Most brain supplements come in a hard-to-swallow pill, and were designed for people who feel like something is already wrong. Sharp Brain Chews are different.
Each chew delivers 250 mg of Cognizin® Citicoline, the clinically studied form of citicoline backed by 16+ years of published research, plus 500 mg of Organic Lion’s Mane and a B-vitamin complex (B3, B9, B12). All in a delicious caramel apple soft chew you’ll actually look forward to taking. No pills. No caffeine. No crash.*

† Prevagen uses a vegetable cellulose (hypromellose) capsule but contains milk- and soy-derived peptones from its manufacturing process; it is not vegan or dairy-free.
Round 1
Pill-Free vs. Pill-Heavy
This is the most obvious difference, and for a lot of people, the most important one.
Prevagen and Neuriva are capsules. Focus Factor is a tablet, and not just one: the standard serving is four tablets a day, up to eight. Sharp Brain is two soft chews. Caramel apple. Done.
For adults who don’t love pills (or who flat-out avoid them), this matters. A pill can feel like medicine, and medicine can feel like a problem. A chew you actually enjoy? That’s a daily ritual you’ll keep.
2 soft chews a day, caramel apple flavor.
1 capsule a day to swallow.
4 to 8 tablets a day. With food. Every day.
Round 2
What’s Actually In It
Format matters. So does formula. This is where the differences get real.
Sharp Brain Chews
Built on Cognizin® Citicoline, the most clinically-researched form of citicoline. It’s patented, produced through a proprietary fermentation process, and backed by 16+ years of published clinical research in healthy adults. We don’t use a generic version. We use the one that’s been studied. Every chew delivers 250 mg, the clinically studied daily dose for focus, attention, and accuracy.*
Paired with 500 mg of Organic Lion’s Mane, a revered nootropic mushroom used for centuries to support cognitive health, plus essential B-vitamins (B3, B9, B12) to support healthy brain function and cellular energy.*
Prevagen
Prevagen is built around a single proprietary ingredient: apoaequorin, a protein originally discovered in jellyfish and now produced as a recombinant protein in a laboratory fermentation process, plus vitamin D. That’s the entire formula. No citicoline. No Lion’s Mane. No B-vitamins.
Neuriva
Neuriva’s original formula pairs two actives: a whole coffee-fruit extract (Neurofactor) and phosphatidylserine, 100 mg each. The Plus version adds B-vitamins. It’s decaffeinated, vegetarian, and GMO-free, but it’s still a capsule. And it doesn’t contain citicoline or Lion’s Mane.
Focus Factor
Focus Factor takes the everything-in-the-cabinet approach: a big multivitamin-style blend that also doubles as a daily multi, with phosphatidylserine, bacopa, DMAE, and a long supporting cast. The catch? Serving size: four tablets a day, up to eight. And the formula includes fish oil, which means it isn’t vegetarian.

The Stuff You Don’t Want In Your Brain Supplement
The headline ingredients matter. But so does everything else: what’s in there besides the actives, what’s left out, and who can actually take it.
Only 2 g sugar
per serving.
Just a touch, for taste.
Caffeine-free.
No jitters.
No 3 p.m. crash.
No artificial
colors or flavors.
Gluten-free
and vegetarian.
Focus Factor isn’t vegetarian
(it contains fish oil). Prevagen uses a vegetable capsule, but contains milk and soy derivatives from its manufacturing process.
Round 4
Built For You,
Not Against You
Built For You,
Not Against You
A lot of brain supplements sell you on what you’re afraid of. The fear of decline. The worry about losing it. We don’t do that.
Sharp Brain is for the adults who want to stay sharp and feel good about taking care of themselves. The busy professionals who need real focus. The 50+ readers, learners, problem-solvers, and grandparents who plan on being mentally sharp for a long, long time. It’s a daily ritual you’ll actually look forward to, not one more pill bottle in the medicine cabinet.*
Sharp Brain Chews
Made with Cognizin® Citicoline and Lion's Mane. Support your memory, focus, mental energy, processing speed, and long-term brain health with a delicious soft chew you'll look forward to taking daily.*

Prevagen, Neuriva, and Focus Factor are recognizable brands with their own audiences. But every one of them asks you to take a pill, and each is built on a different formula philosophy than Sharp Brain.

Frequently Asked
Questions
How is Sharp Brain different from Prevagen?
Prevagen is a once-daily capsule built around apoaequorin plus vitamin D. Sharp Brain Chews are caramel apple soft chews built around clinically studied Cognizin® Citicoline and Organic Lion’s Mane, plus a B-vitamin complex. Different formula. Different format. No pill required.*
Is Sharp Brain caffeine-free?
Yes. Zero caffeine. So you get the mental clarity without the jitters or the afternoon crash.*
How many do I take a day?
Two soft chews. One in the morning, one in the afternoon. That’s the routine. Compare that to Prevagen and Neuriva (one capsule daily) or Focus Factor (four to eight tablets daily). Big difference.
Is Sharp Brain vegetarian and gluten-free?
Yes to both. Plus no artificial colors or flavors, and just 2 g of sugar per serving. (For comparison, Focus Factor contains fish oil and isn’t vegetarian.)
How long before I notice results?
Everyone’s different. Clinical studies on Cognizin® Citicoline show that consistent daily use supports cognitive function over time.* We recommend taking Sharp Brain Chews daily for at least 30 to 60 days for the best support. Consistency is the key.
