It has a wide range of purported benefits that range from increased focus and memory, to an increased energy and motivation. So at first glance it looks incredibly well dosed. N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine is available as a supplement in its own right and here we get a healthy dose of 350mg which is the same as what you might expect in a standalone supplement. It is an adaptogen and we see it here in good quantity – with a 300mg dose being more than sufficient to combat stress. Many nootropics include Rhodiola Rosea thanks to its naturally soothing qualities and it is well known as an ingredient that has significant anti-anxiety benefits. When we consider the likely poor absorption rate and the lack of evidence to support its inclusion to tackle anxiety then it doesn’t look like the most potent of ingredients. It is likely that some will become absorbed but not in any way high enough a dosage to make any significant impact. Though there is less evidence to support the use of 5-HTP to reduce levels of anxiety specifically, there is a growing bank of evidence to support its use to combat depression.Īn additional concern when it comes to ingesting 5-HTP is that it is unlikely to be absorbed in to the body before being broken down and essentially destroyed in the stomach. This means it is often used to treat disorders that increased serotonin levels are thought to alleviate – these include depression and anxiety. HTPurity 5-HTPĥ-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) comes from L-tryptophan and is harnessed from the seeds of Griffonia Simplicifolia and it increases the production of serotonin in the brain. NueroFactor is thought to have a positive influence on mood and memory and so we think this is a very solid inclusion in Genius Joy’s mix. It is thought that polyphenols increase brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which in turn helps to promote neuron growth and protection. It is a popular ingredient that is now found in a range of nootropics thanks to it being rich in polyphenols. NeuroFactorĮach 4 capsule serving gives you 100mg of NeuroFactor, which is essentially coffee fruit extract. So long as you aren’t taking any existing anti-depressants then SAMe (in this case Adomix) is going to be safe to consume, but the verdict on its efficacy is still up for debate. In this review, we will discuss the impact of Genius Joy, discuss the ingredient profile and also give you our assessment as to the efficacy in terms of relieving anxiety and improving mood. We started off on the recommended dose of 2 capsules per day and then upped this to 4 capsules per day as per the instructions.Īs Genius Joy (and most nootropics) have an acute effect we were expecting to see and feel the impact of the supplement fairly quickly. It does have some excellent ingredients which we will discuss shortly although some are found across many of their supplements and so if you wanted to enjoy other cognitive benefits such as an increase in focus, memory or concentration then you’d likely have to double or triple up on Genius’ other nootropic supplements.įor the purposes of this Genius Joy review, we tested the product for 4 weeks. It has an all natural ingredient profile that is vegetarian (although not vegan) friendly. ![]() In other words, it’s supposed to help increase serotonin production in the body which in turn will improve nerve cell transmission in the brain which can help improve mood and relieve anxiety. ![]() Although falling under The Genius Brand’s nootropic section (of which they have no less than 11 different supplements) it is actually more of a serotonin mood booster.
