Neuro Recall Ingredients List: How Much of Each Can the Blend Hold?
Divide the blend's total weight by an ingredient's place in the list. Because blend ingredients must be listed from most to least by weight (21 CFR 101.36 - proprietary blends), the line in position k can weigh at most the total divided by k. In Neuro Recall's 635 mg blend, that caps ginkgo at about 318 mg and bacopa at about 159 mg.

The rule
Why can you estimate amounts in a blend at all?
Because the order is not random. Federal labeling rules say blend ingredients without a Daily Value must be listed from most to least by weight, with only the blend's total shown (21 CFR 101.36 - proprietary blends).
That order is a clue. Every line above an ingredient weighs at least as much as it does. So a simple division puts a ceiling on each one.
This is our arithmetic, not a lab result. It tells you the most an ingredient could be, never the real amount. The real amounts are hidden and are probably lower.
The method
How does the 635/k cap method work?
It takes four steps and a calculator. We use Neuro Recall's WMG-NVT Exclusive Blend, which totals 635 mg per 2-capsule serving.
Find the total
Read the blend's weight on the Supplement Facts panel. Here it is 635 mg.
Number the lines
Count each blend line in printed order. Cinnamon is 1, ginkgo is 2, lutein and zeaxanthin is 10.
Divide by position
Line k can be at most 635 / k mg. If k lines each weighed more, they would exceed the total.
Compare with research
Set each cap beside the dose used in studies. A cap below that dose cannot match the trials.
Worked example
What are the caps for every line in Neuro Recall's blend?
Every line after the first has a cap well under the blend total. The table applies the method to all ten lines in printed order.
| Position (k) | Blend line | Cap: 635 / k | Dose used in research | Cap reaches research dose? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cinnamon extract | 635 mg | No verified dose (NCCIH - Cinnamon) | Not applicable |
| 2 | Ginkgo biloba extract | 318 mg | 240 mg a day (GEM trial (DeKosky 2008)) | Only if ginkgo fills about 38% of the blend |
| 3 | Bilberry extract | 212 mg | Up to 160 mg tolerated (NCCIH - Bilberry) | Possible, but no proven use |
| 4 | Bacopa extract | 159 mg | 300-450 mg (StatPearls - Bacopa monnieri) | No |
| 5 | Green tea extract | 127 mg | No memory dose | Not applicable |
| 6 | Berberine HCl | 106 mg | No verified dose in our sources (MSK - Berberine) | Unknown |
| 7 | L-theanine | 91 mg | 50-400 mg (Matyus 2025 - L-theanine meta-analysis) | Low end only |
| 8 | Alpha-lipoic acid | 79 mg | 600 mg (MSK - Alpha-lipoic acid) | No |
| 9 | Alpha-GPC | 71 mg | 1,200 mg (AlzDiscovery - Alpha-GPC review) | No |
| 10 | Lutein and zeaxanthin | 64 mg | 10 mg + 2 mg (NEI - AREDS2 supplements) | Possible |
Caps are rounded. They assume the label follows the by-weight rule. Studies tested single ingredients, not Neuro Recall.
At a glance
How far are the caps from research doses?
For most brain ingredients, the cap is a fraction of the studied dose. The bars show the gap for six key lines, including chromium, which is printed in full.
Going further
Can the math say more than the caps?
Yes. Each cap looks at one line alone, but all ten lines must also add up to 635 mg. That gives a few more firm clues.
- Cinnamon has a floor. The first line must weigh at least the average, 635 / 10, or about 64 mg.
- Ginkgo crowds out the rest. If ginkgo were 240 mg, cinnamon would be at least 240 mg too. That leaves at most 155 mg for eight lines, about 19 mg each.
- Bacopa cannot reach 300 mg. Four lines of 300 mg would need 1,200 mg, almost twice the blend.
- Standards shrink the active part. Bacopa at its 159 mg cap with 20% bacosides is about 32 mg of bacosides. If green tea extract is about 50% EGCG, that is at most about 64 mg.

What can the cap method not tell you?
It cannot tell you the real amounts, the extract quality, or whether the product works. It only rules out what the label math makes impossible.
A blend could even hold far less than the caps. The last line could, in theory, be close to zero. Only the maker knows, and no maker or distributor is named on the label images. No lab report for the product is published either.
The four nutrients outside the blend do have printed amounts: folate, vitamin B12 240 mcg, magnesium 250 mg and chromium 120 mcg. Those you can check directly. Our Supplement Facts guide covers each one.
Your turn
How can you use this on any supplement?
Use it on any label with a blend, then decide whether the hidden doses matter to you. If one ingredient is the reason you are buying, look for a product that prints its milligrams.
Memory loss that disrupts daily life, or numbness and tingling, deserves a medical check. Show the full label to your pharmacist, since several of these herbs interact with medicines (NIH ODS - What you need to know).
Our memory supplement checklist puts this math beside five other checks. For bacopa's research in detail, see the bacopa ingredient page.
Bottom line
What does the math say about Neuro Recall?
The math says the brain herbs in Neuro Recall are likely below the doses used in research. Bacopa, ALA and alpha-GPC cannot reach their studied amounts, however the blend is split.
That does not make the product unsafe or useless. It means the label does not support a memory claim, and to its credit, the label does not make one. We are the U.S. stocking partner for Neuro Recall and earn money on orders, and we would still rather you buy with the numbers in view.
FAQ
Proprietary blend math questions
How do you calculate the amount of an ingredient in a proprietary blend?
You cannot get the exact amount, but you can find a ceiling. Divide the blend total by the ingredient's position in the list. Because ingredients are listed from most to least by weight (21 CFR 101.36 - proprietary blends), the fourth line of a 635 mg blend can weigh at most about 159 mg.
What is the most bacopa the blend could hold?
The amount is not printed. Bacopa is the fourth line of the 635 mg blend, so by our arithmetic it is at most about 159 mg. Research has used 300 to 450 mg a day (StatPearls - Bacopa monnieri), so Neuro Recall cannot match those trial doses.
What is the WMG-NVT Exclusive Blend?
It is Neuro Recall's 635 mg proprietary blend of ten lines: cinnamon, ginkgo, bilberry, bacopa, green tea, berberine, L-theanine, alpha-lipoic acid, alpha-GPC, and lutein with zeaxanthin. No Daily Value is set for these, and no single amount is shown.
Is the 635/k cap the real amount of each ingredient?
No. It is the most each line could weigh if the label follows the by-weight rule. Real amounts are hidden and are probably lower, because the lines above must weigh at least as much and all ten share 635 mg. Only the maker knows the true figures.
Are proprietary blends a red flag?
Not always, but they limit what you can check. A blend is legal and shows the total weight with ingredients in order (21 CFR 101.36 - proprietary blends). When ten lines share a few hundred milligrams, the math shows most must be small. Prefer printed doses for ingredients you care about.
Why is the bilberry in Neuro Recall labeled Vaccinium cyanococcus?
The label prints "Vaccinium cyanococcus," which names the blueberry group, not true bilberry, Vaccinium myrtillus. It sits third in the blend, capped at about 212 mg. Bilberry has not been clearly shown to help any health condition (NCCIH - Bilberry), so the mix-up has little practical effect.
What are the ingredients in Neuro Recall supplement and how much of each?
The label lists the ingredients inside a 635 mg blend without separate amounts. The cap method gives upper limits only: ginkgo about 318 mg and bacopa about 159 mg. The post has the full table for every line.
Can I print the Neuro Recall ingredients list with the blend caps?
The post sets out the blend caps in a full table, line by line, which you can print or copy for your own notes. Remember the numbers are upper limits from the 635 mg total, not measured doses.
