Think Drink is a "brain brew" brought to you by UCLA-trained PhD Neuroscientists, who refused to abuse stimulants to be more productive.  For too long, people who are under pressure to get more done in today's world only see coffee, energy drinks or medications as viable options.  

This team from Duke, UCLA, and USC got together decided to change that by measuring people's electrical brainwaves under stressful conditions to quantify what optimal productivity and attention look like in the brain (its complicated and nerdy).  

Over 18 months, they crafted the Think Drink recipe based on this data and product trials, landing on a blend designed as a safe way to optimize productivity and attention for folks who are stressed and don't have the ideal amount of sleep (aka everyone they know). 

How does it work?

Think Drinks are designed to address the fundamental components of brain chemistry by stimulating blood­ flow to deliver oxygen and nourishment to the brain. This boost of cognitive nutrition is intended to create optimal conditions for productivity, complex reasoning, and sustained energy while also keeping your brain healthy for the long term. Think Drinks were created by our team of Neuroscientists who refused to accept that the only choices they had were coffee, RedBull, or Adderall in order to be really deficient and productive in order to achieve the ultimate work-life balance.

Our Neuroscience team is led by Dr. Andrew Hill and Dr. Aida Attar, both UCLA trained, along with Garrett Ruhland (Neurochemist from Duke and Roya Hashemi-Rad (NeuoEngineer from USC).  Our team shared a common goal over the past 18 months and has decades of experience in studying cognitive optimization and its applications in enhancing various brain functions. Their aim is to give you the competitive and sustainable edge of focused cognitive performance as an everyday alternative to the over ­reliance on addictive caffeine and sugary energy drinks.

A Regimen for Focus and Productivity

Think Drinks provide the ultimate support in improving mental stamina.  While consumers will see improvement right away with the drinks, the real change in productivity is found by being patience and regular with the regimen...this is simply how the brain works with non-stimulants.  Think Drinks come in four functional varities (each is a one­ ounce shot):


What Think Drinks are Designed to do for You

● Improve your focus, attention, and mental stamina

● Optimize your productivity and work efficiency

● Lower barrier of procrastination

● Gives you an edge that is safe for the long run


We designed Think Drinks for.....

Think Drink consumers are willing to invest in something more premium and advanced than simple caffeine-based sugar drinks.

Think Drinks are for hard workers,­ the people who want to come home happy because they made the best of a productive day. Think Drinks can give consumers the necessary fuel to work not only harder but also with peak concentration - the focus needed to do exceptional work in record time.

Science/Research

For decades cognitive enhancers (colloquially termed nootropics) have been consumed all over the world to improve mental stamina and underlying cognitive health. "Brain fitness" on the nutrition side is not only about supplying your brain with necessary nutrients, but it is also about optimizing the cellular machinery that utilizes those nutrients. Think Drinks are designed with the intent to facilitate and enhance cellular metabolism and increase cell membrane permeability in order to maximize your brain’s potential by allowing your neurons (brain cells) to communicate more effectively. The resultant change is noted to be a heightened level of alertness and a greater ability to effectively execute complex reasoning tasks. Our team of neuroscientists have performed extensive research in order to design the perfect nootropic blend meant to both enhance and positively modulate attention and focus which they measure through brain waves to prove the products efficacy. We only use safe ingredients designed with long-term use in mind that have been clinically studied for decades by the world’s most prominent scientists and institutions. 

How do we know it works

We can actually see the benefits of Think Drinks in real-­time by measuring brainwave activity. By attaching non-invasive electrodes to a person’s scalp, we can directly quantify attention and focus through QEEG analysis. In our latest experiment, we brought in Wall Street traders to our Beverly Hills lab and had them day-trade under stressful market conditions, mapping their brains in a live working environment while tracking their performance both on and off Think Drinks. 

Our Think Drinks formula is designed help your brain create an optimal mindset for calm focus and attention, developed to enhance both Alpha and Beta brain waves, which are associated with mental concentration, alertness, and complex reasoning.



Ingredients: The Think Drinks blend is a mix of cognitive enhancers, nutrients and modulators

Cognitive enhancers are the main drivers designed to improve neurotransmission and neuroprotection.

Nutrients are the essential building blocks for cellular function.

Modulators regulate and sustain the cognitive enhancers in our blend.


Sweeteners/Flavoring Include:

Monk Fruit­­ - A fruit used in Ancient Chinese Medicine whose extract can be 300 times sweeter than natural sugar. Along with being a low­ calorie sweetener, monk fruit contains a high vitamin C content while also serving as a potent antioxidant.

● Stevia­­ - A natural plant­ derived sweetener that can also be 300 times sweeter than natural sugar and has a minimal effect on blood glucose levels. 

Blue Agave­ -­ A natural sugar derived from the agave plant that stands lower in the glycemic index that regular table sugar.

● Cane Sugar­­ - Naturally occurring, low ­processed sugar.

Cranberry and Pomegranate Concentrate -­­ Convey potent antioxidants that improve immune function and cardiovascular health.

FAQ

Are Think Drinks safe?

Yes. It’s safer than table salt. 

Why are Think Drinks better than something with just caffeine, such as an energy shot?

The truth is energy drinks are really just caffeine. That’s pretty much the only gain people get from them, aside from maybe a series of B vitamins that are thrown in there. Think Drinks are a series of specific ingredients that all help with cognitive optimization.­ They go far beyond caffeine. 


Can I take it with other source of energy?

Yes, Think Drinks actually compliment caffeine.

How long does it take to work and how long do its effects last?­

Noticeable effects present themselves within 10­-15 minutes of consumption, and last up to five hours.

What are the best times to have a think drink?­

Take the AM drink during or before breakfast and the PM Drink about 5 hours later or midday. Take Turbos as needed.

Is there a tolerance that forms over time?

No, there is no tolerance buildup. Piracetam actually exhibits a reverse tolerance. The user becomes more receptive to it the longer they take it.

Is it physically or psychologically addictive?­

No,­ it’s neither physically nor psychologically addictive. In fact, we designed Think Drinks to be neuroprotective. 


Will Think Drinks alter my mood/emotions?

No. Having an ability to increase focus might put someone in a better mood, but there is no direct cause and effect with affecting emotions.

How do I consume it?

You can drink these like a shot or dilute in water.

Will it affect my sleeping patterns or my sleep?

Given the diminished need for stimulants like caffeine, users will experience a normalization in sleep patterns. Both falling asleep and waking will become easier, and many users will present with vivid dreams.
