How can we help?

Nootropics are nutrient compounds shown to enhance mental performance in areas such as motivation, creativity, mood, memory, focus, and cognitive processing. They work best when combined with exercise, proper nutrition, and mindfulness activities such as meditation. One of the most commonly used and consumed nootropics is caffeine - but it is far from the most exciting!

Safety is our top priority. The FDA has guidelines on how to manufacture supplements, called Current Good Manufacturing Processes, or cGMP. All of our products are manufactured in the United States, in facilities that follow cGMP regulations and are regularly inspected by the FDA. We only use ingredients that are classified by the FDA as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) or have passed through Phase III clinical trials. We also have all of our nutrients tested by a third party lab to ensure the utmost quality.

You're unique - and so is your brain chemistry! Our innovative Starter Kit allows each participant to experience multiple formulas and determine what works best for them. Our process is complex because we’ve found that it yields the best results in the shortest amount of time. If we could formulate one pill that would work for everyone, we would! Because the human brain is deeply complex, that is simply not possible.

After you take the quiz, your results page will display the recommended nutrients and dosages for your blends. Your blend boxes feature a full list of ingredients, dosages and the recommended use cases to make the most of your Thesis.

Thesis is designed for daily use. As a best practice, we recommend that you take a day off each week so that you know where your baseline is. That is, how a day feels without nootropics! For long or demanding days it is perfectly safe to take up to two packets, at least four hours apart. We recommend taking the first sachet upon waking, and the next around when you have lunch. Don't take more than 2 packets in 24 hours - rest is important!

Thesis exists to take the guesswork out of combining nootropics. Our supplements come pre-measured and pre-organized into daily packets. The key is to find the right nootropics in the right dosages to maximize results while avoiding unintended side-effects. We have data scientists hard at work figuring out the right mix for you.

Many users start to feel the effects within 30 minutes. There are some Thesis blends that will take a few days to ramp up. It varies based on your digestion and experience with nootropics. If your body ends up requiring a loading phase, don’t get discouraged. Stay with the program and the benefits will come.

Some of our nutrients are neuroprotective, and will preserve your brain cells as you age. Our ingredients increase Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which promotes the growth of new neurons and synapses in the brain.

Thesis was developed to find which nootropics work for each individual. A way that your body tells you that a certain compound may not be ideal is by activating an undesired effect. If you experience a prolonged headache or uneasy stomach, we’ve identified a sub-optimal nootropic blend. Stop taking it. Finding what doesn’t work can be just as productive as finding what does. Based on feedback from thousands of customers, the cases of side effects are rare.

In clinical trials, none of the ingredients we include in our blends show long-term side effects.

Yes! Choose this option before you purchase, or adjust your upcoming orders anytime.

Start by taking them right after waking up in the morning. On days you need an extra boost, it is safe to take another packet after lunch.

Thesis can be taken with or without food. The effects of nootropics are strongest when taken on an empty stomach, but for those with sensitivities, try taking Thesis with food.

Certainly! But you might find that you don’t need to anymore. Users have reported an ability to significantly cut coffee consumption with the use of nootropics.

This is completely normal, and a part of the optimization process. Determining what is not a fit helps us identify what is! On average people find 2-3 blends that work best for their lifestyle and goals. Customize your blends anytime in your account, or connect with a coach if you would like some advice.

All our products are sourced from reputable vendors in the United States. Our capsules are manufactured in facilities that meet FDA requirements and go through rigorous independent lab testing.
