Eu Yan Sang BrainMAX+ falls short.
Eu Yan Sang BrainMAX+ is a premium brain health supplement from Southeast Asia's most trusted Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) brand, with 200+ retail stores across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Australia. Uses Cera-Q, a silk fibroin protein with one citable 3-week memory trial by maker-affiliated authors, combined with Goji Berry and Chinese Wild Ginseng. Priced at S$69.90 for a 30-sachet box (reduced from the S$89.90 RSP; about US$54.71) on euyansang.com.sg, checked 2026-09-29. Available in-store and online, with same-day courier delivery to Singapore addresses for orders placed before the cut-off (euyansang.com.sg delivery FAQ, checked 2026-09-29). Delivery outside Singapore was not confirmed in that check -- confirm at checkout.
What it does
Eu Yan Sang is a 145-year-old Traditional Chinese Medicine company founded in 1879, with over 200 retail locations across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau, and Australia. BrainMAX+ is their modern cognitive health line, featuring Cera-Q — a silk fibroin protein extract with one citable 3-week trial in healthy adults averaging about 55 (Kang 2018, maker-affiliated authors) showing higher memory-test scores at 400–600mg/day (the trial tested 280–600mg). The formula bridges TCM tradition (Goji Berry, Chinese Wild Ginseng) with modern clinical ingredients. For SEA buyers, Eu Yan Sang offers unmatched trust and accessibility: walk into any Eu Yan Sang store in Singapore or Malaysia, or order online for same-day delivery within Singapore (orders before the cut-off). We could not confirm delivery terms outside Singapore in our 2026-09-29 check of the storefront's delivery FAQ -- confirm at checkout.
How it works
Cera-Q (silk fibroin protein hydrolysate) has no established mechanism in human studies; the one 3-week trial we could cite reported dose-dependent gains on a memory quotient, learning gradient and recall measures at 400–600mg/day (the trial tested 280–600mg). Goji Berry extract provides antioxidant neuroprotection via zeaxanthin and betaine compounds. Chinese Wild Ginseng extract contains ginsenosides that modulate NMDA receptor activity and support cerebral blood flow. The formula combines modern peptide science with TCM botanical tradition.
What to expect
BrainMAX+ comes as powder sachets dissolved in water — a familiar format in Asian health culture. The one Cera-Q trial we could cite measured memory after 3 weeks; it did not measure mental clarity or onset. Weeks 4-8: cumulative memory and concentration benefits from the ginseng and goji combination. At S$69.90 per 30-sachet box (S$89.90 RSP) it is priced as a premium product, but the Eu Yan Sang brand carries deep trust across Chinese-heritage communities in Southeast Asia.

- Chinese Wild Ginseng37mg
Who it's for
- 145-year TCM heritage brand
- 200+ stores across SEA
- Cera-Q has a placebo-controlled memory trial (3 weeks, maker-affiliated)
Who should skip
- Korea's food regulator (MFDS) revoked Cera-Q's functional-ingredient recognition in November 2017 after its supporting mouse study was retracted for data fabrication (retraction notice: J Microbiol Biotechnol, Dec 2016); in Korea it is sold as a general food (per Yang & Chung 2026, Food Supplements and Biomaterials for Health, and Sisa Journal, Feb 2020). This does not affect its legal status in Singapore or the other Southeast Asian markets where BrainMAX+ is sold as a supplement.
- Cera-Q's evidence is one citable 3-week trial with maker-affiliated authors; an earlier supporting paper was retracted
- Premium price (S$69.90, ~US$54.71/month)

No Trustpilot profile
Eu Yan Sang doesn't have an active Trustpilot listing — this is common for Amazon-only sellers, marketplace brands, and regional pharmacy chains.
The Trust pillar in our editorial score still applies and reflects brand reputation, third-party testing, and refund track record.
