The Brain Stack
Evidence-based cognitive support
For: Anyone wanting to support focus, memory, and long-term brain health
The nootropics market is 90% hype. This stack includes only what actually has human research for cognitive function.
TL;DR
Foundation: Omega-3 DHA, Creatine, Caffeine + L-Theanine. Long-term: Bacopa. Skip: most nootropic blends, racetams. Lifestyle (sleep, exercise) matters more than pills.
Monthly Budget
Core Stack
DHA is literally structural brain material. Chronic deficiency = smaller brain volume.
Brain uses ATP. Creatine supports ATP. Helps under stress and sleep deprivation.
Promotes calm focus. Pairs perfectly with caffeine to smooth out jitters.
Improves memory formation over 8-12 weeks. Patience required.
Optional Additions
NGF support. Promising but human evidence still limited.
When to add: If wanting to experiment with neurogenesis support
Cell membrane support. Some evidence for memory in elderly.
When to add: If 50+ and concerned about memory
Daily Schedule
Common Mistakes
- Expecting Bacopa to work in days. it takes 8-12 weeks
- Skipping DHA. it's more important than any nootropic
- Taking high-dose caffeine without L-theanine. jitters and anxiety
- Buying "brain blend" products. usually underdosed everything
What to Expect
L-theanine: immediate. Creatine: 1-2 weeks. Bacopa: 8-12 weeks. DHA: ongoing brain health.
The Bottom Line
No "Limitless" pill exists. DHA + creatine + caffeine/theanine is the most evidence-based stack. Add bacopa for long-term memory support.
