Scientific Evidence & Clinical References
This page summarises peer‑reviewed scientific research relevant to the ingredients used in FOCUS. All studies referenced are published in recognised scientific journals and indexed on PubMed. Statements are presented for educational purposes and relate to supporting normal physiological functions.
Lion’s Mane Mushroom: A pilot study involving healthy young adults found that supplementation with Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) may improve cognitive performance and reduce subjective stress.
Lion’s Mane Mushroom Powder: Research from The University of Queensland discovered that compounds in Lion's Mane mushrooms promote nerve growth and enhance memory. The study found that these compounds significantly impact neural growth processes, suggesting potential benefits for neurogenesis and cognitive function.
Maca Root Powder: Research indicates that Maca (Lepidium meyenii) may have neuroprotective effects, potentially improving cognitive function by enhancing mitochondrial activity and modulating autophagy signaling in the brain.
Matcha Green Tea Powder: on cognitive functions in community-dwelling elderly individuals. This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled 12-week trial found that daily supplementation with Matcha, which is rich in active compounds like catechins, caffeine, and theanine, may have beneficial effects on cognitive function, promoting sustained focus and calm alertness.
Guarana: (Paullinia cupana) is renowned for its cognitive-enhancing properties, primarily due to its high caffeine content. Research indicates that Guarana supplementation can improve alertness, reduce mental fatigue, and enhance cognitive performance. Additionally, Guarana's antioxidant properties may support overall brain health by protecting against oxidative stress, which is linked to cognitive decline and mood disorders.

Creatine Monohydrate: A systematic review of randomised controlled trials published in Frontiers in Nutrition assessed the effects of creatine supplementation on cognitive function in adults. The review found that creatine, specifically creatine monohydrate, may have a positive impact on cognitive performance, including improvements in memory and intelligence/reasoning.
