Nootropic Caps
We formulated our Nootropic caps to give you a clear, calm, creative energy and focus.
In our formulation research and testing for a Nootropic we realized most nootropics are overstimulating. They use caffeine or too many cholinergic stimulating compounds that make you feel jittery or wired.
I truly feel most people in todays world are "stress distracted" due to all the short for media and constant input we have we need a calm, focused, peaceful energy not more stimulation.
That is why we made a perfectly balanced nootropic that gives you this feeling of creativeness, flow, and focus.
I take 2-3 capsules when I need to crush some work. Which is pretty much every weekday and some weekends. This formula can be taken daily. We also made it affordable so you can use it as a daily nootropic.
Take anytime of the day but I would not take it within 3 hours of when you want to sleep.
Here is what is in the formula...
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus): A mushroom rich in hericenones/erinacines that may support nerve growth factor (NGF) and neuroplasticity. People often describe it as a clear focus that can help sustained attention and creative flow over time rather than a quick stimulant hit. In a 2008 double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial in older adults with mild cognitive impairment, those taking lion’s mane for 16 weeks showed significantly improved cognitive test scores vs placebo.
Alpha GPC 50% (L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine): A highly bioavailable choline source that raises brain acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter for attention, learning, and mental drive. It tends to feel like sharper task focus and faster recall, with a smooth, motivated mental energy. A 2021 randomized, placebo-controlled study in healthy adults found taking alpha-GPC for 2 weeks increased motivation and improved aspects of mental drive compared with placebo.
Bacopa Monnieri (aerial parts) extract: An Ayurvedic herb standardized for bacosides that support synaptic signaling and may reduce oxidative stress while improving memory/attention over weeks. It’s often felt as steadier concentration and less anxious rumination, which helps calm productivity and idea-linking. In a recent 2025 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled adult study, bacopa extract improved memory/attention measures and reduced stress/fatigue versus placebo.
Panax Ginseng (root) extract: An adaptogenic root with ginsenosides that modulate stress pathways and support energy metabolism and neurotransmitters. Typically experienced as cleaner mental stamina and resilience better focus under load, with less fatigue-fog and more upbeat creativity. A 2024 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in moderately stressed adults found taking Panax ginseng reduced perceived stress and improved some cognitive/emotional outcomes.
Ginkgo biloba (leaf) extract: A circulation-supporting, antioxidant leaf extract that can enhance cerebral blood flow and protect neurons, supporting memory and processing speed. Many people notice a subtle mental “brightness” and easier concentration and quicker idea access, especially when tired. A 2011 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 300 adults aged 45–65 with cognitive complaints found that taking ginkgo biloba extract significantly improved an objective attention/work-performance test compared with placebo.
Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum) (leaf) extract: A calming adaptogen that helps balance the HPA-axis and lower stress markers like cortisol. It tends to feel like relaxed clarity with less tension and overstimulation, making focused work and creative thinking smoother and more even-keeled. In a 2022 8-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial taking holy basil extract significantly lowered stress and improved mood/sleep in stressed adults versus placebo.
