Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic Review

About Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic

• As part of Beyond Raw’s Chemistry Labs series, Nootropic is exactly what it says: a nootropic. More specifically, a nootropic powder stack — no capsules, pills, tablets, etc.
• Even more specifically, Nootropic is filled with nootropic herbal extracts, cognitive enhancing compounds, and antioxidant-rich coffee extract.
• Despite laying down some high quality nootropic ingredients and brands, Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic is reasonably priced (at $1.17 per serving at time of writing).

Serving Size: 1 Scoop
Servings Per Container: 30
Other Ingredients: Natural Flavors.
Directions: As a dietary supplement, mix one scoop with 8 oz of water or other beverage.

Honestly, this is one of the more impressive nootropic formulas I’ve come across. Nootropic is a truly nootropic brain stack that’s host to some of my favorite natural cognitive enhancers.

Let’s check them out.

Beyond Raw Chemical Labs Nootropic Review: Ingredients

Tyrosine (as Acetyl L-Tyrosine) – During moments of high stress, high activity, or no sleep, the brain burns tyrosine to stay afloat. And when your tyrosine reserves run empty? *CRASH!* This makes supplementing tyrosine, preferably N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, a smart move under stressful conditions — e.g., exam day, game day, etc. More on L-Tyrosine.

Bacopa Monnieri (as Synapsa®) – Similar to tyrosine, Bacopa monnieri also possesses significant anti-stress adaptogen properties. Yet, Bacopa is perhaps better known for its benefits on memory and learning, making it a prime choice for students and brain-workers. More on Bacopa Monnieri.

Theacrine (as TeaCrine®) – Most nootropic enthusiasts stack their caffeine with L-theanine (see next ingredient). However, theacrine may also enhance the caffeine experience, due to the compound’s caffeine-like structure, which seems to lengthen caffeine’s effects over a greater period of time.

L-Theanine (as Suntheanine®) – Quality brand of an awesome, anxiolytic nootropic, Suntheanine® promotes alpha brainwaves, which are associated with calm, creative, meditative thinking. Stacking L-theanine with caffeine may help minimize caffeine’s jittery side effects while keeping the drug’s boost on focus and mental energy. More on L-Theanine.

Coffee Fruit Concentrate (as NeuroFactor™) – Preserving more of coffee bean’s bio-active constituents, NeuroFactor™ supplies a healthy dose of brain-building and -protecting polyphenols found in coffee beans.

Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) – When the sun goes down, GABA levels go up. GABA is the neurotransmitter responsible for sleep and relaxation. Unfortunately, GABA, as a supplement, doesn’t seem to do much — which is why picamilon, an orally bio-active version of GABA, was created. (Which is a useless fact here, given that Beyond Raw stuck with standard GABA.) More on GABA.

Rhodiola Root Extract (Std. to 3% Rosavins) – One of my favorite nootropic adaptogens, Rhodiola rosea is a fast-acting anti-stress, anti-fatigue herb with significant physical and mental performance enhancement potential. Beyond Raw gives us the proper 3% extract form. More on Rhodiola Rosea.

Huperzia Serrata Extract (Std. to 1% Huperzine A) – In tiny doses Huperzine-A goes a long way, improving cognition and memory by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme responsible for acetylcholine breakdown. More on Huperzine A.

Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic Review: Formula Analysis

Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic‘s powder scoop servings are on point. This is a formula that, as the name suggests, is truly nootropic, wasting very little space on nonsense ingredients (the most notable being GABA).

Altogether, I’m seeing a well-crafted mix of:

• Herbal Adaptogen Extracts – Bacopa monnieri, Rhodiola rosea.
• Powerful Nootropic Compounds – Acetyl L-Tyrosine, L-Theanine, Hup-A.
• Antioxidant-Enhanced Coffee Beans – Polyphenols + Theacrine.

And, well, yes, there’s GABA. Which just doesn’t make sense here, as GABA famously doesn’t accomplish much as an oral supplement. This is why we have picamilon, which was structurally designed to overcome GABA’s digestive shortcomings.

Aside from the ingredients, Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic also impresses with its sizable dosages, transparent dosages (thanks to the stack’s non-proprietary status), and high quality (look at those ingredient brands). Clearly, Beyond Raw knows what works in the nootropic game, and how to make what works work even better by ensuring quality and quantity measures are up to standard.

Is Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic a perfect brain health stack? Not quite.

In terms of nootropic diversity, Beyond Raw does a fine enough job. However, this stack could use a cholinergic to pair with the huperzine-A — a nootropic brain-energy cholinergic like, say, citicoline or alpha-GPC. But all things considered, this is a minor gripe for what’s otherwise an awesome “game day” nootropic stack.

The hefty dose of L-tyrosine is certainly what you’ll notice most, which will feel like a quick boost on your mood and focus. “Productivity booster” is always a dubious claim, but I feel it’s appropriate here. With Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic, I certainly noticed a rise in my morning productivity, as well as in my morning workout vitality.

While it’s not a complete nootropic package, Beyond Raw does what it does really well.

Also, yeah, Beyond Raw’s scoops kind of taste like ass, but I’m sorry: get over it. Supplements are functional, and this supplement functions well.

The Pros

• Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic stacks a diverse range of nootropic ingredient types with a tight focus on “game day” mental performance results.

• Look at the pricing below. Beyond Raw is gifting us an exceptionally affordable stack here, especially given the quality of these ingredients.

The Cons

Who Takes Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic?

Given Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic’s minimalistic design, I’m assuming this is a stack that wants to appeal to as many people as possible. The ingredient profile seems fit for both athletes and academics — or really anyone who frequently operates under stress and pressure.

Where to Buy It

You can buy Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic at GNC and Amazon.

Conclusion: Does Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic Work?

And it works particularly well for:

• Mental stimulation
• Stress resistance
• Calm, creative thinking

In other words, Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic works best as an “as-needed” nootropic brain health stack — one to take towards the end of long workday and/or work week. Or prior to an important exam the day after pulling an all-night study sesh.

What I wouldn’t use Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Nootropic for is long-term brain enhancement or any sort of dietary brain nourishment. That’s not what this stacks all about. It’s strictly for that clutch mental performance. And, frankly, we can all use a bit of that from time to time.
