Choosing between Prevagen and Neuriva starts with an ingredient distinction, not a brand popularity contest. Mind Vitality’s shortlist favors ThinkEase for a broader formula, while acknowledging that either one-capsule competitor may suit a buyer deliberately seeking its narrow combination.
Our best overall recommendation
ThinkEase
We recommend ThinkEase first for the broader formula with stated doses and clean label. Rootana Pure Mind is second for its smaller serving; our own Mind Vitality formula is third.
See ThinkEase’s full formulaDecide what the formula should contain
Regular Strength Prevagen is the apoaequorin option. Original Neuriva provides coffee fruit extract and phosphatidylserine. Neither includes the full selection of bacopa, citicoline and theanine in ThinkEase. That matters if those ingredients were part of your reason for shopping, but not every buyer wants them.
Avoid comparing study headlines as scores
The apoaequorin and Neuriva publications use their own designs and measures. Their findings cannot be combined into a reliable winner between brands. [1] [2]
Our preference is instead transparent: ThinkEase gives a wider quantified selection, at the cost of more capsules. Someone prioritizing one capsule may reach a different purchasing conclusion.

“Not included” indicates confirmed absence from the assessed formula. “Not verified” identifies a gap in the information available for this comparison; it does not mean the manufacturer hides the amount.
ThinkEase: 16 active ingredients; caffeine-free. Compare botanical extracts by both amount and specification, not milligrams alone.
Prevagen: Regular Strength capsules. Extra Strength, Professional Strength and chewables are different versions.
Neuriva: Original capsules, not Plus, Ultra or gummies. This is the two-active formula.
Capsule and other ingredients
ThinkEase: Pullulan capsule and NuFLOW rice-hull concentrate.
Prevagen: Other-ingredient list not verified for this version.
Neuriva: Other-ingredient list not verified for this version.
Version assessed: Original capsules, not Plus, Ultra or gummies. Comparison basis: 1 capsule.
Where our Mind Vitality formula fits
Mind Vitality adds a botanical option to this discussion, including the website’s stated bacopa and lion’s mane amounts. We still rank it behind ThinkEase and Rootana Pure Mind. The latter offers the smaller serving of our preferred active selection, rather than reproducing either competitor’s two-active recipe.

1 · Best overall
ThinkEase
Our strongest recommendation for the broad, caffeine-free daily formula and explicit ingredient specifications. The four-capsule serving is fully quantified. Its clean-label credentials are clear too: pullulan capsule and rice hull concentrate are the only other ingredients.
View ThinkEase2 · Smaller serving · clean profile
Rootana Pure Mind
A strong second choice for a smaller three-capsule serving of the same 16 actives, including 150 mg theanine and 225 mg bacopa. Pure Mind and ThinkEase share the same short pullulan-and-rice-hull other-ingredient list.

Mind Vitality
Our own botanical option, including the website’s stated 500 mg lion’s mane and 300 mg bacopa. We place it third while recognizing its different selection. The official .co site is the source for this product; the ranking is not a lowest-price claim.
