Nootropics are supplements that support cognitive health. They've been shown to boost motivation and focus, spark creativity, maintain long-term memory, balance mood, and more.

These potent ingredients—found in nature—help support cognition. Some nootropics, like Ashwagandha and Lion’s Mane, have been used for thousands of years. Others, like caffeine, may already be part of your daily routine. 

Nootropics work by increasing brain activity by delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the brain, helping brain cells communicate better and increasing neuroplasticity–how adaptable your brain is to learning and experiencing.

Consistent, long-term nootropic use fosters healthy neuron growth, improving overall brain health and function, and supporting memory, focus, and overall mental performance.

Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, Thesis offers unique formulas made with clinically studied ingredients that complement one another to target different cognitive goals. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your working memory, boost mental clarity, or stay calm under pressure, there’s a formula to meet you where you are.

You can — but we don’t recommend it. We encapsulate the ingredients because they have a strong, unpleasant taste. If you have a hard time swallowing capsules, it is perfectly safe to mix the contents into a smoothie, juice, or flavored drink to help mask the taste.

In clinical trials, none of our ingredients show negative long-term effects. Many nootropics become more effective over time due to the compounding effects on brain health and the structural integrity of neurons.

Early research studying the long-term effects of certain nootropics ingredients shows improvement in cognitive traits like memory retention, cognitive flexibility, and focus following persistent use.

A daily dose is a single packet, containing two or three brown capsules and one white capsule that contains caffeine. If you ordered a caffeine-free version, your packet will only contain the brown capsules. There are six packets in each box of your formula, e.g., Energy, Clarity, Motivation are all “formulas”. Most people take one packet per day, containing all of the capsules enclosed.

We standardize our doses across our different ingredient blends based on clinically studied dosages. However, individual factors like weight, metabolism, and tolerance can sometimes impact effectiveness.

If you want guidance on how to change the dose to reach the desired effects, give us a call so we can help adjust.

It’s important to speak with your primary medical provider before starting any new supplement or altering any course of medication. 

Thesis was designed to be taken once daily. However, we understand that your needs may vary. You can safely take up to two formulas (e.g., Energy and Creativity) in a given day if you prefer.

We recommend spacing each formula by at least 4 hours to avoid any potential interactions or absorption issues. For guidance on combining formulas safely and effectively, speak with our Customer Care Team who can tailor recommendations to your specific needs and goals. Additionally, we always recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement routine.

No, you won’t develop a dependency on any of our formulas. Because nootropics are non-habit-forming compounds, you have the flexibility to pause or stop taking them without experiencing unwanted side effects.

Everybody responds to supplements differently. Side effects are rare but possible, especially when introducing new supplements to your routine. They can include a mild upset stomach or mild headache, and are often remedied by taking your formula with food instead of on an empty stomach.
