Primal Mind Review

Primal Mind Fuel Review

Primal Mind Fuel is a capsule supplement produced by Primal Harvest. The supplement is supposed to support cognitive function, improve mental clarity, increase energy levels, and boost focus.

The formula contains a number of B vitamins, as well as powerful herbal extracts and adaptogens.

Although Primal Mind Fuel is not vegan or vegetarian due to the fact that the capsules are made from gelatin, the capsules are gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free.

Primal Harvest is a popular supplement brand and Primal Mind Fuel is a supplement produced by them that’s slowly rising in popularity and therefore, I’m definitely keen to take a look at it to see if these capsules really are beneficial.

If you’re thinking of purchasing the Primal Mind Fuel capsule supplement, or you also want to take a closer look at the formula, check out my full Primal Mind Fuel review below.

Primal Mind Fuel First Impressions

I really like the Primal Harvest website and I especially appreciate the fact that website visitors can figure out which of the brand’s supplements will suit them best by taking a quiz.

Everything looks sleek, there’s a wide range of informative content (including the blog), and there are a number of impressive-looking products.

Looking at Primal Mind Fuel, I like the branding, I like the amount of information about the supplement and the ingredients within it, and I appreciate video testimonials.

However, I’m always a little concerned when I review capsule supplements that they won’t contain sufficiently dosed ingredients. So, we’ll have to take a closer look at it to see if it really works.

Background on Primal Harvest

Primal Harvest was founded in 2018 by Dan Harper in New York. The company provides natural supplements without synthetic ingredients or fillers that are supposed to provide natural solutions to ailments associated with modern living.

Although the Primal Mind Fuel capsules are popular, the best-selling supplements that the company produces are the Primal Collagen, Primal Greens, Primal Probiotics, and Primal Gut Restore.

Primal Mind Fuel Benefits

Primal Harvest claims that the Mind Fuel capsules will provide a wide range of benefits for the consumer, and actually shows which parts of the capsule provide which benefits.

The brand claims that the B vitamins within the formula will help support mental clarity, memory, and brain health, as well as promote higher energy levels and focus.

The Neurosmart Proprietary Blend within the formula is supposed to also support memory, cognitive function, clarity, and focus. However, since it contains adaptogens, it’s also supposed to help lower stress levels.

Primal Mind Fuel Ingredients

The Primal Mind Fuel formula contains 11 ingredients in total, aside from the ingredients that make up the capsule.

Although the main ingredients exist within a proprietary blend, the amount of each ingredient in this blend is shown, making it easy to work out the efficacy of the formula.

However, I’ll be taking a look at the efficacy of the capsules later in this review!

First, let’s take a look at the ingredients that make up this supplement!

Here is the complete list of the Primal Mind Fuel ingredients:

  • CogniPlex B-Vitamins:
  • Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxin HCI) – 10mg
  • Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) – 6mcg
  • Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) – 2.5mg
  • NeuroSmart Proprietary Blend:
  • Caffeine Anhydeous – 110mg
  • L-Ornithine HCI – 100mg
  • L-Tyrosine – 100mg
  • Theobromine – 1mg
  • Rhodiola Rosea Extract – 1mg
  • Bacopa Monnieri Extract – 1mg
  • D-Glucuronolactone – 1mg
  • Huperzine A – 0.05mg
  • Other Ingredients –Rice Flour, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, and/or Microcrystalline Cellulose and Gelatin.

Here is the supplement facts label:

How does Primal Mind Fuel Taste?

Since Primal Mind Fuel is a capsule supplement there is no taste associated with the supplement – just make sure that you swallow the capsule before it dissolves in your mouth.

Side Effects

There are no side effects associated with the Primal Mind Fuel capsules. However, the brand does suggest that if you have a pre-existing condition, take prescription medications, or have any medical concerns, you should consult a doctor before consumption.

The brand also adds that if you are pregnant or breastfeeding you should consult a doctor before consuming this supplement.

Does Primal Mind Fuel Work?

Although Primal Mind Fuel does contain a proprietary blend, the ingredients label does show the amount of each ingredient within the blend.

This is extremely useful when it comes to working out the efficacy of the formula because we can compare the recommended dose of the ingredient to the amount within the formula.

Firstly, it’s clear that the B vitamins within the capsules are sufficiently dosed since they all equate to more than 100% of the daily value.

However, the same can’t be said for the ingredients within the proprietary blend.

People may benefit from the B vitamins in the formula but the other ingredients are very, very likely not to provide any benefits.

So, let’s take a look at a selection of the ingredients within the blend and compare them to their standard recommended doses!

