CogniHoney Ingredients: Eleven Names, from Bacopa Monnieri to Green Tea Extract
CogniHoney lists eleven ingredients in its two-capsule daily serving: Himalayan pink salt, cinnamon extract, AGP choline, bacopa monnieri (20%), lutein (5%), bilberry leaf powder, vitamin B6, ginkgo biloba powder, vitamin B12, zeaxanthin (5%) and green tea extract (50%). Bacopa and AGP choline carry the memory research.
Below: every name as a card, the six in the photograph, what each is studied for, and the three safety notes.
The eleven CogniHoney ingredients, in label order
Each card gives the name as listed, what it does in plain words and the studies behind it; the tag sorts them into five groups.
Himalayan pink salt
MineralMostly sodium chloride, carrying small amounts of other minerals.
Evidence: Fayet-Moore 2020, the FDA's guide to sodium in your diet
Cinnamon extract
BotanicalStudied mainly for blood sugar rather than for memory.
Evidence: Allen 2013, NCCIH's cinnamon fact sheet
AGP choline
Memory researchAlpha-GPC, a choline source the body can use toward acetylcholine.
Evidence: Marcus 2017, the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheet on choline
Bacopa monnieri
Memory researchA traditional herb; the six trials in a 2012 systematic review all ran 12 weeks.
Evidence: Pase 2012, Kongkeaw 2014
Lutein
CarotenoidA carotenoid that gathers in the eye and is the main carotenoid in brain tissue.
Evidence: Hammond 2017, Renzi-Hammond 2017
Bilberry leaf powder
BotanicalThe leaf, not the berry, of the European blueberry relative.
Evidence: NCCIH's bilberry fact sheet
Vitamin B6
B vitaminA B vitamin used in making neurotransmitters, with a 100 mg daily upper limit.
Evidence: the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheet on vitamin B6, the Cochrane review of vitamin B6 and cognition
Ginkgo biloba powder
BotanicalTested in GEM: 3,069 adults aged 75 and over, followed for a median 6.1 years.
Evidence: the GEM trial of ginkgo and dementia, the GEM trial of ginkgo and cognitive decline
Vitamin B12
B vitaminA B vitamin needed for nerve function; metformin and acid reducers can lower it.
Evidence: the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheet on vitamin B12, the Cochrane review of vitamin B12 and cognition
Zeaxanthin
CarotenoidLutein's partner carotenoid, given alongside it in the cognition trials.
Evidence: the AREDS2 cognitive-function trial, the AREDS2 macular degeneration trial
Green tea extract
BotanicalGreen tea carries caffeine, and its catechins are the liver-safety question.
Evidence: Mancini 2017, the USP review of green tea extract and the liver
Six CogniHoney ingredients, photographed raw
The “Inside CogniHoney” photograph sets six of the eleven names around the bottle, each in its own gold frame, so a buyer can see what the raw ingredient looks like before it becomes a capsule:
- Himalayan pink salt
- AGP choline
- Lutein
- Cinnamon extract
- Bacopa monnieri
- Bilberry leaf powder
The other five complete the list: vitamin B6, ginkgo biloba powder, vitamin B12, zeaxanthin and green tea extract. Green tea extract carries the highest percentage on the whole list, 50%, and it is the one name that brings caffeine with it.
The strip along the foot reads 30 capsules, 11 named ingredients, dietary supplement: the three facts every figure on this website is built from.

Why the CogniHoney memory case starts with bacopa monnieri
Of the eleven, bacopa is the one whose reviewed memory trials found a benefit.
| Study | Who took part | How long | What was found |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pase 2012, systematic review | Six randomised trials, 300 to 450 mg of extract a day | 12 weeks, every trial | Bacopa improved 9 of the 17 memory free-recall tests reported |
| Kongkeaw 2014, meta-analysis | Nine trials, 518 people, standardised extract | 12 weeks or more | Faster Trail B and choice reaction time |
| Calabrese 2008, trial | 54 adults over 65 without dementia, 300 mg a day | 12 weeks | Better delayed word recall; stomach upset was the main side effect |
The three studies are Pase 2012, Kongkeaw 2014 and Calabrese 2008. Every figure above belongs to a study, not to the capsule. Effects on learning and memory were largest at twelve weeks (Stough 2001), which is why CogniHoney is best read as a twelve-week routine. The research-amounts table keeps what the studies used in a column of its own.
What the percentages on the CogniHoney list tell you
- Bacopa monnieri 20%
- Lutein 5%
- Zeaxanthin 5%
- Green tea extract 50%
Reading a percentage on an extract
A percentage beside an extract name is a standardisation figure: the share of the extract made up of a chosen marker compound, so that one batch matches the next. It shows the extract was made to a specification.
