Avantera Frequently Asked Questions
Where are your products manufactured?
We manufacture our products in a FDA registered, GMP certified facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. 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.
Do you offer free samples?
Currently we don't offer free samples, although we do offer something even better! We recognize that certain supplements are not for everyone, therefore we offer a 30 day money back guarantee. Meaning you can try elevate for a month risk free!
Are your products vegan?
Yes! We have prioritized selecting and sourcing the highest quality ingredients that are not only Vegan but also Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free, and Non-GMO.
Are the ingredients clinically studied?
Yes! In working with doctors, nutritionists, and food scientists to come up with our products, we only selected ingredients that have substantial scientific research backing up our claims. If you would like to read more, go to our Ingredients + Benefits page where we link to relevant clinical studies for each ingredient.
Are your products 3rd party tested?
Yes! 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.
Are your ingredients and dosages transparent?
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.
What are the exact ingredient dosages in Elevate, and why do you use proprietary blends?
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. Each dosage is based on peer-reviewed research showing cognitive benefits. 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.
What quality controls and manufacturing standards does Avantera follow?
We manufacture our products in FDA-registered facilities in Utah and Florida that maintain pharmaceutical-grade quality with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certification, FDA registration with regular inspections, third-party auditing, and NSF standards compliance. Our quality control process includes testing every ingredient batch for purity, potency, heavy metals, and microbiological safety; real-time manufacturing monitoring; in-process testing at critical control points; and final third-party lab verification of label claims. We source ingredients from trusted global suppliers with complete supply chain documentation and traceability. Premium glass bottles protect ingredient potency with tamper-evident seals and child-resistant caps. We publish third-party test results for each batch.

Elevate FAQs
What are Nootropics?
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!*

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.

Our 30-day money-back guarantee gives you time to properly assess the benefits.

Unwind FAQs
What are Adaptogens?
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.
When should I take Unwind?
Take two capsules two hours before going to sleep.
Will Unwind make me drowsy the next day?
Everyone is different, however customers report feeling more energized when they wake up, not drowsy. Unwind is not intended to be a strong sleep supplement. Instead, we're focused on long term health benefits like supporting healthy stress levels, immune function, memory and deeper sleep. All very important when it comes to long term brain health. Better REM sleep is just another one of those benefits (get ready to have some vivid dreams!).*
elevate gummies Frequently Asked Questions
Is there caffeine?
Elevate gummies are decaffeinated. Don’t worry about losing sleep with these. If you are looking for a caffeine option, check out our elevate capsules which contain 95mg of caffeine from green tea extract.
Do elevate gummies contain sugar?
Elevate gummies have 0g of sugar. Each serving size contains 6g of sugar alcohols. Sugar alcohols are often used as lower calorie sweeteners in sugar-free items. They do not contain ethanol, and they’re thus safe for people who prefer to avoid alcohol. Sugar alcohols are found naturally in some fruits and vegetables, such as plums, strawberries, and avocado.
We ultimately chose to use this in our gummies to give them a desirable taste without using added sugars as most gummies on the market choose. Sugar alcohols also affect blood sugar levels less significantly, making them a suitable alternative for people with diabetes.
What are Nootropics?
Nootropics, also known as smart drugs, are substances people use to improve focus, memory, and mental clarity. They range from prescription medications to natural supplements.*
Elevate is a blend of nootropics that works differently. It supports your brain's acetylcholine pathway, the system responsible for calm, clear thinking. So you get sustained focus without the jitters, crashes, or intensity of stimulants. Real clarity, no chaos.*

Elevate gummies are designed to support and enhance cognitive functions such as memory, focus, creativity, and overall mental clarity.* Additionally, elevate gummies can help support stress management.*
Our goal in formulating elevate gummies is for people to experience not only cognitive improvements but also an enhanced sense of well-being.*
When should I take elevate gummies and when will I feel effects?
You should take elevate within the first hour of waking up on an empty stomach or with a light meal.
Every person is different, but most customers report feeling positive effects immediately (within 20-30 minutes) after taking elevate gummies. That said, clinical research on ingredients like Bacopa and Rhodiola suggest that people won't get the full benefits until they have been taking these ingredients consistently for over 30 days.*
