Elevate FAQs

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!*

Take 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).

If you get a headache or an uneasy stomach, try taking it with a light meal, and if you're sensitive to caffeine, start with one capsule instead of two. Intended for adults.

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.

Unwind FAQs

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.

Take two capsules two hours before going to sleep.

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.

Ageless FAQs

What are the benefits of ageless?

Where elevate is intended to promote energy and focus by boosting certain neurotransmitters, ageless was designed to support long term brain health. By combining omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and DPA), Ginkgo Biloba, and Vitamins B6/B12, Ageless ingredients work together for those looking to boost their cognitive, cardiovascular, and metabolic health in an effective and safe way.*

When should I take ageless?

For best results, we recommend taking two (2) capsules daily alongside a meal.

When will I feel the effects?

Every person is different, but most customers report feeling positive effects on their energy levels within hours. However, it is important to note that the ingredients are meant to support long-term brain health and healthy aging; therefore, many of the benefits will be felt over time.

Similar to exercising or adopting a healthy diet, you will see some benefits in the short term but when taken consistently over a long time, you will see the health benefits accumulate over time.*
