Brillia Review

Brillia is a homeopathic product designed to ease anxiety, stress and hyperactivity while improving focus, and the company bills itself as a safe, non-prescription alternative to traditional medications. Brillia offers products for children, teens and adults suffering from symptoms such as anxiety and hyperactivity, whether they have a variety of diagnoses or no diagnoses at all.

Brillia comes in the form of small, dissolvable tablets that do not contain any flavors, sugars or colors. It can take two to three weeks or longer to see results, and the company claims there are no harmful side effects or contraindications with other medications.

While this product is easy to access—as no prescription is required and the company offers a 100% money-back guarantee—it’s important to note that this treatment has not been regulated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its safety or efficacy; a significant drawback for those dealing with hyperactivity and anxiety, as the tablets are expensive.

Summary

• Intended use: Brillia is designed to ease anxiety, impulsivity and hyperactivity in both kids and adults.
• Cost: Brillia starts at $56 and can range in price up to nearly $300, with the price depending on whether you choose to get a subscription and what kind of medication you are purchasing.
• Side effects: Brillia claims to not have any side effects and claims to not have any contraindications with other medications.

The active ingredient in Brillia is Lapine S-100B immune globulin, an antibody specific to the S-100B protein that is present in the brain. This protein is an essential regulator of many brain processes, such as communication between neurons. When there are high levels of S-100B, its activity becomes unnecessarily high, making it capable of producing symptoms such as anxiety and hyperactivity, according to the company. Brillia has the ability to regulate the activity of the S100B protein and stabilize levels of it, which helps regulate levels of anxiety and hyperactivity, according to the company. Brillia products contain lactose, but are gluten- and nut-free.

As with any homeopathic treatment, the FDA has not evaluated this treatment’s claims or efficacy. But research has found altered serum S100B protein levels in several psychiatric disorders, and studies have suggested S100 proteins play a role in the development of depression and the action of antidepressant treatment ^[4]Cagatay Kaya B, Karadag H, Oner O, Kart A, Turkcapar MH. Serum S100B Protein Levels in Patients with Panic Disorder: Effect of Treatment with Selective Serotonine Reuptake Inhibitors. Psychiatry Investig. 2015;12(2):260-262. ^[5]P, Mueller K. Serum S100B represents a new biomarker for mood disorders. Curr Drug Targets. 2013;14(11):1237-1248. .

The tablets are most effective when paired with its five holistic pillars, according to the company, which includes:

• Taking Brillia
• Proper nutrition
• Adequate sleep
• Mindfulness and relaxation practices
• Controlled screen time

This is not a product you should take if you’re looking for immediate results, as the company refers to Brillia as a “gentle product” with a cumulative effect. Some people will notice a difference in two to three weeks, says the company, while for others it will take longer. It recommends being consistent and giving the products three months to really evaluate results.

Brillia does not have any harmful side effects, according to the company, and is not habit forming, does not cause drowsiness or depression, does not affect appetite and does not cause weight loss.

Brillia does “not have any arrangement with insurance payment” according to the company, but may be eligible to be purchased with health savings account (HSA) funds.

Brillia offers two products: Brillia for Children and Brillia for Adults. Both use the same active ingredient, but the adult version has a stronger formulation that is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18.

Because Brillia is a homeopathic product, it is not FDA approved. The FDA does not regulate or approve these types of products for efficacy or safety, however, it does make sure manufacturers do not make unsubstantiated health claims (like saying a product can treat or cure a specific condition).

It’s worth noting that the FDA says it is not aware of scientific evidence to support homeopathy as effective, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has previously stated that, “in general, homeopathic product claims are not based on modern scientific methods and are not accepted by modern medical experts, but homeopathy nevertheless has many adherents.”

Some doctors are skeptical about how well Brillia will work. David Culpepper, M.D., clinical director of LifeMD and board-certified in internal medicine, says, “unfortunately, one need look no further than the word ‘homeopathic’ to know that this medicine will work no better than a placebo,” adding that, in his opinion, many people in the medical community view homeopathy as a pseudoscience.

There has never been scientific proof that a homeopathic mechanism has been successful for healing, Dr. Culpepper claims. “If the manufacturers call Brillia a homeopathic remedy, that is all I need to know,” he says. “If they can point to studies that say it works, I would respond: The placebo effect is real. Unfortunately, homeopathy is not.”

Brillia doesn’t have a page on the Better Business Bureau’s website and there are no reviews on its Trustpilot page (an online platform that hosts consumer reviews). There are user reviews on Brillia’s website and on its Facebook page, but it’s important to note that Brillia may be able to filter out unfavorable reviews on both platforms.

One 2019 Brillia review on Facebook says, “My 7-year-old has been taking Brillia for almost 1 month. He had struggled with mainly focusing on school work at home and at school. Since taking Brillia his level of focusing has improved significantly. He’s able to comprehend better and listen to direction more adequately.”

Another review for Brillia for adults found on the company’s website says, “Took a few weeks to notice the benefits but I noticed a big change in my anxiety. I was happy to know I could take it with my daily meds without any issues. Thank you Brillia for your wonderful and caring customer service and support.”

Brillia is meant to help with the below symptoms, according to its website:

• Anxiety
• Stress
• Hyperactivity
• Irritability
• Lack of focus

The company does not say that Brillia can cure or treat specific disorders, just that it can help target these symptoms. If you or your child experiences these symptoms, you may be interested in Brillia.
