Space Dust - Extreme Nootropic Ingredients
TeaCrine®
- TeaCrine® has been shown to deliver mental clarity and energy, and improved motivation and mood without the crash, jitters or habituation.
- TeaCrine®’s unique ability to enhance cognitive and physical performance in one safe, non-habituating ingredient has been validated in six separate human clinical trials.
- Research suggests that TeaCrine® may promote a healthy stress response and reduce fatigue;
- The combination of TeaCrine® + caffeine benefits are amplified when compared to placebo or caffeine alone.
- Improve alertness, selective attention, information processing and neuromotor performance.
- Increase exercise capacity and physical endurance.
- Improve sustained focus under fatiguing conditions. [ref. 1-7, 24, 25]
Vitamin B12:
- May improve mood
- May improve memory and prevent brain atrophy [ref. 8, 9, 10]

- Improves cognition, mood, and alertness during stressfull/demanding situations
- Improves memory and cognition during multitasking
- Improves attention [ref. 11, 12, 13]
Caffeine:
- Increase focus, alertness and efficiency
- Improve cognitive function and mental performance
- Increase energy, mood, cognitive function
- Increases dopamine release

Mucuna Pruriens (aka velvet bean or L-Dopa):
- Shown to increase depleted dopamine levels
- Improves mood, energy, and concentration
- Positive effects on anxiety and stress
- Improves cognitive function, memory, and motor skills
- Increases motivation
- Increases alertness [ref. 18, 19, 20]
L-Theanine:

- Anxiety and stress relief [ref. 21, 22, 23]
Black Pepper Extract (piperine):
- Improve memory and decreases brain inflammation
- Increase bioavailability and nutrient absorption [ref. 27, 28, 29]
Lutein:
- Supports eye health
- Improves visual function
- Supports vision after exposure to light from computer screens

Potential for benefits to amplify when ingredients are combined, when compared to placebo:
- Improved reaction times
- Greater dexterity
- Increased visual perception
- Increased mental focus
- Greater sense of alertness
- Improved memory recall
- Greater natural attention span
- Maximize mental clarity, information retention, memory development, and cognitive workability [ref. 23, 25]
