5-HTP is a naturally occurring amino acid and is the immediate precursor to the neurotransmitter Serotonin. Serotonin is primarily responsible for maintaining a positive mood and emotional balance. Serotonin also plays a key role in cognitive functions, including memory and learning and in the homeostasis of neural tissue.

Lion’s Mane Mushroom is one of the best natural nootropics available. Lion’s Mane has been shown to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the brain improving learning, memory and cognition. Lion’s Mane is also effective in reducing anxiety and depression. We use a high quality extract that is standardized to 30% polysaccharides, the active component of Lion's Mane Mushrooms.

CDP Choline (Citicoline) is a precursor to the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine and enhances memory, improves focus and clarity, increases mental energy. CDP Choline (Citicoline) is both highly bioavailable and easily crosses the blood-brain barrier, unlike cheaper choline supplements, such as choline bitartrate. Nearly 90% of the population does not get sufficient choline from their diets, which can lead to mental impairment and deficiencies. Acetylcholine levels also decline as we age and rapidly decline after age 45. A high-quality choline nootropic is an essential component of any quality nootropic stack. CDP Choline (Citicoline) is the best choline nootropic for improving brain function and mental performance.

Bacopa Monnieri (also known as Brahmi) is an Ayurvedic adaptogenic herb, that has been shown to improve cognition, improve learning, memory formation and reduce depression and anxiety. Bacopa Monnieri is an excellent general relaxant and improves the quality of sleep, so you wake up feeling more rested and refreshed. It is considered one of the best natural brain health supplements. We use a high quality extract that is standardized to 50% Bacosides, the active component of Bacopa Monnieri.

Magnesium L-Threonate is one of the most bioavailable forms of magnesium and is by far the most effective at crossing the blood-brain barrier and increasing magnesium levels in the brain. Magnesium L-Threonate supplementation enhances learning abilities, and short and long term memory, due to Magnesium's critical role in synaptic plasticity. Magnesium L-Threonate also exhibits neuroprotective effects (reducing cognitive decline), improves sleep quality and reduces depression and anxiety. Magnesium deficiency is extremely common, making proper supplementation critical for most people, especially older individuals.

Melatonin is the hormone that is naturally produced by the pineal gland and is responsible for telling our bodies that it is time to sleep. Melatonin supplementation increases the speed of falling asleep and adds to the quality of sleep. The cognitive decline that occurs with aging may be directly related to the drop in Melatonin. Melatonin supplementation may inhibit factors that can lead to cognitive decline. Aside from its sleep promoting benefits, Melatonin has strong antioxidant and immune system stimulating properties.

Zinc Picolinate is the most bioavailable form of Zinc, a critical trace mineral associated with healthy immune function, increased Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), improved learning, memory and reduced depression and anxiety. Zinc deficiency is common, in particular in older adults and in individuals with lifestyle (including alcohol consumption) and diet factors (including consumption of processed foods and Vegan or Vegetarian diets).

Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate is a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is critical to muscle growth and repair, neurotransmitter synthesis (including GABA, Serotonin and Dopamine synthesis) and energy metabolism. The combination of Magnesium, Zinc and B6 (as in DREAM), taken before sleeping, has been shown to naturally increase muscle growth and strength and improve endurance, recovery and sleep quality.

D-Calcium Pantothenate is a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin B5. Vitamin B5 is essential for the synthesis of Coenzyme-A (CoA) and Acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter associated with improved focus, learning, memory and clarity. Vitamin B5 also at the heart of the KREBs cycle which converts nutrients from food into ATP, the fuel source used by every cell in your body.
