Active Methylated Forms · Bioavailable · No Conversion Required

Vitamin B6 · Vitamin B9 · Vitamin B12

P5P 5 mg (357% NRV) · 5-MTHF 400 mcg (200% NRV) · Methylcobalamin 10 mcg (400% NRV)

Three B vitamins supplied in their active, methylated forms, the versions the brain can use immediately, without requiring conversion by the body.

protection
Active Methylated Forms, Not the Cheap Synthetic Versions Most B-vitamin supplements use inactive forms: pyridoxine HCl, folic acid and cyanocobalamin. These require conversion by the body before they can be used, and a significant portion of the population has genetic variants (MTHFR) that impair this conversion. Mentex Support uses P5P, 5-MTHF and Methylcobalamin, the forms that are already active and immediately usable by the brain.
Vitamin B6
Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate
P5P · Active Coenzyme Form
5 mg
357% NRV
P5P is the active coenzyme form of B6, the form that directly participates in over 100 enzymatic reactions including neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA) and homocysteine metabolism. Standard pyridoxine HCl must be converted to P5P in the liver first.
Vitamin B9
5-Methyltetrahydrofolate
5-MTHF · Methylated Folate
400 mcg
200% NRV
5-MTHF is the biologically active form of folate found in the bloodstream and delivered to cells. Folic acid, used in most supplements, requires the MTHFR enzyme to convert it, which is impaired in up to 40% of people due to common genetic variants.
Vitamin B12
Methylcobalamin
Methyl-B12 · Active Form
10 mcg
400% NRV
Methylcobalamin is the neurologically active form of B12 that crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily than cyanocobalamin. It directly supports myelin sheath synthesis, homocysteine reduction and neuronal regeneration without requiring hepatic conversion.

This B-vitamin trio targets homocysteine, the amino acid linked to accelerated brain ageing, while supporting every major pathway of brain chemical synthesis and neural health.

Homocysteine and brain health: Elevated homocysteine is one of the most well-established and modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline and brain atrophy. B6, B9 and B12 work together as a synergistic trio to metabolise homocysteine back into beneficial compounds, with each vitamin playing an essential and non-interchangeable role in the pathway.

Why forms matter enormously here: Because this trio works through a biochemical conversion pathway, using inactive forms introduces a conversion bottleneck at every step. Using P5P, 5-MTHF and Methylcobalamin removes those bottlenecks entirely, ensuring the pathway runs efficiently regardless of an individual's genetic profile.

How it fits the formula: Within Mentex Support, the B-vitamin trio provides the methylation and vascular health layer of the formula. It works synergistically with Citicoline and Phosphatidylserine to support the phospholipid synthesis and one-carbon metabolism pathways critical for long-term brain cell health.

Beyond Homocysteine, Additional Brain Health Support
  • Neurotransmitter synthesis: B6 (P5P) is a required cofactor for the synthesis of serotonin, dopamine and GABA, the brain's primary mood, motivation and calming neurotransmitters.
  • Myelin sheath maintenance: Methylcobalamin is essential for the synthesis and repair of myelin, the protective fatty sheath surrounding nerve fibres that maintains signal transmission speed and accuracy.
  • SAMe production: 5-MTHF and Methylcobalamin both feed the methylation cycle that produces S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), a mood-supporting compound involved in over 200 biochemical reactions in the brain.
  • Brain energy metabolism: All three B vitamins act as coenzymes in mitochondrial energy production, supporting the ATP synthesis that powers neural activity and sustains mental performance throughout the day.
  • MTHFR compatibility: Up to 40% of people carry MTHFR gene variants that impair folic acid and cyanocobalamin conversion. Using 5-MTHF and Methylcobalamin means Mentex Support works effectively for everyone, not just those without genetic variants.

Active methylated B-vitamin forms bypass conversion requirements for full bioavailability regardless of individual genetic profile.

