There are claims that “Synapse XT supplement is extraordinarily formulated with around 233 unique and effective ingredients”2 but we have been unable to find out any more information.

What are the downsides of this treatment?

Potential side effects, allergic reactions and drug interactions from constituents.[3-15]

Cost – this supplement currently is on sale for $69 for one month’s supply excluding shipping and taxes.[1]

Has there been research into this treatment?

There have been no papers published on Synapse XT as a supplement, but there have been a number published on its component parts.

What does the research say?

With the exception of one small trial of a magnesium supplement, which showed positive results[16], there is no evidence that any of the known components of this supplement are effective for treating tinnitus.[3-15]

Although some of the components are thought of as safe, some may be harmful including Vitamin B6 (if taken for prolonged periods)[7], green tea in large doses[9] and potassium[14] (if taken in large doses).

Comments
