THE FORMULA PHILOSOPHY

No Ingredient Works Alone.

Neurotransmission, energy metabolism, antioxidant protection, and cerebral circulation all interplay in mental and physical performance. HP-1 is built around that interplay, pairing fast-acting actives with longer-term metabolic and neuroprotective support.

1

ENERGY METABOLISM

Creatine, Betaine HCl, Iodine

ATP availability in muscle and brain, cellular hydration, and thyroid-driven metabolic rate.

2

NEUROTRANSMISSION

Caffeine, L-Theanine, Choline

Adenosine-receptor blocking for alertness, calm-focus synergy, and cholinergic signalling.

3

NEUROPROTECTION

Bacopa, Ginkgo, Vitamin C & E

Antioxidant and micro-circulatory support built for consistent long-term use.

4

ABSORPTION

B-Vitamins, Black Pepper

Coenzyme and methylation support, plus piperine-enhanced bioavailability.

Creatine Monohydrate
Everyday dose

Taken consistently, creatine helps get rid of brain fog over time.

What it does

Enhances muscular power, strength, and recovery via phosphocreatine stores supporting rapid ATP regeneration. The brain uses ~20% of the body's ATP, creatine helps maintain neuronal ATP availability, supporting mental clarity and resilience under sleep deprivation or mental load, even at low doses (0.03-0.1 g/kg).

Why it's in HP-1

Delivered in a low, daily-support dose ideal for cognitive support without a loading phase, part of the "everyday performance" foundation.

What the research says

Rae et al., 2003 (Proc Biol Sci), improved working memory after short-term use. Avgerinos et al., 2018 (Exp Gerontol), supports cognition under high energy demand. Allen et al., 2021 (Front Nutr), neuroprotective, mitochondrial health.

Practical tip

No loading phase required, consistent daily use is what matters.

Caffeine
150 mg

A measured dose to help you lock in fast, without jitters or crashes.

What it does

Blocks adenosine receptors, reducing fatigue and increasing alertness; improves reaction time, vigilance, and attention.

Why it's in HP-1

150 mg gives robust but moderate stimulation, enough to raise alertness without pushing into overly high doses for habitual users.

What the research says

Caffeine + theanine improves attention switching and reduces distractibility vs. caffeine alone. Proven ergogenic aid for physical tasks under many conditions.

Practical tip

Take 20-30 minutes before a demanding session. Avoid at night if caffeine-sensitive.

L-Theanine
25 mg

Works alongside caffeine for a calmer, more balanced focus.

What it does

An amino acid from green tea, used with caffeine to provide "calm focus", enhancing attention while moderating overstimulation.

Why it's in HP-1

Softens the edges of stimulation, reducing jitteriness and sharpening attention switching, alert but controlled, not wired.

What the research says

Caffeine + theanine improved speed and accuracy on attention-switching tasks (PubMed). Meta-analysis: SMD 0.39-0.54 for alertness vs. placebo (BioMed Central).

Practical tip

Most effective taken together with HP-1's caffeine dose, it's the pairing, not either ingredient alone, that drives the calm-focus effect.

Choline
50 mg

Supports key brain processes involved in focus and cognition.

What it does

Precursor to acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter for memory, attention, and neuromuscular function.

Why it's in HP-1

Supports cholinergic pathways for attention and focus, bolstering the "mental engine" alongside caffeine and theanine.

What the research says

Listed alongside creatine, Bacopa, and Ginkgo in a review of cognition-optimising dietary ingredients (Liebert Publications).

Practical tip

Works best alongside adequate overall nutrition, expect incremental, not overnight, support.

Betaine HCl
50 mg

Supports nutrient uptake so your body uses the formula fully.

What it does

Trimethylglycine, dual role as an osmolyte for cell hydration and a methyl donor, studied for strength and endurance.

Why it's in HP-1

Supports hydration and cellular volume for muscle and nerve performance, rounding out the physical-performance half of the formula.

What the research says

Methyl donors like betaine support neuro-metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis indirectly.

Practical tip

Effects build with consistency, supports acute sessions via hydration and metabolic readiness.

Iodine
25 µg

Supports cognitive function and nervous system health.

What it does

Essential trace element critical for thyroid hormone production, underpinning energy metabolism and cognitive clarity.

Why it's in HP-1

Ensures thyroid-metabolic support isn't a weak link, the "engine" stays well-tuned for caffeine and focus nutrients to act on.

What the research says

Thyroid hormones regulate basal metabolic rate, CNS activity, and peripheral energy usage.

Practical tip

Complements dietary iodine sources, sea-vegetables, fish, dairy.

Bacopa Monnieri & Ginkgo Biloba
25 mg each

Supports blood flow and long-term cognitive performance.

What it does

The "smart-focus herbals", Bacopa supports antioxidant, mitochondrial and anti-inflammatory pathways; Ginkgo's antioxidant and micro-circulatory support may aid cognitive endurance under stress.

Why it's in HP-1

Combined in a multi-ingredient matrix, may enhance effect through multiple pathways, neurotransmission, circulation, mitochondrial support, stress resilience.

What the research says

Bacopa: 2008 human trial (PMC), 2024 systematic review (MDPI). Ginkgo: circulatory-support study (ScienceDirect). Broader PMC review notes variable effect sizes across populations.

Practical tip

Botanical nootropics show more benefit with consistent use over several weeks.

B-Vitamins
B6 · B5 · B12

Regulates energy metabolism and normal psychological function.

What it does

Key in energy metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis (dopamine, acetylcholine, noradrenaline), and methylation pathways.

Why it's in HP-1

Gives the primary focus and performance ingredients a supportive metabolic foundation.

What the research says

B12 in combination with botanicals listed as a candidate cognitive-function support (Liebert Publications).

Practical tip

Works as part of the formula's overall metabolic base, not a standalone active.

Vitamin C & Vitamin E
Antioxidant pair

Helps protect brain cells from oxidative stress.

What it does

Antioxidant partners that help protect neural tissue from oxidative stress and support performance under load.

Why it's in HP-1

Rounds out the formula's neuroprotective layer alongside the botanical nootropics.

What the research says

Referenced within the formula's broader antioxidant-protection rationale.

Practical tip

Supports long-term brain health as part of daily, consistent use.

Black Pepper
~5 mg

Improves the absorption and effectiveness of key ingredients.

What it does

Piper nigrum extract included to support bioavailability of the formula's botanical extracts via piperine.

Why it's in HP-1

Ensures the botanical actives are actually absorbed and usable rather than lost to poor bioavailability.

What the research says

Piperine's absorption-enhancing role is part of the formula's supporting-nutrient rationale.

Practical tip

A small but functional dose, it's there to make the rest of the formula work harder.
