Top TrendingA Bottle From an English Spa Town With a Trial on Itself: 49 People, 30 Days, an Average Age of 31. Its Eleven Ingredients, Beside Their Own Trials, One Lamp at a Time.
Mind Lab Pro is a capsule from Performance Lab, a company in Leamington Spa, England, shipped to American customers from a depot in the United States: eleven ingredients, no caffeine, two capsules on an empty stomach in the morning, and the rare supplement with a published trial on the whole bottle. I read that trial slowly, then put each of the eleven ingredients under its own lamp, read the reviews and the return page, and wrote down what I could and couldn't see.
This is a paid advertisement. Sponsored by Performance Lab Ltd.
Alan Northcott is the pen name of this desk.
The customers quoted on this page are real; their reviews are public on the seller's review platform and were read through that platform's own public listing on September 9, 2026.
I haven't met them and know nothing about them beyond what they wrote.
The small photos beside their reviews are illustrations, not the reviewers.
Everything about the capsule, from the eleven lines on the panel to the return policy, comes from the seller's own pages, read the same day.
Most bottles on my desk have never been tested.
The ingredients have, one at a time, in other people's trials.
The bottle itself, never.
This one is different, and I want to give it credit for that before I take some of it back.
Somebody put the whole capsule into a trial, with a placebo, and published the result in a peer-reviewed journal.
That's rarer than it should be.
So I read the trial the way you'd read a contract: slowly, with a lamp, looking for the small print.
Here is the small print.
Forty-nine people finished it.
Thirty-six took the capsule and thirteen took the placebo.
They were between 20 and 68 years old, and their average age was 31.
They took it for 30 days, and the memory test at the end was the standard Wechsler battery.
The capsule group improved on every memory subtest, and did better than the placebo group on immediate and delayed recall. [1]
The seller's own page says its parent company paid for the study.
A real trial, a real result, in 36 people whose average age was 31, over one month, paid for by the maker. That's the best sentence anyone can honestly write about this bottle, and I've written it first so you can weigh the rest against it.
Here's what the bottle is.
Sixty plant-based capsules from Performance Lab, a company in Leamington Spa, a spa town in the English Midlands.
Eleven ingredients: citicoline, bacopa, lion's mane, phosphatidylserine, an amino acid called N-acetyl L-tyrosine, L-theanine, rhodiola, maritime pine bark, and vitamins B6, B9 and B12.
No caffeine.
Contains soy.
Two capsules in the morning on an empty stomach; two more around lunch if you want them.
Thirty days at two, fifteen at four.
I did what I always do.
I read the label before the listing.
I read the trial on the bottle, and then the trials behind each of the eleven lines, at the doses they actually used.
I read the reviews and kept four.
And I read the shipping and return pages, which for an English company shipping to Ohio are more important than usual.
What I found is a carefully built capsule with one honest trial on itself, eleven ingredients mostly at half the dose their own trials used, and a return policy that refunds the bottle but not the postage.
One more thing before the first lamp, because most of you got here from one of our own advertisements.
Those ads talk about a boxed cereal, three foods, three drinks, and three words or phrases a man is supposed to be able to say or spell.
None of that is in the capsule, and I won't pretend it is.
It's on this page, in its place: the cereal, the drinks and the word test are the tenth lamp, and the honest version of every headline we run is in the guide linked at the foot.
Lamp one · The bottleSixty Capsules, Eleven Lines, and No Caffeine
This is what's on the desk.
A dark bottle with a white label and a lot of writing on it.
The panel, per two capsules, reads like this:
Vitamin B6, 2.5 milligrams.
Vitamin B9, 100 micrograms.
Vitamin B12, 7.5 micrograms.
Citicoline, 250 milligrams.
Bacopa, 150 milligrams, standardized to 24 percent bacosides.
Lion's mane mushroom, fruiting body, 500 milligrams.
Phosphatidylserine, 100 milligrams, from soy.
N-acetyl L-tyrosine, 175 milligrams.
L-theanine, 100 milligrams.
Rhodiola, 50 milligrams.
