PRODUCT FAQs
What makes BRAINSUPREME unique?
BRAINSUPREME is unique not only in the efficacy of its products, but in the history of how those products came to exist.
We set out to create the ultimate life-optimizing supplements. We wanted to create products with immediate noticeable benefit from their very first use, and whose beneficial impact only continued to grow with continued use.
We started off by growing a wide range of our own functional mushrooms, while simultaneously reading dozens of research papers at the National Institutes of Health on different adaptogens and ergogenics. We bought our own equipment to dry and process our harvests and to manufacture our own capsules.
And just as we were able to start experimenting and making our own formulations - in March 2020 the Covid lockdowns began. Bored out of our brains like everyone else, concerned for our own mental health and that of friends and loved ones in isolation, we started self-experimenting on ourselves and our friends to unlock the keys to important questions. What made us genuinely feel happier? What gave us energy, or focus? What dosages of these allowed us to work from home all day long with maximum performance, creativity, and satisfaction? What combinations and dosages noticeably gave us these benefits immediately? What was the supporting science behind all of this?
By the time the lockdowns ended almost 20 months later we had a foundation, knowledge, a range of different "prototype" products with different uses and a loyal following of people that had told us how we changed their lives and made them happier and more content. Friends and family that had quit drinking alcohol while using our products. People that had overcome PTSD, stopped having night sweats and terrors. People dealing with autism-spectrum issues that felt calmer and more confident or at ease in social situations. People whose workouts and health had gotten better. Elderly family members and people that reported markedly improved cognition. People whose life satisfaction had improved.
All of this during lockdowns that had negatively impacted the mental health of so many millions of other people. So we knew we had something, something powerful that could benefit others and help meaningfully change their lives for the better.
And so it began, born of passion and belief. We don't exist to take your money with slick packaging and all the latest nutraceutical buzzwords and fashionable ingredients. We exist to make people's lives genuinely better and, in all honesty, so we can keep regularly taking these products ourselves and giving them to friends and family as we all continue to improve our own wellness, creativity, and life-satisfaction.
Since then we've been perfecting, optimizing and fine tuning. Those years of lockdown and research and continuous feedback from over 1,000 loyal users resulted in the BRAINSUPREME products we are offering today. We use and love them and what they do for our lives passionately, you will too.
WE GROW OUR OWN RANGE OF FUNCTIONAL MUSHROOMS and incorporate those into our BRAINSUPREME blend at optimized dosages and then combine that blend with the highest quality combinations of functional herbs, amino acids, nutrients and adaptogens that feed your brain, body and emotions in ways that we believe are entirely unique and hugely effective.
See our testimonials. They are why we can confidently say BRAINSUPREME is the shit. Next Level Shit.
Where do you source your mushrooms?
WE GROW OUR OWN organic, biodynamic functional mushrooms for our proprietary mushroom blend in our own facility and we only use the fruiting body in our formulations.
What are Nootropics?
Nootropics, also known as "cognitive enhancers," are substances or compounds that are used to enhance cognitive function, including memory, creativity, motivation and executive function.
Some common examples of nootropics include: Caffeine, L-Theanine, Ginkgo Biloba, Omega-3 fatty acids, and Functional Mushrooms like Chaga, Reishi, Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, Psilocybe Cubensis, Amanita Muscaria, Maitake and more.
What are Adaptogens & Ergogenics?
Adaptogens are plants and herbs that have the ability to increase your body's capacity to deal with stress, promote vitality, stabilize mood and improve focus and performance. Ergogenics are intended to enhance physical performance, stamina, or recovery. Well known adaptogens are ginseng, ashwagandha, reishi, chaga. Well known ergogenics include caffeine, ashwagandha, rhodiola rosea, cordyceps and many amino acids.
How much should I take?
Taking a combination of Functional Mushrooms, Adaptogens and Ergogenics is a personal process and involves a bit of education and experimentation–it’s also not based on body weight, it’s based on individual neurological needs and brain chemistry.
For the majority of our customers, the feedback we receive is the most effective dosing seems to happen between 100-200 mg per dose per day (1 to 2 capsules of BrainSupreme). Most customers have shared with us that over time they have self-experimented with even higher doses, which may be perfectly fine in moderation, but that over time and continued use they settle back into a regular use of 1-2 capsules per dose per day.
