THE SCIENCE BEHIND ELEMENTS
Every ingredient we use has hundreds of published, peer-reviewed studies behind it. No proprietary blends or magic formulas. Only ingredients proven to work. Everything is right here for you to check.
THE BENEFITS OF OUR INGREDIENTS ARE RESEARCHED BY
HERE'S WHAT'S INSIDE
Four products, fourteen active ingredients. Every single one listed below with its exact form, exact dose, and what it does in plain language.
Mushroom Extract • 800 mg
Known for supporting long-term mental sharpness by maintaining healthy brain connections. The effects build gradually over weeks.
How it works
Lion's Mane stimulates the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein your brain uses to maintain existing neural connections and build new ones. Stronger connections mean clearer thinking and better recall. This isn't a short-term boost. It's a gradual strengthening of the infrastructure your brain runs on.
Where it comes from
Lion's Mane is an edible mushroom that grows on hardwood trees across North America, Europe, and Asia. It's been used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for centuries. We use a concentrated extract rather than whole mushroom powder, which delivers a higher concentration of the active compounds.
The dose we use
We use 800 mg per serving. Most studies on Lion's Mane use between 500 mg and 3,000 mg daily, depending on the extract concentration. Our dose sits within the effective range used in cognitive function research.
Mushroom Extract • 200 mg
Keeps the brain energised throughout the day so mental fatigue takes longer to set in.
How it works
Cordyceps supports the production of ATP, the molecule your cells use as fuel. Your brain consumes roughly 20% of your body's energy despite being about 2% of your body weight. When ATP production is more efficient, your brain has access to more fuel for longer. That translates to less mental fatigue during long working days.
Where it comes from
Cordyceps is a fungus originally found in the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas. It's been used in traditional Tibetan and Chinese medicine for centuries for energy and stamina. Modern cordyceps is cultivated in controlled environments to ensure consistency and purity. We use a concentrated extract.
The dose we use
We use 200 mg per serving. Studies on cordyceps and cognitive performance typically use between 200 mg and 1,000 mg daily, depending on the extract type and concentration. Our dose is at the lower end of the studied range as a complementary ingredient alongside Lion's Mane.
Amino Acid • 50 mg
Keeps brain signals clean and efficient during long stretches of focused work.
How it works
Taurine is an amino acid that plays a role in how neurons communicate with each other. When your brain is under sustained demand, the quality of those signals can degrade. Taurine helps keep the communication between neurons running cleanly and efficiently, especially during long periods of concentrated mental work.
Why it's in this formula
Taurine acts as a supporting ingredient in Boost Your Mind. While Lion's Mane builds long-term brain connections and Cordyceps fuels energy production, Taurine keeps the signal quality high in the moment. It's the ingredient that helps the other two do their jobs more effectively.
What happens when you're running low
Taurine is normally produced by the body and found in meat and fish. During periods of high mental demand, the body's supply can be stretched. Low taurine is associated with reduced cognitive performance and increased mental fatigue. Supplementing ensures your brain has enough available when it matters.
Extract • 50 mg
A small amount of natural caffeine balanced by L-Theanine. Alert and focused without the jitters.
How it works
Green Tea Extract contains two active compounds that work together. Caffeine provides mild alertness. L-Theanine smooths out the caffeine so you get focus without the spike-and-crash pattern of coffee. At 50 mg of extract, the caffeine content is a fraction of a cup of coffee. The combination is well-studied for calm, sustained attention.
Why it's in this formula
Green Tea Extract adds a gentle, immediate layer of alertness to Boost Your Mind. While Lion's Mane and Cordyceps build up over weeks, Green Tea Extract provides a subtle effect from day one. It bridges the gap between starting the supplement and feeling the full compound effect.
What happens when you're running low
This isn't about deficiency. Green Tea Extract is included for its active compounds, not to replace something your body is missing. It's a performance ingredient, not a foundation one.
Pantothenic Acid • 3 mg
Helps turn food into fuel the brain can actually use. A basic building block of energy metabolism.
How it works
Vitamin B5 is essential for producing coenzyme A, which is involved in turning the food you eat into usable energy. It also plays a role in adrenal function. Your adrenal glands produce cortisol and other stress hormones. When they're working overtime, they need more B5 to function properly.
