Mind Lab Pro Review

Overall Rating:

Good Points	Bad Points
All Natural 30 day Guarantee with every order Vast Profile of Nutrients Full Cognitive Enhancing Stack Endorsed by a Chess Grandmaster	Can only be bought from their site Lion’s Mane might be underdosed

Mind Lab Pro is the only nootropic I’ve never stopped taking. 

I’m usually pretty skeptical when it comes to most nootropic stacks – but after reading the testimonials online, I figured I’d try one box and see if it lived up to the hype.

I heard about it first on Reddit, and then decided to do some digging for myself.

This is a full review – I cover what you get with Mind Lab Pro, what I experienced the first time taking it, and why I still use it today.

What is Mind Lab Pro?

Mind Lab Pro (MLP) is an all-natural nootropic stack made by Opti-Nutra – they’re a small nutraceutical outfit and MLP is currently their only product.

Here’s what they claim it can do:

• Whole Brain Optimization – Peak your overall mental performance.
• Adapts to any activity – Claims you’ll perform better in work, sports and even general conversation.
• Stimulant-Free Cogntive Enhancement – Works without the need of caffeine to speed tings along.
• Promotes long-term brain function – Contains nutrients that promote overall health of your brain and defends against cognitive decline.
• Vegan Friendly – All natural nutrients and capsules that are safe, and meat-free.

What struck me as interesting with Opti-Nutra is their faith in Mind Lab Pro. Most new supplement companies seem to be cutting corners wherever they can, however Opti-Nutra have gone all-out with Vegan capsules and a 100% money back guarantee if you don’t like it after the first 30 days.

It seems iron clad too, check it out:

Their confidence in the brand is a good sign.

What Made Me Try It

One of the points that really sold it to me was this testimonial from Nigel Short, who is essentially the Mozart of Chess, and was the youngest International Grandmaster (Elite Level Player) – now he’s the oldest. Many of these players as they get older lose their edge and can no longer compete – but not Nigel, he has been in the top 100 rankings for nearly his entire life.

I respect him a lot, and have been a fan of him for few years, so when he described MLP as a ‘God Send’, I had to try it.

Seriously, watch this video and tell me you aren’t curious about trying MLP:

In addition, it’s all made in a safe and approved cGMP approved facility (essentially meaning the FDA like how it’s made), there’s no chance of heavy metals or any of that other nasty stuff you risk with some supplements.

You can find out more about all of this over on their website, they’ve even got more testimonials too: http://www.mindlabpro.com/

What does the Stack look like?

Right off the bat:

There are no proprietary blends in this product – we know exactly what we’re getting, and how much of it we are too. Amazingly, that’s a pretty rare thing – but don’t take that as a green-light that MLP is good. It also depends on what ingredients they’re using.

This is what you’re in for, if you’ve ever made your own stack before you’ll definitely recognize some of these ingredients:

• Vitamin B6
• Vitamin B12
• Citicoline
• Bacopa Monnieri
• Lion’s Mane Mushroom
• Phosphatidylserine
• Pine Bark Extract
• N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine
• L-Theanine
• Rhodiola Rosea

Some of those you’ll have heard of before – as you can see there’s a lot of good choices here.

What you need to know about the Main Ingredients

Citicoline (250mg)

An all-rounder nootropic.

Citicoline is essentially a stimulant-free energy booster for your brain – making it perform better in all kinds of ways.

The brand Mind Lab Pro uses, Cognizin, has been seen in human studies to promote mood, memory, attention, focus and concentration. It’s a solid choice.

Bacopa Monnieri (150mg)

Ideal for controlling the situation, promoting focus, calmness and your brain’s ability to learn.

Bacopa is an interesting herb that has some great benefits when supplemented. Once absorbed, the Bacosides (antioxidants) in the herb boost your brain’s acetylcholine, GABA and serotonin – these are key to focus, mood and memory (which also promotes learning).

This is all good for handling stress too – researchers believe that this may make you process things a lot quicker in high-pressure situations, like meeting a deadline.