Clinical Research

In the Oxford VITACOG trial, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 168 older adults with mild cognitive impairment, two years of B6, B9 and B12 together lowered homocysteine and slowed the rate of brain shrinkage to 0.76% per year versus 1.08% on placebo (p=0.001), a roughly 30% reduction. The effect was strongest in those who started with the highest homocysteine. Read the full paper here:

Neuro-
protection

Citicoline has been shown to boost brain cell membrane formation by 26% and brain energy by 13.6%, without stimulants.

What it does: Citicoline (CDP-Choline) breaks down in the body into choline and cytidine. Choline is used to synthesise phosphatidylcholine, the major structural phospholipid in brain cell membranes, while also supporting acetylcholine production, a neurotransmitter critical for memory and learning.

Why 400 mg: Mentex Support uses 400 mg of Citicoline per daily serving, double the amount used by many competing products. This dose aligns with the levels used in the clinical research showing meaningful improvements in working memory, reaction time, and cognitive processing speed.

How it fits the formula: Citicoline works synergistically with Phosphatidylserine and the methylated B vitamins in Mentex Support to support the phospholipid synthesis and methylation pathways that underpin long-term brain cell health and efficient neurotransmitter signalling.

Resilience
≥50% Bacosides, More Than Twice the Standard Most Bacopa Monnieri supplements use a 24% bacoside standardisation. Mentex Support uses a 10:1 extract standardised to a minimum 50% bacosides, meaning more of the active compounds that actually drive the cognitive benefits, in every single dose.

Bacopa Monnieri has been shown in multiple human trials to enhance delayed recall memory, immediate recall memory and learning speed.

What it does: Bacopa Monnieri's active bacosides act as antioxidants that protect brain cells from oxidative damage. They also support the signalling of key neurotransmitters including acetylcholine, GABA and serotonin, the brain chemicals tied to focus, memory consolidation and mood stability.

How bacosides work: Bacosides support the repair and regeneration of synaptic activity by enhancing kinase activity, neuronal synthesis and the restoration of synaptic plasticity. The higher the bacoside concentration, the more meaningful the activity. That is why standardisation matters.

How it fits the formula: Within Mentex Support, Bacopa Monnieri works alongside Lion's Mane Mushroom and Phosphatidylserine to form the memory and neural regeneration layer of the formula. Its benefits are cumulative and build with consistent daily use over 60 to 90 days.

Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom is one of the most researched natural compounds for supporting structural brain health and long-term cognitive resilience.

What it does: Lion's Mane Mushroom contains beta-glucans and erinacine precursor compounds investigated for their role in supporting Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) signalling, healthy neuron maintenance, and myelin sheath integrity.

Why we use this extract: Mentex Support uses an organic fruiting-body extract at a 15:1 concentration with a minimum 30% beta-glucan standardisation. Fruiting-body extracts are preferred over mycelium-on-grain products because they contain significantly higher concentrations of the active compounds studied in research.

How it fits the formula: Within Mentex Support, Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom works synergistically with Citicoline, Bacopa Monnieri, and Phosphatidylserine to support the neural regeneration and memory pathways. Its benefits build with consistent use over 60 to 90 days.

Sourced from Sunflower Lecithin, Not Soya Mentex Support uses Phosphatidylserine derived from sunflower lecithin, making it completely free from soya allergens and GMO concerns. Most PS supplements on the market use soya-derived PS. Ours does not.

Phospholipids like PS naturally decline in the brain with age, and so do many measures of cognitive performance.

What it does: Phosphatidylserine is a structural phospholipid concentrated in brain cell membranes. It helps maintain membrane fluidity, optimises receptor function, and supports the production of key neurotransmitters including acetylcholine and dopamine. It also enhances glucose metabolism within brain cells, supporting efficient energy use.

FDA-qualified health claim: PS is the only nootropic ingredient to carry an FDA-qualified health claim for reducing the risk of cognitive decline. Research has linked PS supplementation to improvements in memory, attention, mental flexibility and stress resilience.

How it fits the formula: Within Mentex Support, Phosphatidylserine works alongside Citicoline to support the phospholipid synthesis pathways essential for healthy brain cell membranes. Together they provide dual-pathway support for neural structure that neither ingredient achieves as effectively alone.