Why it's in this formula
B5 appears in three of our four products because its role is universal. It supports the energy metabolism that powers focus (Boost Your Mind), the adrenal function that manages stress (Calm Your Mind), and the hormonal cycles that regulate sleep (Restore Yourself). It's a foundation ingredient that shows up wherever the body is under sustained demand.
What happens when you're running low
B5 deficiency is rare in isolation, but suboptimal levels are common in people under chronic stress. Symptoms include fatigue, irritability, and disrupted sleep. The body can't store large amounts of B5, so it needs a consistent daily supply.
Pyridoxine • 0.7 mg
Supports serotonin, dopamine, and melatonin production and helps regulate mood, focus, and sleep.
How it works
Vitamin B6 is directly involved in producing several of your brain's most important chemicals. Serotonin regulates mood. Dopamine drives motivation and reward. Melatonin regulates your sleep-wake cycle. Without adequate B6, your brain can't produce these in the right amounts. The effects show up as mood changes, difficulty focusing, and disrupted sleep.
Why it's in this formula
B6 appears in three of our four products because it touches mood, focus, and sleep simultaneously. It's the single most versatile B vitamin for brain function. In Boost Your Mind it supports the chemistry behind focus and motivation. In Calm Your Mind it supports mood regulation under stress. In Restore Yourself it supports the natural production of melatonin.
What happens when you're running low
Low B6 is one of the most common vitamin deficiencies in adults. It can show up as brain fog, irritability, low mood, and poor sleep. Stress, alcohol, and certain medications deplete B6 faster than usual. Supplementing ensures your brain has the raw material it needs.
Methylcobalamin • 1.25 µg
Keeps the nervous system running properly. One of the first nutrients to dip when you're under pressure for a long time.
How it works
Vitamin B12 is involved in maintaining the myelin sheath, the protective coating around your nerves. Healthy myelin means faster, cleaner nerve signalling throughout the body and brain. B12 is also involved in energy production at the cellular level. We use methylcobalamin, the form your body can use directly without needing to convert it first.
Why it's in this formula
B12 appears in Boost Your Mind and Calm Your Mind because it supports the nervous system function that both focus and stress management depend on. It's one of the most foundational nutrients for brain health and one of the most commonly depleted in busy adults.
What happens when you're running low
Low B12 shows up as fatigue, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, and mood changes. It's one of the most common nutrient deficiencies worldwide, particularly in people who are under chronic stress, eating inconsistently, or consuming little to no meat. Because the body can't produce B12 on its own, it has to come from food or supplementation.
Monohydrate • 5 g
Refuels the brain and muscles when demand is high. The most studied supplement ingredient in history, with over 500 published studies.
How it works
Your cells run on ATP. When demand is high, whether from intense thinking or physical exertion, you burn through ATP faster than your body can regenerate it. Creatine helps your body regenerate ATP more quickly, which means more fuel available when you need it most. Your brain uses roughly 20% of your body's energy, so the effect is as much mental as it is physical.
Where it comes from
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in red meat and fish. Your body also produces a small amount on its own. Creatine monohydrate, the form we use, is synthesised and is the most studied form available. It's been used in sports nutrition for over 30 years and in cognitive research for over 15.
The dose we use
We use 5 g per serving. This matches the dose used in virtually every major creatine study. We didn't cut it to fit a smaller serving size. Four gummies is what it takes to deliver the full dose, so four gummies is what we made. Recent research also shows creatine supports brain function during periods of poor sleep, which is why we include 40 servings instead of 30. On your toughest days, you can double up.
KSM-66 Root Extract • 100 mg
The most studied form of ashwagandha. Regulates cortisol and supports the body's ability to manage stress over time.
How it works
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, which means it helps the body adapt to stress rather than just masking it. KSM-66 specifically has been shown to regulate cortisol, the hormone your body produces under stress. Over time, consistent use helps your stress response become more measured. The pressure doesn't disappear. Your body just handles it more efficiently.
Where it comes from
Ashwagandha is a root that's been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years. KSM-66 is a branded extract produced through a unique process that uses only the root of the plant, not the leaves, which gives it a higher concentration of the active compounds called withanolides. It's the most clinically studied ashwagandha extract available.
