If you’re just tuning in, be sure to check out my review of E3Live. And a huge thank you to the folks at www.E3Live.com for sponsoring this review (and upcoming contest)!!!
Note: E3Live sent me samples, but I have not been paid to write this review. The thoughts I share in this post are my honest opinions.
I decided to use E3Live on its own, without mixing things up with BrainOn. I wanted to listen to my body and be absolutely sure how I felt taking each product. So now that you’ve read my thoughts on E3Live, it’s time to learn about BrainOn….
From Klamath Lake
The blue-green algae found in BrainOn comes from a lake in Oregon.
“Upper Klamath Lake is free of adverse bacteria, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. The lake receives an average 300 days of sunlight per year which provides a perfect growing environment for the world’s richest strain of wild AFA blue-green algae, scientifically known as Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. The alkaline lake water provides more than 60 times the nutrients needed for the algae to grow to its full potential each year. Under the right conditions, AFA algae can reproduce every 20 minutes, which provides a plentiful abundance of this organic, high life-force, miracle super food.”– www.E3Live.com
Brain Power
It’s kind of crazy to think you can actually absorb brain power from a serving of blue-green algae each day, isn’t it? But when you think about it, you’ll realize that for decades people have been stuffing their faces with overcooked, sodium and chemical-filled foods that are lacking nutrition. When our body lacks the nutrients it’s crying out for, our brains lack as well.
We have to remember that our brains need to be nourished in order to work like we want them to. Want to remember where you put your keys? Your anniversary? Answers to a test you studied days or weeks for? Do you desire to have the mental clarity and focus you used to have? Tired of feeling foggy and forgetful? Feed your brain!
Learn why you can nourish your brain cells with BrainOn…
From the site:
“E3Live BrainOn® contains the active ingredient in wild-harvested AFA that both promotes mood balance and enhances focus. In fact, no other product competes with BrainON® in terms of promoting joyfulness and brain clarity benefits with no side effects. BrainON® improves health. It’s good for you!
PEA was found to be significantly lower in subjects with Attention Deficit Disorder. People taking BrainON® with Phenalmin report better attention at school and at work. BrainON is for anyone who wishes to balance mood and to increase concentration. One of our most beloved products, E3Live BrainOn® helps you to enjoyably function at a higher level.”
Wow.
Pretty cool, huh?!
Depression
My shipment of E3Live samples actually arrived while I was out of town at my 28-year-old cousin’s funeral. She was like a little sister to me. She lost her life on impact in a car accident. Not only that, she was one of 3 cousins I lost in just a matter of a couple of months. One of the other cousins I wasn’t close to, but one of them I was. I went to school with him and always felt closer to him than other relatives.
Words can’t express what a difficult, trying, stressful, devastating time it was to know that 3 young people (ages 28, 32, and 36) were no longer here on this beautiful earth – or in my family. No more cards, letters, hugs, or smiles.
Those of you who follow this blog regularly know that I’m all about inspiring, motivating, uplifting, and happy thoughts. So my intentions of sharing this with you is not to make you feel depressed, but to prove a point: Both BrainOn and E3Live’s Original Formula helped me tremendously through these hard times I’m telling you about. I know that I was able to find energy, strength, and mental clarity that would have been much harder to drudge up without chugging a shot of E3Live or BrainOn each day.
“I’ve had people who’ve been depressed for years and years, and literally, within a few days after receiving AFA their depression lifts.”
“A wonderful and unique blend for peak performance of body, mind, and spirit that should be included in any detoxification and rejuvenation program. I take it myself daily.” — Dr. Gabriel Cousens,Director of Tree of Life of Life Rejuvenation Center
I did suffer depression after such family tragedy. Yes, Raw Juice Girl was depressed. I couldn’t sleep, fell off the 100% raw food wagon, ate the wrong foods… I was a mess! But I was able to bounce back a lot quicker because of BrainOn.
I also took a short break from freelance assignments but was able to come back full force and write even more than before. I’m convinced it’s mostly because of this company’s blue-green algae. Convinced.
What’s In BrainOn?
I know you’re wondering what exactly is in BrainOn to make it so fantabulous, right?
Nutritional information (from the site):
Supplement Facts: Protein <1g; Trans Fat 0g; Vitamin A 1890 IU 38% daily value; Vitamin K 34 mcg 43% daily value; Riboflavin 49 mcg 3% daily value; Vitamin B1 27 mcg 117% daily value.
Ingredients: Organic, fresh-frozen AFA (Aphanizomenon flos aquae) with BrainON®, a concentrated organic AFA extract of Phenylethylamine (PEA).
That’s some awesome nutrition for our brains!
Pros
I’d definitely agree with the brain enhancing, mood lifting powers of BrainOn. As I mentioned above, it helped me through some very troublesome times, and as you know, I’ve managed to continue writing with enthusiasm and mental clarity.
From the site:
- All the benefits of E3Live, plus:
- Increase focus and clarity
- Lift and brighten mood with the PEA, the “love molecule”
- Lower stress and enhance well-being
- Function at a higher level
- Shown to increase concentration
I do agree with this list provided on E3Live’s website because I felt the same benefits personally when I took the supplement.
Cons
As I mentioned in my E3Live review, the biggest two cons I can think of from purchasing BrainOn is cost and taste (for some of you). Those of you who follow me know that I can pretty much chug down anything without it phasing me because I’m used to drinking potent herbal tonics, strong herbal teas, and other natural remedies (like organic apple cider vinegar with Mother). But I realize not everyone is accustomed to the taste of green. I find E3Live and BrainOn actually taste mild, so you may not have a problem taking it straight up. If you do, simply add it to smoothies, juices, or other recipes to disguise the taste.
And about the cost… One of my readers mentioned finding a couple of friends to split the supplement and shipping cost with so you can enjoy this wonderful blue-green algae. I think that’s a great idea!
Other than those two issues, I honestly can’t imagine anything bad about enhancing your heath.
Tip: Preparing your daily dose for the upcoming week is quick and simple. I gave step-by-step instructions (with a photo) in my E3Live review.
Verdict/Grade
I know this is a costly supplement for a lot of people, but I can honestly tell you it is a worthwhile investment. If there’s a way you can readjust your budget and put your health before other expenses, I’d definitely recommend spending your money on this product.
For the results I’ve personally experienced from using BrainOn, I absolutely give it an A+ because I definitely came through (and out of) depressing, trying times much better than I would have on my own, without E3Live and BrainOn.

