The term “Nootropic” was introduced by Dr. Corneliu E. Giurgea, a Romanian chemist. The “Noo” comes from the Greek word for ‘mind,’ and “trope” is French for ‘change.’

Generally, nootropic proponents believe these OTC supplements can help them become more thoughtful and focused on tasks. But nootropics may offer other benefits, too.

Mind Lab Pro is advertised as “the best natural nootropic on the market” for executive function support, improved cognitive function, heightened motivation, memory, creativity, and better retention.

Summary

1) What is Mind Lab Pro?

Opti-Nutra, the company that makes Mind Lab Pro, claims their unique formula is designed for those looking to improve attention, enhance memory, and support cognitive function, while also shielding the brain from damage and stress caused by various toxins (like pollution) and aging.

Essentially, Mind Lab Pro is designed as the ideal brain supplement that covers every ground.

On top of this, Opti-Nutra also states that, unlike common prescription nootropics, Mind Lab Pro has no known adverse effects, and it’s all-natural.

2) The Company Behind Mind Lab Pro

Opti-Nutra is a dietary supplements manufacturer located in the U.K.

The company is better known for its Performance Labs product line. [1]

They have a variety of products designed for vision, gut health, plant-based and low-carb diets, omega-3, energy, sleep, and of course, the brain.

One other thing Opti-Nutra is known for is formulating only with premium ingredients, as evidenced in Mind Lab Pro, but also across their entire product range.

Furthermore, this company relies on cutting-edge production technologies in their FDA and cGMP-approved facilities in the U.K. and the U.S.A.

4) Does Mind Lab Pro Work?

Mind Lab Pro’s one of the best in the business when it comes to nootropics. The formula exclusively uses premium ingredients or ingredients standardized for its respective active compounds.

Let’s look at three of the key ingredients: L-Theanine, Lion’s Mane, and Citicoline.

L-Theanine is an amino acid that helps ease anxiety, stress, and reduce insomnia. It also is one of the amino acids that can cross the brain-blood barrier, and research indicates [2] that it is safe to use.

Scientists believe [3] L-Theanine’s beneficial effects on stress and anxiety are because of how it increases serotonin, dopamine, and GABA levels in the brain.

Lion’s Mane is a type of medicinal mushroom that might boost cognitive function, but the existing research is mainly on animals.

Other researchers have concluded that the mushrooms may have the potential to prevent or treat conditions that cause a decline in cognitive health, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease [4][5][6].

Citicoline is a naturally occurring compound found in every cell of the body, but it’s essential for the brain. It’s also one of the most sought-after nootropics in the industry.

Choline boosts acetylcholine and other neurotransmitters that keep the nervous system running smoothly. It’s also known to boost brain energy, memory, focus, and overall cognition.

Furthermore, the body converts Citicoline into many other beneficial compounds.

11) What Users Are Saying

"So I'm currently in the middle of a challenging language course and decided to try this out to help me stay focused. Before taking it, I was averaging memorizing about 30 words a day. After forking over 80 bucks, I didn't see any real jump in productivity beyond maybe a little energy." [Read full review]

---Matthew I.

"I take a stimulant ADD medication daily. I take this about 6 hours after that, and It helps prevent the "brain fog" crash that happens when it wears off, without keeping me up at night. I didn't notice the whole "mind boosting" effect during everyday activities." [Read full review]

---AJ

"My husband likes this product. He feels the difference when he stops taking. Unfortunately, it is an expensive product and puts a hole in our budget when we want to refill it." [Read full review]

Verdict

12) Our Verdict on Mind Lab Pro

Mind Lab Pro contains a blend of 11-brain boosting ingredients specifically selected for their nootropic benefits.

These 11 ingredients are premium and can work in synergy to create a comprehensive, universal smart drug that aspires to improve every aspect of cognition and brain health.

Havin a high quality, premium formula isn’t cheap, though.

Mind Lab Pro is one of the more expensive products we’ve ever reviewed. For 20-30 servings, depending on how you dose things, you’re looking at about $65.00 + shipping per bottle.

If money isn’t an issue or if you’re looking for something that wont’ disappoint, Mind Lab Pro is perhaps the best supplement for someone new to the world of nootropics and smart drugs.
