Magnesium is a mineral that is an essential building block for healthy brain function and has been known to improve cognitive function when used as a nootropic. It helps to support a wide range of neurological activities and provides the necessary nutrients for optimal performance and focus.^27,28,29

VitB-X™ Vitamin B Complex contains B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12. B vitamins contribute to nerve, heart and blood health. They also support healthy blood flow, oxygenation, and energy production in the brain.^9,10,11

B1 (as Thiamin) is used in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The brain requires a much greater amount of Thiamin than other cells of the body, and deficiencies can lead to detrimental neurological effects.

B2 (as Riboflavin) is needed for the function of every cell in the body and brain, and deficiencies may result in subtle neuropsychological impairment.

B3 (as Niacin) deficiency symptoms include irritability, poor concentration, anxiety, fatigue, restlessness, apathy, and depression.

B6 increases energy, and regulates mood and proper brain development.

B12 decreases fatigue, lethargy, stress, and mental decline.

St. John's Wort has a long history of use as a medicine to treat a range of illnesses, including various nervous disorders. It has antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiviral properties and also contains hypericin, hyperforin, and flavonoids. St. John’s Wort protects neurotransmitters responsible for mood regulation, energy, and concentration.^24,25,26

L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that is commonly included in nootropic formulas due to its potential cognitive-enhancing benefits. It works by increasing levels of dopamine and noradrenaline, two important neurotransmitters in the brain which can support learning and memory. L-Tyrosine can also reduce stress hormones, allowing you to stay focused and alert while you learn new information.^4,5,6

Glutamine is an amino acid and a building block of proteins which plays an important role in the maintenance and formation of healthy muscle and brain tissue. It is therefore an important component of any nootropic, as it supports both physical and mental health and can help protect the body against cognitive decline and stress. Glutamine also plays a vital role in improving and balancing neurotransmitter levels in the brain, helping to improve mental clarity, focus, and alertness.³⁶

L-Theanine, an amino acid, is able to cross the blood–brain barrier intact in order to affect the brain. L-Theanine has been studied for its potential ability to reduce mental and physical stress and boost mood and cognitive performance.^7,8

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is a powerful nootropic that offers a number of potential benefits. It helps support healthy brain function, potentially boosting focus, concentration, and memory. Additionally, it helps protect against oxidative stress, supporting the neural health of the brain and nervous system. ALC may also help to improve mood and can help the body to metabolize fats for energy production, thereby supporting cognitive health. ^30,31

Phosphatidylserine works by optimizing neuronal communication, increasing cognitive functioning, and restoring neuronal plasticity. It can also help to improve memory recall, elevate mood, and reduce feelings of stress. Research studies have demonstrated that it has the potential to improve brain metabolism and synaptic functioning, thereby optimizing brain cell performance and yielding a prolonged cognitive advantage.^19,20,21

Choline Bitartrate is a potent nootropic that helps to improve cognitive functions like memory, learning, and focus by increasing the levels of acetylcholine in the brain. This powerful neurotransmitter plays a vital role in enhancing brain activity and promoting nerve cell communication. Additionally, Choline Bitartrate acts as an antioxidant and prevents damage to brain cells by reducing inflammation. It also helps in maintaining a healthy nervous system by providing essential nutrients required for the production of myelin, the protective covering of nerves.^12,13

DMAE works by boosting the production of a chemical in the brain called acetylcholine, which helps support enhanced cognition, improved focus, better concentration, and more. Additionally, DMAE helps to reduce inflammation and increase circulation to the brain, leading to heightened alertness and better mood. ^14,15

Brahmi, also known as Bacopa monnieri, is a powerful adaptogenic herb for improved cognitive function. Its benefits include improving memory and concentration, reducing anxiety and stress levels, and enhancing overall brain function. It is also believed to have neuroprotective properties, protecting the brain against damage from toxins and age-related degeneration. ^32,33,34

Guarana can enhance cognitive functions such as focus, memory retention, and alertness. It contains natural, slow-release caffeine that can help individuals with mental fatigue and drowsiness to increase their productivity and mental clarity. Additionally, Guarana may also promote better physical endurance and metabolism, leading to an overall improvement in energy levels throughout the day.³⁵

Ginkgo Biloba, an ancient herb with roots in traditional Chinese medicine, has long been touted for its brain-boosting benefits. Its antioxidant properties can protect the brain from damage caused by free radicals. Ginkgo Biloba is also believed to improve cognitive function and memory by enhancing blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain. Its ability to increase neural activity and decrease inflammation in the brain may also contribute to its positive effects on overall brain health.^37,38

Alpha Lipoic Acid, also known as ALA, is a natural compound found in our bodies and some foods. Studies have shown that ALA has a significant impact on our brain health. It is known to have antioxidant properties which can help reduce inflammation and protect the brain from oxidative damage. This is important as inflammation and oxidative stress can lead to the death of brain cells, and consequently, memory loss, cognitive impairment, and neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, ALA has been shown to increase the production of energy in the brain cells, which can help enhance cognitive function, including memory, learning, and focus. Furthermore, ALA has the ability to improve blood flow in the brain, leading to better oxygen and nutrient delivery, which can enhance brain function.^16,17,18

Piperine, the main alkaloid from black pepper, has been shown to substantially increase the bioavailability of the nutrients in foods and supplements. Piperine can turn a marginally effective therapeutic substance into a highly effective one by increasing its bioavailability and intracellular residency time - meaning that you will feel the benefits much faster.^39,40

Huperzine A is a plant-based compound that has been shown to improve brain function by increasing levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain. By promoting neuroplasticity, it can improve memory and learning, while also protecting against neurodegeneration and age-related cognitive decline.^1,2,3
