I’ve been using Mind Lab Pro® every day for the last five years. This is my review of why I use it. And why you may want to consider trying it too.

mind-lab-pro-review I often get emails from Nootropics Expert® readers asking me what my favorite nootropic stack is. And what I use every day. This post is a detailed response to that question.

NOTE: This review has been updated to reflect the changes to the Mind Lab Pro® formula which was refreshed in early 2017.

Mind Lab Pro® is by far the best nootropic stack I’ve ever used. And I’ve tried a lot of them over the last 12 years. Including ready-made stacks from the local vitamin shop to many of the well-known stacks found online.

14 years ago, I was diagnosed with Adult ADD and my doctor put me on Ritalin. It was like the lights suddenly came on in my brain. And for the first time in my life I could concentrate and focus.

Up to then, I took my brain for granted. And hadn’t considered that the health of my brain affected every single aspect of my life.

That point was also the beginning of a journey into how my brain worked. What was wrong, and an earnest search on how to fix it. I’ve read thousands of threads on Reddit, Longecity and nootropic blogs in this search for the ultimate nootropic stack.

My Nootropic Stack Criteria

As this deep dive into neuroscience took shape, I started to develop a map of sorts on what my options were. Areas that I could fix on my own. And other areas that could be boosted and tweaked to get the most out of this amazingly complex organ in my head.

This is the list of cognitive improvements I eventually came up with:

  • increase memory and recall
  • eliminate brain fog
  • support the stimulant I am using for Adult ADD
  • ramp up motivation
  • boost personal confidence
  • help with concentration
  • magnify my ability to learn and retain
  • focus easily
  • maintain a better mood – tone down depression
  • improve vocabulary – words come easily
  • reduce stress levels
  • have better coordination
  • improve sleep

It soon became clear that no prescription drug on earth could help achieve the results I was looking for. A completely optimized brain firing on all cylinders.

So I turned to natural supplements and started experimenting. Through trial and error things started to come together. My memory and recall got better. Confidence levels improved and I was in a better mood. Stress levels went down. And a better night’s sleep was finally within reach.

Anyone who has been down this path of brain optimization knows the expense and work involved. I’ve spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on supplements. Trial and error with different compounds. Buying ready-made stacks that promised a lot. But always fell short in some way.

Eventually I started buying nootropic supplements in bulk powder form and began making my own capsules. Still a costly way to boost my brain power but entirely worth the effort and expense. Both in my career and relationships with those I love.

Discovering Mind Lab Pro

But I was always on the lookout for the ideal nootropic stack that could help replace some of the many supplements I was taking. And in late 2015 I finally found it in Mind Lab Pro®.

I’ve been using Mind Lab Pro every day since then. And haven’t found another premade nootropic stack that comes anywhere close to what this stack can do.

Buy Mind Lab Pro®

Who Makes Mind Lab Pro?

Mind Lab Pro is a premium nootropic stack developed in the U.K. The company promotes Mind Lab Pro as “the first Universal Nootropic” stack that boosts all aspects of cognition in all types of people.mind-lab-pro-amazon

This nootropic stack can be used by students, athletes, competitors in sports and games, working professionals and even those over 55.

So how can one stack promise so much in just two capsules per day? Let’s dig into the ingredients to see what they do in the brain, and how they work.

(Note that every ingredient in Mind Lab Pro listed here links through to a full review of each nootropic on Nootropics Expert. You’ll get more detail on the history, clinical studies, dosage recommendations, side effects and forms available).

Mind Lab Pro Ingredients

This is the formula that the team at Mind Lab Pro created that works so well for me. And thousands of other neurohackers around the world.

    • Bacopa Monnieri 150 mg standardized to 45% bacosides with 9 bioactives cuts back learning time, and improves memory including recall.[i]

Mind Lab Pro formula updated 2017The active bacosides in Bacopa protects brain cells from free radicals which prevents cell damage and death. Bacopa also boosts acetylcholine, GABA and serotonin – all tied to focus, clear memory and better mood. Bacopa even helps boost cerebral circulation.

