Alpha GPC Choline
Alpha GPC Choline increases your brain’s ability to focus on the task at hand. It also improves your ability to process information, and enables you to remember more.
We like to think of Alpha GPC Choline supplementation like upgrading your brain’s RAM.
The Science:
In your brain, Choline is converted into the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is critical for brain function and cognition.
A 4 year study with 1400 participants demonstrated an improvement in tested verbal memory, visual memory, and verbal learning over time.
There are 5 different types of choline you can supplement with:
- Phosphatidylcholine
- Lecithin
- Choline
- CDP choline
- Alpha GPC Choline
Alpha GPC choline is not converted into an intermediate before being converted to acetylcholine. As such, Alpha GPC Choline is one of the most potent forms available.

L-Carnitine
L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid that helps the brain produce energy and improve brain function.
L-Carnitine is naturally produced in the body. That said, tests indicate humans, especially vegans, tend to be deficient.
The studies indicate L-Carnitine can improve general brain function in adults, and may even be protective of the brain’s neurons.(4,5,6)
-
L-Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine is a naturally occurring amino acid.
Studies indicate it may improve your mood, memory, cognitive abilities and concentration.
The Science:
L-Tyrosine is a precursor for the production of 3 neurotransmitters, dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Additionally, L-Tyrosine supplementation can prevent the depletion of neurotransmitters that effect stress and modify stress response.
As such, it has been shown to It has been shown to improve performance on complex mental tasks and improve cognitive flexibility.(1,2,3)

ZumXR® Extended Release Caffeine
Caffeine is the most widely used nootropic in the world.
Studies show caffeine increases reaction time, alertness, memory and mood. Caffeine also amplifies the effectiveness of the other nootropics in Brain.
Brain’s Extended Release Caffeine provides a smooth release of approximately 60 mg of caffeine per hour for up to 6 hours. The timed-release eliminates any jitters or crash like those associated with high caffeine energy drinks.
-
L-Theanine
L-theanine is also a natural amino acid. It is typically found in green tea and black tea.
L-theanine is amazing because it can have the dual effect of producing improved mental focus and arousal, while minimizing the response to stress.
Incredibly, L-Theanine normally creates a relaxed, sleepy state. However, when combined with caffeine, as it is in Brain, it has the opposite effect and improves alertness and concentration.(7,8)
-
1-3-7 Trimethylxanthine
We also utilize traditional fast-acting caffeine (1,7,3 trimethylxanthine).
By having traditional and extended release caffeine, Brain can start working immediately, and stay effective for up to 6 hours.

Your Top Questions, Answered
- When should I take Brain?
Brain takes approximately 30-45 minutes to kick in and the effects last for up to 6 hours. Personal preference will dictate the best times to take Brain.
As a work or study-aid, we see most people take a dose of Brain in the morning, at the midday hump, or when they need to focus and study.
As a sports performance aid, athletes take it when they get to the arena or on the way to an intense training session to stay in-the-zone for the next 6 hours.
Many people choose to take 2 doses; one earlier and one later in the day.
- How much Brain should I take?
Brain contains an immediate and extended release caffeine. We recommend starting with one capsule at a time based on your tolerance level to caffeine. Then over a period of several days you can increase your dosing to 2 or 3 capsules. The standard dose for someone who is not caffeine sensitive is 2-3 capsules per serving. Many people take multiple servings a day as well.
- How does the Extended Release Caffeine Work?
The Extended Release Caffeine microencapsulates the caffeine molecules. When the caffeine is consumed, the microencapsulation around the molecules dissolves in your system at different rates. This allows us to provide approximately 60mg of caffeine per hour for up to 6 hours.

Yes. Brain can be taken on an empty stomach or with food.