Phosphatidylserine (100mg)

If you’ve read any of my other reviews, you’ll know I love Phosphatidylserine – It helps sharpen your mind, and make sure it stays that way.

Phosphatidylserine has both long and short term benefits – and they’re all focused on memory. The main thing you need to know about the science of PS is that it helps brain cell energy, and support overall brain cell creation.

It improves memory and prevents again cognitive decline. There’s even some evidence of it improving mood too. It’s a solid choice.

L-Theanine (100mg)

Similar to Bacopa, L-Theanine also helps with focus and calmness – but there’s a lot more emphasis on the latter.

L-Theanine is one of the better nootropics for relaxation, while also sharpening your attention span. It also works well with caffeine, in-fact, that combination is so popular is commonly referred to as ‘smart-caffeine’. You get a boost from the stimulant, but a lot more control.

I’ve done it a few times, and it does work – but for my money, I like to keep my everyday work caffeine-free.

Honorable Mentions:

• Rhodiola Rosea – Has been shown to improve calm thinking, mental processing, memory and resistance to physical stress.

• L-Tyrosine – Promotes memory and multi-tasking, even with sleep deprivation or physical fatigue.

• Vinpocetine – Supports memory function, concentration and memory.

So what didn’t I like?

Of course, no nootropic stack ever gets it entirely right. This is what you need to know about the other side of Mind Lab Pro.

From the Stack:

Lion’s Mane just isn’t that great – but thankfully it’s only a minor ingredient.

It’s a cognitive enhancer thought to help reduce anxiety, depression and cognitive decline – but you need a lot of it to get the full effects. MLP only contains 500mg per serving. Studies have shown you need between 1000 – 3000mg for any real effects – however, they’re pretty minor anyway.

If you supplemented extra Lion’s Mane on the side, you wouldn’t notice much difference.

Apart from that, the stack itself is pretty damn good.

Purchasing:

You can only buy from their site: http://www.mindlabpro.com

As I’ve said, Mind Lab Pro is premium priced product – there are no discounts, or discount codes. However, there is a buy 3-get-1-free offer, and some deals on shipping, so it’s not all bad.

For you what you get, it’s ‘middle of the road’ reasonable – 30 days supply of 2 caps a day for $65.00 – essentially $2.17 a day.

I just gave up coffee, it’s works a hell of a lot cheaper than a Starbucks – and the focus you get lasts a lot longer too.

How I take Mind Lab Pro

I take mine in the morning – 2 capsules a day, about an hour before I start work. There’s 60 capsules in a box of Mind Lab Pro so this works out nicely to a month package.

When I will start to feel the effects?

For me, I noticed after the first week.

I’ve heard some people notice after 2, and others after the first day – though I’m sure those guys are experiencing placebo effects.

I had taken it Monday – Sunday, and maybe noticed a few placebo-like effects, more energized etc. In the second week however, the real effects were noticeable.

That second Monday I finished work and realized it was an hour earlier than when I usually do. The heightened state of productivity almost crept up on me, but once I became aware of it, it was pretty fun to measure.

Are there any side effects?

Not that I’ve noticed. In my experience, and from what I’ve read from others online, Mind Lab Pro appears to be side-effect free.

It makes sense with the wholly natural approach they’ve taken though – and the fact that they’ve stayed away from caffeine.

Mind Lab Pro Conclusion

Just before my first month ended – I ordered the 3 month supply, and I still take it today.

Mind Lab Pro is the best nootropic out there. Almost everything in this nootropic has a core purpose to improving your mental performance, and it does it very well.

As far as I can tell the only ingredient that’s under-dosed is the Lion’s Mane, however, the effects of this nootropic aren’t that impacting.

What I like is that it’s all natural and totally vegan supplement. I’ve experienced no side effects taking it, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to get that edge on their work-life, general productivity or just feeling mentally faster.

And as every purchase comes complete with a 30 day money back guarantee, you’re running at virtually no risk of losing out.