M – I know the words “I’m so sorry” may be of little comfort now, but please know I’m thinking about you and sending you warm, healing thoughts.
It’s because of you I went to a health store yesterday where a friend works and bought E3 Live. Yes, it’s a tough swallow for me (my upcoming blog post shows The Creature From the Black Lagoon if that gives you any idea), but I’m hanging in there. I was just going to throw it in my smoothie but the guy who works there said you should hold it (pure) in your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing to really let it get into your system as quickly as possible. I sorta think “If it’s in, it’s in” but I’m trying it his way. I may cut it with Lemon/Ginger juice if it gets too gaggy.
Can’t wait to hear about your contest as it is crazy expensive.
Big hugs from Seattle,
T

Thank you, Tiffany. Yes, it is comfort. Thankfully, some time has passed and I can talk about this without bursting into tears. Unexplainable, sad things happen in life. It’s something we all have to deal with. I’m sure you’ve had trials, too. My faith and family have helped me tremendously. Raw juices, healthy foods, and superfoods (like E3Live) help, too. But support even from online friends like you is wonderful as well. It’s nice to know that people all over the world can send heartfelt thoughts and/or prayers our way, isn’t it?! I think so!
Now, go get yourself entered in my contest. It’s live now!!

I have not actually tried the BrainOn version of E3Live yet. I’m wondering if perhaps this is just what I need to get that little writing boost you keep trying to encourage me to! lol
hmm… Yep. I think that will be it. I’m going to put this on the top of my list for this week!

I just bought a bottle of brain-on, I am experimenting with it for the next 30 days. I mix it in with my fresh green juice, cant notice the taste at all

I’d love to try this–with all the dark months coming, I need anything to brighten my mood!

I want to win this so I can donate it to a friend who cannot afford this, and is in real need of this exact health support. I know it’s helped me, so I know it will help her.

as always, your honesty and openness is beautiful. how perfect that the shipment arrived just when you needed it the most. it seems just like you to take that impossible situation and turn it into this wonderful opportunity to share your journey. i am intrigued by this BrainOn…especially with the wintery times approaching. i used to live very near klamath lake – central oregon is a very sunny and scenic area. would be nice to channel the beauty of that area via supplement
[Reply]
Thanks so much for your kind words, Mika. I appreciate ‘em!
Yes, it was a miracle that they arrived when they did!!
I’m glad you enjoyed my story, and were blessed by it.
Wow. You lived near Klamath Lake? Cool! Must be beautiful. Your description is lovely.
Hugs,
Michele

I. So. Need this.
I will be 40 years old in just five days. I’ve noticed –in the last year or so– a little forgetfulness and “brain fog” that wasn’t there before. It’s frustrating, because I was always such a great multi-tasker. Now, it’s harder to remained focused on one thing, let alone 4 or 5.

I need this so badly and I didn’t even know it existed. I always say my bad memory is due to having 4 kids but I know its my diet. I’m only 37. I can’t wait to get some of this because I feel like an old lady who is approaching Alzheimer’s. I also think my diet will take away the depressed feeling I am now getting every day, this is going to help so much to feel less stressed so I can succeed in losing the weight and becoming myself again. Thank you so much for bringing these products to my attention

Hi, Tamikko!
Thanks for stopping by! Oh, wow. You’ve learned something new today!
Diet and lifestyle changes (and fantabulous products like E3Live) definitely help enhance our health, memories, and slow down the aging process. It’s amazing what those changes can accomplish if we simply try.
So sorry to hear about the depression. You’re young still, and I’m glad that you’ve learned about these products too, so you can start reversing the symptoms of old age you’re having. Get ready to rewind!

This is an amazing, simply amazing product!!!!! I can’t wait to try it out for myself!!