    • Citicoline as Cognizin® 250 mg enhances attention, concentration, memory, logical reasoning, learning and focus.[ii]

Citicoline helps synthesize phosphatidylcholine (PC), a major phospholipid found in brain cell membranes. And supports the neurotransmitter acetylcholine while providing antioxidant activity.

    • Phosphatidylserine (PS) as Sharp PS® Green 100 mg improves memory and attention, increases cognitive processing speed, and accuracy.[iii]PS is a phospholipid making up 15% of brain cell membranes. Maintaining cellular fluidity, optimizing neuroreceptors and promoting acetylcholine and dopamine.

PS even increases nerve growth factor to help neurogenesis, cell maintenance and repair.

    • Lion’s Mane Mushroom (full-spectrum) 500 mg is effective in improving memory, neuron repair,[iv] liver detox, and regulating blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Lion’s Mane is the only mushroom that supports brain health. The active hericenones and erinacines stimulates Nerve Growth Factor which helps neurogenesis, and myelin axon sheath synthesis. Improving neuroplasticity which is involved in memory formation, and keeping cell membranes healthy.

    • Rhodiola Rosea 50 mg standardized to 3% rosavins and 1% salidrosides improves mental performance under stress, and enhances mood.[v]

Rhodiola boosts mood by influencing norepinephrine, serotonin and the feel-good opioids like beta-endorphins levels in your brain. It helps neurogenesis, activates the synthesis of ATP, and reduces the inflammatory C-reactive protein in your brain.

    • L-Theanine 100 mg as Suntheanine® improves focus[vi], sleep, immune system strength, and blood pressure control. L-Theanine increases alpha brain waves which are associated with relaxation and enhanced creativity.

It settles excitatory neurotransmitters while promoting calming neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA. Sharpening attention, alertness and focus that help creative problem solving, learning and studying.

NALT has been shown to promote working memory when multitasking.[vii] And NALT helps optimize mental performance under high stress, fatigue and sleep deprivation.

    • Maritime Pine Bark Extract 75 mg standardized for a minimum of 95% proanthocyanidins. This extract helps increase levels of nitric oxide which helps dilate blood vessels. Delivering more oxygen and glucose to brain cells for more energy, better learning and memory, enhanced focus and elevated mood.

Pine Bark Extract is one the most potent antioxidants ever discovered. Scavenging free radicals to protect neurons from oxidative damage.

    • Vitamin B6  2.5 mg supplied in the bio-identical form of NutriGenesis® vitamins which is critical for the synthesis of the major neurotransmitters dopamine, GABA, norepinephrine and serotonin. Which influence mood, melatonin, and helps regulate your body clock.[x]

B6 also helps protect your brain from excess homocysteine that can damage blood vessel linings. And B6 helps form myelin which is the protective sheath that surrounds axons in your brain and body.

    • Vitamin B9 100 mcg in the bio-identical form of  NutriGenesis® vitamins. This vitamin participates in one-carbon transfers for the synthesis of DNA and RNA. And works with the other two B-Vitamins in this stack help regulate homocysteine levels.

Folate is also involved in gene expression, amino acid synthesis, and myelin synthesis and repair.

    • Vitamin B12 7.5 mcg in the bio-identical form of NutriGenesis® vitamins which is required to regulate homocysteine levels in your brain and body.

B12 is also a cofactor in the synthesis of the major neurotransmitters dopamine, GABA, norepinephrine and serotonin. Low levels of Vitamin B12 has been linked to poor mood and cognition leading to cognitive decline at any age.[xi]

One of the things that stands out in this nootropic stack is the company chooses to use their proprietary NutriGenesis® form of vitamins. Which are nature-identical to ensure these B-Vitamins are completely absorbed and used by your body and brain.

Mind Lab Pro Dosage

The amount of each ingredient listed is for Mind Lab Pro’s recommended 2-capsules per day. You can safely increase your dose to 4-capsules per day. 2 in the morning and 2 early afternoon.