Maritime pine bark extract, 75 milligrams.
Then a rice concentrate and a capsule made of pullulan, a fermented starch.
The directions are two lines.
"Take 2 to 4 capsules per day in the morning or early afternoon on an empty stomach."
And for best results, two before breakfast, two more around lunch if required.
Two more things off the label.
It's vegan, and the capsule is plant-based, which the seller makes a point of.
And it contains soy, because the phosphatidylserine is made from it.
If soy is a problem for you, that's the line.
Every number on this page is for two capsules. If you take four, double them, and the bottle lasts fifteen days.
Lamp two · The trial on the bottleForty-Nine People, Thirty Days, and the Small Print
Let me read you the trial properly, because the seller's page reads it fast.
The seller's page says the bottle is "the only" formula of its kind "shown to enhance brainpower in multiple double-blind, placebo-controlled human trials," and lists three studies.
I read the one published in a peer-reviewed psychopharmacology journal in 2023, which is the memory study, and it's the one I can put under the lamp. [1]
The other two the seller cites are about processing speed and brain-wave patterns; the seller's own page says two of the three were funded by its parent company.
Here's the memory study, line by line.
Forty-nine healthy adults completed it: 36 on the capsule, 13 on placebo.
That's an uneven split, nearly three to one.
Ages ran from 20 to 68, with an average of 31 and a wide spread.
Thirty days.
The test was the Wechsler Memory Scale, a standard, serious instrument.
The result: the capsule group improved on all the memory subtests; the placebo group improved on two.
Between the groups, immediate recall and delayed recall were significantly better on the capsule. [1]
That's a real finding, and I don't want to wave it away.
I also want you to notice three things: thirteen people on placebo, an average age of 31, and the maker's money.
None of those makes the result false.
All of them make it small.
And one thing the study can't tell you, because it wasn't designed to.
It tested the whole capsule.
It can't say which of the eleven ingredients did the work, or whether any single one of them would.
So the trial on the bottle is a reason to read the other ten lamps, not a reason to skip them.
Lamp three · CiticolineThe Ingredient With the Best Trial in People Your Age, at Half the Dose
Fourth on the panel, and the line I'd have picked if I could only pick one.
Citicoline is a compound the body makes on the way to building the membranes of nerve cells, and it's sold as a supplement under the brand this bottle uses.
It has one good trial in people your age.
One hundred healthy adults aged 50 to 85, all with the ordinary memory slips of age, took 500 milligrams a day or a placebo for twelve weeks.
Memory improved in both groups, the way it does when you practice a test.
But on the paired-associate test, the one where you learn which words go together, the citicoline group improved more. [2]
Five hundred milligrams a day for twelve weeks in people aged 50 to 85.
Two capsules of this bottle hold 250.
Four hold 500, for fifteen days a bottle.
If you take the higher dose, citicoline is the one line here that matches its trial in men your age. At the lower dose, it's half of it.
Lamp four · BacopaThe Plant With Three Good Trials Over 55, at Half the Dose
Fifth on the panel, and the plant with the best record on this page.
Bacopa is a creeping water plant with small white flowers, used in Ayurveda for learning.
The bottle has 150 milligrams of an extract standardized to 24 percent bacosides, the compounds the trials measure.
The trials in people your age all used twice that.
Fifty-four healthy adults over 65 took 300 milligrams a day for twelve weeks and did better on a word-list learning test than placebo. [3]
Ninety-eight healthy adults over 55 took 300 milligrams a day for twelve weeks and did better on delayed recall. [4]
A meta-analysis of nine trials, 518 people, all at least twelve weeks, found faster attention and better memory performance on some tests, with stomach complaints as the main side effect. [5]
Three hundred milligrams a day, for twelve weeks, in men over 55.
Two capsules of this bottle hold 150.
Four hold 300, for fifteen days a bottle.
Notice the pattern forming.
At two capsules, half the trial dose.
At four, the trial dose, for half the month.
It's the same arithmetic as citicoline, and it's the honest way to read this bottle.
