Doppelherz Mega Brain Omega-3 + Ginkgo Capsules
Mega Brain is a daily memory, focus and heart formula from Doppelherz. It brings together ginkgo leaf extract, one of the most researched herbs for memory, omega-3 from sea fish oil for your heart and brain, B vitamins that contribute to normal mental performance and help reduce tiredness and fatigue, and vitamin E to protect your cells.
It suits students and busy professionals who want to stay sharp, adults keeping memory and circulation in good shape as they age, and anyone who eats little oily fish.
How Mega Brain May Support Memory and Focus
Ginkgo is the heart of the formula. The leaf extract has been studied for memory for decades, and the results in healthy adults are encouraging. In one placebo-controlled study, 188 healthy adults aged 45 to 56 took a standardised ginkgo extract for six weeks and recalled significantly more of a list of appointments, both straight away and later, than those taking a dummy capsule. In another, adults over sixty who took ginkgo for six weeks showed better delayed recall than the placebo group.
Researchers think ginkgo works in two ways. It appears to support blood flow, including to the brain, and its natural flavonoids and terpenoids act as antioxidants that help protect nerve cells. Those studies used 180mg to 240mg of ginkgo a day; Mega Brain combines its 100mg daily with omega-3 and B vitamins, so the brain is supported from several directions at once.
B Vitamins for Mental Energy and Less Tiredness
The B vitamins in Mega Brain are there for your mind as much as your body, and their benefits are recognised by European food regulators, who allow only claims that meet their evidence standard.
Pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Niacin contributes to normal psychological function and also to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Thiamine, vitamin B1, contributes to normal psychological function and to the normal function of the heart. Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal energy release from food.
That makes Mega Brain a practical choice during long working weeks, exam seasons and any stretch when your head feels heavier than your workload should allow.
Omega-3 for Your Heart, Brain and Mood
Your brain is nearly 60% fat, and DHA is one of its main building blocks. DHA and EPA are the two omega-3 fats found in oily fish, and most of us eat less of them than we should.
A daily dose of Mega Brain supplies 300mg of EPA and DHA together. European regulators recognise that EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart from 250mg a day, so Mega Brain delivers that amount with room to spare.
The balance matters too. In Mega Brain, EPA makes up 60% of the omega-3. A 2019 review of clinical trials found that omega-3 formulas with at least 60% EPA may help lift low mood, which is a welcome extra for anyone under pressure.
Vitamin E: Protecting Your Cells
Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, the everyday wear that comes from stress, pollution and a hard-working metabolism. Alongside ginkgo’s own antioxidants, it rounds out a formula built to look after the brain for the long term.
What Is in a Daily Dose of Mega Brain
Two capsules, the daily dose, supply the following, according to the manufacturer’s label:
- Sea fish oil 1,000mg, providing EPA 180mg and DHA 120mg
- Ginkgo biloba leaf extract 100mg, standardised
- Vitamin B1 (thiamine) 1.1mg
- Niacin 16mg
- Pantothenic acid 9mg
- Vitamin B12 2.5µg
- Vitamin E 12mg
The vitamins sit at about a day’s recommended amount for an adult, pantothenic acid a little above it, so Mega Brain fits easily alongside a normal diet. Doppelherz is a long-established German supplement maker, and the ginkgo is a standardised extract, so every capsule delivers a consistent amount.
Who Mega Brain Is For
Students preparing for exams, alongside good sleep, regular meals and plenty of water. Professionals with long days of meetings, screens and decisions. Adults over forty who want to keep memory, focus and circulation in good shape. And anyone who rarely eats oily fish such as omena, sardines or mackerel, and wants a steady daily source of omega-3.
How to Take It, and What to Expect
Take two capsules a day with a meal and a glass of water, swallowed whole. Taking them with food helps the omega-3 absorb and keeps your stomach comfortable.
Take it every day, consistently. The memory studies ran for six weeks, so give Mega Brain six to eight weeks to show what it can do for you. A pack of 60 capsules lasts a month.
Looking for Mega Brain Syrup?
Mega Brain comes as capsules, made for adults and older children. For a young child, an omega-3 syrup made especially for children is the better fit. Ask us and we will recommend one suited to your child’s age.
Is Mega Brain Right for You?
Mega Brain is well tolerated by most adults. Because ginkgo can affect blood clotting, our pharmacist is happy to check it with you first if any of these apply:
- You take a blood thinner such as warfarin, aspirin or clopidogrel, or you have a bleeding disorder.
- You have an operation or dental extraction coming up. The manufacturer advises stopping two weeks before.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding, or buying for a child under nine.
- You take medicine for epilepsy, diabetes or HIV, or you are allergic to fish or shellfish.
Side effects are uncommon and usually mild, such as a headache or an upset stomach, and taking the capsules with food helps.
Storing It
Keep the pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Fish oil stays fresh longest away from heat, so keep it out of a hot car or a sunny windowsill.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mega Brain supplement used for?
Mega Brain from Doppelherz is a daily supplement to help support memory, focus and mental energy, with heart support from omega-3. It combines ginkgo leaf extract, omega-3 from sea fish oil, B vitamins that contribute to normal mental performance and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and vitamin E to protect cells from oxidative stress.
Can Mega Brain help with memory and concentration?
It may. Its key ingredient, ginkgo leaf extract, has been studied for memory for decades, and in placebo-controlled studies healthy adults who took a standardised ginkgo extract for six weeks recalled more than those on placebo. Mega Brain adds B vitamins that contribute to normal mental performance, so the brain is supported in more than one way.
Does Mega Brain help with tiredness?
Its B vitamins help. Pantothenic acid, niacin and vitamin B12 all contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy release from food, which is why many people take Mega Brain through busy or demanding periods.
Is Mega Brain good for students during exams?
Many students take it while studying. Its B vitamins support normal mental performance and energy, and ginkgo may support memory. It works best alongside good sleep, regular meals and plenty of water. For students under eighteen, have a quick word with our pharmacist first.
How much omega-3 is in Mega Brain?
Two capsules, the daily dose, supply 300mg of EPA and DHA from 1,000mg of sea fish oil. That is more than the 250mg a day at which EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.
How long before I notice a difference?
Take it every day with meals and give it six to eight weeks. The memory studies on ginkgo ran for six weeks, and omega-3 builds up in the body gradually with regular use.
Is there a Mega Brain syrup?
Mega Brain comes as capsules for adults and older children. For a young child, an omega-3 syrup made especially for children is the better fit, and we will gladly recommend one.
Can I take Mega Brain with my other medicines?
Most people can. Because ginkgo can affect blood clotting, check with our pharmacist first if you take a blood thinner such as warfarin, aspirin or clopidogrel, or medicine for epilepsy, diabetes or HIV, and stop two weeks before any operation.
Can I take Mega Brain in pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
The manufacturer advises avoiding it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Our pharmacist can suggest an omega-3 suited to pregnancy instead.
Is Mega Brain suitable for vegetarians?
No. It contains sea fish oil and a gelatin capsule, so it is also not suitable for anyone allergic to fish or shellfish.
