Frequently Asked Questions

Science-backed answers about nootropics, ingredients, and what to expect from your States.

Free shipping on US orders over $99. All packages include tracking. We're working on expanding to additional countries - sign up for our email list for updates.

How long does one bottle of States last?

Each bottle contains 30 servings - a one-month supply if used daily. However, States are designed for on-demand use. If you use FOCUS only on workdays, ZEN only before stressful events, or DREAM only when you need sleep support, a single bottle can last 2-3 months.

Using Mindvalley States

What's the best time of day to take States?

Timing depends on the nootropic's function and half-life. Focus/energy supplements (paraxanthine, Alpha-GPC): Morning or before work sessions - avoid after 2pm. Stress/calm supplements (L-Theanine, Rhodiola): Anytime, but especially effective before stressful situations. Mood supporters (saffron, Zembrin): Afternoon or before social events. Sleep supplements: 30-60 minutes before bed. Adaptogens (Ashwagandha): Morning for energy support, or evening for sleep - they're versatile.

Can you stack multiple States together?

Yes, strategic States stacking is safe and often more effective than single ingredients. Common effective stacks: L-Theanine + caffeine (or paraxanthine) for calm focus, Ashwagandha + Rhodiola for comprehensive stress support, Alpha-GPC + Bacopa for cognitive enhancement. Mindvalley States are designed to complement each other: FOCUS + ZEN creates "the Presentation Stack" for calm, confident performance. BLISS + GAZM is "the Connection Stack" for social and intimate settings. Avoid stimulating stacks close to bedtime.

How long does it take to notice the difference? Do I feel effects immediately?

It varies from person to person, depending on your experience, we’d recommend you approach your State with a sense of expectation. All the information for each individual supplement and supporting mental training stack can be found in The Mindvalley States app. If you look at the pill alone - a typical activation time is 20-30 minutes from pill ingestion, again depending on everyone's individual biochemistry.

Are Mindvalley States vegan and allergen-free?

Yes, all Mindvalley States are 100% vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, and third-party tested. We use plant-based capsules (no gelatin), no artificial colors or flavors, and no common allergens. Every batch is tested by independent labs for purity, potency, and contaminants. Certificates of Analysis are available upon request. We believe premium nootropics should meet the highest quality and ethical standards.

Will they cause dependency long term? Example; Like I would not be able to focus without taking FOCUS.

E.g. The ingredients in FOCUS are not known to be addictive or cause physical dependence. Unlike substances that can lead to addiction, FOCUS does not contain any controlled or habit-forming compounds.The natural nootropic ingredients in FOCUS work by supporting healthy brain function and cognition. They do not artificially stimulate the brain's reward pathways in ways that could lead to addiction or dependency. Users can start or stop taking FOCUS without experiencing withdrawal symptoms.That said, some people may find the cognitive benefits of FOCUS subjectively helpful for their focus and productivity. This could lead to a desire to continue using the product, but this would be based on perceived positive effects rather than a physical dependency.As always, it's recommended to use supplements as part of a holistic approach to cognitive health, including proper nutrition, sleep, and exercise. If you have any concerns, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional about your individual circumstances.

Nootropics & Science

What are the best nootropics for focus without caffeine?

The most effective caffeine-free nootropics for focus are paraxanthine, Alpha-GPC, L-Tyrosine, and Dynamine®. Paraxanthine provides clean energy without jitters. Alpha-GPC increases acetylcholine for sharper cognition (studies show 108% improvement). L-Tyrosine supports dopamine production for sustained motivation. Dynamine® provides rapid-onset alertness. These work synergistically - Mindvalley FOCUS combines all four at clinical dosages for 4-6 hours of sustained concentration without the caffeine crash.

What supplements reduce stress without causing drowsiness?

L-Theanine, Rhodiola Rosea, Lemon Balm, and Ashwagandha reduce stress while maintaining mental clarity. L-Theanine (found in green tea) promotes alpha brain waves for calm focus - it's why tea feels different than coffee. Rhodiola is an adaptogen that lowers cortisol by 27% in clinical studies. Lemon Balm (Cyracos®) reduces anxiety within 20 minutes without sedation. Ashwagandha (Shoden®) provides long-term stress resilience. These are all daytime-safe and won't impair cognitive function.

How long do nootropics take to work?

Most nootropics take 20-45 minutes to feel effects, though some build up over weeks. Fast-acting compounds: Paraxanthine and L-Theanine work within 20-30 minutes. Medium-acting: Adaptogens like Ashwagandha and mood supporters like saffron take 30-45 minutes. Cumulative compounds: Bacopa monnieri (Synapsa®) takes 2-4 weeks of daily use to show full cognitive benefits, as it works by promoting neuroplasticity. For immediate needs, choose fast-acting formulas; for long-term optimization, consistent daily use works best.

Are nootropics safe for daily use?

Yes, well-researched nootropics at clinical dosages are safe for daily use. Compounds like L-Theanine, Bacopa, Rhodiola, and Alpha-GPC have been studied extensively with excellent safety profiles. Key factors: use patented, tested ingredients (not generic powders), stick to recommended dosages, and choose products that are third-party tested. Some nootropics work best on-demand (like paraxanthine for focus sessions), while others benefit from daily use (like Bacopa for memory). Consult a healthcare provider if you're on medications.

What is paraxanthine and is it better than caffeine?

Paraxanthine is caffeine's primary active metabolite - the compound your liver converts caffeine into. It provides the same energy and focus benefits as caffeine but without the jitters, anxiety, or sleep disruption. Clinical studies show paraxanthine (branded as enfinity®) improves cognitive performance by 23% and reduces mental errors by 32% compared to placebo. Unlike caffeine, paraxanthine doesn't build tolerance, cause withdrawal symptoms, or spike cortisol levels. It's effectively "caffeine 2.0" - all the benefits, none of the downsides.
