Relacore Brain Booster Review Summary
A seriously disappointing cognitive enhancer. Relacore Brain Booster doesn’t even come close to giving you good value for money. We get a bunch of vitamins, a few minerals, and a tiny proprietary blend. The fact that it uses a proprietary blend would be enough to put us off this product. But some of the ingredients in the Relacore Brain Booster proprietary blend are ineffective. We could be paying good money for a formula comprised mainly of Carnitine.
Obviously this isn’t a stack for someone serious about improving their cognitive performance. It definitely isn’t the right nootropic for someone looking for good value. Relacore have really let us down here.
Where To Buy Relacore Brain Booster
You can buy this stuff from major retailers, or directly from Relacore.
Full Relacore Brain Booster Review
Relacore Brain Booster is a very popular cognitive enhancement supplement right now. Some major supplement review sites have given it a thorough appraisal, and a few have declared it a solid product. But it’s extremely hard to tell if those reviewers are legit, or if they’re paid shills. That’s where we come in.
So what is Relacore Brain Booster all about?
What is it designed to do? Who is it for?
If we look at the product box, we see that Relacore Brain Booster has been specifically designed to “address the underlying cause of stress-related brain fatigue to help protect against cognitive decline”.
Stress-induced cognitive impairment is the target here.
That’s great. Not every stack needs to try to be a comprehensive nootropic. Having a very specific, highly refined purpose will generally make for a good supplement. We’re told a few more of the main benefits on the box:
- Stress-related memory loss prevention
- Enhanced focus
- Improved mood
- Better ability to recall, retain, and act on new information
- Enhanced working memory
Stress absolutely destroys cognitive function; your decision making basically falls apart, and you can’t focus on the most important part of a problem. So this certainly sounds like a great supplement.
If you’re going through a tough time at work, or if you’re slugging through yet another bout of exams, then this might be the ideal product for you.
The question is; does Relacore Brain Booster actually work?
Can it really improve memory function during times of acute stress?
Does it boost mood while promoting focus?
How safe is Relacore Brain Booster?
How does it compare to the best nootropics on the market right now? Can another product do what Relacore Brain Booster does, but better?
Let’s find out together. Below is our full Relacore Brain Booster review. As always, we start with the most important aspect of any supplement: the formula! Please post any comments or questions in the comments section at the end.
Relacore Brain Booster Formula
Let’s take a closer look at the Relacore Brain Booster formula:
That’s not a good formula at all.
We hate proprietary blends at the best of times. Even if a blend only had 2 ingredients, both of them powerful nootropics, we’d still rather know exactly what we’re getting for our money.
There’s no good reason to use a proprietary blend, after all.
But a proprietary blend is absolutely unacceptable if it contains several ingredients.
When some of those ingredients are not known to have any of the benefits listed on the bottle, we have a real problem on our hands.
The bulk of the formula is made up of a vitamin and mineral stack.
The prop blend is tiny too.
All in all, a very poor nootropic. Let’s go through some of this in more detail.
Major Issue – Tiny Proprietary Blend
The main issue with the Relacore Brain Booster formula is the absolutely minuscule proprietary blend.
The proprietary blend is 305mg.
There are six ingredients in total.
That means that each ingredient has an average serving size of around 50mg.
We don’t need to tell you that this is a pathetic average serving size.
For any ingredient to be dosed above 50mg, another must be dosed under 50mg. No ingredient is going to have a particularly strong effect at this dosage. Even the most potent nootropic is unlikely to do very much dosed below 100mg (there are exceptions of course).
One of the best ingredients in Relacore Brain Booster is Bacopa monnieri. But assuming it is a high quality extract, we need at least 150mg to really get any benefit from this potentially amazing brain booster.
Not good enough.

Major Issue – Ineffective Ingredients
The size of the blend is made an even bigger issue by the presence of useless ingredients.
For example, we don’t think anybody is going to get any noticeable cognitive enhancements from 305mg or less of Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR).
ALCAR is usually taken to help improve athletic performance and enhance fat loss. It isn’t really thought to have any effect on cognition – definitely not at these doses anyway, whatever the ALCAR dose actually is!
Nor do we expect to see any cognitive enhancements from 305mg of Japanese Knotweed, Quercetin, or Ziziphus Jujuba Extract.
Any one of these essentially useless ingredients could make up 90% or more of the Relacore Brain Booster proprietary blend. Together, they might comprise 90% or more of this blend.
Not what we expect from a high quality nootropic supplement.
What’s also striking about these ingredients is that they aren’t known anxiolytics (anxiety busters).
For a stack that is supposedly all about reducing stress and anxiety, we expected to see a lot more ingredients known to reduce stress and anxiety. But there aren’t any of the obvious anxiolytics in here: no rhodiola rosea, no Tyrosine, no Ashwagandha.

Relacore Brain Booster Side Effects
The obvious upside of this product is that side effects are unlikely to be a serious problem for most users.
That is largely due to the fact that the interesting ingredients are all lumped together into a tiny prop blend, and many of them are useless. But it is true that side effects shouldn’t be a big issue with Relacore Brain Booster.
Of course, we are dealing with a proprietary blend here, so there is an inherent degree of uncertainty.
Any of the ingredients in the prop blend could be dosed as high as 304mg. We don’t think that’s likely, but it’s possible. That is a high dose for any ingredient.
But as we said, most of the ingredients in Relacore Brain Booster are pretty benign.
At the end of the day, everybody is different. You all have your own individual tolerance levels, allergies and sensitivities.
It is vital that you do your own research and read the ingredients list very carefully.
Relacore Brain Booster Review Conclusion
If you’ve read the entire Relacore Brain Booster review above, then it should be clear that this stress and anxiety busting supplement is a poor choice for anybody wanting good value for money.
A tiny prop blend full of underwhelming ingredients never makes for a good brain supplement.
There aren’t any of the obvious big anxiolytics in here, which is strange for a product so emphatically about stress and anxiety.
You can do much better.
