Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is a tree native to Asia and is known for its distinctive fan-shaped leaves. The extract of the ginkgo leaf is commonly used in traditional medicine and is one of the most popular dietary supplements consumed worldwide. Its most common use is to help improve memory and cognitive function.

St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a plant native to Europe and is known for its medicinal properties. St. John's wort has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. It is one of the most extensively used and researched natural medicines in the world, and is thought to work similarly to certain conventional antidepressants by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain.

L-glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body, produced primarily in skeletal muscle and then released into circulation. It serves vital roles in various tissues, including the immune system, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and liver, where it supports essential functions such as maintaining intestinal integrity, immune response, and amino acid balance. Although traditionally classified as a non-essential amino acid, during periods of severe stress, glutamine becomes conditionally essential due to the body's increased demand. It acts as a critical nitrogen and carbon transporter between organs, and while the intestinal mucosa can synthesize glutamine, this production is insufficient during times of significant physiological stress. Dietary supplements generally contain L-glutamine as it is the biologically active form of the amino acid.

Deanol, also known as 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol or DMAE, is a chemical compound that is found naturally in the brain and is also available as a dietary supplement. It is purported to have a number of potential health benefits, including cognitive and mood-enhancing effects. Deanol is a precursor to choline and is thought to work by increasing the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in memory, learning, and other cognitive functions. It is most often used as a natural remedy for anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions, although it is important to note that the effectiveness of deanol for these purposes has not been established.

Bacopa (Bacopa monnieri) is a perennial herb that is native to India and other parts of Southeast Asia. Bacopa has small, white or blue flowers and is commonly found in wetland areas. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, bacopa is believed to have a number of health benefits, including the ability to improve memory and cognitive function, reduce anxiety and stress, and improve symptoms of ADHD. It is also thought to have potential benefits for people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Bacopa dietary supplements are often marketed for 'cognitive support'.

Vinpocetine is a synthetic compound that is derived from the alkaloid vincamine, which is found in the periwinkle plant (Vinca minor). It is used as a dietary supplement and is claimed to have a number of potential health benefits, including improving memory and cognitive function, increasing blood flow to the brain, and reducing inflammation. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in 2019, issued a warning that those who are pregnant or who could become pregnant should avoid vinpocetine due to safety concerns.
