I was just googling "neurocell" to see how many others had picked up on this scam and I came across the following "article" on www.examiner.com: http://www.examiner.com/article/neurocell-review-quality-brain-booster-or-another-scam
I had never heard of examiner.com before, but apparently it's a website that permits just about anybody to post something masquerading as a news article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Examiner.com. That doesn't mean that it's all bad -- apparently there is a lot of news available there (and a few accusations of plagiarism). And I'm sure that legally they are not required to check their content for accuracy or anything else.
I'll copy the article here, since it might go away again, like every other piece of this neurocell scam. But first, I'll mention that it appears to me to be another fake ad -- another supposedly unbiased review of neurocell, which is uniformly positive and also gives you an easy way to order the product.
Again, the reason I know Neurocell is fake is that it is being sold using false and highly deceptive celebrity endorsements, including from Stephen Hawking, Anderson Cooper, Bill Gates, and Denzel Washington to name a few. See http://pricefixer.blogspot.com/2015/09/neurocell-fake-cnn-report-scam.html.
I suppose it's possible that Kelly Everson (the author of the puff-piece below) is not aware that Neurocell is a scam, and that she actually believes what she's written below.
One useful thing is that she lists the ingredients of Neurocell:
Apart from its effectiveness, Neurocell has so many benefits to the consumer such as;
Me again -- I've looked up Kelly Everson and it appears that she has written a lot of articles about nutritional supplements and other kinds of quasi-medical topics. Her bio consistently says that she has an MA in English literature, but doesn't tell us where it is from. I haven't looked closely at her other work. For all I know she is a respected health writer, but if that's the case, then I don't think this article was written by her.
I've also looked up Chicago Health Examiner and that does not appear to be a thing. A number of people -- including Kelly Everson or someone masquerading as her -- use it in their byline in articles (probably also placed ads), just like Kelly Everson. But you can't actually find any real references to it.
I then tried linking her to some of the other scam products that have been using the Stephen Hawking Anderson Cooper ad. It turns out she's written similar pro-supplement articles about all of them, all on examiner.com:
Cogniq is here: http://www.examiner.com/review/cogniq-review-is-cogniq-legit-or-scam
Intellux is here: http://www.examiner.com/review/intellux-review-warning-read-must-before-buy
These articles are about as poorly written as the neurocell one, again suggesting that they are written by someone for home American English is not a native language. e.g. here are two examples from the Cogniq article, which are grammatically poor, and also contradictory:
"It works to both men and women ages 40 to 65."
"CogniQ are only for those who are 18 years and order."
Synagen is here, although the writer is Gina Ricci, Philadelphia wellness examiner:

Oh, and here's a link between Kelly Everson and Alpha ZXT: http://beforeitsnews.com/health/2015/09/how-does-excess-fat-and-protein-in-diet-impacts-brain-negatively-2588674.html (even though it's not in the title, there is a plug for Alpha ZXT in there. She also mentions something called Cognimaxx, which doesn't seem to have the CNN ad, but which seems just as fake as all the others).

One useful thing is that she lists the ingredients of Neurocell:
Phosphatidylcholine -- supposedly stimulates multiplication of cells of the brain. If there were really such a thing, I think science would know about it. Wikipedia notes that it hasn't been proven to do much, although they cannot rule out that it helps with dementia.
Caffeine -- well, duh. You will certainly feel something if you're taking caffeine pills.
GABA -- supposedly widely known for improving alertness and suppressing stress. But according to Wikipedia, GABA is a neurotransmitter. You can take drugs to modulate it -- which might even have some noticable and beneficial effects, but there's no indication that it can be administered directly. Googling a little bit shows that studies might have been done with administering synthetic GABA, but she claims that the GABA in neurocell is natural. I'd need to study further.
L-Theanine -- supposedly suppresses stress as well. Wikipedia notes that this can release
GABA, which might well make it redundant with the GABA ingredient. Wikipedia also says that "The European Food Safety Authority EFSA advised negatively on health claims related to L-theanine and cognitive function, alleviation of psychological stress, maintenance of normal sleep, and reduction of menstrual discomfort. Therefore, health claims for L-Theanine are prohibited in the European Union.
L-Tyrosine -- she says it increases concentration and alertness and boosts memory. I can see some evidence that it relieves stress.. It is also widely known for its ability to boost memory.
Bacopa Mainieri -- she says it boosts memory. Bacopa does appear to be a known, traditional, naturalistic treatment for some things, but it's far from clear that it is known to boost memory.Anyway, without further ado, here is the "article." Judge for yourself whether it is real or just part of the scam.
I will note that for someone with an MA in English Literature, Ms. Everson is a bit weak on English. Like the Neurocell/Synagen etc fake CNN report, her article looks like it might have been written by someone for whom English -- esp. American English -- is not a first language.
For example:
"It’s important to note that Neurocell should be used by individuals aged above 30 years towards 70 years."
"The product has an official website where enquiries and orders can be made easily."
"It is surprising that Neurocell review, despite its effectiveness, it is sold at a low price of $57.95 only."
"It is even much cheaper when bought in higher quantities."
"Clinical tests show that this product contains ingredients which are natural and hence is safe."
"Only those above 30 years are advised to take after consulting a doctor or an expert."
