Lumultra Review (Lumonol): Be Careful Before Ordering Nootropics

Lumultra (before Lumonol) is a nootropic stack developed in the US to help improve energy, focus, and memory. It is marketed as the Americas’ best brain enhancer, but is it really so good? Check out my comprehensive Lumultra review to find out.

Overview 

Lumultra is a brain supplement developed by Avanse Nutraceuticals for overall cognitive enhancement for overachievers. It supports focus, concentration, working memory, and creativity. It is known for boosting cognitive performance and for reducing nervousness, anxiety, and stress, giving you the ability to remember things better.

Compared to most other nootropic supplements, Lumultra contains Noopept, a synthetic compound lacking research on healthy people.

Besides Noopept, you can find 7 other potent nootropics in Lumultra formulation. Since they are part of three different blends of ingredients, we don’t know the amount of each compound in Lumultra.

This makes me wonder – is Lumultra an effective and safe nootropic stack? Let’s find out more.

My Experience

The best way to test the efficacy of a nootropic supplement is to test it thoroughly. And that’s exactly what I did.

I was lucky enough to have a chance to test the old version (named Lumonol brain pill), and recently, I tried the updated Lumultra version as well. Here’s what happened during the test week.

During the test week, I was taking 2 capsules of Lumultra per day. I always took the capsules in the morning (with and without food).

In a matter of 30 minutes after taking the capsules, I felt a mild energy boost. The effects were weaker than with some other similar brain supplements, but I could feel something was going on.

I became slightly more focused and motivated.

I expected the effects to last for a few hours at least, but that didn’t happen. Just the opposite, after an hour of taking the capsules, I had a weird feeling in my stomach and head. I didn’t really feel sick, but I felt slightly nauseous.

After searching for users’ reviews, I found many reviews of Lumultra users claiming the same effects. So I decided to make a thorough analysis to find out where’s the problem.

I soon realized that a combination of Noopept (an under-researched compound) with a relatively high Guarana dosage could cause this weird feeling.

So all-in-all, I expected way more from Lumultra than it actually delivered. Instead of feeling focused, energized, and motivated for a couple of hours, I felt nauseous and unable to work on the important things.

Let’s check the Lumultra ingredients now to understand where the problem is.

Ingredients 

Lumultra combines a mixture of nootropics for energy, nootropics for focus, and nootropics for memory.

According to their explanation, three critical stages influence our performance:

Stage 1: Anxiolytic Properties allow Undistracted Focus.
What this means is that Lumultra may provide clarity, improved memory, and mood.

Stage 2: Increased blood flow to the brain means better memory, focus, and motivation.

Stage 3: Regaining Vision and Direction in Your Life.

Well, we could stop here for a moment and discuss this. But let’s say it this way – if you feel happy 99% of the time, are productive, have a strong focus, and have a good memory, you can become pretty successful at what you do.

Despite a logical explanation, I have to point out that Lumultra contains proprietary blends. This means that they hide the amount of each nootropic ingredient in their formula. This usually happens when a company tries to save money by adding a low amount of expensive compounds to their formula and increasing the amount of a stimulant to feel the effects.

Sadly, Lumultra contains a stimulant (guarana), so this explanation is logical, but is it true? Let’s check the formulation in detail to find out.

Energy Blend (400 mg)

Energy blend combines two potent compounds – Panax ginseng and guarana.

Panax Ginseng

Panax Ginseng is a powerful plant that contains ginsenosides (also called ginseng saponins), the potent and active compounds of this plant. Studies show that supplementing Ginseng improves mental health in just 4 weeks. [*] [*]

Ginseng may also help with depression, DNA damage, blood flow and could even induce calmness. [*]

Guarana

Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a special seed that contains more caffeine than coffee beans. Caffeine is a potent stimulant that boosts energy levels. [*] Guarana also contains xanthines, which may be responsible for guarana antioxidant properties.

Until recently, Lumultra (or Lumonol) contained Hordenine, a completely underresearched compound that was potentially very risky.

Luckily, the updated formula does not contain it anymore. However, we still don’t know the exact amount of guarana and Panax ginseng in this formulation, which is troubling.

Focus Blend (515 mg)

The Focus blend consists of L-Tyrosine, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Phosphatidylserine, and Noopept.

Most nootropics stacks do not use Noopept due to the lack of research, but Lumultra bets on it.

