How does Brain Essentials compare?

Brain Essentials lists 16 ingredients fewer than 1,000 mg Vitamin C Acai Berry. That is 4 below the other combinations average.
What the Label Data Shows
With 18 ingredients on the label, Brain Essentials is one of the more extensive other combinations supplement formulas from Swanson in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in capsule form. These ingredients span 8 nutrient categories, mineral, vitamin, botanical, amino acid, and 4 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.
Across a broader 18-ingredient formula, 18 of 18 carry no FDA reference-intake value, typical for a formula this size: larger blends tend to pull in botanicals, amino acids, and specialty compounds without an assigned Daily Value. Breadth like this isn't a red flag by itself.
Market status matters for supplement research. This product is currently listed as on-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2024-02-22. This product is actively distributed in the U.S. right now. As with every DSLD entry, that listing reflects the manufacturer's self-declared label, not an independent safety or efficacy review.
About the DSLD database
The DSLD is a label database, not an FDA approval list, under the 1994 DSHEA framework, dietary supplements do not require pre-market approval, and label information reflects what manufacturers self-declare rather than independent laboratory verification. This page presents factual label data for reference only and is not medical advice; consult a licensed healthcare provider before making decisions about any supplement.