N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine · Stable, Water-Soluble Form · 250 mg

N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine (NALT)

250 mg per daily serving

N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is a stable, highly water-soluble form of the amino acid tyrosine, the building block your body uses to make dopamine and norepinephrine, the catecholamine neurotransmitters that support focus and drive under cognitive demand and stress.

A Stable, Water-Soluble Form of Tyrosine Mentex Support uses N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine (NALT), a stable and highly water-soluble form of the amino acid tyrosine. Tyrosine is the direct precursor your body uses to make dopamine and norepinephrine, the catecholamine neurotransmitters that support focus, motivation and mental performance, especially under stress and heavy cognitive load.

N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine enhances working memory and mental performance under cognitive load, with improvements increasing as tasks become more demanding.

What it does: Tyrosine is the direct precursor to the catecholamine neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. Under conditions of mental stress, fatigue or high cognitive demand, these neurotransmitters become depleted. Supplemental tyrosine replenishes the precursor pool, helping the brain maintain neurotransmitter levels and sustain performance when it matters most.

When it works best: Research consistently shows tyrosine is most effective under conditions of acute stress, sleep deprivation, multitasking and prolonged cognitive effort. It is not a stimulant, it works by supporting the brain's own neurochemistry rather than overriding it.

How it fits the formula: Within Mentex Support, NALT provides the catecholamine support layer of the formula. It works synergistically with L-Theanine, which moderates stress response, and Rhodiola Rosea, which also supports performance under mental and physical fatigue.

Modulation
Neuro-
protection
Alpha Brainwave Enhancement, Measured by EEG Multiple human trials using EEG have recorded a direct, dose-dependent increase in alpha brainwave activity following L-Theanine supplementation. Alpha waves are associated with a state of relaxed alertness, calm without drowsiness, focused without tension. This is one of the most objectively measurable cognitive effects of any supplement ingredient.

L-Theanine has been shown across multiple human EEG trials to enhance alpha brainwave activity, producing calm, focused attention without sedation.

What it does: L-Theanine modulates neurotransmitter activity by increasing GABA, serotonin and dopamine while reducing excitatory glutamate. This produces a calming effect on neural activity without suppressing alertness. Simultaneously it promotes alpha brainwave dominance, the mental state associated with creative thinking, effortless attention and stress resilience.

No sedation, no stimulation: Unlike anti-anxiety compounds or stimulants, L-Theanine does not sedate or overstimulate. It shifts the brain into a more efficient operating state, the same state experienced during meditation or deep focus, making it particularly well suited to sustained cognitive work.

How it fits the formula: Within Mentex Support, L-Theanine provides the calm focus layer of the formula. It works synergistically with N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine and Rhodiola Rosea to support sustained mental performance under pressure, and helps moderate any overstimulation from other active ingredients in the stack.

20:1 Concentration · 3,700 mg Whole Root Equivalent Mentex Support uses a 20:1 Rhodiola Rosea root extract, meaning each 185 mg dose delivers the active compound equivalent of 3,700 mg of whole Rhodiola root. Standardisation to both rosavins and salidrosides ensures consistency across every batch, so you get the same potency every time.

Rhodiola Rosea is one of the most well-researched adaptogens for mental energy, stress resilience and sustained cognitive performance under pressure.

What it does: Rhodiola Rosea works primarily by blunting the release of cortisol, the stress hormone that impairs working memory, attention and decision-making under pressure. It also supports dopamine and serotonin transport across the blood-brain barrier, sustaining the neurotransmitter levels needed for clear, motivated thinking. Research suggests effects begin within 30 minutes and can last up to six hours.

Adaptogenic action: As a classified adaptogen, Rhodiola Rosea does not force a fixed pharmacological response. Instead it helps the body and brain calibrate their stress response, reducing over-reactivity under pressure while supporting energy and alertness when needed. It is non-stimulating and non-sedating.