This desk prints each CogniHoney figure exactly the way the CogniHoney list gives it. Of the four, green tea extract’s 50% is the one worth a second look: a green tea extract is concentrated, and green tea extracts in capsule form are the ones linked, rarely, to liver injury (NCCIH green tea). More in what the listed percentages tell you.
CogniHoney ingredients against the research
What each has been studied for, who took part and what was found. The evidence is uneven, and the table shows it so.
| Name | Main research topic | Who was studied | What was found | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Himalayan pink salt | Mineral content | 31 pink salts, laboratory analysis | More than 30 g a day needed for the minerals to matter | Fayet-Moore 2020 |
| Cinnamon extract | Blood sugar | 543 people with type 2 diabetes, 10 trials | Lower fasting glucose; no significant change in A1c | Allen 2013 |
| AGP choline | Choline levels | 48 healthy college-aged men, 7 days | Raised serum free choline | Marcus 2017 |
| Bacopa monnieri | Memory | 6 trials, 12 weeks each | Improved 9 of 17 free-recall tests | Pase 2012 |
| Lutein | Cognition | 62 older adults; 51 adults aged 18 to 30 | Better complex attention; better spatial memory and reasoning | Hammond 2017; Renzi-Hammond 2017 |
| Bilberry leaf powder | Blood sugar, traditionally | Fact-sheet summary | Not clearly shown to help any condition | NCCIH |
| Vitamin B6 | Cognition and mood | 109 healthy older people, 2 trials | No short-term benefit | Cochrane 2003 |
| Ginkgo biloba powder | Dementia and decline | 3,069 adults aged 75+, 6.1 years | No reduction in dementia; decline not slowed | GEM 2008; GEM 2009 |
| Vitamin B12 | Cognition | People with dementia and low B12, 2 trials | No significant effect | Cochrane 2003 |
| Zeaxanthin | Cognition, with lutein | 3,501 older adults with macular degeneration | No effect on cognitive function over 5 years | AREDS2 2015 |
| Green tea extract | Memory, attention, mood | 21 studies reviewed | Effects with caffeine and L-theanine together | Mancini 2017 |
Populations matter: GEM and AREDS2 enrolled older adults. None of these studies tested CogniHoney itself.
Three CogniHoney ingredients with a safety note
Most of the list is familiar food and vitamin territory. Three names carry a note.
Ginkgo and blood thinners
Ginkgo may add to the bleeding risk of anticoagulants such as warfarin (NCCIH ginkgo). Anyone on a blood thinner should clear CogniHoney with the prescriber first.
Green tea, caffeine and timing
Green tea brings caffeine, and the USP’s cautionary wording for green tea extract is to take it with food (USP review). The label direction is 30 to 60 minutes before the largest meal; both are set side by side on the safety page.
Cinnamon, bilberry leaf and diabetes medicine
Cinnamon lowered fasting glucose in trials of people with type 2 diabetes (Allen 2013). With bilberry leaf beside it, the list points the same way as glucose-lowering medicine.
CogniHoney ingredient questions
Which CogniHoney ingredient matters most for memory?
Bacopa monnieri, listed at 20%. It is the one name on the list whose reviewed memory trials found a benefit: six trials of twelve weeks each in a 2012 systematic review (Pase 2012), and nine trials with 518 people in a 2014 meta-analysis (Kongkeaw 2014). AGP choline and lutein follow, each with smaller single trials of its own.
Is AGP choline the same thing as alpha-GPC?
Yes. AGP choline is the list’s name for L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine, usually shortened to alpha-GPC. It is a choline source the body can use toward acetylcholine. The Office of Dietary Supplements puts the adult upper limit for choline at 3,500 mg a day (ODS choline fact sheet).
Does CogniHoney contain caffeine?
Why is Himalayan pink salt on a memory supplement list?
Pink salt is mostly sodium chloride with small amounts of other minerals, and an analysis of 31 pink salts found that more than 30 g a day would be needed before those minerals contributed meaningfully, far past a sensible sodium intake (Fayet-Moore 2020). Read it as salt, not as a mineral supplement.
How this CogniHoney ingredient page is written
Four things a sceptical reader can check in ten minutes:
- Each fact names its source. The capsule count and the three claims are printed on the bottle front. The eleven names come from the CogniHoney ingredient list and the product photographs, and the serving from the label directions. Prices and the guarantee are CogniHoney’s own terms, as listed on 21 September 2026.
- Research amounts live in a column of their own, headed “What published research used”, beside a column that says what the list gives. No sentence here moves a number from the first into the second.
- Every study is cited against its own population. A trial in older adults, or in people with a diagnosis, is described as exactly that.
- Corrections change the date. Write to contact@Cogniqhoney.com and the review date moves forward.
We earn when you buy. Cogniqhoney is the USA Authorized CogniHoney Retailer named at the top of this page and this website makes money on orders placed through it.
