Have any of you guys tried these fairly new "Neuro" drinks? I like them, they taste good and seem to kinda work OK.. What do you guys think? The ingredients actually look legit, i just don't know if the amount of each ingredient is enough to actually work...

OMG! I love neuro drinks! The orange one helps me sleep. I think it has melatonin in it. I also like the one call daily. It taste amazing (tangerine citrus flavored) and keeps me from getting sick

Something about it bothers me.
When you visit their website and look at the ingredients for something like the Sleep one, it says things like this for melatonin:
"is an ingredient universally found in plants and foods, including corn, rice, wheat, barley, oats, wine and beer.1 melatonin is also naturally produced in the body to help regulate the sleep cycle."
It seems kind of disingenuous to compare a pure melatonin additive to its minuscule presence in foods and drinks. Taking a Neuro Drink is not the same as eating food but they are attempting to draw a correlation there.
Personally I would not buy these, mostly because they are gimmicky and too generalized. Making one concoction for "sleep" is not going to address all the reasons why millions of people have insomnia. If you're ignoring diet, not exercising, are doing drugs a lot, then the marketing of this might delude you into thinking your sleep will improve if you just buy their drink.

I found an article that might be useful as to the consumption of the neuro drinks:
http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v15/n4/full/nn0412-497.html
The article is from 2012 but this gives information that we should all be careful about consuming these drinks, potential dangers or what not. I personally have not tried these drinks and would probably not try them.

I have to say, drinks are usually much more expensive than buying otc sleep pills with melatonin, gaba, valerian, chamomille and all that stuff.
pop a pill and then enjoy whatever drink you like, no need for such drinks imo.
they are creating good stuff though.

the neuro sleep helped when i was coming off benzos, havent touched it since, not into artificial crap anymore
neuro did have some black water that was kind of cool
expensive but different
had a few of their other drinks didnt care much for them, esp the ones with carbonation

I metioned it before on here somewhere, there's a drink called "lean" that has valerian and melatonin as it's main ingredients, and drinking one really feels like taking a low-dose benzo to me. They contain well known supplements. I wouldn't make it habit of drinking them all the time but if it helps you sleep once in a while, I don't see the big deal. Melatonin is kind of strange one though, it'd definitely not a natural herb. I personally feel more comfortable drinking some of the herbal tea sleep blends.

Its 90% placebo but there is some mild benefits with a few of these.

^ this.... my guess is they are probably not that bad or that good for you just expensive flavored water for the most part
Well the only two that I drink/buy (and usually the ONLY two i can find anywhere around me) are the Neuro Bliss and Neuro Sleep.. The Neuro Bliss is by far the best and most effective one and therefore my favorite. The ingredients are legit and until i can go buy some more L-theanine and this other stuff like Alpha-GPC and this phosphatidylserine stuff that is in the Neuro: Bliss I will continue to drink it.. I usually like to have one (Bliss) in the morning when I wake up or around later afternoon.. But the combo of L-thenanine, alpha-GPC and phosphatidylserine actually makes sense and made me look into buying some alpha-gpc pills and phosphatidylserine pills to mix with some l-theanine pills... but buying all 3 of those ingredients can be expensive too but at least I will then be able to dose each ingredient in exact doses that work best that i will find out through the "trial and error" method.

Yep. Must be placebo, cuz when I drink them I do feel as if i'm affected by them. Particularly neuro sonic/passion and sleep.
1/3 of a sleep bottle helps me sleep really well, and 1/2 a bottle of sonic/passion improves my diligence and focus.
Bliss is my least favourite as it makes me yawn and dozey... probably in part due to chamomile and 5-htp.
Neuro sun was aiight when I tried it one day after a gloomy couple of weeks in winter, the vitamin D made a difference.
But like I said, it was all probably placebo...
