FAQs

Our products are made in the USA, in FDA-registered, GMP-certified facilities in Utah and Florida, with globally sourced ingredients. Also, our ingredients are sourced through a consistent network of suppliers to ensure that quality and potency through each production run stays consistent. Each material that enters the facility must go through a series of tests to ensure purity and potency, heavy metals and microbials all match the Certificate of Analysis provided by our suppliers. Upon completion of production, we hire an independent 3rd party to do additional testing and ensure all proper label claims are met as well as a final quality control evaluation.

Currently we don't offer free samples. We recognize that certain supplements are not for everyone, so your first order of each product is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

Except for ageless, our products have full ingredient and dosage transparency. You can find ageless's exact formula on our Ingredients page. Each ingredient selected has been the subject of many clinical studies.

We understand transparency is crucial when choosing a cognitive supplement. We have published our ingredient dosages in the past and our new elevate formula in 2025 has a fully transparent label. In other words, no proprietary blends. Every dose is printed on the label, so you can compare it with the published research. Previously, we used proprietary blends to protect our unique formulation ratios, but based on customer feedback demanding transparency, we've made the decision to fully disclose all dosages. You can review each ingredient on our ingredients page.

Nootropics are a cognitive technology that includes some foods & supplements. The term was conceived from the Romanian psychologist and chemist, Corneliu Giurgea in 1972. Giurgea identified the main features of the nootropic profile to consist of the following:

1. Enhancement of learning acquisition – Support brain learning and memory*

2. Support healthy brain function*

3. Facilitation of inter hemispheric transfer of information – Support brain processing power*

4. Increased tonic, cortico-subcortical 'control' – Support brain focus and attention*

5. Absence of unwanted pharmacological effects*

In short, Nootropics support brain health, cognitive function, and overall well-being. Every year, more research is released on the effects of Nootropics but we are still at the infant stages of learning all the amazing benefits of Nootropics!*

Every person is different, but most customers report feeling positive effects immediately (within 20-30 minutes).

Elevate contains 95mg of natural caffeine from green tea extract per serving - that's about the same caffeine in a standard 8oz cup of coffee (80-95mg). Our formula includes 200mg of L-Theanine, which works synergistically with caffeine to promote calm alertness without anxiety. This combination creates what users describe as "clean energy" - focused alertness without jitters.* Unlike energy drinks or coffee alone, Elevate's adaptogenic ingredients support sustained cognitive function for hours without an afternoon crash.* Many customers enjoy Elevate with their morning coffee, though you may find you need less caffeine overall. If you're sensitive to caffeine, start with one capsule instead of the full two-capsule serving.

Most customers report feeling positive effects within 20-30 minutes including increased mental clarity, reduced brain fog, enhanced mood, and sustained energy without jitters.* Short-term benefits (1-2 weeks) include improved working memory, better stress management, and more consistent energy levels.* Clinical research on key ingredients like Bacopa Monnieri and CDP Choline shows that full cognitive benefits develop with consistent use over 30+ days, including memory improvements and enhanced learning capacity.* If you don't feel initial effects, try taking Elevate on an empty stomach or with a light meal - some individuals require a "loading phase" with effects becoming more noticeable after 7-14 days. The 30-day money-back guarantee on your first order gives you time to assess it.

Adaptogens are a select group of herbs (and some mushrooms) that support the body's natural ability to deal with stress.* They are called adaptogens because of their unique ability to “adapt” their function according to the specific needs of the body. This may be physical, chemical or biological needs.

Elevate kids gummies do not have any caffeine. All of our ingredients are generally considered safe for consumption for kids.

Elevate Kids gummies contain just 2g of added sugar. We set out to make a sugar-free version, but after taste testing we landed on this small amount, because if kids don't love how it tastes, they won't take it. And they really do love it.

It’s hard to escape distractions in today’s world, so elevate kids gummies were made to help give our kids the best chance to thrive.