More and more experts are reporting about the positive effects of taking Noopept, and there is also one (only one) scientific study proving that.

Some experts say that Noopept affects the ability of our brain to keep information and recall it later. It is beneficial for everyone, especially students, who need to memorize many things in their classes and school activities. It is also helpful for busy working individuals, making their way to balance personal matters to career life.

On the other side, many customers experienced side effects when supplementing Noopept.

Compared to other nootropics, Noopept is not a natural ingredient but rather a synthesized nootropic drug. While it might be beneficial for short-term use, I cannot imagine taking it in the long term. It’s just underresearched and too risky.

L-Tyrosine

L-tyrosine is a potent amino acid that produces two important neurotransmitters – dopamine and noradrenaline. [*] [*] Supplementing NALT is beneficial for people with ADHD [*], and it promotes cognitive flexibility in healthy adults [*].

Sadly, Lumultra contains L-tyrosine and not N-Acetyl-l-Tyrosine, which is its more bioavailable form.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine

L-carnitine is an amino acid that is produced by the body from lysine and methionine. It is known to be involved in the mitochondrial oxidation of long-chain fatty acids. [*]

Supplementing L-carnitine may be beneficial for depression, and it can reduce fatigue. [*] [*] The standard dose is between 500-2000 mg.

The total focus blend contains 515 mg of ingredients. This means that either l-carnitine is completely underdosed or other ingredients are underdosed.

Phosphatidylserine

Phosphatidylserine is a compound similar to a dietary fat found in human neural tissue. Supplementing phosphatidylserine contributes to cognitive functioning, slows down cognitive decline, and improves memory. [*]

For example, in one study where people were given 300 mg of phosphatidylserine for 6 months, the scores on the rating scales associated with cognitive decline and dementia improved. [*]

Another study shows that supplementing 300 mg of phosphatidylserine for 12 weeks significantly reduced symptoms of cognitive decline in persons with Alzheimer’s disease. [*]

The recommended daily dosage is 100 mg, taken up to 3 times.

In general, the focus blend contains potent compounds, but there are two major issues with the blend:

1. The ingredients are underdosed
2. The blend contains Noopept, an underresearched compound

Memory Blend (170 mg)

Memory blend combines famous Ginkgo Biloba and Alpha GPC.

Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba is a popular herb used by the elderly to slow down cognitive decline. [*] Multiple studies confirm that supplementing ginkgo improves cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms in persons with dementia. [*] Ginkgo can also improve memory and brain function in the elderly. [*]

Alpha GPC

Alpha GPC is a cholinergic compound that increases the amount of acetylcholine in our brain. [*] Supplementing Alpha GPC may slow down cognitive decline.

This is a great combo, no doubt about that!

BUT...It’s completely underdosed.

The minimum recommended daily dosage of Ginkgo Biloba is between 120 – 240 mg. And the recommended daily dosage of Alpha GPC is between 300 – 600 mg.

So, if you do the simple math, you will quickly understand that the memory blend simply cannot work.

My opinion about the formula

In general, Lumultra (Lumonol) consists of very effective nootropics. But there are 3 critical issues here:

1. It contains risky and under-researched nootropics (Noopept)
2. The formula is underdosed
3. We don’t know the exact amount of individual compounds in this stack

Before I conclude about this nootropic stack, let’s check some other important details.

Is It Safe?

No, based on my detailed research, I don’t believe Lumonol (Lumultra) is safe. It contains underresearched and potentially risky nootropics. Until more research is done, I recommend avoiding Lumultra.

Daily Dosage

The recommended daily dosage of Lumultra is 2 capsules.

It’s recommended to take Lumonol pills in the morning with or after your breakfast.

Due to the risky nootropics that this supplement contains, I recommend consulting your Physician before supplementing Lumultra.

Side Effects

Due to the several risky nootropics in this stack, you can expect adverse side effects.

Most often, people report stomach pain, headaches, and brain fog. During my test period, I sadly experienced similar issues.

However, I’m more afraid of long-term side effects due to the lack of research. So, be careful!

Lumultra vs Mind Lab Pro

Mind Lab Pro is the most popular nootropic stack in the world. But is it better than Lumultra?

Based on my research and experience, I believe Mind Lab Pro is a superior product to Lumonol.

I also prefer Mind Lab Pro also because it uses only well-researched nootropics, and you know the exact amount of all ingredients in the stack. It’s much safer, and it delivers better results.
