Say goodbye to brain fog and get focused.
Say goodbye to brain fog and get focused.
Acetylcholine, the "learning neurotransmitter", plays a key role in optimal cognitive functions specifically through improving attention-span, memory, and quick-thinking.[14]
Lightning-Fast Mental Accuracy & Speed
To optimize acetycholine levels, we've included ALCAR and Cognizin®.
ALCAR has been shown to boost memory, alertness, and problem-solving.[15] Cognizin® boosts acetylcholine levels in the brain. Studies have shown that Cognizin® improved focus, accuracy, specifically increasing the formation of brain membranes by 26% and brain energy utilization by 13.6%.[16] [17]
metaFOCUS can help you enter the elusive flow state while eradicating brain fog.
flow state noun
/ flō ˈstāt /
the brain’s optimal state of consciousness where an individual utilizes their skills to the utmost. In this state, individuals feel, perform, and focus at their best.
Key Compounds FOR Flow State
DMAE
Phosphatidylserine
Phosphatidylserine has been shown to reduce cortisol, the "stress hormone", eradicating the stress that can hinder you in achieving flow state.[11]
Dl-Phenylalanine
In flow, the brain releases key neurotransmitters which Phenylalanine are the building blocks for.
DL-Phenylalanine can also help reduce brain fog due to how it binds with glutamate AMPA receptors, improving communication between brain synapses.[12]
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
ALCAR has been shown to induce mental clarity and combat mental fatigue, supporting you in reaching flow.[13]
In a decade-long study conducted by McKinsey and Co. top executives found themselves 500% more productive when in flow.

8 NOOTROPIC COMPOUNDS
Artichoke Extract
300 mg (5% cynarins)
Luteolin, found in artichoke extract inhibits PDE4, which increases cAMP. Higher cAMP levels is correlated with improving learning, memory, and mood.[1]
FORSKOLIN
15 mg (20% forskolii)
Forskolin naturally increases cAMP levels synergizing with luteolin to strengthen neural synapses, also known as long-term potentiation improving cognitive function over time.[2]
Acetyl-l-carnitine
350 mg
ALCAR improves mitochondrial function and increase levels of noradrenaline, associated with focus and alertness. It has also been shown to be effective in reducing brain fog.[3]
SHARP-PS®

DMAE is a compound that has been shown to positively affect mood, enhance memory, and improve brain function.[5]
DL-PHENYLALANINE
240 mg
Phenylalanine is an amino acid that has been shown to produce improved attention-span, mood, and motivation.[6]
Cognizin®
100 mg
Cognizin® modulates levels of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter, which helps nerves to communicate, increase attention-span, and memory capacity.[7]
PQQ
10 mg
PQQ is a nootropic that has been shown to increase the number of mitochondria and improve their efficiency, leading to improved memory, sleep & energy.[8]
4 BRAIN VITAMINS
Vitamin b5
20 mg (pantothenic acid)
Essential for converting cholinergic nootropics into acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter responsible for focus, memory, and learning.[9]
Vitamin b6
5 mg (pyridoxal 5’-phosphate)
An essential vitamin which is required for the biosynthesis of several key neurotransmitters. We use P5P, one of the most bioactive forms of B6.[9]
Vitamin b9
1665 mcg (folic acid)
B9 is required for the synthesis of key neurotransmitters such as serotonin, playing an integral role in improving mood and cognitive function.[9]
Vitamin b12
100 mcg (methylcobalamin)
B12 is crucial for the synthesis of key neurotransmitters. Optimizing these neurotransmitters improve our mood, energy, and stress levels.[9]
Reduce stress to attain zen-like concentration.
Don’t let stress interrupt your workflow. metaFOCUS can help nullify mental stressors effectively and boost your productivity.
That’s why we’ve incorporated Sharp-PS® into our formula, a trademarked version of PhosphatidylSerine (PS), standardized to 60%. PS is a nootropic that plays a critical role in improving mental performance and reducing the body’s physiological response to stress by lowering cortisol levels.[18]
DL-Phenylalanine has been shown to enhance overall mood and improve ability to handle stress.[19]
PS Golfing Accuracy Study
PhosphatidylSerine supplementation significantly improved the ball flight accuracy of golfers as compared to the group that was given the placebo supplements.
PS Golfing Stress Levels Study
PhosphatidylSerine supplementation improved perceived stress levels during tee-off on a driving range, while perceived stress levels remained unchanged in the placebo group.

United StatesSo far so good.
Not quite the "flow state' experience others have described, but definitely more focused, and absolutely none of the terrible "come down". Willing to try another month to see if effects sustain or increase.
