7,8-Dihydroxyflavone

Supports neuroplasticity

7,8-Dihydroxyflavone

What is it?

7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF), also known as tropoflavin, is a flavonoid derived from Tridax procumbens (Tridax daisies).

Present in

Clarity Dosage

30mg

Other Nootropics

10–25mg on average

The Science

7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) mimics Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), supporting neuroplasticity—the process that promotes the growth and repair of neural connections essential for learning, memory, and cognitive flexibility. Its small molecular size allows it to easily cross the blood-brain barrier, working within the central nervous system to enhance mental adaptability and emotional resilience.

Bacopa Monnieri

Improves memory recall

Bacopa Monnieri

What is it?

Bacopa Extract (Bacopa monnieri) is a revered herb in Ayurvedic tradition, long used to support cognitive function, memory, and stress resilience. Traditionally known as "Brahmi," Bacopa has been valued for its adaptogenic and neuroprotective properties, helping to enhance learning, focus, and mental clarity.

Neuroprotection Dosage

250mg

Other Nootropics

15–300mg on average

The Science

Brassica Oleracea (Broccoli Seed)

Promotes NRF2 pathway activity

Brassica Oleracea (Broccoli Seed)

What is it?

Broccoli seed extract is standardized for glucoraphanin, a stable and well-researched precursor to sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is a compound known for its antioxidant and detoxification benefits. On its own, glucoraphanin is biologically inactive and must be activated by an enzyme called myrosinase to convert into sulforaphane. Our broccoli seed extract provides a consistent source of this key precursor.

Neuroprotection Dosage

125mg

Other Nootropics

125mg on average

The Science

Everyday factors such as diet, lifestyle, and environmental exposures can contribute to oxidative stress, which impacts cognitive function over time. Sulforaphane has been studied for its ability to support the body’s defense against oxidative stress, in part by activating the NRF2 pathway—a critical regulator of cellular protection, antioxidant response, and detoxification. Glucoraphanin, the compound in broccoli seed, supports the body’s natural antioxidant defenses and helps promote phase II detoxification, a process that eliminates environmental and metabolic byproducts. However, without activation by myrosinase, the conversion to sulforaphane can be inefficient, especially when relying solely on gut bacteria. That’s why we also included mustard seed powder in Neuroprotection.

Caffeine Anhydrous

Inadequate levels are common, especially during periods of low sunlight, and can contribute to low mood, brain fog, and fatigue. By including a high-potency dose of vitamin D3 in our Stress Reset formula, we help restore what your body may be missing—supporting emotional well-being, improving focus, and helping you stay clear, calm, and grounded through life’s demands.

Present in

Stress Reset Dosage

125mcg, 5,000 IU

Other Nootropics

2.5-3000mcg on average

The Science

In an 8-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, co-supplementation with vitamin D and magnesium in obese women with low serum vitamin D and mild to moderate mood symptoms was associated with greater reductions in self-reported mood issues compared to either nutrient alone. The combination also corresponded with increases in serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and SIRT1, along with reductions in inflammatory markers such as TNF-α and IL-6. Improvements in anthropometric measures, including weight, BMI, and waist circumference, were also observed. These findings suggest a potential synergistic effect of vitamin D and magnesium on mood-related outcomes and inflammation in populations with low vitamin D status.
