A proprietary KOIOS capsule blend versus an open older formula
Both were discussed as two-capsule servings, but capsule count is not a fair proxy for quality or potency. The original criticism attributed KOIOS’s shortcomings to rice flour without demonstrating how much was present or whether it affected outcomes. The genuine limitation was incomplete dose information, not the mere existence of an excipient.
What the archived formulas contained
KOIOS: the version described here
The KOIOS version described here was a capsule product with B vitamins and a Mental Titan blend containing ingredients such as eleuthero, tyrosine, alpha-GPC, bacopa and guarana. The blend limited individual dose visibility.
Mind Lab Pro: the version described here
The Mind Lab Pro account described individual amounts for its ingredient list and no added caffeine in that version. It featured citicoline, theanine, phosphatidylserine and botanical ingredients.
What this comparison can establish
This archive supports a transparency comparison and a check of guarana-related caffeine information. It cannot establish that the older KOIOS formula was clinically weak or that Mind Lab Pro delivered “unlimited” cognition.
The old overall winner and price-per-serving ranking have been removed. A formula description can identify differences, but it cannot by itself establish clinical superiority. Before using an archived comparison for a purchase, match the exact product name and version to a dated manufacturer label, including serving size, ingredient amounts and relevant warnings. Do not transfer old directions to a different formula.
Keep the comparison separate from the product review
This page answers the pairwise question above. The individual reviews provide the separate product histories, label discussions and evidence limitations: Mind Lab Pro Review; Vitamin B6 Review; Vitamin B12 Review. A historical mention here is not evidence of current availability or discontinuation.