The dose we use
We use 100 mg per serving. Most studies on KSM-66 use between 300 mg and 600 mg daily. Our dose is lower because Calm Your Mind is a multi-ingredient formula designed for long-term daily use. The ashwagandha works alongside Passionflower, Lemon Balm, and B vitamins, each contributing to the overall calming effect. A higher dose in a multi-ingredient formula would require drug-level regulatory classification.
Extract • 100 mg
Calms nervous tension without causing drowsiness. Used for centuries as a natural calming ingredient.
How it works
Passionflower increases the activity of GABA in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter that reduces the activity of nerve cells, which has a calming effect. Think of it as turning down the volume on your nervous system. You don't get sedated. You just stop running at full intensity when you don't need to be.
Where it comes from
Passionflower is a climbing vine native to the Americas. It was used by indigenous peoples long before European colonisation and was adopted into European herbal medicine in the 17th century. The flowers and leaves are used to produce the extract. It's one of the most established calming herbs in Western herbal tradition.
The dose we use
We use 100 mg per serving. Studies on passionflower for stress and calm typically use between 90 mg and 400 mg daily. Our dose is within the lower range of what's been studied, positioned as a complementary ingredient alongside ashwagandha and Lemon Balm in the Calm Your Mind formula.
Leaf Extract • 100 mg
Eases nervous tension and promotes relaxation. A gentle calming herb from the mint family.
How it works
Lemon Balm works by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down GABA in the brain, which means more GABA stays active for longer. The result is a gentle calming effect that reduces nervous tension without sedation. It also has mild effects on mood, which is why it's been used for both stress and sleep for centuries.
Where it comes from
Lemon Balm is a perennial herb from the mint family, native to Southern Europe and the Mediterranean. It's been used in European herbal medicine for over 2,000 years. The name comes from the Greek word for bee, because the plant attracts them. We use a leaf extract for a higher concentration of the active compounds.
The dose we use
We use 100 mg per serving. It appears in both Calm Your Mind and Restore Yourself because it bridges stress and sleep. Studies on Lemon Balm typically use between 80 mg and 600 mg daily. If you're taking both products as part of the Unwind Bundle, you're getting 200 mg per day, which is well within studied and safe ranges.
Niacinamide • 9 mg
Keeps the nervous system steady when pressure is constant. Also involved in energy metabolism.
How it works
Vitamin B3 in the niacinamide form plays a role in how your nervous system handles sustained demand. It's involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body, including those that regulate energy production and nervous system function. Under chronic stress, your body's demand for B3 increases.
Why it's in this formula
B3 is a foundation ingredient in Calm Your Mind. It doesn't directly calm you down. It keeps the nervous system infrastructure working properly so the hero ingredients, ashwagandha, passionflower, and Lemon Balm, can do their jobs effectively. Think of it as maintenance for the system that manages your stress response.
What happens when you're running low
Low B3 can show up as fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Under sustained stress, the body burns through B3 faster than usual. Most people get enough from food under normal conditions, but "normal conditions" doesn't describe most business owners' lives.
Pantothenic Acid • 3 mg
Helps turn food into fuel the brain can actually use. A basic building block of energy metabolism.
How it works
Vitamin B5 is essential for producing coenzyme A, which is involved in turning the food you eat into usable energy. It also plays a role in adrenal function. Your adrenal glands produce cortisol and other stress hormones. When they're working overtime, they need more B5 to function properly.

It's one of the most common nutrient deficiencies worldwide, particularly in people who are under chronic stress, eating inconsistently, or consuming little to no meat. Because the body can't produce B12 on its own, it has to come from food or supplementation.
Mushroom Extract • 50 mg
Known for supporting rest and recovery. Sleep quality improves gradually with consistent use over time.
How it works
Reishi contains compounds called triterpenes that have a calming effect on the nervous system. Unlike sedatives that force sleep, reishi works gradually by supporting your body's natural ability to wind down. Over weeks of consistent use, the body's transition from alert to restful states becomes smoother and more reliable. It's not a sleep switch. It's a slow build toward better nights.
