A nootropic is a brain booster. A natural or synthetic substance – sometime called 'smart drugs' – that helps to enhance brainpower and mental performance. Supporting memory, focus, concentration, attention, motivation, relaxation, mood, alertness, stress resistance, and other aspects of cognitive function. Some nootropics also support long-term brain health.
Pronounced 'no-a-tro-pik', the word was introduced in 1972 by Dr. Corneliu Giurgea. A Romanian chemist and psychologist who defined a nootropic as having 5 key characteristics:
Improves memory and the ability to learn.
Enhances focus, attention, and processing of information.
Supports cognitive performance under pressure.
Protects brain function and promotes long-range health.
Is free from stims, toxins and negative side-effects.
MLP® is a brain supplement made up of 11 research-backed nootropic ingredients. Targeting multiple brain pathways: brain energy, brain chemicals, brain circulation, brain regeneration, brain protection and brain waves. MLP® has been designed as a Universal Nootropic™ – the world's first. Enhancing daily mental performance and supporting long-range brain function.
Yes. MLP® has been scientifically proven to work in multiple double-blind, placebo-controlled human trials. Conducted independently by the University of Leeds (in the UK). After taking MLP® for just 30 days subjects showed improvements in processing information, dynamic anticipation, decision-making and memory (short and long-range). The full findings have been published in respected peer-reviewed journals and are available to read here.
MLP® is the world's first Universal Nootropic™ formula. A ground-breaking stack of 11 evidence-backed nootropic ingredients – in advanced forms. Intelligently blended to complement each other and work better together. Making MLP® more than the sum of its parts. Supporting multiple brain pathways to enhance all types of cognitive performance in all types of people.
Almost certainly. Most people notice a difference within hours of taking MLP®. For others it may take a few days. And your improvements will steadily increase the longer you take it.
And if for some reason it doesn't, your first purchase is covered by a 30-day performance promise. That gives you a full month to put it to the test. If you don't notice the difference by then, we'll give you a full product refund. No questions asked. Simply get in touch with our customer care team.
Sorry, but no. MLP® is a superior quality supplement featuring premium ingredients in advanced forms. In order to keep the formula affordable, we cannot offer freebies or samples. It is simply not practical.
We prefer to provide a 30-day performance promise on your first purchase. This allows you to put MLP® to the test for a full month, covered by a money back guarantee. No questions asked.
Yes. MLP® is vegan certified. Made with 100% plant-based ingredients and comes in vegan NutriCaps® – made from pullulan (fermented tapioca), a prebiotic fiber.
Absolutely. MLP® is the cleanest, greenest nootropic brain supplement on the planet.
100% plant-based (vegan certified), sustainably sourced and produced in GMP-certified, FDA-registered facilities. Packed and shipped in recyclable boxes. And soon our bottles will be made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials.
Sustainability is key to the company ethos. Our NutriGenesis® B-vitamins have set a new standard in eco-friendly essentials. They are lab-grown in pristine environments, away from pesticides, herbicides and over farming practices that negatively impact on the production of many vitamin and mineral forms.
We are B Corp™ certified. Which means we meet the highest standards for social & environmental performance, transparency & accountability.
Only good ones. All 11 ingredients in MLP® are 100% natural and safe. Many of which come in upgraded, advanced forms that are easier for the body to absorb and utilize. We take these quality steps to ensure MLP® works for all kinds of people and suits all lifestyles. It is also the only nootropic formula of its kind with a clean label.
MLP® is the world's cleanest nootropic supplement. Our clean label means that every ingredient is safe, pure and premium quality. With no synthetic additives or preservatives. Non-GMO and non-irradiated. Contains no soy, egg, fish, dairy, peanut, tree nut or wheat. And free of gluten, allergen and caffeine-free.
If you check the 'other ingredients' on our supplement facts, you will only see NuFlow® Rice Concentrate – a clean flow agent, necessary for efficient and stable manufacturing. And NutriCaps® - the world's cleanest capsule. Each one packed with natural, brain-boosting nootropics. Nothing more, nothing less.
For best results, take your first 2 capsules in the morning before food.
You can take it with water, juice, coffee. Whatever you like.
During periods of intense mental activity – such as studying for exams, challenging work conditions, or preparing for competition – you can take a further 2 capsules after lunch.
Cycling refers to the practice of taking a supplement every day – 'on cycle'. Then taking a break – 'off cycle' – intermittently.
Cycling is believed to “reset” the body's built-up tolerance to a supplement, allowing that supplement to consistently work at its true full potency.
MLP® does not require cycling. Most people take 2-4 capsules daily and consistently with no reported tolerance issues.
But if you wish to, we recommend following a '4 weeks on, 1 week off' cycle. Or a '5 days on, 2 days off' cycle.
First you may notice increased alertness. Sharper focus. Better recall and verbal fluidity.