The recommended dose of L-Tyrosine sits between 150 – 400mg, and since there’s only 100mg of it within the formula, it’s just underdosed.

However, the rest of the ingredients within the formula are severely underdosed.

The recommended dose of theobromine is between 50-1,000 mg and there’s only 1mg of this in the formula.

The recommended dose of Rhodiola Rosea is 200–600 mg and again, there’s only 1mg of this in the formula.

The recommended dose of Bacopa Monnieri is 300 mg and there’s only 1mg within the formula.

Therefore, it’s clear that apart from the B vitamins in the formula, the other ingredients are insufficiently dosed.

At 1mg each, there’s not even really much point in these ingredients being in this formula.

Overall, people may benefit from the B vitamins in the formula but the other ingredients are very, very likely not to provide many benefits.

Primal Mind Fuel Reviews

Although there are a number of customer reviews on the Primal Harvest website, they may be biased.

However, since Primal Mind Fuel is available on Amazon, we can take a look on there to see customer reviews that are honest and unbiased.

Overall, the supplement 3.9 scores a rating of out of 5 stars, and there are 64 ratings in total.

So, let’s take a look at some of these reviews!

Arrived quickly; however, hadn't started taking it yet, but looks as described….so far, so good.5-star review

Still waiting for the results….4-star review

I started taking this to help with Chemo brain and have seen no improvement, Focused factor has helped.1-star review

Money-Back Guarantee / Returns Policy

Where to buy Primal Mind Fuel?

You can buy Primal Mind Fuel from the Primal Harvest website and from Amazon.

Is It Worth The Price?

Primal Harvest offers different bundles – you can either purchase one bottle of Primal Mind Fuel, three bottles, or six bottles.

Each bottle contains 30 capsules and with a serving size of 1 capsule, this means each bottle contains 30 servings.

One bottle of Primal Mind Fuel costs $29.95, therefore the cost per serving works out at just below $1.00.

If you buy three bottles of Primal Mind Fuel, each bottle will cost $25.95. Therefore, the cost per serving works out at $0.87.

If you buy six bottles of Primal Mind Fuel, each bottle will cost $21.95. Therefore, the cost per serving works out at $0.73.

Although the formula seems cheap, I’m not sure if it’s worth the price that it’s sold at if you only buy one bottle, since the majority of the ingredients within the formula are not sufficiently dosed.

My Final Verdict

Although I felt quite drawn to the Primal Harvest brand and liked the look of Primal Mind Fuel at first glance, I wouldn’t recommend these capsules.

Clearly, the formula contains a substantial dose of three essential B vitamins, which is great.

However, the other ingredients within the formula are not only insufficiently dosed, but there’s not much point in them being there since most of them have a weighting of 1mg.

Therefore, although this supplement is fairly cheap, I wouldn’t recommend consuming it if you’re looking for a supplement that greatly improves and supports cognitive function.

If you are looking for a formula that will definitely contain sufficiently dosed ingredients and therefore provide cognitive function benefits, I would suggest you look elsewhere.

  1. Hello – I am looking for a supplement to help me with fatigue, anxiety, depression and focus. I’d also likely want to give it to my parents who are getting older to help their overall health including mental health. Thanks

  2. Hi Adam,
    I was really looking for something for cognitive boost, but I read about your SuperGreen Tonik which says it helps with sleep and anxiety as well. My question is will the SuperGreen Tonik be as effective at improving memory and cognitive clarity as the Primal Mind Fuel? Should I take them both?
    Thanks.

    1. Hey Darla,
      Thanks for your comment. Supergreen Tonik is more body + mind supplement, whereas Mind Lab Pro/Primal Mind Fuel is more for the mind. The brain nutrients in Supergreen Tonik can help memory + cognitive ability + longer term brain health too.
      It may be better to take just one supplement at a time and see the impact of these, as taking both may be too much and not provide additional cognitive benefits.
      Adam

  3. Is there one you recommend? Currently suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome and not getting much support from doctors on treatment.

    1. Hey Allison,
      If you’re looking for just a brain/nootropic supplement then Mind Lab Pro is worth looking at.
      I have suffered from CFS and is the reason why I developed Supergreen Tonik. You can take a look at this review on my site to see if this would be a good fit for you.
      Reach out if you have any questions.
      Adam

  4. Hello,

    I appreciate your review on primal mind fuel and it halted me from purchasing some brain boost/memory supplements. I appreciate that you give some dosage amounts to some of the ingredients in order to be effective. Do you have any recommendations on one with appropriate ingredient doses (and that hopefully doesn’t break the bank)?
