Note on Vitamin Supplements Marketed as Nootropics:
Products like MyProtein's supplement are essentially vitamin and mineral formulations marketed with cognitive enhancement claims. While vitamins and minerals are important for overall health, they won't significantly impact cognitive performance unless you're deficient. These needs are better met with a basic multivitamin, allowing your nootropic supplement to focus on ingredients with direct cognitive enhancement properties at clinically effective doses.
Why Brainfocus Stands Apart:
- Premium Ingredients: We use only the highest quality, clinically-validated forms of each ingredient (Cognizin® CDP-Choline, KSM-66® Ashwagandha) - the exact same forms used in clinical research.
- KSM-66® Ashwagandha Excellence: Our 600mg dose of premium KSM-66® Ashwagandha is clinically proven to reduce stress, enhance focus, improve sleep quality, and boost testosterone levels naturally.
- Transparent Labeling: Every ingredient's source, concentration, and standardization is clearly stated - no proprietary blends or hidden details.
- Optimized Dosing: Each serving provides clinical-range doses designed for maximum cognitive enhancement during demanding tasks.
- No Redundancy: We select only the most effective compound for each mechanism of action - CDP-Choline over Phosphatidylserine, L-Theanine as our primary GABAergic.
Important Notes on Quality:
- Many supplements use inferior forms or unclear standardizations of ingredients. Brainfocus uses only premium, branded ingredients with proven bioavailability.
- Root extracts and herbal ingredients vary wildly in quality - Brainfocus uses only standardized extracts matching clinical research specifications.
- Dosages are optimized for peak cognitive performance during demanding tasks like exam preparation, presentations, or complex problem-solving.
