Avantera Elevate at a glance
Avantera Elevate lists all nine ingredients and every dose on the label, with no proprietary blends, and every batch is third-party tested.
- Elevate (capsules) is a nootropic supplement taken as 2 capsules a day, with 28 servings in each jar. Each serving has 95 mg of natural caffeine from green tea (about one cup of coffee) and 200 mg of L-theanine, plus bacopa, rhodiola, CDP-choline, turmeric, lion's mane, ginger and BioPerine black pepper extract. The full label is below.
- Made in the USA in an FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility. Third-party test results are on our quality page.
- Elevate Gummies (sour blue raspberry) have 7 ingredients, 3 gummies per serving and the same 95 mg of natural caffeine, from green coffee bean extract. Elevate Gummies are a separate product with their own label. Reviews of Elevate Gummies before September 2026 describe an older formula. The capsules vs gummies comparison puts both labels side by side.
- On this page, "Elevate" on its own means the capsules.

Three reviews from the Elevate product page
4 out of 5 stars, verified buyer: "I’ve been off caffeine for a month, so the first day I did feel it! But after that it was a steady energy with good focus!"
Samantha S.
5 out of 5 stars, verified buyer: "Elevates has all I need to jump start me in the morning and carry me through the day. Energy and focus are key to me and this product makes it quick, simple and easy every morning."
Mark C.
5 out of 5 stars, verified buyer: "I love the way it makes me feel!! I have more energy and don't feel like I need a nap in the afternoon. I also feel as though my brain fog is getting a little better and I can get more done at work. I will definitely be buying this again. I just wish it wasn't so expensive."

What independent reviewers and press say
- Innerbody Research named Elevate Gummies "Best gummy" in its best nootropics guide (last updated September 13, 2026), calling them "the best nootropic gummy product on the market based on our research."
- mindbodygreen: Deputy Commerce Editor Braelyn Wood wrote that "nothing boosted my focus like taking Avantera elevate" (July 31, 2025). She took the capsules before the 2026 lion's mane change.
- USA Today, contributor content: "Nine ingredients now appear with their exact amounts per serving, with no blends masking the numbers," wrote contributor Jason Phillips (October 7, 2025).

What critics say, and what's true today
Some of the most-read reviews of Elevate were written about older formulas. Here is each common criticism, where it comes from, and what the current label says.
| Criticism | Where it comes from | What's true today |
|---|---|---|
| "The lion's mane isn't an extract, and 100 mg is too little." | Innerbody's Elevate review, last updated December 5, 2025 | In 2026 the lion's mane changed from 100 mg of lion's mane powder (not an extract) to 50 mg of an organic 10:1 extract derived from 500 mg of lion's mane, standardized to 30% polysaccharides. Read the 50 mg as extract weight: at 10:1, it comes from 500 mg of mushroom. |
| "The rhodiola isn't standardized." | Innerbody's Elevate review, December 5, 2025 | The current label lists rhodiola root extract at 300 mg, standardized to 3% salidrosides. |
| "The gummies are a different formula, with huperzine A." | Innerbody's Elevate review, December 5, 2025 | That review describes the decaffeinated Elevate Gummies, which are no longer sold on avanterahealth.com. The Elevate Gummies sold since September 2026 contain no huperzine A. Innerbody's September 2026 guide names them its best gummy. |
| "That's the caffeine you feel." | Nootropics Expert, May 29, 2026 | Partly right. The effect most people notice in the first hour comes from 95 mg of natural caffeine (about one cup of coffee) paired with 200 mg of L-theanine. Bacopa (300 mg, 50% bacosides) and rhodiola (300 mg, 3% salidrosides) are there for support that builds with daily use over several weeks.* |
| "Several ingredients are underdosed." | Nootropics Expert, May 29, 2026; Innerbody, December 5, 2025 | Every dose is on the label, so you can compare each one with the research yourself. Our dose-by-dose page lists them. |
| "Subscription and billing complaints." | BBB complaints | BBB lists 9 complaints in the last 3 years (3 in the last 12 months), and shows each one as answered or resolved. Avantera holds an A+ BBB rating and is not BBB-accredited. You can pause, skip or cancel anytime from your account, and the money-back guarantee covers first orders (details below). |
Side effects and who it's not for
Each serving of Elevate has 95 mg of natural caffeine with 200 mg of L-theanine. The side effects people mention most are the ones you would expect from caffeine, like jitters or restlessness if you are sensitive to it. Some people notice mild stomach upset when they first start herbal extracts like bacopa.
- When to take it: two capsules within the first hour of waking, on an empty stomach or with a light meal. For Elevate Gummies, the product page says three gummies in the morning or early afternoon.
- If you're sensitive to caffeine: start with one capsule to see how you feel before taking the full two-capsule serving.
- Count your total caffeine: 95 mg is about one cup of coffee, on top of any coffee, tea or energy drinks you already have.
The cautions on the Elevate product page read: "Not for use in children under 12. Consult a healthcare professional before using if under 18, nursing, pregnant, taking medication, or if you have a medical condition. Do not take this product if you have liver disease or elevated liver enzymes." For Elevate Gummies, the label's suggested use is for healthy adults 18 or older.
So Elevate is not for you if you want to avoid caffeine, or if you have liver disease or elevated liver enzymes. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition, talk with your healthcare professional before you start. If something doesn't feel right, stop taking it and check with them.

