Pros and cons

✓ Pros

  • The 100-capsule bottle is the longest-running supply in this list
  • Sold through The Generics Pharmacy rather than an unknown seller
  • Backed by a large number of owner ratings

✗ Cons

  • A food supplement, so it carries no approved therapeutic claim
  • The listing doesn't name the herbal actives behind the 500 mg
  • Committing to 100 capsules is a lot before you know it suits you

PowerCells’ 100-capsule bottle is the longest supply in this list, sold through The Generics Pharmacy, with a large base of owner ratings behind it.

What’s good about it

The source. TGP is a nationwide Philippine drugstore chain, and buying from its official store removes most of the counterfeit and unregistered-product risk that makes this category difficult. We found no FDA advisory against the product.

The rating base is substantial too, with well over a thousand ratings and more than ten thousand sold. That tells you people buy it repeatedly and are satisfied with the transaction.

100 capsules is genuinely convenient if this is something you already take. Reordering every two weeks is a real friction, and a big bottle removes it.

The problem with the label

The listing gives you 500 mg and stops there. It does not name the herbal actives.

For a product you’d take daily, in a 100-capsule commitment, that’s a significant gap. You can’t compare it to anything, you can’t check for interactions with medication you take, and you can’t tell your doctor what you’re taking if they ask. “500 mg of something herbal” is not enough information.

It’s also a food supplement, so it carries no approved therapeutic claim and is not a treatment for any condition.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱1,900 as of August 5, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That’s about ₱19 a capsule, and if you take one daily the bottle lasts a bit over three months, so roughly ₱570 a month. Compare that with the same brand’s 20-capsule pack, which works out dearer per capsule but costs far less to try.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you already take PowerCells, know it suits you, and want to stop reordering. It’s the right choice as a refill. As a first purchase it’s the wrong size, and the unnamed formula makes it hard to recommend to anyone choosing on label transparency.

Alternatives to consider

Trying it for the first time? The Power Cells 20-capsule pack is a far smaller commitment at around ₱420 as of August 5, 2026. Want a named active at a stated dose? Memo Plus Gold, our Best Overall pick, lists Bacopa monnieri 125 mg.

Frequently Asked Questions

What herbs are in PowerCells?

The listing gives a 500 mg strength but doesn't name the botanicals behind it. That's our main criticism. Check the physical label or ask the seller before committing to a 100-capsule bottle.

Is buying 100 capsules a good idea?

Only once you know a supplement suits you. Committing to a large bottle first is how people end up with a cabinet of half-used products. The same brand sells a 20-capsule pack through Southstar Drug that's better for a trial.

Is The Generics Pharmacy a trustworthy source?

Yes. TGP is a nationwide Philippine drugstore chain, and buying from its official store is far safer than an unknown marketplace seller, particularly in a category where unregistered products are a live problem.

Is it FDA registered?

We found no FDA advisory against it, which is reassuring but not the same as confirming registration. Search the exact product name on the FDA verification portal before buying.
