Brain & Focus Formula

One of the most comprehensive cognitive support formulas in the Nitrolithic Labs lineup. It combines a full multivitamin base with a targeted nootropic stack — covering both the nutritional prerequisites for healthy brain function and the specific neurotransmitter mechanisms that govern focus, memory, and mental clarity.

What's inside and why it matters:

1. Full multivitamin base: B vitamins, vitamins A, C, D, E, magnesium, zinc, chromium, and more. Essential for neural energy metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis.
2. Phosphatidylserine: A structural component of neuron membranes. Multiple clinical trials show improvements in memory recall and cognitive speed.
3. Huperzine A: Inhibits acetylcholinesterase, prolonging availability of acetylcholine — the key memory and attention neurotransmitter.
4. Bacopa Extract: Well-documented for memory formation and retention in randomized controlled trials. Effects accumulate over 8-12 weeks.
5. DMAE and Choline: Direct precursors to acetylcholine, supporting the cholinergic system central to attention and memory.
6. DHA: Omega-3 fatty acid essential for neuron membrane structure and synaptic plasticity.

Here's the Science

Phosphatidylserine has among the strongest evidence of any nootropic compound. A 2010 randomized trial in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition found that phosphatidylserine supplementation significantly improved memory and cognitive function in older adults over 6 months. The FDA has allowed a qualified health claim for phosphatidylserine, stating it may reduce the risk of cognitive dysfunction in the elderly.

Huperzine A is derived from Huperzia serrata moss. A 1999 randomized trial published in Zhongguo Yao Li Xue Bao found significant improvements in memory and learning in adolescents and in patients with memory impairment. The mechanism — acetylcholinesterase inhibition — is the same used by several prescription cognitive medications, though Huperzine A is gentler and shorter-acting.

The DHA content matters. A 2011 study in Alzheimer's and Dementia found that DHA supplementation slowed cognitive decline in adults with mild cognitive impairment who had low baseline DHA levels.

Note: This formula contains soy and fish (tuna). Contains iron — keep out of reach of children. Not for use by pregnant or nursing women without medical supervision.