Like every nootropic, it’s always better to start low and see how your body and brain react before increasing your dosage.

mind-lab-pro-optimized-brain

Synergy of Nootropic Ingredients is Key

The key to making this nootropic stack work is two-fold:

  1. the exact amount required for optimal performance from each ingredient
  2. synergy or how they work together and complement each other for maximum results.

This idea of “synergy” is a big deal when putting together a nootropic stack. While each nootropic on its own could call for a higher dosage, when combined they work together better in the brain at smaller doses. But more on these doses in a minute.

Just Say “No” to Proprietary Formulas

One thing that irks me is the way many nootropic manufactures ‘hide’ the exact amount of each ingredient in their stack. They call it their “proprietary formula”.

Mind Lab Pro dosage

But Mind Lab Pro chooses to disclose exact amounts on their packaging. So I know exactly what I’m taking. For me, this shows respect for me as a customer. Then I have the option of upping doses of certain nootropics that are unique to my condition and state of health.

For example, I’m Adult ADD and continue to use 20 mg of Ritalin twice a day. Ritalin works by blocking the reuptake and degradation of dopamine in my brain. Making more dopamine available to help my focus and concentration.

The problem for me, and for many with ADD and ADHD as we get older is there’s not enough dopamine in my brain to start with.

Mind Lab Pro addresses this lack of dopamine with NALT. But in my case, the dose of NALT is too low. So I add 800 mg of NALT and 1,000 mg of ALCAR each time I take my Ritalin dose.

The result has been greater efficacy of Ritalin. I’ve never had to increase my dose of Ritalin due to tolerance. And at the end of my day, I don’t experience a stimulant ‘crash’ which is common when using these types of stimulants.

Do I consider this a ‘con’ for Mind Lab Pro? Absolutely not. Because while I need extra dopamine and acetylcholine in my brain, you may not. Unless you’re dealing with something like ADHD.

And I know exactly how much NALT and ALCAR to add to this stack because Mind Lab Pro tells me how much they are supplying in their stack. There is no guessing.

How Mind Lab Pro Works in Real Life

I love this nootropic stack. Two capsules in the morning with a tablespoon of organic unrefined coconut oil. And it launches my day. In my case with ADD and being hypothyroid, I take another two capsules at noon with coconut oil.

I also use 1,000 mg of DHA in the morning. Along with Aniracetam and Sulbutiamine. Since starting Mind Lab Pro my productivity has increased. My mood is better. Focusing on several projects is not a problem. Work seems to go faster. And I get more done in less time.

Everything just seems better. And life flows.

Mind Lab Pro is Impressive value

One of the things I’ve learned over the years of working with nootropics is it’s not cheap. In fact, taking each nootropic on its own in my case, can add up to a few hundred dollars per month.

Mind Lab Pro great value

But using Mind Lab Pro has dramatically reduced my nootropic budget. Here’s a breakdown of how much each of these nootropics would cost if purchased individually.

Note: These prices are from Amazon.com here in the USA at the time I write this. They’re usually competitive with other retailers online, and brick & mortar stores. Prices could be different in your part of the world, or when you read this.

Bacopa Monnieri (45% bacosides) 250 mg – 90 capsules $14.99

Citicoline (Cognizin®) 250 mg – 60 capsules $20.38

Phosphatidylserine (PS) (Sharp PS® Green) 100 mg – 120 capsules $48.97

Lion’s Mane Mushroom (full-spectrum) 500 mg – 60 capsules $8.99

Rhodiola Rosea (3% rosavins, 1% salidrosides) 250 mg – 60 capsules $7.86

L-Theanine (Suntheanine®) 100 mg – 60 capsules $11.49

N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (NALT) 350 mg – 120 capsules $12.29

Pine Bark Extract (95% proanthocyanidins ) 100 mg – 300 capsules $18.52

Vitamin B6 (P-5-P) 25 mg – 100 capsules $17.95

Vitamin B9 (folate) 400 mcg – 90 capsules $7.21

Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) 1 mg – 60 capsules $18.95

The total of each of these evidence-backed nootropics when purchased individually comes out to $187.60.

