Rise Up contains four main nootropic ingredients – Alpha-GPC, Huperzine A, Lion’s Mane and Natural Caffeine. They are designed to work together and be fast acting. Alpha-GPC is the precursor to the production of Acetylcholine, and important focusing neurotransmitter in the brain. Huperzine A works in tandem with Alpha-GPC to increase the availability of Acetylcholine. Lion’s Mane is an adaptogen that is known for its brain health support by supporting neuron synaptic connections and reducing the symptoms of memory loss. Natural Caffeine, which is popular as an energizing stimulant, also has benefits of increasing mental alertness and concentration while reducing mental fatigue. Too much caffeine can cause side effects like jitters or anxiousness and can also keep you up at night if taken too late in the day. We use a low dose of 36mg caffeine in Rise Up to avoid these issues.