Lamp five · Lion's maneThe Mushroom, at a Sixth of Its Trial
Sixth on the panel, and the biggest number on it: 500 milligrams.
Lion's mane is the shaggy white mushroom, sold as food and as the mushroom everyone means when they say "mushrooms for memory."
This bottle uses the fruiting body, the mushroom itself, which is the right part; the trial used it too.
Thirty-one healthy adults over 50 took 3.2 grams a day for twelve weeks and scored a little higher on a standard mental-status test than placebo; a visual-memory test didn't change. [6]
A single 1.8-gram dose in younger adults made them faster on a color-word test an hour later. [7]
Three thousand two hundred milligrams a day moved one test a little.
Two capsules hold 500, a sixth of that.
Four capsules, a third.
Five hundred milligrams sounds like a lot until you see what the trial used. It's the right mushroom, the right part, and a fraction of the dose.
Lamp six · PhosphatidylserineThe Fat That Didn't Move Anything at This Dose
Seventh on the panel, and the line I'd want you to read most carefully, because its trial is the clearest on this page.
Phosphatidylserine is a fat found in every cell membrane, and in high amounts in nerve cells.
This bottle has 100 milligrams of it, made from soy.
Seventy-eight Japanese adults aged 50 to 69 with memory complaints took 100 or 300 milligrams a day of soy-derived phosphatidylserine, or a placebo, for six months.
Neither dose produced a significant difference from placebo on the memory tests. [8]
One hundred milligrams a day for six months, in people aged 50 to 69 who worried about their memory, did nothing that the placebo didn't. That is exactly what two capsules of this bottle hold.
If a line on a label has a trial in people your age at the same dose, and the trial came out empty, the honest word for that line is "no." This is that line.
Lamp seven · The restTyrosine, Theanine, Rhodiola, Pine Bark and Three B Vitamins
The remaining five lines, briefly, because that's what the evidence allows.
N-acetyl L-tyrosine, 175 milligrams.
Tyrosine is the amino acid the body uses to make the chemicals that carry urgency.
A 2015 review of the trials concluded it seems to help performance mainly in short-term hard situations, when those chemicals are being used up fast, and not otherwise. [9]
A quiet morning at a desk isn't that situation.
L-theanine, 100 milligrams.
The amino acid from green tea that makes tea feel different from coffee.
One single-dose trial in adults aged 50 to 69 found a small improvement on an attention task. [10]
One dose, one afternoon, one task.
Rhodiola, 50 milligrams.
A mountain herb from the far north.
The trial I could read was in 56 young clinicians on night duty, who took one tablet a day and did better on tests of mental tiredness than on placebo. [11]
Night-shift clinicians in their twenties, at a dose the paper doesn't match to this one.
Maritime pine bark, 75 milligrams.
An extract of the bark of a French pine, rich in the same family of compounds as grape seed.
I couldn't find a trial of it on memory in healthy older adults that I could read.
The seller's claim for it is about blood flow.
That's a blank, and I'd rather say so.
Vitamins B6, B9 and B12.
The seller says they support blood flow and energy.
A 2018 Cochrane review of 14 trials in 27,882 cognitively healthy adults concluded that B-vitamin supplements, alone or combined, had no effect on cognition in people who weren't deficient. [12]
If you're low in B12, that's a blood test and a clinician, not a capsule with ten other things in it.
Five lines, one review, three small trials in the wrong people, one blank. That's the back half of the panel.
Lamp eight · The reviewsThe Reviews I Could Verify, and Four Kept
The seller's page says 2,655 reviews with an average of 4.5 stars.
Its review platform's public listing for the store gave me 32 of them to read, 29 marked as confirmed buyers.
I don't know where the other two thousand live, and I won't count what I can't read.
Of the 32, I threw out the ones about customs and customer service, the ones written before the bottle was opened, and one that mentioned a sleeping problem.
I kept four, one of them lukewarm on purpose.
These are real customers, quoted word for word from the seller's review platform; the small photos beside them are illustrations, not the reviewers.
