Dial In. Stay Sharp.

One capsule. That's the whole ritual. Sharp Mind is built for the moment right before you need to be switched all the way on — walking into a session, sitting down to finally finish the thing, stepping up when the room is watching. It's a focused stack of Bacopa monnieri and phosphatidylserine for cognitive support, Alpha GPC and Huperzine A for neurological health, and a measured pairing of caffeine with L-theanine for clean, steady focus — without the spike-and-crash caffeine can bring on its own. GABA and L-tyrosine round it out, included for their roles in the brain's normal response to stress.

Take one capsule daily with water. This one's built for when the work needs your full attention.

The Creative's Advantage.

Cognitive Function, Covered Bacopa monnieri and phosphatidylserine are two of the more researched botanicals for supporting memory, focus, and overall cognitive performance — the foundation the rest of the formula builds on.

Mental Focus, Minus the Jitters Caffeine and L-theanine work as a pair, not solo acts — the combination has been studied for producing steadier, more sustained attention than caffeine alone tends to deliver.

A Normal Stress Response GABA and L-tyrosine are included for their roles in supporting the brain's normal response to stress — helping you stay clear-headed instead of frazzled when the pressure's on.

Neurological Health Alpha GPC and Huperzine A support neurotransmitter function — the signaling system memory and learning actually run on.

Ingredients: Niacin (as niacinamide), Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride). Proprietary Blend — 255 mg: GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), L-Tyrosine, Caffeine, Bacopa monnieri Extract (whole herb), Phosphatidylserine 20% (sunflower), Alpha GPC (Alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine) Powder, L-Theanine, Huperzine A 1% (Huperzia serrata, whole herb). Other ingredients: Gelatin (capsule), Brown Rice Flour.

Caffeine: 50 mg per capsule, as stated by our supplier. Caffeine is part of the proprietary blend, so the label doesn't list its amount; based on ingredient order, it cannot exceed about 85 mg. The amounts of the other blend ingredients are not disclosed by the manufacturer.

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, adults take one (1) capsule daily. For best results, take with 6–8 oz of water, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Caution: Do not use if under age 18. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Contains caffeine. Consult a medical doctor before use if you have any medical condition or family history of any disease, including (but not limited to) hypotension, hypertension, heart, liver, or thyroid disease, diabetes, psychiatric disease, asthma, pernicious anemia, anxiety, depression, seizure disorder, cardiac arrhythmia, stroke, prostate enlargement, or if you are taking any prescription drug. Do not exceed recommended dose. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place.

Stacking Notice: Six NutraNova products contain caffeine: Amplify Energy Powder (200 mg per 2-scoop serving), Lock In Focus Powder (200 mg per 2-scoop serving), Stage Rush Pre-Workout (175 mg per scoop), Ignite Energy Strips (50 mg per strip), Sharp Mind Capsules (50 mg per capsule as stated by our supplier, and no more than about 85 mg) and In The Zone Capsules (amount not disclosed; from green tea extract in a proprietary blend). Do not combine these products, and do not exceed 400 mg of total caffeine per day from all sources, including coffee, tea and energy drinks. The Creative's Daily Multivitamin also contains green tea extract, a natural source of caffeine, in an amount that isn't disclosed. Count it toward your daily total.

Real sourcing behind Sharp Mind — here's what the science says about the formula's key ingredients:

Bacopa Monnieri & Cognitive Speed — A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (437 subjects total) found Bacopa monnieri supplementation improved cognition, particularly speed of attention — including a shortened Trail Making Test time and decreased choice reaction time compared to placebo. (Source: Journal of Ethnopharmacology, National Library of Medicine)

Phosphatidylserine & Stress Response — In a study of healthy men, 800 mg of phosphatidylserine reduced the cortisol response following induced physical stress compared to placebo. Separate research using EEG found phosphatidylserine supplementation altered cortical activity patterns measured after induced mental stress. (Source: Neuroendocrinology; cortical activity study reviewed via ResearchGate)

Caffeine + L-Theanine & Focus — In a randomized controlled trial, adults given 97 mg of L-theanine combined with 40 mg of caffeine showed significantly improved accuracy during task-switching and higher self-reported alertness, with reduced self-reported tiredness, compared to placebo. A broader review of 11 randomized, placebo-controlled studies confirmed the combination consistently improves attentional measures beyond what either ingredient produces alone. (Sources: Nutritional Neuroscience; review by Camfield et al., National Library of Medicine)

L-Tyrosine & Working Memory Under Pressure — In a randomized, placebo-controlled study, L-tyrosine supplementation significantly improved working memory accuracy during a demanding multitasking battery compared to placebo — an effect researchers have linked to tyrosine's role as a precursor to the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine, which become depleted under stress and cognitive load.

Alpha GPC & Cognitive Performance — A 2024 randomized, placebo-controlled study found acute Alpha GPC supplementation enhanced cognitive performance in healthy men. (Source: Nutrients, National Library of Medicine)

Huperzine A — an honest note on the evidence — Huperzine A works by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter central to memory and learning — a well-established mechanism. Most of the robust human clinical trials, however, have been conducted in older adults rather than healthy younger adults, so we're not overstating what's been directly proven for this audience. (Source: meta-analyses, National Library of Medicine)

GABA — an honest note on the evidence — Whether orally-ingested GABA actually crosses the blood-brain barrier is scientifically debated. That said, a systematic review of human trials found consistent reports of reduced stress markers after oral GABA intake, with researchers proposing the effect may work through gut-brain and peripheral nervous system pathways rather than direct entry into the brain.
