Why it works

Nothing in this stack is felt on the day you take it. Bacopa monnieri improved verbal learning and recall after about 12 weeks in randomised trials [1]. Creatine shows modest memory gains in meta-analysis, largest in older adults [2]. Citicoline's evidence is mainly in cognitive decline [3].

Worth knowing

The evidence floor card shows where this stack is weakest. Each compound's support comes from a different population, and none of the three combinations has been studied.
