The title alone excited me: Neuro Drinks. I have mixed feelings about this product, but my curiosity has been piqued.
Each blend appears to contain herbs and amino acids. They’ve done their homework, since all additives have proven effective (at least to some extent) in clinical trials. But I’m curious about the concentration of active ingredients. The “proprietary blend” is listed in milligrams, which may as well be an arbitrary number. I wonder if Neuro Drinks pack a real punch or a pricey placebo effect.
This is a very interesting topic to me as I currently study the ways in which the brain chemically reproduces or creates what it expects to experience. Is the IDEA of “Neurogasm” enough to create the purported effect of the beverage itself? Do chemistry and expectation work together?
The product page is dreadfully/delightfully full of shameless gimmicks. Chief among them: a roster of flashy celebrity endorsements. The marketing campaign is, in a word, “Hollywood”…right down to the spokesmodel (who conjures up images in my head of a mail order bride, painfully rebuilt by prominent LA surgeons and placed in front of a teleprompter).
I hope I never live to see the day when cleavage takes over as the main marketing device for legitimate biochemical advancements. It’s certainly not how I’m going to sell my own practice or discoveries.
Has anyone tried these beverages? Reviews?

I saw these on a Famima email news letter I received today. Have you ever been to a Famima?!?
I drank NeuroSleep last night and effing WHOA. I bought it on a lark on my way home from a comedy show. Was very keyed up, didn’t expect it to work at all and even tried to get some writing done. 5 minutes later I had fallen asleep on my bed, fully clothed. It worked a little too well.
I have to say, I really enjoy these drinks. Maybe part of it is the placebo effect, but they seem to work well enough for me. As Rachel also did, I’ve picked up NeuroSleep a few times and fell asleep almost immediately after. I drank NeuroSonic once and proceeded to power out a paper for school; I’ve tried NeuroBliss but I was still extremely hungover. I usually get NeuroGasm, which seems to put me in a better mood, although I have never drank it before getting frisky. Maybe just the suggestion of its powers does the trick for me, who knows?
