A lot has happened since we sold our first bottle…
Self-driving cars became a reality. Pop stars went to space. And AI went from far-fetched to a firm fixture.
Tech got smarter. Life got louder and expectations got higher.
Our brains?…They just had to keep up.
But this pressure isn’t new.
Today’s always-on, always-available world isn’t so different from the mentality that defined the previous decade. The one that ultimately led to the creation of Mind Lab Pro®.
Why Mind Lab Pro® Was Needed
Ten years ago, the ‘work hard, play harder’ mentality was everywhere.
Limitless, Mad Men, The Wolf of Wall street. The message was clear:
Go hard or go home.
Along with that mindset, came so-called ‘smart drugs’. Promising to provide everything needed to keep up with that lifestyle. Sharper focus, relentless drive. An on-demand mental edge.
But there was a snag…
What was actually delivered, rarely lived up to the promise.
It turned out that smart drugs weren’t so smart. Most “brain” products at the time were built like energy substitutes. Heavy on stimulation and light on real support. Sure, they were designed to push the brain harder and faster. But they had little consideration for what that approach might cost over time.
Churn-out led to burnout.
Dig a little deeper and a pattern emerged. Dubious ingredient choices. Undisclosed proprietary blends. Aggressive dosages chosen for immediate impact, over daily use. And none of them were suitable long-term.
The brain wasn’t being supported. It was being overridden.
The search for an alternative led to nootropics. Natural compounds designed to support the brain, not ambush it. But with countless ingredients, conflicting claims, and little guidance, one question stood out.
What actually works?
Could nootropics really offer a better alternative?
That question became the foundation of Mind Lab Pro®.
The Formula: Clean by Design
This wasn’t about finding a single “magic” ingredient. Or stacking together everything with a brain-related claim and hoping for the best.
If nootropics were going to be the alternative, each ingredient had to earn its place. Not because it was popular or trending, but because it was supported by credible research and made sense as part of a wider system. The goal wasn’t to impress on a label. It was to work, day after day.
That immediately ruled out a “more is better” approach.
Packing in dozens of ingredients might look generous, or be considered ‘better value’, but it rarely delivers meaningful results. When everything is included, nothing is properly dosed. So the focus shifted from quantity to quality. Refinement over excess.
Rather than chasing a single outcome, Mind Lab Pro® was designed to support multiple aspects of brain performance at once. Focus and memory. Mental energy and clarity. Stress resilience and long-term brain health.
Synergy mattered most.
The aim was simple: to help people perform better, regardless of age, gender or aptitude. A single formula built to support the brain as a whole. The world’s first Universal Nootropic™.
Version 1.0 was launched. But we didn’t stop there.
Refined Over Time
10 years is a long time in nutrition.
New research emerges. Evidence evolves. Ingredients improve. And assumptions that once felt solid are challenged. A formula built to last can’t afford to stand still.
So we didn’t.
We researched, we listened, and we went back to the lab. Again and again.
Re-examining every ingredient. Questioning every dose. Testing combinations, refining ratios, and stress-testing against the latest research.
Each iteration wasn’t about change for the sake of change. It was about improvement. Tightening what worked, removing what didn’t, and raising the standard every time.
Over the course of a decade, that process led to four formulations. Not reinventions, but refinements. Each one closer to the original intent: a brain supplement designed for daily use, long-term reliability, and real-world performance.
Today, Mind Lab Pro® reflects a decade of refinement. Shaped by evidence, iteration, and restraint.
And once the formula was finally where it needed to be, there was only one thing left to do.
Prove it.
Proof Over Promises
Formulating is one thing. Proving that it works is another.
And we’re not talking about informal surveys or vague “most people felt…” claims. We’re talking about the highest standard of evidence available: independent, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trials.
The gold standard in clinical testing.
Because when it comes to the brain, confidence and trust matter.
Ingredient-level research alone wasn’t enough. We wanted to understand what happens when carefully selected nootropics are combined into a single formula, and taken consistently by real people, living real lives.
That’s why we invested in human studies.
The focus wasn’t to create headline-grabbing claims or dramatic short-term effects. It was on outcomes that actually matter day-to-day: reaction time, information processing, memory, and mental performance under pressure.
Since 2023, three independent studies have been conducted at the University of Leeds. All followed the same rigorous methodology. And all reached the same conclusion.
MLP® gives you a better brain in 30 days.
Not overnight transformation.
Not artificial stimulation.
But meaningful change, built through consistency.

And while the data matters, it’s only part of the story. Because the most compelling confirmation doesn’t come from a lab.
It comes from the people who use it every day...
What You’ve Taught Us
After ten years, the most revealing insights haven’t come from trends, theories, or even studies.
They’ve come from the people who’ve taken Mind Lab Pro® consistently.
Across thousands of messages, reviews, and conversations, the same patterns appear again and again.
People don’t talk about dramatic spikes or instant transformations. They talk about steadiness. About feeling clearer under pressure. About being able to focus for longer without feeling wired, tense, or depleted.
One of the most consistent themes is subtlety.
Some people notice a difference quickly. Others only really appreciate it when they stop. When focus feels harder to maintain, mental fatigue creeps back in, and clarity doesn’t come as easily as it had before.
Another pattern is longevity.
People stay with Mind Lab Pro® through different life phases. Periods of study, intense work, parenting, rebuilding after burnout, menopause, and beyond. The circumstances change, but the role it plays stays the same: reliable cognitive support that fits into a routine without needing to be managed.
"I take it daily and its gentle, consistent effect keeps me in the zone both personally and professionally."
It becomes part of the morning. Something taken without fuss, alongside routines that support clear thinking and steady performance throughout the day.
That kind of relationship doesn’t come from a product designed to impress.
It comes from one designed to last.

Ten Years In: Still Focused on What Matters
Ten years on, the focus behind Mind Lab Pro® remains the same.
The goal was never to chase trends or react to every new headline ingredient. It was to build something people could trust. Our promise is to keep earning that trust through evidence, clean ingredients, and transparency.
That promise is our foundation.
Research continues. More studies are already in progress, with others in development.
Some will build on what we already know. Others will explore new questions. Some will even include opportunities for our community to take part in. It’s an ongoing process, and one we’re committed to doing properly.
The same applies to the formula itself.
Ingredients are continually reviewed. Standards are continually raised. We remain selective, deliberate, and uncompromising about what goes in. And just as importantly, what doesn’t.
Reaching ten years isn’t about celebrating longevity for its own sake.
It’s about continuing to show up with the same intent: to offer one of the cleanest, most scientifically grounded nootropic formulas available. And to keep improving it, carefully and transparently, for the years ahead.
