Cognition Stack
Focus & MemoryA five-compound stack for sustained focus, stress resilience, and memory consolidation - pairing nootropic peptides with circadian and cellular-energy support built for demanding cognitive workloads.
1. Semax
(including NA-Semax / Amidate)
- Dopaminergic Focus & Task Drive: Rapidly stimulates hippocampal BDNF and optimizes central dopamine and serotonin turnover, producing sustained mental clarity and executive task initiation without elevated heart rate or stimulant crashes.
- Neuroprotection & Mental Stamina: Enhances cerebral blood flow and downregulates central inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-10), protecting against the cognitive fatigue caused by long work blocks and sleep deficits.
2. Selank
(including NA-Selank / Amidate)
- Stress Shielding & Emotional Regulation: Allosterically modulates GABA-A receptors and slows enkephalin degradation, blunting performance anxiety, boardroom stress, and panic spikes under high workloads.
- Non-Sedating Calm & Fluency: Cools somatic tension and nervous system over-arousal while maintaining full mental alertness, working memory, and clear verbal fluency.
3. Adamax
- Overclocked Working Memory & Learning: Cross-linked with an adamantyl group for superior lipophilicity and blood-brain barrier penetration, delivering prolonged BDNF/TrkB phosphorylation for demanding learning and complex problem-solving sprints.
- Sustained Deep Work Endurance: Provides long-duration cognitive support that eliminates the mid-afternoon focus drop during extended study or development blocks.
4. NAD+
- Neuronal Mitochondrial Energy: Acts as the primary electron carrier in cellular respiration, directly driving ATP synthesis in high-demand brain tissue to clear baseline mental lethargy.
- Sirtuin & DNA Repair Activation: Fuels PARP enzymes and SIRT1 pathways to repair neuro-cellular stress, counteracting the oxidative and metabolic toll of chronic cognitive overload.
5. Epithalon
(Epithalamin)
- Circadian Clock & Melatonin Reset: Re-sensitizes the pineal gland to normalize natural melatonin synthesis, repairing disrupted sleep-wake cycles caused by late-night screen exposure and corporate stress.
- Deep Sleep & Memory Consolidation: Restores restorative Stage 3/4 Slow-Wave Sleep (SWS), ensuring the brain can clear metabolic waste (glymphatic drainage) and solidify memories between high-output workdays.