I feel much more focused with Mind Lab Pro. It helps me remember things more easily, and I can access information in my mind really fast.
I have taken Mind Lab Pro for about two years. It provides quite a difference in my memory! I did a little dip at one point when I went without my MLP for a few months.
I'm satisfied with the results I'm getting from Mind Lab Pro. I previously took one capsule per day and am now taking two due to my workload and having to get through tasks quicker.
I really don't know what to say. I take this more than a month. Yes maybe more focus and clear mind but that's it. But I won't stop, I carry on because I believe that maybe it needs more time.
Read those the way I did.
Edgar and Nikki are enthusiastic, and I've quoted them because they bought it and said so.
I can't check what they describe, and neither can you.
Jaffor went from one capsule to two because of his workload.
The label says two to four, so he's at the bottom of the range.
Anastasio gave it four stars and "maybe more focus but that's it," and keeps taking it because he believes it needs time.
That's the most honest paragraph in the pile, and it's also how supplements keep customers.
Nobody I kept describes anything a placebo group in a 30-day trial wouldn't also describe.
That isn't an insult.
It's the finding.
Lamp nine · The likelier explanationWhat Two Capsules on an Empty Stomach Actually Do
Suppose you buy it, take two before breakfast tomorrow, and feel sharper by nine.
I'd believe you.
And I'd give you three reasons before I gave the label one.
You drank a full glass of water on an empty stomach before your coffee, which almost nobody does.
You did one deliberate thing before the day started, and you're watching for it to work.
And you paid for it, which is the strongest ingredient in any bottle.
There's no caffeine in this one, which is worth saying twice: whatever you feel, it isn't that.
What actually helps, and costs nothing, is duller than eleven lines.
- A glass of water before the coffee. The capsule's best instruction is the empty stomach and the water it makes you drink.
- No coffee after two. The three o'clock cup answers three o'clock and wrecks eleven.
- One thing at a time. The phone in a drawer while you read the contract.
- Ten minutes outside before the hard part of the day.
- A pencil. Writing a thing down is the oldest memory aid there is, and it never runs out.
Now look at that list and be honest.
You've heard every item since your first physical, and you still don't do them.
Boring loses to a dark bottle every time.
If a capsule gets you to drink a glass of water before breakfast and start the day on purpose, it did its work before any ingredient did. And the ingredients, at two capsules, are mostly at half of their trials.
Lamp ten · The bowl and the cupThe Cereal, the Three Drinks, the Three Foods and the Word Test From Our Own Advertisements
Our advertisements have been saying, in one version or another, that a boxed cereal, three foods and three drinks have something to do with memory, and that there are three words or phrases a man ought to be able to say.
You're owed the honest version, under one lamp, so here it is.
Start with the bowl.
A frosted, honey-coated or chocolate cereal is mostly refined starch and added sugar, and a serving can carry more sugar than a cookie.
No cereal "ages the brain faster than time."
Nobody has measured any such thing, and that phrase was written to be clicked.
What the studies do say is duller, and worth more.
In the Framingham Heart Study, adults who drank more sugary beverages scored lower on tests of memory, and daily fruit juice went the same way. [13]
In a Brazilian study of 10,775 adults followed for eight years, the ones who ate the most ultra-processed food, and the sweet cereal shelf is part of that, lost ground on tests of thinking about a quarter faster than the ones who ate the least. [14]
Both are associations across a population, not a sentence on your bowl.
And a quarter faster than slow is still slow.
The three drinks.
The "evening drink" in our advertisement is alcohol, and it's the one with the strongest case behind it: in 550 British civil servants followed for thirty years, the more a person drank, the faster their scores fell on a word-fluency test, and light drinkers had no edge over those who didn't drink at all. [15]
The second is sugar in a glass: soda, sweetened tea, the tall flavored coffee from the counter, which is a soft drink with coffee in it.
The Framingham finding above is about sugary drinks, and those are sugary drinks. [13]
The third, in one of our headlines, was coffee.
That was our worst headline.
Plain black coffee and plain tea aren't the drinks any of those studies were about.
