Answer:

Neuriva is a line of "brain performance" supplements marketed under the Schiff brand for memory and cognition. The Neuriva formula itself has only been evaluated in one small, company-funded study which yielded mixed results, and there is only limited evidence of potential benefit for some of the ingredients in Neuriva (which include phosphatidylserine, coffee fruit extract, and, in some cases, B vitamins). Consequently, more research is needed to confirm any benefit from Neuriva. Lawsuits have been filed in the past against Neuriva's manufacturer for falsely marketing the supplements as being "clinically proven" without supporting evidence.
