I just saw the commerical for Cebria. It sounds pretty interesting. However at closer glance, its ingredients seem nothing out of the ordinary. What is your thoughts on Cebria?
Information from their website:
* What is Cebria? Cebria is a natural memory improvement supplement that’s said to help improve short term memory and increase ability to retain information. This patented blend of neuropeptides is aimed at rebuilding the “connections between brain cells, stimulating your brain’s natural ability to repair and grow.”
* What are the Cebria ingredients? According to its website, Cebria contains a proprietary blend of nootropics to improve memory loss, including lactose, glutamic acid, lysine, leucine, arginine, asparatic acid, serine, phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tyrosine, isoleucine, histidine, methionine, and tryptophan.

Neuropeptide is still a relatively new idea. These products are probably trying to get a head start on the market, so their effectiveness can be questionable.
However putting their absorption, transport, and effectiveness aside, does the idea of neuropeptide supplements actually work? In other words, Cebria claims that its pill helps neurons "branch" out to other neurons thus helping their "communication"? If so, will it still works for younger people in their 20s as opposed to people in their 60s?

Neuropeptides are actually very good. My company is selling some. We have sold Selank, and are going to have Semax, higher dose Selank, and CJC-1295 soon. They can be very effective. However, peptides are rapidly broken down in the GI tract, and must be injected subcutaneously or sprayed intranasally to be effective. So taking these pills are not going to do anything. Add that to the fact that breaking the peptides into their amino acid parts completely changes their effects, and the Cebria claims are dubious at best, and flat out lies at worst.
