FAQs

General Questions

What are nootropics?
Nootropics are natural or synthetic substances that enhance cognitive function, including focus, memory, energy, and mental clarity. Our nootropics are derived from powerful mushrooms and botanicals that support brain health naturally.

Are these legal?
Yes! Our products contain no psilocybin or psychoactive substances. Every ingredient we use is legal, natural, and safe for daily use.

Are nootropics safe?
Our nootropics are made from high-quality, natural ingredients with a long history of traditional use. That said, everyone's body is different—if you have any health conditions or take medications, we recommend consulting your doctor before use.

Do nootropics work immediately, or do I need to take them over time?
Some nootropics, like Guarana and L-Theanine, provide immediate effects (such as energy and focus). Others, like Lion’s Mane and Reishi, work over time by supporting long-term brain health. Many people notice improvements within days to weeks of consistent use.

Usage & Best Practices

How do I take these?
Our nootropics are currently only offered in capsule form. To make taking them easier, we individually package each dose so that 1 bag = 1 dose. Check the recommended dosage on the packaging for best results.

Can I take these every day?
Yes! All of our ingredients are safe for daily use, though some people prefer cycling (taking breaks) to maintain effectiveness and prevent tolerance buildup. Our recommended approach follows a 5 days on, 2 days off weekly cycle, but you can adjust based on your needs.

Should I take nootropics with food?
Some nootropics (like Lion’s Mane) are best absorbed with food, while others (like Guarana) work well on an empty stomach. We recommend experimenting to see what works best for you.

Can I combine these with coffee or tea?
Absolutely! Many people stack L-Theanine with caffeine for calm, focused energy. However, if you’re sensitive to stimulants, be mindful of Guarana’s natural caffeine content.

Nootropic Terminology

What is a stack?
A "stack" is a combination of nootropics designed to work together for enhanced benefits. For example, our Focus stack blends Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, and Chaga to support mental clarity and cognitive performance, while our Relax stack pairs Reishi and Cordyceps to promote relaxation with balanced energy.

What is a protocol?
A protocol is a structured plan for when and how to take your nootropics. While some people take nootropics daily, others follow specific cycles, like Paul Stamets’ method (4 days on, 3 days off for 5 weeks, followed by 2 weeks off). Our stacks are designed for a 5-on, 2-off weekly cycle, but feel free to experiment and find what works best for you.

What’s the difference between adaptogens and nootropics?
Adaptogens help your body resist stress and restore balance, while nootropics specifically enhance brain function. Some ingredients, like Reishi and Cordyceps, fall into both categories!

Product-Specific Questions

Are your mushrooms organic?
Yes! We source high-quality, organic mushrooms to ensure purity and potency.

Do your products contain caffeine?
Our formulas with Guarana contain natural caffeine (~22% by weight). If you prefer a caffeine-free option, check our ingredient list.

If you would be interested in non-caffeinated variants of any of our stacks, please reach out using our contact form.

Are your nootropics safe for vegetarians/vegans?
All of our ingredients are plant-based, but check individual product labels for capsule materials (some may contain gelatin).

Can I take these if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
We recommend consulting a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any medical conditions.