The ability to concentrate over longer periods. Greater clarity and speed of thought. Improved mental agility. More motivation and brighter mood.
At work, at play. In all areas of your life.
In the gym – more motivation, drive & intensity.
At the office – improved focus & multitasking skills.
During study – more mental energy & clarity in exams.
In competition – improved strategic thinking & reaction times.
At leisure – lucid, calm & creative. Communicating fluently.
Like all good habits, MLP® delivers measurable that accumulate subtly over time. Boosting your daily brainpower and supporting long-range healthy function.
The improvements you see will steadily increase the longer you take it. In fact, many only recognise how effective it is when they stop!
Be smart. If you are taking medication or have health concerns, it is essential you consult your doctor before taking MLP®. Our formulation is ultraclean, but interactions are always possible.

Yes. You can take MLP® with caffeine.
Unlike many nootropic supplements, MLP® does not rely on caffeine to amplify the impact. It is 100% stimulant free.
But it does feature ingredients that actively complement caffeine. Improving the effect.
Take 2 capsules with your morning coffee for a smoother lift. To power up for the day with clean, calm, jitter-free mental energy.
We recommend 2-4 capsules per day.
MLP® is an open-source formula with all ingredient dosages listed clearly on the label. That way you know exactly what you're putting in your body. Many of the nootropic ingredients are presented in clinically supported dosages at a regular 2-capsule serving size.
Doubling to a 4-capsule serving will bring the formula up to clinical-range dosage across all 11 ingredients.
MLP® undergoes multiple quality control and quality assurance checks before, during, and after the manufacturing process. We are validated by an independent third-party auditing company to ensure purity, potency and label accuracy.
We publish Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for each finished batch of MLP®here.
MLP® is certified vegan and vegetarian. Tested and certified by Clean Label project, Illuminate Labs, Lab Door, and Consumer Lab. You can learn more about the extensive quality testing that goes into Mind Lab Pro®here.
Very favourably. MLP® is the world's first Universal Nootropic™. Intelligently designed to boost aspects of cognition in all types of people. From students to athletes to entrepreneurs to active older adults.
MLP® is the ONLY nootropic formula scientifically proven to enhance brainpower. In multiple double-blind, placebo-controlled human trials. Conducted independently by the University of Leeds (in the UK).
With results published in peer reviewed academic journals. You can read – and watch – more about these studies here.
Yes, absolutely. All the ingredients in MLP® 100% are safe, legal and free of banned substances highlighted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). So it can be taken as a cognitive performance-enhancer by professional, amateur and collegiate athletes and gamers.
We use NutriCaps® - the highest quality, most pure and natural capsules on the market.
NutriCaps® are 100% plant-based (vegan certified), made from pullulan - a type of natural fermented tapioca. NutriCaps® dissolve easily, completely and comfortably in the digestive system. Optimizing absorption and utilization of MLP®'s nootropic ingredients.
NutriCaps® also supply a small amount of prebiotic nutrition that may further promote healthy, comfortable digestion.
Many manufacturers use gelatin (from questionable animal origin) or vegetarian “cellulose” (a.k.a HPMC, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hypromellose) capsules that appear natural. But don't be fooled – they are actually made with a semi-synthetic polymer that doesn't fit many natural lifestyles.
The MLP® formula includes NutriGenesis® vitamins B6+B9+B12 for their brain health and performance benefits.
NutriGenesis® is a unique process that unlocks the full performance-enhancing potential of vitamins. Using cutting-edge patented technology that replicates nutritional genesis in nature.
Supplying our B vitamins with a matrix of cofactors including Bioactive glycoproteins, Bioactive Lipoproteins, Bioactive Enzymes, Chlorophyll, Glucomannan, SOD, Glutathione, Beta-Glucans, Lipoic Acid, Essential trace minerals, Glutamic Acid, Polysaccharides, CoQ10 and other compounds.
As well as optimizing potency and bioavailability, NutriGenesis® vitamins are cleaner, safer and more environmentally responsible than typical vitamin forms.
Sometimes additives are necessary to maintain supplement quality. MLP® uses only one: NuFlow® Rice Concentrate, which functions as a natural flow agent during the manufacturing process.
We feel that synthetic additives that may harm nerve and brain health have no place in a nootropic supplement.
Mind Lab Pro® (MLP®) started life in 2015. The year of the 'smart drug'.
We'd heard the hype coming out of Silicon Valley. We'd seen the movie Limitless. But we'd also heard about the downsides – the hangovers. The crashes. The burnout. The dubious ingredients. The dangerous mega doses.
That didn't sound too 'smart' to us.
Our mission was to create something superior. Cleaner. Smarter. Something that matched our limitless ambitions. But with no nasty side effects. And scientifically proven to work.
MLP® was designed and formulated in the United Kingdom and is manufactured in state-of-the-art, FDA-registered and GMP-certified facilities in the USA and Europe.