Keep your coffee.
Keep it before two.
This capsule has no caffeine, so it won't add to it.
The three foods.
Processed meat, fried food, and the white-flour shelf: pastries, packaged cakes, white bread.
Our advertisement says "just stop eating these three."
The research says something slower.
In 960 older adults followed for nearly five years, the ones whose meals looked most like the MIND pattern, vegetables, berries, nuts, whole grains, beans, fish and olive oil, held their thinking scores better, and the gap between the top and bottom thirds worked out to about seven and a half years of age. [16]
That's a pattern over years, not a list of three, and it can't be sold in a headline.
Which is exactly why our headline doesn't say it.
Less sugar in the bowl and the glass.
Less alcohol in the evening.
Keep the coffee.
Eat more like the Mediterranean shelf and less like the vending machine.
Every one of those costs nothing, and none of them is in the capsule.
The three words, or the three phrases.
There's no such list.
What our advertisement borrowed from is the short, scored mental-status test clinicians have given at the bedside since the 1970s: the date and the place, a few words to hold in mind and give back a minute later, a sum, naming, repeating one sentence, copying a drawing.
It's given in person and read against your age and your schooling by someone trained to do it, and a low score is a reason for a proper look, not a verdict.
Stumbling on a word when you're tired or being timed means nothing on its own.
Nothing begins at a word.
If the worry behind the click is real, that's fifteen minutes with your own clinician, and it costs you nothing from me.
And the advertisement about the things some men take every day.
That one sits closest to real research, and it's the one an advertisement has no business acting on.
Some kinds of daily medicine, including a few sold over the counter for allergies and for the night, are on the lists pharmacists check for people over 65.
Don't stop or change any of it because of an advertisement, ours included. Put everything you take in one bag, this bottle included, take it to the pharmacist, and ask one question: is anything here a poor choice at my age?
The guide at the foot of this page has that section written out, with the studies.
So if you clicked on the cereal, here's where the cereal went: under the lamp, next to a bottle that has nothing to do with it, where the real answer was always a plainer bowl and a glass of water.
Lamp eleven · What it isn'tSix Things Two Capsules Won't Do
- It won't give you the trial dose of citicoline or bacopa. At two capsules, each is at half. At four, you reach it and the bottle lasts fifteen days.
- It won't do what the trial on the bottle did, in you, on the strength of that trial. Thirty-six people, average age 31, thirty days, paid for by the maker.
- It won't be without soy. The phosphatidylserine is made from soy, and that ingredient's own six-month trial at this dose came out empty.
- It won't act on any condition a clinician has named. It's a food supplement, and its own label carries the sentence that says so.
- It won't arrive in two days. It ships from a depot in the United States for an English company, and the seller quotes four to ten working days.
- It won't come back with the postage. The promise refunds the bottle, minus shipping, on a first order only.
If that list annoys you, I'd rather you were annoyed now than when the box arrives.
Lamp twelve · The routineIf You Do Buy It: One Bottle, Thirty Days, Two Capsules, One Glass of Water
If you're going to spend the money, spend it as a test with a date on it, and test the thing that can actually work.
- Buy one bottle. Thirty days at two capsules is the test, and the promise window is thirty days from the day you decide to use it.
- Two capsules before breakfast with a full glass of water, not four. Four reaches the trial doses and halves the month; decide that on day thirty, not day one.
- No coffee after two, the same as before. There's no caffeine in the capsule, so the afternoon is yours to keep clean.
- Write one line a day in a notebook. Not "sharper" or "foggier." What you were doing at ten, and how it went.
- Keep everything else the same for the first two weeks, so the notebook is about the capsule. Add the glass of water at three in the second two weeks, so you know what the water does.
- On day thirty, read the thirty lines. If the second half reads better than the first, decide which change did it. The notebook will tell you more than the bottle will.
Look at that list the way I do.
Four of the six things cost nothing.
The bottle is the one you'll pay for, and the water and the notebook are the ones that will do the work.
