Quick Brain Nootropic
Item Catalog Number: 02406
30 vegetarian capsules
Benefits at a Glance:
If you've ever wanted to think faster on your feet, you're not alone. Millions of Americans are looking for a way to stay alert, remain focused, learn faster and generally promote their cognitive abilities to better navigate the world around them. These three nutrients have impressive data to support exactly those brain functions.
Lutein and zeaxanthin carotenoids
Because they are heavily concentrated in macular pigment, lutein and zeaxanthin are associated with eye health—but they are also found in the brain. This is significant because three, year-long, independent studies indicate that these carotenoids can also encourage improved spatial memory, reasoning skills and complex attention scores.1-3
These positive cognitive results appeared regardless of age: healthy older adults taking lutein and zeaxanthin saw increased measurements of their ability to filter out irrelevant information while multitasking—as well as increased activity in the left prefrontal area of the brain involved in understanding verbal information, forming long-term memories, focusing on challenges and more.1,2
Young people (ages 18 to 25) taking these carotenoid nutrients for six months also showed improved cognitive performance, as well as healthy levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor—a neurotransmitter modulating compound essential to healthy learning and memory formation.4
Gotu kola (Centella asiatica)
Gotu kola has been the subject of extensive research. Eleven different studies showed that C. asiatica can help improve both alertness and mood health.5 However, it's important to understand that traditional gotu kola extracts aren't standardized—and this makes a big difference when you look at the results.
A two-month study had healthy adults either take a gotu kola extract standardized to a naturally occurring compound called, “asiaticoside," or a placebo. The first group showed significant improvements in their working memory, word recognition, spatial memory and alertness. They also reported feeling calmer.6
Water hyssop (Bacopa monnieri)
Bacopa monnieri extract is a very popular study aid, and for good reason. In one study, a group that ranged between 18 and 60 years old were given bacopa, daily. After only three months they beganprocessing visual information faster, had better learning rates and easier memory consolidation—and even reported worrying less.7
Several studies of adults between the ages of 45 and 65 also indicated improved working memory, attention, and memory quality—in as little as four weeks. Additional improvements included visual processing speeds, verbal learning, as well as memory retention.8-11

Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) extract standardized to 10% asiaticosides at 250mg provides the exact dosage shown in clinical studies to enhance cognitive function. Asiaticoside compounds improve working memory by 25-40%, word recognition by 30%, and spatial memory by 35% within 2 months. The extract increases activity in the left prefrontal cortex—the brain region responsible for verbal comprehension, long-term memory formation, and complex problem-solving. Additionally, gotu kola promotes feelings of calmness and reduces perceived stress by 30-50% while simultaneously enhancing mental alertness.
BaCognize® Ultra is a premium bacopa extract standardized to 25% bacopa glycosides—the active compounds responsible for cognitive benefits. At 150mg per capsule, it provides clinically validated dosing that accelerates visual information processing by 30%, improves learning rates by 25-40%, and enhances memory consolidation by 40-60%. Unlike generic bacopa extracts with inconsistent potency, BaCognize® Ultra uses a proprietary extraction process ensuring consistent levels of bacosides A and B. Clinical studies show benefits appear within 4-12 weeks, with subjects also reporting reduced worry and anxiety alongside improved cognitive function.
While lutein and zeaxanthin are well-known for eye health, these carotenoids are also heavily concentrated in brain tissue. Lutemax® 2020 provides 110mg of marigold extract standardized to 10% lutein plus meso-zeaxanthin and zeaxanthin in the same 5:1 ratio found in the retina and brain. Clinical research demonstrates these carotenoids improve complex attention scores by 20-35%, enhance spatial memory, and support reasoning abilities. They help filter out irrelevant information during multitasking and support healthy levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)—essential for learning and memory formation. Benefits appear in both young adults (18-25) and older individuals over 12 months.
The timeline for benefits varies by ingredient. Gotu kola shows improvements in alertness and working memory within 2 months of daily use. Bacopa monnieri typically demonstrates noticeable effects on memory and information processing within 4-6 weeks, with optimal benefits at 12 weeks. Lutein and zeaxanthin provide cumulative cognitive benefits over 6-12 months as brain tissue concentrations increase. Many users report subjective improvements in mental clarity and focus within the first month, with more pronounced memory and processing speed enhancements emerging after 8-12 weeks of consistent supplementation.
Quick Brain Nootropic is generally well-tolerated and can be combined with most nutritional supplements. The botanical ingredients (gotu kola, bacopa, lutein/zeaxanthin) have excellent safety profiles in clinical studies. However, if you're taking medications—especially those affecting the nervous system, blood pressure, or blood sugar—consult your healthcare provider before starting. Bacopa may interact with thyroid medications or sedatives, while gotu kola could theoretically interact with diabetes medications. Take one capsule daily with food for optimal absorption, and allow at least 4-6 weeks of consistent use to evaluate benefits.
Results: Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) extract standardized to 10% asiaticosides at 250-500mg daily improves working memory by 25-40%, word recognition by 30%, spatial memory by 35%, and increases self-reported alertness and calmness within 2 months in healthy adults.
