Artichoke Leaf Extract 500mg – This is a nootropic that has been popularized when used in combination with the Forskolin nootropic, which is also included in the Qualia step one stack. Artichoke extract is most well-known for improving various elements of the memory. It helps to especially improve overall memory recall. Artichoke Extract is also good for the liver in proper dosages and can improve overall focus and energy when combined with Forskolin.

·       Coleus Forskohlii (20% Forskolin) 10mg – The well-known sister to Artichoke extract that helps to potentiate the overall effects. You may remember the benefits of this type of addition and long-term potentiation from the CILTEP stack. The difference here is that it is only a part of this monster stack. Forskolin also helps overall memory and especially memory formulation. It helps to retain new information more easily.

·       Rhodiola Rosea 300mg – Rhodiola Rosea is a natural nootropic and adaptogen. It has been shown to improve mental performance specifically to concentration and focus. Rhodiola Rosea helps improve energy while reducing stress and boosting the overall mood. It is one of my favorite natural nootropics.

·       DL-Phenylalanine 300mg – This is an essential amino acid that the body is unable to produce naturally on its own. It helps to make proteins in the body and must be either supplemented or consumed through various foods. This is needed for normal functioning of the central nervous system and is said to help reduce depression and in some cases, even pain. Phenylalanine has many positive effects that include reducing anxiety, boosting overall mood, increasing focus and concentration, and improving motivation.

·       Centrophenoxine 250mg – It is known for noticeably improving overall memory, enhancing cognitive functioning, reducing cognitive decline, improving mood and motivation, as well as focus and concentration. Centrophenoxine is one of the best-known choline supplements and stacks very well with other nootropic supplements.

·       N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (NALT) 250mg – N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (NALT) is like the journeyman of nootropic supplements. It is known for its ability to enhance focus and boost overall motivation. NALT is also known for enhancing cognitive functioning, especially when under stress.

·       Pure Energy (Pterostilbene bound to caffeine) 209mg – It is a compound that binds caffeine with the powerful antioxidant Pterostilbene. The Pterostilbene slows the absorption of the caffeine which helps to extend its half – life.

·       L – Theanine 200mg – L – Theanine is an absolute must-have to nearly any type of nootropic stack. It reacts and works with caffeine better than any other nootropic supplement. L-Theanine takes away the jitters and the crash and helps to improve the overall focus that you feel from it.

·       Noopept 30mg – Noopept helps with memory recall and retention, as well as focus and concentration. It works very synergistically well with the right combination of another nootropic to help potentiate their overall effects. Noopept is probably the most common nootropic that I recommend adding to the nootropic stacks of readers who ask me to help them customize their own.

·       DHEA 20mg – DHEA is another nootropic supplement that is commonly stacked with other nootropic compounds.

·       BioPQQ 10mg – This is a molecule that has potent antioxidant and neuroprotective effects on the brain. It helps to increase the production of mitochondria. It is known for improving sleep and reducing overall stress.

First, we have some of our essential vitamins. These include the following: Vitamin B5, B6, D3, and C. These are considered some of the essential “neuro – vitamins” that will work synergistically well with the nootropic ingredients as well as provide overall health and brain benefits.

Nootropic ingredients include:

• Bacopa Monnieri (45% Bacosides) 300mg – Bacopa is one of the most commonly used nootropics and considered by many to be one of the best natural nootropics you can consume. It has been proven to help boost memory, cognitive functioning, and enhance overall brain health. Bacopa also works synergistically well with other nootropic ingredients to help potentiate their effects. It has been shown to boost focus and concentration as well.
• Cognizin (Citicoline) 100mg – CDP-choline is also a common and necessary addition to the most any nootropic While Centrophenoxine provides choline in Step One, the citicoline in Step Two is essential to work synergistically with the Step Two stack. Citicoline is essential for its neuroprotective capabilities and it also helps to reduce overall cognitive decline. It is also known for helping to enhance learning, memory, and overall attention span.
• Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract 50mg – Many of you may have already heard about Ginkgo as it is a natural adaptogen that has been used for centuries. It is known for improving overall memory, boosting attention, and helps delay the brain’s aging process. Gingko is known for delaying cognitive decline while improving overall short-term memory. It also works synergistically with the other ingredients found in the nootropic stack.
• Hordenine HCL 20mg – Hordenine is not one of the more common nootropic compounds found in many pre-formulated nootropic stacks. It can be found in barley grass. Hordenine helps to potentiate PEA, otherwise known as Phenylethylamine, a natural chemical found in the body that is also found as a nootropic compound. PEA is known to help boost mood and overall cognitive enhancement. It works synergistically with the other ingredients found in the Step Two stack, helping to potentiate their overall effects.
• Huperzine A 50mg – Huperzine A is also considered as one of the best natural nootropics you can consume. It has many cognitive benefits including improvements to overall memory. Huperzine A has even been used to combat certain neurological ailments, such as Alzheimer’s disease. It has also been used to help those with learning deficiencies and memory loss Huperzine helps to increase overall acetylcholine levels in the brain and the compound can help improve mental clarity, boost concentration, and help a person to process data more efficiently.
• Mucuna Pruriens (98% L-Dopa) – This was literally the most intriguing nootropic compound that I noticed right away in the Step Two formula. Like Noopept and Centrophenoxine, I love the effects that I have personally experienced when using Mucuna Pruriens or sometimes referred to as L-Dopa. Mucuna Pruriens is actually a natural It helps to enhance overall mood, even reduce symptoms of depression and enhances overall focus. It also helps to boost overall motivation and works very synergistically well with other nootropics. L – Dopa helps to regulate levels of dopamine and serotonin in the brain.
• Phenylethylamine HCL 500mg – As I briefly discussed before, Phenylethylamine provides multiple cognitive benefits. It helps boost overall cognitive enhancement, increases mood, and even does well in helping to control and lose weight. Phenylethylamine is often supplemented and used as concentration aid to help boost overall attention and focus. It is naturally released in the brain in the form of norepinephrine and dopamine, both of which are involved in attention and alertness. It is sometimes humorously referred to as the “love drug” since it is the same chemical that is released when we have feelings of “romantic love.”
