⚠️ Allergen advice: contains SOY, from the phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl choline.
Food supplement suitable for vegans. Halal certified (Universal Halal Authority) and Kosher certified. 60 capsules per pot. Made in the United Kingdom in a GMP-certified facility.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children. Best before end date is printed on the base.
How to take it
Swallow 2 capsules with a glass of water. For best results take them 45 minutes before food, or 90 minutes after. No more than 6 capsules per day. Do not exceed the stated recommended intake.
At 60 capsules per pot, that's a month at one serving a day.
⚠️ Contains caffeine — 100mg per serving
- That's roughly a strong cup of coffee per serving, and the formula also contains guarana and green tea, which add more on top of the declared 100mg.
- At the maximum 6 capsules, that's 300mg of declared caffeine before the guarana and green tea are counted. Health authorities generally regard 400mg a day as the ceiling for adults — so count what you're drinking too.
- Not recommended for children or pregnant women.
- Best avoided late in the day if you'd rather it didn't affect your sleep.
⚠️ Also worth knowing
- This formula contains ginkgo biloba and Korean panax ginseng, both of which have recognised interactions with medication — particularly blood-thinning and blood-glucose medicines. If you take any medication, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before use.
- If you are due to have surgery, tell your doctor you are taking this and stop well beforehand.
- Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Contains soy.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle.
