Plain-language explainers on ADHD, autism, sleep, memory and more. Each one sets out what the evidence says and where it stops.
General information only, not medical advice. We are not a clinical service yet.
An honest, label-to-label comparison of what's actually dosed and disclosed on each product's Supplement Facts panel.
Girls are diagnosed with ADHD at roughly half the rate of boys, and women are often diagnosed a decade or more after their symptoms first appeared.
The short, honest answer: once a supplement actually breaks down in your digestive tract, your gut absorbs most nutrients about the same way regardless of whether they…
The honest answer: no supplement fixes home-office focus on its own, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling harder than the evidence supports.
Rhodiola and ashwagandha aren't interchangeable ‘adaptogens.’ One is evidenced for acute fatigue within days; the other for chronic, cortisol-driven stress over weeks. Here's the comparison.
Threonate is marketed on a blood-brain-barrier cognition claim glycinate doesn't make. Here's the actual human trial evidence, and why Proco still ships glycinate today.
Lion's Mane's NGF mechanism is real in the lab. In humans, four small trials (18-41 people each) show a thin, mixed signal — here's what they actually found.
Waking at 3am is common and often normal. Here's what the evidence says about why it happens, the single most evidence-backed way to fall back asleep, and where melatonin, magnesium and GABA genuinely can (and can't) help.
Alpha Brain folds most of its actives into three proprietary blends. Cognitive Support lists all nine of its actives individually but hasn't published doses yet. Here's the honest, factual side-by-side.
Sleep isn't one state — it's four stages your brain cycles through all night. Here's what N1, N2, N3 and REM actually do, how insomnia disrupts that pattern, and where sleep supplement evidence does (and doesn't) reach.
Mind Lab Pro discloses a dose for all 11 of its nootropics. Cognitive Support lists 9 actives individually but doesn't yet. Here's the honest, ingredient-by-ingredient comparison.
We sell a cognitive support supplement, and we still think this needs saying: four real, treatable medical causes of brain fog worth ruling out first — thyroid, anemia, sleep apnea, and depression.
Expecting a supplement to work changes how it feels to work — sometimes almost as much as the ingredient itself. Here's the actual research, and why it's the real reason we cite RCTs instead of testimonials.
A 2025 JISSN review pulls together what's specifically known about creatine across the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause — an evidence base that's historically been almost entirely male.
An October 2025 PET imaging study identified a measurable biological marker — AMPA receptor density — that tracks with long COVID brain fog severity, turning a hard-to-validate symptom into a physical, diagnosable finding.
Clocks change in early November. Here's what the data actually shows: the spring transition costs real sleep and a measurable heart-attack risk bump; the fall transition is comparatively low-stakes.
A December 2025 Nature Communications study used 7 Tesla brain imaging to find a real, light-sensitive amygdala mechanism behind seasonal mood changes — and why light therapy actually works.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding change the safety calculus on caffeine, melatonin, creatine, omega-3 and magnesium. Here's the exact guidance, product by product.
Attention Restoration Theory is the actual research framework behind "go for a walk, it'll help you focus." Here's what the systematic reviews and meta-analyses actually found.
"Dopamine detox" oversimplifies the neuroscience. The real, well-studied effect behind why your phone hurts your focus is different — and more actionable.
Trouble focusing and mental exhaustion show up in both adult ADHD and burnout. Here's what clinically distinguishes them — and why the distinction actually matters.
"Mom brain" is real, documented, and has a name — matrescence. Here's what the research on pregnancy, postpartum cognition, and brain structure actually shows.
A 2025 dose-response meta-analysis of 20 cohort studies revisits the old "a glass of wine is good for your brain" claim — and the protective effect doesn't hold up once confounds are controlled for.
The 2:30pm wall isn't just tiredness — trials show the shape of your post-meal glucose curve tracks with afternoon cognitive performance. Here's what actually helps.
The direct estradiol mechanism behind perimenopause brain fog, and what current research and clinical guidance actually recommend.
