How It Works
Mind Lab Pro® (MLP) was designed to power us to our individual goals. At work, at play and in life. We partnered with the finest minds in neuroscience and brain health. Committed thousands of hours of obsessive research. Studying the planet's most effective nootropic ingredients.
Version 1.0 was prototyped in 2015. But our mission didn't end there. We went back to the lab. Examined every detail, analysed every ingredient, tested every combination. And now a decade on and 4 formulations later, Mind Lab Pro® v4.0 is the world's leading all-in-one nootropic formula. Here's why...

One nootropic formula for all.
MLP is the world's first Universal Nootropic™.
A never-before-seen combination of 11 powerful ingredients. Innovatively stacked and precisely dosed to optimize all aspects of the brain. And deliver measurable cognitive improvements to all kinds of people.
The unique all-in-one formula complements fast-acting brain boosters with structural cell nourishment. Enhancing day-to-day performance and supporting healthy brain function long into the future.

11 nootropics. 6 brain pathways.
Many nootropic formulas are limited to a specific function, such as helping with focus. Or clearing brain fog. MLP has been designed to target multiple brain pathways.
Neurotransmitters
For memory, processing speed, focus, attention, creativity and verbal acuity.
Neural Regeneration
Repair, maintain & "fertilise" brain cells for plasticity & rapid growth.
Cerebral Circulation
Oxygenates brain, clears toxins, boosts nutrient delivery to brain cells.
Neuroprotection
Fights free radicals that destroy brain chemicals & accelerate brain ageing.
Brain Waves
Boosts "Alpha" brain waves for enhanced studying, learning, and productivity.
Energy Metabolism
Busts brain fog & mental fatigue for alertness, quick thinking & focus.

The ideal caffeine companion.
Unlike many other nootropic supplements, MLP does not rely on caffeine to amplify impact.
It is 100% stimulant-free. But contains ingredients that actively complement caffeine.
Making it the perfect morning coffee companion. When you want to power up for the day on clean, calm, jitter-free mental energy.

Unlock 100% natural brainpower.
MLP isn't just for Ivy League students and Silicon Valley biohackers.
It was developed by us, for us.
Designed to meet the brain's complex needs. Delivering dynamic daily brainpower in the safest, cleanest and most convenient possible format.
Frequently asked questions.
What is a nootropic?
What is a nootropic?
A nootropic is a brain booster. A natural or synthetic substance – sometime called 'smart drugs' – that helps to enhance brainpower and mental performance. Supporting memory, focus, concentration, attention, motivation, relaxation, mood, alertness, stress resistance, and other aspects of cognitive function. Some nootropics also support long-term brain health.
Pronounced 'no-a-tro-pik', the word was introduced in 1972 by Dr. Corneliu Giurgea. A Romanian chemist and psychologist who defined a nootropic as having 5 key characteristics:
- Improves memory and the ability to learn.
- Enhances focus, attention, and processing of information.
- Supports cognitive performance under pressure.
- Protects brain function and promotes long-range health.
- Is free from stims, toxins and negative side-effects.

How do I use MLP® for best results?
How do I use MLP® for best results?
For best results, take your first 2 capsules in the morning before food.
You can take it with water, juice, coffee. Whatever you like.
During periods of intense mental activity – such as studying for exams, challenging work conditions, or preparing for competition – you can take a further 2 capsules after lunch.
Should I 'cycle' MLP®?
Should I 'cycle' MLP®?
Cycling refers to the practice of taking a supplement every day – 'on cycle'. Then taking a break – 'off cycle' – intermittently.
Cycling is believed to “reset” the body's built-up tolerance to a supplement, allowing that supplement to consistently work at its true full potency.
MLP® does not require cycling. Most people take 2-4 capsules daily and consistently with no reported tolerance issues.
But if you wish to, we recommend following a '4 weeks on, 1 week off' cycle. Or a '5 days on, 2 days off' cycle.
What should I expect from MLP®?

But it does feature ingredients that actively complement caffeine. Improving the effect.
Take 2 capsules with your morning coffee for a smoother lift. To power up for the day with clean, calm, jitter-free mental energy.

Is MLP® legal?

Yes, absolutely. All the ingredients in MLP®100% are safe, legal and free of banned substances highlighted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). So it can be taken as a cognitive performance-enhancer by professional, amateur and collegiate athletes and gamers.
What are MLP® capsules made of?
What are MLP® capsules made of?
We use NutriCaps® - the highest quality, most pure and natural capsules on the market.
NutriCaps® are 100% plant-based (vegan certified), made from pullulan - a type of natural fermented tapioca. NutriCaps® dissolve easily, completely and comfortably in the digestive system. Optimizing absorption and utilization of MLP®'s nootropic ingredients.
NutriCaps® also supply a small amount of prebiotic nutrition that may further promote healthy, comfortable digestion.
Many manufacturers use gelatin (from questionable animal origin) or vegetarian “cellulose” (a.k.a HPMC, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hypromellose) capsules that appear natural. But don't be fooled – they are actually made with a semi-synthetic polymer that doesn't fit many natural lifestyles.
What are NutriGenesis® vitamins and why does MLP® use them?
What are NutriGenesis® vitamins and why does MLP® use them?
The MLP® formula includes NutriGenesis® vitamins B6+B9+B12 for their brain health and performance benefits.
NutriGenesis® is a unique process that unlocks the full performance-enhancing potential of vitamins. Using cutting-edge patented technology that replicates nutritional genesis in nature.
Supplying our B vitamins with a matrix of cofactors including Bioactive glycoproteins, Bioactive Lipoproteins, Bioactive Enzymes, Chlorophyll, Glucomannan, SOD, Glutathione, Beta-Glucans, Lipoic Acid, Essential trace minerals, Glutamic Acid, Polysaccharides, CoQ10 and other compounds.
As well as optimizing potency and bioavailability, NutriGenesis® vitamins are cleaner, safer and more environmentally responsible than typical vitamin forms.
Why does MLP® avoid artificial additives?
Why does MLP® avoid artificial additives?
Sometimes additives are necessary to maintain supplement quality. MLP® uses only one: NuFlow® Rice Concentrate, which functions as a natural flow agent during the manufacturing process.
We feel that synthetic additives that may harm nerve and brain health have no place in a nootropic supplement.
What is the story behind MLP®?
What is the story behind MLP®?
Mind Lab Pro® (MLP®) started life in 2015. The year of the 'smart drug'.
We'd heard the hype coming out of Silicon Valley. We'd seen the movie Limitless. But we'd also heard about the downsides – the hangovers. The crashes. The burnout. The dubious ingredients. The dangerous mega doses.
That didn't sound too 'smart' to us.
Our mission was to create something superior. Cleaner. Smarter. Something that matched our limitless ambitions. But with no nasty side effects. And scientifically proven to work.
And we've been using it ever since.