Where it comes from
Reishi is a woody mushroom that grows on dead or dying trees in humid regions across Asia, Europe, and North America. It's been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years and is often called the "mushroom of immortality" or the "mushroom of rest." Wild reishi is rare. Modern reishi is cultivated to ensure consistency and potency. We use a concentrated extract.
The dose we use
We use 50 mg per serving. Studies on reishi and sleep typically use a wide range of doses from 50 mg to over 1,000 mg, depending on the extract concentration. Our dose is positioned as part of a multi-ingredient sleep formula alongside chamomile, L-Theanine, and Lemon Balm.
Extract • 100 mg
One of the oldest calming herbs. Eases the body from an alert state into a restful one, making it easier to fall asleep.
How it works
Chamomile contains a compound called apigenin, which binds to specific receptors in the brain that promote relaxation and reduce wakefulness. It doesn't knock you out. It helps your nervous system shift gears from the active state you've been running in all day to the restful state your body needs for sleep. The effect is gentle and gradual.
Where it comes from
Chamomile has been used for thousands of years across Egyptian, Greek, and Roman civilisations. The flowers are dried and used to produce the extract. It's one of the most widely consumed herbal ingredients in the world, most commonly known as a tea. We use a concentrated extract to deliver a consistent dose in gummy form.
The dose we use
We use 100 mg per serving. Studies on chamomile and sleep typically use between 200 mg and 600 mg daily. Our dose is positioned as part of a multi-ingredient sleep formula. Chamomile works alongside reishi, L-Theanine, and Lemon Balm, with each ingredient contributing to the overall effect.
via Green Tea Extract • 100 mg
Quiets mental activity without causing drowsiness. Found naturally in tea and well-studied for promoting relaxation.
How it works
L-Theanine increases alpha brain wave activity, which is the pattern your brain produces during calm, wakeful relaxation. Think of it as the state you're in when you're relaxed but not asleep. By promoting this state, L-Theanine helps quiet the mental chatter that keeps you staring at the ceiling. It doesn't sedate you. It helps your brain stop running the day on repeat.
Where it comes from
L-Theanine is an amino acid found naturally in tea leaves, particularly green tea. It's one of the reasons tea has a calming reputation despite containing caffeine. We deliver L-Theanine through Green Tea Extract (102 mg of extract yielding 100 mg of L-Theanine). The extract contains a tiny amount of natural caffeine, but at this dose it's negligible and won't affect your sleep.
The dose we use
We use 100 mg per serving. Most studies on L-Theanine and relaxation use between 100 mg and 400 mg daily. Our dose matches the lower end of the studied range. For sleep, L-Theanine works best as part of a broader formula rather than as a standalone ingredient, which is why it's paired with reishi, chamomile, and Lemon Balm.
Leaf Extract • 100 mg
Eases nervous tension and promotes relaxation. A gentle calming herb from the mint family.
How it works
Lemon Balm works by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down GABA in the brain, which means more GABA stays active for longer. The result is a gentle calming effect that reduces nervous tension without sedation. It also has mild effects on mood, which is why it's been used for both stress and sleep for centuries.
Where it comes from

PubMedID: 35700594B vitamins are involved in everything from energy production to neurotransmitter synthesis to nervous system protection. Deficiency is far more common than most people realise, and the consequences show up as fatigue, brain fog, increased inflammation, and mood changes. We include B3, B5, B6, and B12 across our formulas because a complete system doesn’t leave gaps. Here are some the studies that informed our approach.
Some recent studies:

PubMedID: 24965307WHY THESE INGREDIENTS
None of these ingredients were picked randomly. They all tackle the same cycle of problems that every business owner knows too well.
We’re builders,
so we’re stressed.
We’re stressed,
so WE can’t sleep.
We can’t sleep,
so WE’re drained.
We’re drained,
so WE can’t focus.
WE CAN’t FOcus, we can’t build, so we’re even more stressed.
WE’RE stuck in the grind cycle.
THE COMPLETE SYSTEM
Every ingredient we use goes into one of four products, each built for a specific stage of the grind cycle. We combined all four into one simple and delicious daily system designed to serve a business owner's demanding life.