Now I realize that the dosages in this comparison are often higher when used individually. The quantities per bottle are often higher than a monthly supply. And I’ve included supplements packed in vegetarian capsules which are often priced a little higher than regular capsules.

Sure, I could re-calculate each of the comparison prices by counting capsules per bottle to figure out the exact monthly dose.
Adjusting the price per capsule accordingly.

But my point here is the cost of buying each of these nootropics individually will be higher. Much higher than what the company charges for Mind Lab Pro.

Mind Lab Pro for a 30-day supply if you take the recommended 2 capsules per day is only $69.00 (+ shipping & handling).

You can also choose a 3-month supply (3 boxes) of Mind Lab Pro for $207.00 and get one box free (including free international shipping & handling). That works out to $51.75 per box.

Pros & Cons of Mind Lab Pro


mind-lab-pro-dosage-2


Mind Lab Pro has taken an extra step to include NutriCaps® instead of regular vegetarian capsules in their stack. These vegan caps are made from tapioca.


Most competitors (including the nootropics listed above) use HPMC vegetarian capsules which are made from a semi-synthetic polymer.


Now, let’s look at what I think are the pros and cons of this premium nootropic stack.


Pros


  • Full disclosure on the amount of each ingredient
  • High quality branded ingredients (i.e. Cognizin®, Sharp PS®, NutriGenesis® vitamins, Suntheanine®)
  • Vegan natural NutriCaps®
  • Highly bioavailable B-Vitamins (P-5-P and methylcobalamin)
  • No additives
  • Organic when available, and always free of toxic heavy metals and other contaminates
  • Tested prior to encapsulation for allergens, GMOs, microbes, pesticides and herbicides
  • Batches are re-tested to confirm potency, purity and activity after encapsulation
  • Ships in recyclable cardboard security boxes filled with biodegradable packing peanutsmind-lab-pro-packaging-biodegradable
  • Competitively priced


Cons



In all, I think the dosages included in Mind Lab Pro are perfect for this stack. In these dosage ranges side effects are minimized, or non-existent.


And because they fully disclose how much is in each 2-capsule dose, I have a better idea on what I need to add to this stack for my unique issues.


Nootropics Expert Recommendation

Nootropics Expert Tested and ApprovedI recommend Mind Lab Pro as a nootropic stack for total brain optimization.

Pricing of Mind Lab Pro is very competitive for what you get. Some on reddit.com and other blogs have commented that the company only sells this stack from their site. And don’t offer a free trial.

I’ve been in internet marketing for many years and completely understand the hazards of offering a free trial. Especially when you’re selling a high-quality product at the best price you can to stay competitive. It doesn’t make sense to offer free trials when you back it up with a risk-free, “empty bottle”, money-back guarantee.

The company has also decided not to offer Mind Lab Pro on Amazon.com because they don’t want this stack to appear alongside low-quality junk products. I get that. Amazon can also be a place where reviews are easily manipulated by jealous competitors.

And for anyone looking to understand the methodology that went into developing this stack, Amazon.com is not the place for extensive product descriptions.

So if you’ve been experimenting with nootropics for a while, or even considering getting into neurohacking – I recommend giving Mind Lab Pro a try.

This is the best pre-made nootropic stack I’ve ever tried. And this after nearly 10 years of trying dozens of nootropics. Both individual ingredients, and various stacks by different manufacturers.

It’s certainly not the cheapest nootropic stack on the market. But it’s not unreasonably priced either at only $69 for a month supply. You can’t put this stack together individually for less than twice or even three times what Opti Nutra charges.

And for me, Mind Lab Pro went the extra mile by going top notch with everything in this stack. Product and packaging quality, brand name ingredients, testing and more testing, organic when they can. Right down to using and NutriGenesis® and NutriCaps®. Touches the average person wouldn’t even notice. Now that’s cool.