How it fits the formula: Within Mentex Support, Rhodiola Rosea provides the stress resilience and mental endurance layer of the formula. It works synergistically with L-Theanine for calm focus and N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine for catecholamine support, forming a trio that collectively maintains cognitive performance under real-world pressure and fatigue.

95% Proanthocyanidins, The Highest Standardisation Available Most Maritime Pine Bark extracts on the market are standardised to 65–80% proanthocyanidins. Mentex Support uses a 95% standardised extract, ensuring a higher concentration of the active compounds that cross the blood-brain barrier in every dose.

Maritime pine trees developed a powerful antioxidant complex in their bark to survive harsh coastal environments. That same complex is now one of the most researched plant extracts for brain circulation and cognitive protection.

What it does: Maritime Pine Bark Extract delivers a concentrated complex of proanthocyanidin antioxidants that are small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier, a rare and important property. Once inside, they neutralise free radicals, reduce neuroinflammation, and signal for the release of nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessel walls and increases cerebral blood flow.

Why blood flow matters for cognition: Increased cerebral circulation means better delivery of oxygen and glucose to active brain regions. This directly supports mental energy, processing speed, attention and focus, particularly under conditions of mental fatigue or stress.

How it fits the formula: Within Mentex Support, Maritime Pine Bark Extract provides the circulation and antioxidant layer of the formula. It works alongside Citicoline and the methylated B vitamins to support the vascular and metabolic foundations of sustained cognitive performance.

🧠
Blood-Brain Barrier Active Most antioxidants cannot cross the blood-brain barrier and therefore have limited direct effect on brain tissue. Proanthocyanidins from Maritime Pine Bark are among the few plant-derived antioxidants with confirmed blood-brain barrier permeability, making them uniquely relevant for cognitive and neuroprotective applications.

How Proanthocyanidins Support Brain Performance
Nitric Oxide Release

Proanthocyanidins stimulate endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), relaxing blood vessel walls and increasing cerebral blood flow to deliver more oxygen and glucose to active brain regions.

Free Radical Neutralisation

The antioxidant activity of proanthocyanidins helps protect neurons from oxidative damage, a key driver of cognitive decline and brain ageing.

Neuroinflammation Support

Chronic low-grade neuroinflammation impairs memory and processing speed. Proanthocyanidins have been studied for their role in modulating inflammatory pathways within the central nervous system.

Regenerative Signalling

Research suggests proanthocyanidins support BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) signalling, which plays a key role in neuroplasticity and long-term cognitive resilience.

Clinical Research

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 101 healthy older adults, three months of standardised maritime pine bark extract (150 mg/day) significantly improved working memory and reduced F2-isoprostanes, a blood marker of oxidative stress, compared with placebo, tying its antioxidant proanthocyanidins to a measurable cognitive benefit.

50 mcg (2,000 IU) per daily serving

The sunshine vitamin in its most effective D3 form, dosed well above the basic reference level to reliably maintain healthy status all year.

Immune
Bones
Muscle
Cell division

In northern climates, most people run low on vitamin D for much of the year.

What it does: Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form your skin makes from sunlight and the form the body uses most readily. It supports immune defence, bone and muscle function, and healthy cell division.

Why 2,000 IU: We use D3, not the weaker D2, at a meaningful 2,000 IU, enough to comfortably maintain healthy levels through winter rather than just the minimum to avoid deficiency.

How it fits the formula: Paired with vitamin K2 in Quantum, which helps direct calcium to the bones, for a complete, balanced approach.

Vitamin K2

200 mcg per daily serving

Vitamin K including the long-acting K2 (MK-7) form, which helps direct calcium to the bones.

Bones
Blood clotting
Calcium routing
Cardiovascular-aware

Vitamin K2 helps put calcium where it belongs, in your bones.

What it does: Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to normal blood clotting. The K2 (menaquinone) form activates proteins that help direct calcium into bone tissue.

Why K2 (MK-7): We include the long-acting MK-7 form of K2, not just K1, because it stays active in the body far longer and is the form studied for bone health.

How it fits the formula: Pairs with vitamin D3 in Quantum, a complementary duo for bone and calcium metabolism.
