- L-Theanine
- Huperzine
Caffeine
Dose Per Gummy 100MG
Caffeine has an impact on adenosine receptors in our brain. Adenosine causes muscle relaxation and sleepiness when it acts on these receptors. Caffeine blocks the adenosine from binding to these receptors, and when it does, it prevents the adenosine from building up, preventing the feeling of fatigue and drowsiness.

Primary Study
This is a human trial on caffeine consumers at different dosages (0mg, 12.5mg, 25mg, 50 mg, and 100mg) and its effect on cognitive performance. The study shows that after overnight caffeine abstinence, caffeine can significantly affect cognitive performance and mood at doses within and even lower than the range of amounts of caffeine contained in a single serving of popular caffeine-containing drinks.
Additional Study
This study on non-dependent caffeine consumers tested mood, alertness, and cognitive performance. The data showed that with caffeine supplementation, the participants had an increased number of hits and decreased reaction times in a vigilance task. This data suggests an increase in mental performance and significantly increased feelings of subjective positive mood. It's worth noting that this test also shows that when caffeine is supplemented alone, it can impair performance on memory-based tasks.
Ornithine
Dose Per Gummy 200MG
Ornithine is an amino acid involved in the urea cycle. Your body uses ornithine to
make polyamines (which play a role in cell growth and proliferation) and the amino
acid proline (used to make collagen). Preliminary evidence suggests that ornithine supplementation can improve athletic performance by reducing elevated levels of ammonia.
Primary study
L-ornithine supplementation attenuates physical fatigue in healthy volunteers by modulating
lipid and amino acid metabolism
Additional study
L-ornithine supplementation has the potential to relieve stress and
improve sleep quality related to fatigue, both objectively and subjectively.
Alpha GPC
Dose Per Gummy 100MG
Alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC or α-GPC) is a cholinergic compound
that is used for cognitive enhancement and to increase power output in athletes. It
appears to also support cellular membranes, and may help prevent cognitive decline.
Primary study
A-GPC is effective at increasing lower body force production after 6 days of supplementation. Sport performance coaches can consider adding A-GPC to the diet of speed and power athletes to enhance muscle performance.
L-Theanine
Dose Per Gummy 50MG
L-theanine is thought to enhance alpha-wave activity in the brain. The relaxed but alert mental state associated with alpha waves can promote creativity, focus, and attention. Human electroencephalograph (EEG) studies have provided evidence that L-theanine has a direct impact on these waves in the brain. The alpha frequency band activity is increased by L-theanine, indicating that it relaxes the mind without causing drowsiness.

Primary Study
This physical study on young adults tested L-theanine and caffeine in conjunction with one another on a plethora of cognitive-behavioural tasks. When combined and supplemented, those who took caffeine and L-theanine saw an increase in accuracy during task switching tests and subjective alertness and tiredness, showing that the combination helps focus attention during arduous cognitive tasks.
Additional Study
This study tested healthy, young participants using an electroencephalograph (EEG) to measure their brainwave activity while supplementing L-theanine. The data this study provided suggests that L-theanine has a significant effect on the brain's state of alertness and awakeness.
Huperzine
Dose Per Gummy 100MG
Huperzine-A is a cognitive enhancer that inhibits an enzyme that degrades the learning neurotransmitter, acetylcholine; due to this, a relative increase occurs. It belongs to the cholinergics class of molecules, and may be useful in fighting
cognitive decline in the elderly.
Primary Study
Effect of Huperzine A on Cognitive Function and Perception of Effort
during Exercise: A Randomized Double-Blind Crossover Trial
