10+ years of research
Supporting cognitive performance through clinically-backed ingredients.
Magic Mind combines 10+ years of research and development with clinically-backed ingredients and advanced absorption technology to unlock full mental performance. Each formula is third-party tested and LabProof certified, so you can feel confident your daily formula meets the highest scientific standards.
Clinically-backed ingredients
We use ingredients studied for their clinical effectiveness and bioavailability. The science is backed, but the goal is simple: reliable mental performance that helps you stay productive throughout the day.
Third-party tested and Certified Safe from Plastic Chemicals™ by LabProof.
Active ingredients are fragile. Heat, stomach acid, and digestive enzymes break down most of what you consume before it ever reaches your bloodstream. This means many supplements deliver only a fraction of what’s on the label.
Each active ingredient is encapsulated in a microscopic level. This delivery system is designed to protect ingredients through digestion and route them directly into your bloodstream, delivering active ingredients more effectively.
In a study conducted by Magic Mind, daily use over a 60 day period was associated with statistically significant reductions in stress and anxiety, and improved focus, energy, and productivity.
Scientific
Advisory Board
Our advisory team of scientists, researchers, and health experts guides every ingredient and formula to ensure Magic Mind is effective, safe, and backed by science.
Magic Mind is independently tested for over 56 contaminants including PFAS, phthalates, plastic chemicals, heavy metals, and mycotoxins by third-party labs, against the strictest safety standards in the world.
Evaluate how daily use of Magic Mind impacts stress, anxiety, focus, energy, and work productivity over a 60-day period.
82 participants completed validated surveys at baseline, Day 30, and Day 60 while using Magic Mind daily. Results were analyzed statistically.
Participants reported reduced stress and anxiety, with improvements in energy, attention, and work productivity over the 60-day period.
Daily use of Magic Mind was associated with statistically significant reductions in stress and anxiety, and improved focus, energy, and productivity.
Cognitive Performance
1. Lion's Mane + Working Memory (RCT, 2023) La Monica et al. | Nutrients | DOI: 10.3390/nu15245018
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial found that a single dose of Nordic-grown Lion's Mane supported improvements in working memory, complex attention, and reaction time versus placebo.
2. Bacopa Monnieri + Memory Recall (RCT, 2008) Calabrese et al. | Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine | DOI: 10.1089/acm.2008.0018
A 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in healthy older adults showed that Bacopa meaningfully improved delayed word recall and performance on a cognitive interference task.
3. Citicoline + Sustained Attention (RCT, 2014) Bruce et al. | International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition | DOI: 10.3109/09637486.2014.940286
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 60 healthy adults: a citicoline-containing beverage significantly improved sustained attention, reaction time, and working memory versus placebo. EEG data confirmed measurable changes in brain activation.
Brain Health + Antioxidants
4. Curcumin + Memory & Attention (RCT, 2018) Small et al. (UCLA) | American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry | DOI: 10.1016/j.jagp.2017.10.010
An 18-month double-blind, placebo-controlled RCT showed that a bioavailable form of curcumin supported improvements in verbal memory, visual memory, and attention in non-demented adults. PET imaging also showed changes in brain regions associated with mood and memory.