What customers say, and common questions
We picked the quotes below from customer reviews and show them as written. They are individual experiences, and yours may differ. The full spread of ratings is in the table above.
"I love Elevate! Nice clean energy and focus without jitters or a mid afternoon crash. I’m a lifetime fan for sure!"
Kathy C.
"I have just recently started Elevate and so far I am totally in awe! I love the clarity I have with just everyday thoughts. I am definitely more relaxed and less overwhelmed. It has definitely made a difference in improving my gut health as well. So far so good! I can’t wait to see what a month with this supplement looks like! Very happy customer :)"

How long does it take for Avantera Elevate to work?
Take two capsules within the first hour of waking, on an empty stomach or with a light meal. Many customers say they notice something within 20 to 30 minutes of the first dose; that early effect comes from the caffeine and L-theanine. Research on ingredients like bacopa and CDP-choline suggests the full benefits take more than 30 days of consistent daily use.*
"I have energy and focus within 15 minutes of taking this product. I work 10 hour days at a busy pharmacy and I can always count on Avantera Elevate to pull me through."
Pam W.
Does Elevate help with focus?
Elevate is formulated to support focus and mental clarity.* The 95 mg of natural caffeine and 200 mg of L-theanine are the part you notice in the first hours. Bacopa monnieri (300 mg, standardized to 50% bacosides) supports cognition and working memory, with effects that build over several weeks of daily use.* Experiences vary from person to person.
"This stuff is GREAT! It helps me focus as you can tell from my picture. It is really a nice ELEVATED experience throughout the day. It goes great with my work. It helps me concentrate, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a bump up to the next bar of heightened senses."
Christopher C.
"Helped my husband and I both to get more done and focused in our daily tasks. I love the way it makes me feel. Helps me be more alert and intentional."
Elaina L.
How much caffeine is in Elevate?
Elevate (capsules) has 95 mg of natural caffeine from green tea in each two-capsule serving, about one cup of coffee, paired with 200 mg of L-theanine. Elevate Gummies have the same 95 mg, from green coffee bean extract, in each three-gummy serving. Each label lists 95 mg; neither form comes in a lower-caffeine version. The decaffeinated Elevate Gummies are no longer sold on avanterahealth.com, so every Elevate product we sell today contains caffeine.
How much energy will I get from Avantera Elevate?
Elevate's energy comes from 95 mg of natural caffeine, about one cup of coffee, paired with 200 mg of L-theanine, which promotes calm alertness.* Customers often describe it as steady rather than intense. People respond to caffeine differently, so if you also drink coffee, tea or energy drinks, count Elevate's 95 mg in your daily total. If you're sensitive to caffeine, start with one capsule.
"Really nice, calm, clear energy. Not overstimulating and intense. I felt it aids in positive emotions and just all around beneficial."
Jennifer P.
"I have been taking Elevate for 1 week and love it so far. I feel like my morning energy level has increased, and I'm more motivated to wake up and immediately start tasks without crashing shortly after."
Rawls A.
"I purchased this product for my husband and I can say there are no words to describe how amazing this has been for him. The level of energy was visible from day one and it does help with brain fog, more than we expected. He is very happy with the results."
Emma R.
Are Elevate (capsules) and Elevate Gummies the same product?
No. Elevate Gummies are a separate product with their own label. Both have 95 mg of natural caffeine, 200 mg of L-theanine and 200 mg of CDP-choline per serving. The gummies take three per serving, leave out ginger and black pepper, and list bacopa and rhodiola as 10:1 extracts equivalent to 300 mg each, which is measured differently from the capsules' 300 mg standardized extracts. Reviews of Elevate Gummies before September 2026 describe an older formula.
Can I cancel, and can I get a refund?
Yes, you can pause, skip or cancel anytime from your account, with no phone call, no cancellation fee and no minimum term. The 30-day money-back guarantee covers your first order of a product bought on avanterahealth.com. Renewal orders aren't covered, so cancel or skip before your next charge date if you don't want the next shipment.