Lamp thirteen · Who it's forWho It Suits, and Who It Doesn't
This is worth a look if:
- You want a capsule that's actually been tested as a whole, and you've now read exactly how big that test was.
- You want eleven ingredients you've heard of, each with a real trial somewhere, and you can hold the doses in your head: mostly half, at two capsules.
- You want no caffeine, a vegan capsule, and a company with a street address in England and a depot in the United States. You have all three now.
- You'll run it as a thirty-day test with a notebook, not as a hope.
- You don't mind soy.
Give it a miss if:
- You want the trial dose of citicoline or bacopa without taking four capsules a day.
- You avoid soy.
- You want something that acts on a condition a clinician has named. This is a food supplement.
- You take anything daily and haven't asked a pharmacist about bacopa, rhodiola and B vitamins. Ask first.
- You want your postage back if it doesn't suit you. The promise refunds the bottle, not the shipping.
- You need it this week. Four to ten working days from the seller's American depot.
Lamp fourteen · Where it's soldFrom an English Spa Town, Shipped From a Depot in the United States, With Thirty Days to Decide
The bottle is sold by Performance Lab on its own website, and that's the only place this page links to.
The company is easy to find, if a little far.
Performance Lab Ltd, at a street address in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England, with a company registration number printed on its site and an email for customer care.
It doesn't publish a phone number, which I'd rather tell you than have you look for one.
The current price is shown on its page, not here.
The day I read it, a bottle of sixty cost about what a tank of gas costs, and the subscription price was lower for those who want it.
Buy one bottle.
Thirty days is a test.
A subscription to something you haven't tried is a bet.
Now the two things that matter more than the price.
First, shipping.
The seller's page is clear: "If you live in the USA, including Hawaii, Alaska, Guam and Puerto Rico, your order will be sent from one of our depots in the USA."
Four to ten working days standard, two to four express.
Rates at checkout.
Second, the return policy.
Read this twice.
The seller says: "Put us to the test for a full 30 days.
If you don't see results, we will gladly refund your money (minus any shipping costs)."
That applies to a first order, one bottle, and you have up to 60 days after delivery to ask.
Unused bottles can be returned within 14 days, with you paying the return postage.
It's a real refund promise on the bottle, for one bottle, with the postage kept.
I'd rather say that plainly than call it with no risk.

QuestionsWhat Readers Ask Me Before Their First Bottle
Questions readers ask
Is this medicine?
No. It's a food supplement, eleven ingredients in a plant-based capsule, made for a company in England.
The label carries the standard sentence every supplement carries, the one that says the claims haven't been evaluated by the FDA.
Has it really been tested?
Yes, and that's rare. The trial I read had 49 people finish it, 36 on the capsule and 13 on placebo, average age 31, for 30 days; the capsule group did better on immediate and delayed recall.
The seller says its parent company paid for it. It can't tell you which ingredient did the work.
Does it have caffeine?
No. That's one of the clearest things about it.
Whatever you feel isn't caffeine.
How much of each ingredient is in it?
Every line is printed, per two capsules: citicoline 250 milligrams, bacopa 150, lion's mane 500, phosphatidylserine 100, tyrosine 175, theanine 100, rhodiola 50, pine bark 75, and three B vitamins. Four capsules double all of it and halve the month.
Why do you keep saying "half"?
Because the trials in people your age used 500 milligrams of citicoline and 300 of bacopa, and two capsules hold 250 and 150. It isn't a criticism of the label.
It's arithmetic.
Will it help my memory?
I can't tell you that, and you should be wary of any page that does. The trial on the bottle was in people half your age for one month.
Citicoline and bacopa have real trials in men over 55, at twice the dose in two capsules. Phosphatidylserine's trial at this dose came out empty.
What the customers I kept describe is focus and productivity, which a morning ritual delivers too.
Can I take it alongside what I already take?
Ask your clinician or pharmacist and take the ingredient guide with you. Bacopa, rhodiola, tyrosine and B vitamins are all worth a mention if you take anything daily, and it contains soy.
Two minutes at the pharmacy counter answers all of that.
Which reviews did you leave out, and why?