Each BrainSupreme capsule has 500 mg of total volume..which includes amino acids, herbs, adaptogens, ergogenics, nutrients… and… 100 to 125 mg of our proprietary BRAINSUPREME mushroom blend.
The dosages of BRAINSUPREME mushroom blend for each of our products is as follows:
GENIUS-100 mg.
Brains+Balls- 100 mg.
Feel Good-125 mg.
**The Black Stack- 250 mg.
We suggest you start with one capsule a day, 100mg of active ingredient, and then scale up until you’ve found your personal “sweet spot” for focus, creativity, energy… whatever your most desired outcome is. The sweet spot for most people tends to be around 100 to 200 mg per day (1 to 2 capsules of BRAINSUPREME). For some people that might not be effective enough, while for others 300 mgs can be too much. Start slowly and find what works best for you through self experimentation over time.
It is not recommended to take more than 4 capsules per day, and frankly, we do not believe you need to consume that much to bring the full benefits of BRAINSUPREME to improve your life in a powerful and meaningful way. More is not necessarily better, but you will learn what works best for you over time.
What is the "Sweet Spot"?
The BRAINSUPREME sweet spot is defined as a noticeable improvement in brain function, mood, energy and/or emotional well-being. You should feel more “in” control than “out” of control. You should feel calm, balanced and at ease, not "jittery" in any way.
Our mission is for BRAINSUPREME to put you in your “Flow State” - the mental state in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. You will know when you are in your Flow State - it feels like you can take on anything and genuinely want to. Being in a Flow State can help you take control and achieve success in every area of your life; career, fitness, goals and dreams.
Which formula is best for me?
Every BRAINSUPREME supplement includes our powerful BRAINSUPREME mushroom blend as a powerful Nootropic– so you should get an immediate uptick in neurocognition with any of our products. That said, our product names say it all.
Genius: Be your most productive, focused and creative at work.
Brains & Balls: Get your head in the game and have your best day at the gym or on the field, every time.
Feel Good: Relax and genuinely smell those friggin roses! Calm, satisfied, mildly euphoric and full of gratitude.
Wind Down: Go to bed relaxed and happy and get your deepest 8-hour sleep.
Want to pump up the dose of any of the above (except Wind Down) or looking for an enhanced weekend chill, then give The Black Stack a try.
Can women take Brain + Balls?
YES, 100%!! The herbs and nutrients in B+B are good for both men and women. The T-boosters are all natural herbs that have been clinically proven to increase testosterone production, and both men AND WOMEN benefit from healthy testosterone levels. THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT contain any synthetic testosterone.
Can I take 2 BRAINSUPREME products at the same time?
Yes, we call that Scaling and Stacking and it is a favorite among BRAINSUPREME staff and many members. Scaling means, you start your 5 day cycle at one dose and end the cycle at a slightly higher dose, Stacking means you take 2 formulas at the same time..
Scaling and stacking power protocol option–
-Monday and Tuesday, 1 Genius and 1 Brains + Balls, = 200 mg of the 3M blend.
-Wednesday, 2 Genius and 1 Brains + Balls (300 mg total).
-Thursday and Friday, 2 Genius and 2 Brains + Balls (400 mg total). Then take the weekend or next two days off. This protocol provides a full nootropic and testosterone boosting punch and can also be done with Feel Good for increased emotional and libido support.
Why do you recommend taking 2 days off every 5 days and 5 day break every 30 days?
Taking a short break each week and a 5 to 7 day break every 30 days helps to stimulate your brain’s ability to respond to all the good stuff in BRAINSUPREME and to prevent acclimation.
This is a guide. Ideally you will find what is best for you.
Can I take BRAINSUPREME if I have dietary restrictions?
Our capsules are made with vegan, gluten free, organic ingredients, and our mushrooms are grown on an all natural substrate.
Can I add BRAINSUPREME to my coffee or smoothie?
Yes, that’s a great idea! Open the capsule over your blender or cup so you don’t lose any of the powder.
How should I store/care for my products?
Keep supplements in a cool dry place like your pantry or medicine cabinet.