Hello David, I just orderder MLP based on your recommendations! 3 bottles + 1 free. After the purchase, I started searching on google about the product and didn’t find sources outside the “nootropic world”. IT does not bother me at all because I trust the information you provide and that’s why I jumped to buy it w/o doing a research of my own… but then I read they manufacture the product in the USA under Optinutra company, but I just can find any information about the location of the manufacturing facility or the company. My question is: Do you know where in the US are they located? Have you seen some, or all of the certificates they said they have in this factory? I think more information will provide more confidence to attract potential customers. Thank you.

I’ll start out with the ugly news- I’m Bipolar. Diagnosed~15 years ago. I have been on a variety of psycho scrips since then, most recently lithium carbonate, Olanzapine, and Lamotrogine(some seizures, a la grand Mal).
For the last two months I have been experimenting with nootropics, with very positive results I believe. Primarily GABA, Tyrosine, Inositol and lithium orotate- I also take a hodgepodge of more traditional supplements like Turmeric, high dose Fish Oil, some vits, etc.
Now I’m considering Mind Lab Pro- thinking I will get a broader range of ingredients that will be beneficial for my BP, and it will be better price performance…?
Any comments and/or suggestions greatly appreciated- I enjoy your vids- they seem to be well thought out, thorough, and trustworthy. Rgds…jwf2

    David Tomen
    May 6, 2019

    James, seems like you are on the right track. Keep on experimenting until you find exactly what works for you. Mind Lab Pro would be a great addition. But please be very careful about combining certain nootropics with prescription meds. Because Serotonin Syndrome is real and can be deadly if you are not careful.

      James Fraser
      May 9, 2019

      Gotcha. I am slowly weaning my self off all the scrips except I have converted from the carbonate form of lithium to orotate. Two down two to go- I’m hoping the MLP will help get me over the hump.
      Thank you for all your effort!

Hi David,

I’ve been taking Mind lab pro (2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon), Performance energy lab (2 morning and 2 afternoon), Alcar (600mg morning and 600mg afternoon), Nalt (600mg morning and 600mg afternoon) and alpha liopoic acid (600mg in the morning) I take this with MCT oil and either ritalin or concerta. Unfortunately I dont feel much of a difference. I still experience the stimulant crash and on my off days when I dont take my ADD meds, I dont feel the effects of the supplements. My motivation is still low, memory isn’t the greatest and still suffer from fatigue. I have read your posts on memory, fatigue and add however there’s so many different type of supplements you recommend and it’s quite confusing. Do you have any advice you could provide me with (changing my dosage, adding additional supplements to my stack etc) as exams are coming up and I really need to step up my game.

Thanks in advance.

    David Tomen
    April 2, 2019

    Zey, this will take some experimenting on your part. I suggest dosing MLP, PL Energy, NALT, and ALCAR first thing in the morning and at noon. Then another dose of NALT and ALCAR later in the afternoon (i.e. 4 pm) should eliminate the stimulant crash.

    If you’ve read my story, you’ll know that I tried that stack for a year while not using Ritalin and it worked for me. But why do you have “off days” when you don’t use your meds?

    Another suggestion is replace NALT with standard L-Tyrosine. It works better for some people. And depending on your age, you many want to increase your NALT or L-Tyrosine dose to 750 or 800 mg. The aging brain loses 10% of its dopamine-making capacity each decade starting in your 20’s. And as you get older, monoamine oxidase increases which further depletes dopamine.

    Not sure what you mean by “feel the effects of the supplements” but assuming you just want relief from ADHD symptoms and not a feeling of euphoria, you need to find your sweet spot for dopamine and acetylcholine.

    BTW, if you are using Performance Lab Energy morning and noon, there’s no need to use additional alpha lipoic acid.

