Introduction
This product claims to be america’s #1 selling brain pill.. if only we had a dollar for every time we’ve read that. We’re told this “scientifically formulated” nootropic is capable of some pretty awesome effects, so we decided to take an in-depth look for ourselves.
In this Excelerol review, we’re analyzing the formula and establishing what we believe consumers can and cannot expect.

What Is Excelerol?
Excelerol is an over-the-counter nootropic supplement produced by a US-based nutrition company named Accelerated Intelligence Inc. This product is claimed to be America’s best selling brain pill. We are also told that it’s a “#1 doctor recommended brand” – Excelerol is personally endorsed by a physician named Dr Eric Wood ND.
You can buy this nootropic from the official Excelerol website, Amazon and eBay. We could not locate this product stocked in stores.
One pack of Excelerol contains 96 capsules costs $75 and will last users approximately 48 days based on the set directions of two capsules per day.
If you’re looking to buy Excelerol, you should be aware that ordering via the official website will automatically enroll you into a monthly subscription which will continue to bill you until you cancel. The only place to purchase the product as a one-off is Amazon.
Consumers are promised Exelerol contains a “clinically tested” formulation that will produce effects such as improved memory levels and improved energy, focus and concentration.
Does Excelerol Work?
Based on our research into this product, we do not believe it will function as described.
When investigating the formulation, we could find no FDA or EFSA approved nootropic ingredients. Furthermore, when looking at the supporting clinical evidence we found nothing concrete (hence why no ingredient inside Exelercol has been approved by the FDA for cognitive enhancement).
For a self-proclaimed “clinically tested” nootropic, the actual clinical results are somewhat underwhelming and essentially conclude that the product is likely ineffective for a large portion of consumers.
While there are some useful compounds inside Excelerol for improving your energy levels and alertness, the effects will pretty much stop there – it is highly unlikely that users will experience improved memory levels, faster recall abilities and faster cognitive function in general.

Let me just say! A product like this really can change your life. I suffer from adult ADD and this stuff really helps to restore my focus and balance in my life without withdrawal symptoms or feeling like I’m putting foreign chemicals in my body.
This table did not work for me. It gave me headache. Hope it worked for someone else.

Our Final Verdict On Excelerol
To conclude our Excelerol review, it’s a bit of a mixed bag – there are things that we like about it and things that we aren’t too blown away by. It’s not the worst nootropic stack we’ve ever seen, but it’s by no means the best.
For a product that claims to be America’s best selling brain pill (note: no sales figures are provided to back this up) the formula doesn’t seem too cutting-edge. Excelerol’s formula seems to rely heavily on stimulants for most of the cognitive enhancement effects, which means there are potentially negative side effects.
We dispute the claims that this product can help boost your memory/recall abilities and improve thought processing speeds – there is just a total lack of evidence, the FDA agrees with us.
If you’re willing to pay the high price that Exelerol costs, you’re likely better off just opting for a more advanced nootropic in general. In our opinion, this product is all style and no substance.
