cebria

So is Cebria the key to never forgetting where you put your car keys again? Not so fast. Despite Cebria’s big claims, there are many reasons to be wary of this supplement. Let’s look at the three key reasons.

 

#1: Little Information About Ingredients

If you look at the list of Cebria ingredients on the label, you’ll see that the manufacturers of Cebria don’t state how much of each individual ingredient is included in a capsule. On the Cebria website and bottles, the only information given is that each capsule contains 282.2 mg of the Neuro Pep 12 blend.

It’s quite unusual for a supplement company not to include this information, and it means you may be getting lots of one amino acid and a few specks of others, which hurts Cebria’s claims that it provides enough of each amino acid needed for improved memory. There’s also the possibility that you could be paying for pills that are mostly full of useless ingredients and contain very little of the amino acids.

 

#2: Lack of Scientific Evidence

The absolute most important reason to be skeptical of Cebria is that there is no scientific evidence supporting any of its claims. On the website, it states that “a double-blind clinical trial shows that people suffering from age-related memory loss experience improvement with Cebria,” and there is a link to a very brief study entitled “Effects of N-PEP-12 on memory among older adults.”

However, if you read the study, it’s clear that no one in that study was actually given Cebria; they were given N-PEP-12, which is a neuropeptide compound. Because Cebria makers don’t disclose how much of each ingredient is actually in a Cebria capsule, it’s impossible to know how similar N-PEP-12 is to Cebria.

Additionally, in the full study, the researchers admit that those who took the neuropeptide compound only did better on some memory tests and not others, and they state that more testing is needed to determine if N-PEP-12 is actually effective. None of this information is included in the excerpt on the Cebria website.

Previously on their website, the makers of Cebria used to claim the above study was conducted using Cebria, but they’ve since changed their wording, apparently after several other websites called them out on misinformation. While there have been studies showing that the individual amino acids used in Cebria are important for memory, there is no evidence that the amounts or forms of the amino acid used in Cebria are useful to the body and can improve memory.

Here are the takeaways from this:

  • Despite claims on the website, there have been no scientific studies that show Cebria improves memory.
  • A scientific study using a supplement that is possibly similar to Cebria showed mixed results and suggested more testing was necessary to draw firm conclusions.
  • The makers of Cebria published inaccurate information on their website to make it look like the evidence supporting Cebria is stronger than it actually is.

There is no scientific evidence Cebria improves memory, Cebria has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and on the Cebria website there is a disclaimer stating: “This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.”

 

#3: Conflicting Reviews

It can be difficult to find accurate, unbiased Cebria reviews since many websites supporting its claims are little more than glorified advertisements that promote the benefits of Cebria without giving any evidence to support their claims.

Using an independent source, like Amazon can help yield somewhat more accurate reviews. On Amazon, Cebria has an average rating of 3.3 out of 5 stars, a lower rating than most other Amazon products, but one that shows at least some reviewers are happy with it.

Below are some negative Cebria reviews for Cebria.

  • “I took this product for 1 month and had no [results] at all.
  • “This product didn’t seem to change anything!”
  • “Seen no positive results no negative either shouldn’t have believed the hype”
  • “Cebria did not help at all. Very disappointed .”

There were, however positive reviews as well.

  • “Have been using Cebria for almost a month, improvements have been noted.”
  • “I’m on my 4th week taking this product and I have to say I’m impressed. I remembered where I put my keys in fact my memory is now better than ever. I like to read now before I didn’t. I have less anxiety when I go out. I have energy all day! “
  • “Was quite skeptical at first. Within 25 days of taking the product, I found that I have quite vivid dreams and able to recall the dream quite accurately.”

How can there be such differing Cebria reviews? Many times, when people take a product they want to work, they experience something called the “placebo effect” where just by believing something will work they convince themselves they are seeing improvements.

It’s also important to note that many benefits claimed in the positive reviews are unrelated to Cebria’s stated benefits. Having more energy, having less anxiety, enjoying reading more, and having more vivid dreams are unrelated to memory recall. It’s possible the users did experience these changes, but they weren’t due to Cebria. This further supports the placebo effect theory that users are simply looking for any evidence, however slight, that Cebria works.

How Do You Buy Cebria? How Much Does Cebria Cost?

There are two ways to order Cebria. The first is through the Cebria website. You’ll receive two boxes of 60 pills every two months for $79.90 plus $9.95 in shipping and handling. This comes out to about $45 a month. Your credit card will continue to be charged every two months unless you cancel your subscription. Cebria advertises a 30-day “risk free” trial period, but that only means there will be a 30-day delay before your card is charged.

You can also order Cebria through Amazon. It costs about $58 for a one month’s supply (30 pills).  Depending on how you order it, Cebria will cost you about $1.50 to $2 a day, or about $547.50 to $730 a year.

 

Summary: Is Cebria a Scam?

Unfortunately, the Cebria supplement is not the miracle memory drug it claims to be. The truth is, is there really was a pill that could stop short-term memory loss and help everyone improve their memory, it would be widely supported by doctors and science. This isn’t the case, so don’t fall for the Cebria scam.

The little scientific evidence there is on the subject is inconclusive, and many users of the supplement have stated they haven’t seen a difference in memory since using it. The makers of Cebria further confuse things by not listing how much of each ingredient Cebria contains, so people who take the capsules don’t know exactly what they’re consuming.

If you’re interested in improving your memory through supplements, there are many other options out there, and most of them are significantly cheaper than Cebria. In addition to other memory-improvement supplements, taking Omega-3 fish oil supplements, ginseng, and/or ginkgo biloba may help with memory. However, be aware that each of these options has inconclusive results and needs additional studies on them before their impact on memory can be fully known. Unfortunately, there’s currently no silver bullet for memory loss.