If you are still not tired from reading, here are answers to the most common questions people ask after the deep dive into the science
Ashwagandha has been used for centuries and is one of the most studied adaptogens available. There are hundreds of published studies on ashwagandha, including multiple clinical trials looking at daily use over 8 to 12 weeks. The research consistently shows it’s well tolerated at the doses studied.
At the dose we use, it’s suitable for daily long-term use.
As with any supplement, if you’re pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, check with your doctor first.
Most people know creatine as a gym supplement. But your brain uses more energy per pound than any other organ. Creatine helps replenish that energy at the cellular level.
Creatine monohydrate has over 500 published studies behind it. The cognitive benefits are well documented alongside the physical performance research.
Same creatine monohydrate, same 5g dose. The difference is the format. No mixing, no chalky taste. If you’re already taking creatine and want a simpler way to stay consistent, this is it.
Yes. Creatine monohydrate has a strong safety profile for daily long-term use at 5g per day, which is exactly the dose we use. It’s one of the most studied supplement ingredients available.
As with any supplement, if you’re taking medication, check with your doctor first.
Every ingredient, every form, every dose is listed on each product page. No proprietary blends. Nothing hidden.
Here’s the short version:
Calm Your Mind: Ashwagandha (100mg), Passionflower (100mg), Lemon Balm (100mg), Vitamins B3, B5, B6, B12.
Restore Yourself: Chamomile (100mg), L-Theanine (100mg via Green Tea Extract), Lemon Balm (100mg), Reishi Mushroom (50mg), Vitamins B5, B6.
Boost Your Mind: Lion’s Mane Mushroom (800mg), Cordyceps Mushroom (200mg), Taurine (50mg), Green Tea Extract (50mg), Vitamins B5, B6, B12.
Boost Your Body: Creatine Monohydrate (5g).
For the full breakdown with research citations, visit our Science page.
We want to be clear about this. The research we reference is from independent published studies on the individual ingredients, not clinical trials on ELEMENTS products specifically.
These studies were conducted by universities and research institutions around the world and published in peer-reviewed journals. We didn’t run them and we don’t claim to have. What we did is choose ingredients that have strong published evidence behind them, and use the forms and doses that were actually studied.
You can see all the studies we reference on our Science page. We link directly to the published research so you can read it yourself.
Some of our ingredients match the exact doses used in published studies. Creatine monohydrate at 5g is a good example. That’s the dose used in hundreds of studies and that’s what we use.
For some ingredients, we use a lower dose than the highest amounts studied. This is a deliberate choice. Our products are multi-ingredient formulas designed for daily long-term use in a gummy format. Some study doses are high enough that they would require a different regulatory classification.
We chose doses that are effective for daily use within a formula that works together. We’re transparent about this because we’d rather explain our thinking honestly than pretend every ingredient is at the maximum possible dose.
For the full dose breakdown and the studies behind each ingredient, visit our Science page.
Yes. We chose well-studied ingredients at doses with established safety profiles for daily use. That was a deliberate part of the formulation process.
Every ingredient we use has published research supporting its safety at or above the dose we include. We didn’t push the boundaries on any dose. We went with what the evidence supports for ongoing daily use.
If you’re on medication, talk to your doctor before starting any supplement.
Yes. Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Reishi are the three functional mushrooms in our products. All three have long histories of traditional use and published research supporting their safety.
Lion’s Mane (800mg in Boost Your Mind) and Cordyceps (200mg in Boost Your Mind) have been studied for cognitive support. Reishi (50mg in Restore Yourself) has been studied for relaxation and sleep support. At the doses we use, all three are well tolerated for daily use.
These aren’t psychoactive mushrooms. They’re functional mushrooms with specific research-backed benefits.
Stimulants like caffeine force your body into a higher gear. The effects are fast and obvious, but they wear off and you crash. Your body also builds tolerance, so you need more over time to get the same effect.
Adaptogens work differently. They help your body manage stress and maintain balance over time. The effects are gradual rather than immediate. Your body doesn’t build tolerance the same way. And there’s no crash when they wear off.
Most of our ingredients are adaptogens or compounds that work with your body’s own systems rather than overriding them. That’s why the results build over weeks, not minutes.
We believe business owners should change the way they build. Less burnout, more good days, same ambition. Here's how to be part of it.
