Three doses per day from three different forms. Capsule morning, drops at 2 pm slump, nothing at night. Sharpest my head has felt in years.

Thoughtfully stackedOur verdict · for students, knowledge workers, focus-first daily users
Three-pronged cognition play: nerve-growth (Lion's Mane 40% polys), adaptogen stack, and a fast sublingual. Theanine + caffeine in the Cognitive Support blend is clinical. Alpha GPC and Bacopa sit below study doses, so the protocol is a solid starter, not a max-effect stack.
Lion's Mane (40% polysaccharides, organic) for nerve-growth support. Cognitive Support capsules with Alpha GPC, Bacopa, L-Theanine, and Huperzine A. Mushroom Energy & Cognition Drops (Cordyceps + Lion's Mane + Alpha GPC) for fast sublingual focus. Layered, not a hero ingredient.

What founding members say
“I took the Foundation Protocol for six weeks. Sleep got measurably better by week two. The part I didn't expect: knowing every bottle came with a COA made me actually take it consistently.”
“I've been a dietitian for 15 years and recommended half a dozen supplement brands to clients. This is the first one where I recognized the exact ingredient forms from the trials. Not the cheaper versions.”
“Switched from my gym's creatine. Same grams on the label, but I could taste the difference. Turns out one was cut with maltodextrin. The IngredientMD Shop pulled the COA showing 100% monohydrate. That's the whole pitch for me.”
A note from the team
We spent 18 months scoring 620 products before we sold a single bottle. We saw how often brands cut clinical doses in half to hit a price point, or used the cheap form and kept the branded name. This is the fix. Not a new brand. An honest one. If a formula doesn't pass our own scoring standards, we don't ship it. Ever.

Questions buyers ask
Not really, they work on different mechanisms. Alpha GPC (acetylcholine) plus Bacopa (memory consolidation) plus L-theanine (calm focus) is a balanced combo, not a pile-on.