Hello David, I’m on Lexapro, can I use MLP with an ssri?
Thank you
Otto

    David Tomen
    April 1, 2019

    Otto, it depends on how sensitive you are to meds and supplements. There is nothing in Mind Lab Pro that directly promotes serotonin. Which is what you need to be careful of with SSRIs and nootropics. Serotonin Syndrome is nothing to mess around with.

    A standard Mind Lab Pro dose is two capsules. So you may want to consider trying a single capsule first and see how you feel.

Annette Davis
March 26, 2019

My recent bloodwork indicated that I was not deficient in any B vitamins and actually had a high level of vitamin B6. Would it be harmful to take a supplement containing vitamin B6 or any other B vitamins for that matter.
I struggle with severe social anxiety and I would like to take a formula like Mind Lab Pro but am concerned with the B vitamins.

    David Tomen
    March 26, 2019

    Annette, it’s good to be concerned but in this case, it’s not a problem. Because the form of vitamins in Mind Lab Pro are low enough and the right type that you don’t need to be concerned with overdoing it. Vitamin B6 as P-5-P is non-toxic and what your body recognizes instantly as B6. Synthetic B6 would be a problem.

    Have you seen my post on social anxiety? https://nootropicsexpert.com/best-nootropics-for-social-anxiety/. If you can figure out the root cause of your anxiety it would be easier to address. But if you are guessing then it’ll take some trial and error to find the right solution.

    You may want to start with something like Lemon Balm and/or Gotu Kola and see if that helps. Because they act more as adaptogens and hopefully could bring back some balance to your system.

Hi David, emailed the CS and it is all okay now.
Now waiting my Noopept and Aniracetam and hopefully this stack work for me.

Cheers

February 9, 2019

Hi David,
Thank you for all the information you gave, it’s been very helpful.
If I would like to stack Mindlabpro with Noopept and Aniracetam, what is the good starting dosage and best time to take it?

Do you have any Discount Code to share for MLP? NE10 is not useable anymore.

Best Regards

    David Tomen
    February 10, 2019

    Ikmal, follow the dosage recommendations in the individual reviews for Noopept and Aniracetam;

    https://nootropicsexpert.com/aniracetam/

    https://nootropicsexpert.com/noopept/

    I’ll check into the discount code situation. First I’ve heard of it and was not told that it had expired. It’s the only one I have so I’ll check with Opti Nutra later today.

      Ikmal
      February 12, 2019

      Thank you for the reply David,

      I just wonder if I were to stack with MLP, should I reduce the dosage of the Noopept and Aniracetam?

        David Tomen
        February 12, 2019

        Ikmal, it depends on how you react to these supplements. I don’t reduce my dosage of Noopept or Aniracetam when using MLP. But that works for me. You may be different. I suggest experimenting with lower dosages and work your way up to find out.

        Ikmal
        February 13, 2019

        David,noted. I will start with half the normal dosage for 2 weeks and see how it affects me.

        Any reply from Opti Nutra regarding the “NE10”?

        Best Regards

        David Tomen
        February 13, 2019

        Ikmal, I was just told my Opti Nutra that the coupon code is could until Feb. 15, 2019. So it should work. It if doesn’t I suggest contacting their Customer Support and find out why.

Jeanee
January 27, 2019

Hi David-
I am taking Mind Lab Pro and have taken one pill for the past 4 days. I feel somewhat moody and edgy. Is this common? Have you ever heard of this happening?
I was taking another form of liquid Lions Mane and also take a keto nootropic powder shake made by perfect Keto. I was planning on eliminating that once I saw how Mind Lab pro worked- I am focused and brain fog is gone but I do not like feeling edgy and snappy. Thoughts?

    David Tomen
    January 28, 2019

    Jeanee, edginess is likely caused by excess norepinephrine. Mind Lab Pro contains NALT which boosts dopamine which then converts to norepinephrine.

    It’s possible that you are extremely sensitive to increased dopamine. Or there is something in the ‘perfect Keto’ powder you are using that is also boosting dopamine or norepinephrine.
