We formulated this nootropic to give ambitious people who care about their health a serious mental edge without the artificial additives or the jittery over-stimulation found in most "focus-boosting" products.

Using pharmacological science we've engineered a tool to support a calculated state: calm, laser focused, driven to accomplish your work, creative enough to bridge complex ideas, and able to hold a real flow state for hours.

A bit about us: We work as research scientists and we run businesses, which means we pull long days on hard problems — and we take our own health seriously enough to be skeptical of what we put in our bodies. 

When we went looking for a nootropic we could actually stand behind, we couldn't find one. Either the science didn't hold up under scrutiny, or the formula was decent but full of artificial additives used in manufacturing, or it was just a dump of caffeine marketed as a focus booster.

So we formulated one ourselves, at doses the human literature actually supports, and with ingredients we've researched to work powerfully and effectively, all without the artificial additives or stimulants.

How we take it: 5 capsules in the morning on an empty stomach or with light food (ideally protein and healthy fats), with a glass of water and electrolytes. Then coffee. That's the start of a maximally productive day.

Zero stimulants doesn't mean we're anti-caffeine. It means we didn't hide caffeine in your nootropic and charge you for it. You decide your own dose — and the 200 mg of L-theanine in our product happens to be the most well-studied pairing for taking the jitters out of your coffee while keeping the energy boost.

Here's what's in the formula and why it's there:

N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine — 900 mg
Direct precursor for dopamine and norepinephrine. Under sustained cognitive load, your brain depletes these neurotransmitters faster than it rebuilds them. This maintains drive and mental clarity through demanding work without afternoon collapse.

Saffron (Crocus sativus) stigma extract — 30 mg
Modulates mood and motivational tone through monoaminergic signaling. Creates steadier emotional baseline and reduces friction on cognitively demanding tasks. Reduces tension and fatigue while supporting mental clarity.

GeniusPure® Alpha-GPC 90% — 275 mg
Highly bioavailable choline source that raises acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter governing attention and learning. Produces sharper engagement and quicker cognitive retrieval under pressure without increasing anxiety.

Huperzia serrata whole plant extract (1% huperzine A) — 100 mcg
Selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that extends acetylcholine availability in the synapse. Paired with Alpha-GPC, it prolongs neurotransmitter duration while the GPC increases supply. Improves memory and learning performance.

Uridine Monophosphate — 150 mg
Nucleotide precursor for phospholipid synthesis in synaptic membranes. Provides structural substrate for optimal synaptic function and neural communication.

L-Theanine — 200 mg
Amino acid that modulates glutamate signaling and promotes alpha-wave brain activity. Delivers sustained alertness and focused calm without physical arousal or anxiety. Supports executive function and sleep quality.

Rhodiola rosea root extract (3% rosavins, 1% salidrosides) — 250 mg
Adaptogen regulating HPA-axis stress response. Maintains mental consistency throughout demanding days, reduces cortisol response to stress, and preserves cognitive performance under sustained pressure.

Zembrin® (Sceletium tortuosum) aerial parts extract — 25 mg
Dual-mechanism botanical: serotonin reuptake inhibition and PDE-4 inhibition. Reduces emotional reactivity and improves cognitive flexibility and executive function.

Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) fruiting body dual extract — 500 mg
Stimulates nerve growth factor signaling to support neuroplasticity and synaptic repair. Long-term effect: strengthens memory, learning capacity, and cognitive resilience with consistent use.

Pterostilbene — 50 mg
Polyphenol with superior brain bioavailability. Provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory neural protection, reducing brain fog and supporting mental clarity.

Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) — 20 mg
Cofactor supporting mitochondrial biogenesis for cellular energy production. Sustains cognitive performance during prolonged mental work and improves memory and processing speed.

Ginkgo biloba leaf extract (24% flavone glycosides) — 250 mg
Enhances cerebral blood flow and provides neural tissue protection. Improves performance on demanding cognitive tasks by raising capacity under load.

Vitamin B6 (P-5-P) 12 mg · Folate (L-5-MTHF) 400 mcg DFE · Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) 500 mcg
Cofactors for one-carbon metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. Prevents upstream bottlenecks in dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine production. Coenzyme forms require no conversion.

BioPerine® Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) fruit extract — 5 mg
Piperine standardized extract that inhibits enzymatic breakdown in the GI tract and liver. Ensures all active ingredients survive first-pass metabolism and reach systemic circulation.
