Ingredients (2,180 milligrams per serving)
Alpha-GPC (300 milligrams per serving)
Alpha-glycerophosphocholine (also known as alpha-GPC and glycerophosphocholine) is a compound of two molecules: choline and glycerophosphate.
Choline is a nutrient that’s vital for brain health and function, and glycerophosphate is a substance found in the membrane of neurons (nerve cells) that helps transport choline to the brain.
When ingested, alpha-GPC increases the activity of a chemical in the brain known as acetylcholine, which is used by nerves to communicate with each other and provides the brain with glycerophosphate, which can improve its health and function.
Research shows that supplementation with alpha-GPC . . .
- Increases power output[1]
- Protects against cognitive decline as we age[2]
- Increases growth hormone levels[3]
The clinically effective dose of alpha-GPC is between 150 and 1,200 milligrams, with 250 to 500 milligrams sufficient for cognitive benefits and higher doses required for affecting dementia.[4]

Avena Sativa (800 milligrams per serving)
Avena sativa is a plant whose stem and leaves have long been used to treat psychological maladies such as insomnia and anxiety.
Research shows that it positively influences brain function in a variety of ways, which is why studies show that supplementation with Avena sativa . . .
- Boosts cognitive performance and “mental fitness” (even in people with compromised cognitive function)[5][6]
- Increases executive function (controlling your mind and behavior)[7]
- Enhances spatial working memory (short-term memory of information related to locations)[8]
- Increases alertness and learning performance[9]
- Reduces the negative effects of multitasking on cognitive performance[10]
Research also shows that while a single dose of Avena sativa can provide benefits, results may improve with continued use.[11][12]
The clinically effective dose of Avena sativa is between 800 and 1,600 mg, with most of the benefits occurring at the lower end of this range.[13][14]

Uridine Monophosphate (250 milligrams per serving)
Uridine monophosphate is a compound of two molecules: uridine and phosphoric acid.
Uridine is a substance known as a nucleotide that’s involved in the production of the genetic material ribonucleic acid (RNA) and that supports and enhances the growth and function of neurons (nerve cells).[15][16]
Phosphoric acid is a substance that helps the body create phosphatidylcholine.
While human research on uridine is currently sparse, the data we do have suggests that it can . . .
- Enhance neuron growth[17]
- Preserve memory by protecting the brain from damage[18][19][20]
- Reduce mental fatigue[21]
- Reduce the time it takes to fall asleep[22]
- Improve sleep quality[23]
The clinically effective dose of uridine monophosphate hasn’t been established yet, but 250 milligrams is the human equivalent of what has produced benefits in animal research.

Bacopa Monnieri (330 milligrams per serving)
Bacopa monnieri is an herb that has long been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to aid memory and treat various neurological disorders.
It contains substances known as bacosides that stimulate the secretion of two types of chemicals in the brain known as brain growth factors (brain-derived neurotrophic factor or BDNF, and nerve growth factor or NGF), which help neurons connect, grow, and proliferate.
Research shows that supplementation with bacopa monnieri . . .
- Improves memory and cognition[24][25][26][27][28]
- Enhances mood[29]
- Reduces stress and depressive symptoms[30]
The clinically effective dose of bacopa monnieri is between 200 and 400 milligrams depending on its bacoside content.

Agmatine (500 milligrams per serving)
Agmatine is a chemical produced by the brain and found in some fermented foods.
It helps protect neurons (nerve cells) against damage and interacts with the pain and pleasure pathways in the brain.
While human research on agmatine is currently sparse, the data we do have suggests it can enhance the activity of serotonin in the brain, which can enhance mood and reduce the depressive effects of stress.[31][32]
The clinically effective dose of agmatine hasn’t been established yet, but the nootropic range appears to be between 1.6 and 6.4 milligrams per kilogram of body weight, or 110 to 440 milligrams for a 150-pound person.[33]