Twenty-eight of the 32 I could read on the seller's review platform. The ones about customs and service, the ones written before the bottle was opened, one that mentioned a sleeping problem, and the ones that didn't name the product.
The seller's page claims thousands more; I only count what I can read.
Does it ship to me?
Yes, from a depot in the United States, in four to ten working days standard. The company itself is in England.
What if it arrives and I don't like it?
For a first order, you have up to 60 days after delivery to ask for your money back on the bottle, minus shipping. Unused bottles go back within 14 days at your postage.
Your advertisement was about a cereal, or three foods, or three drinks. Where is that on this page?
In lamp ten, in full, with the studies. The short version: less sugar in the bowl and the glass, less alcohol in the evening, keep your plain coffee, and eat more like the Mediterranean shelf.
None of it is in the capsule, and the ingredient and advertising guide at the foot goes through every headline we run and says which ones overstate.
Your advertisement said something about three phrases, or spelling three words. Is there a test I can take?
Not on a screen. The words and phrases come from the short mental-status test clinicians give in person, and it's read against your age and schooling by someone trained to do it.
Nothing begins at a word. If the worry behind the click is real, ask your clinician for the proper test.
It's fifteen minutes.

- A bottle of 60 plant-based capsules from Performance Lab Ltd of Leamington Spa, England, shipped from a depot in the United States: eleven ingredients, no caffeine, contains soy.
- Two to four capsules in the morning on an empty stomach. Thirty days at two, fifteen at four.
- One trial on the whole capsule: 49 people, 36 on the capsule, average age 31, 30 days, better immediate and delayed recall, paid for by the maker. [1]
- Citicoline at 250 milligrams, half its trial in adults 50 to 85. [2] Bacopa at 150, half its trials over 55. [3] [4] Lion's mane at 500 milligrams, a sixth of its trial. [6] Phosphatidylserine at 100 milligrams, the dose whose six-month trial came out empty. [8] Three B vitamins that Cochrane found do nothing in people who aren't deficient. [12]
- Thirty-two reviews I could read, 29 verified; the four I kept say "much more focused," and "maybe more focus but that's it."
- Ships from the US in four to ten working days; a first bottle refunded within 30 days of trying it, minus shipping.
- The cereal, three drinks, three foods and the word test from our own advertisements, in lamp ten: less sugar, less alcohol, keep the coffee, more like the Mediterranean shelf, and no test on a screen. None of it is in the capsule.
- The honest use: two capsules with a glass of water before breakfast, a notebook, and thirty days to decide whether four is worth it.
The last lampWhat Two Capsules Are Actually Worth
Here's the whole thing in one breath.
Eleven real ingredients in a clean capsule, from a company that prints every milligram and put the whole thing into a trial.
One trial, one month, thirty-six people whose average age was 31.
Two lines with good trials in men your age, at half the dose.
One line whose trial at this dose came out empty.
The rest smaller, or blank.
And 32 customers I could read, the best of whom say "maybe more focus, but that's it."
If you're a man who wants a tested capsule with no caffeine and eleven names you recognize, and you'll read the doses the way I did, that's worth a thirty-day test.
Not because of the trial.
Because of what you'll do around the capsule.
Buy one bottle, not a subscription, put a notebook next to the glass of water, and write one line a day for thirty days. The notebook is a better judge than I am.

P.S. If you take one thing from this page, take the two numbers.
Thirty-six people, average age 31, in the one trial on the bottle.
Two hundred fifty milligrams of citicoline in two capsules, against 500 in the trial that found something in men aged 50 to 85.
Everything else about this bottle sits between those two lines.
P.P.S. If the afternoon fog has been with you for a year, and it's there in the morning too, talk to your own clinician before you buy anything.
Two capsules with a glass of water is a small habit.
It was never going to answer a question a clinician answers in fifteen minutes.
P.P.P.S. And if you do order it, keep the notebook.
When the bottle is empty, you'll have thirty lines about your own mornings, and that's worth more than the bottle, whichever way the lines turn out.
