Cognitive Protocol — Mental Clarity & Focus (1-Month Supply)
NAD+ Capsules · Lion's Mane Drops
- 1 × NAD+ Capsules
- 1 × Lion's Mane Drops — 30ml
- 1 × Evening Recovery — 30 sachets
- 1 × Methylene Blue 1% Drops — 30ml (advanced, optional)
Not a powder. Not a blend. The Cognitive Protocol is a curated selection of four full-size Lux Vita products — chosen to work together across a full day and shipped as one month of supply. Three for daily clarity, energy and recovery, plus one advanced compound for experienced users.
The four products inside
- NAD+ Capsules — Nicotinamide Riboside, Quercetin & Trans-Resveratrol for daily cellular energy. Two capsules each morning.
- Lion's Mane Drops (30ml) — 1180mg liquid fruiting-body extract for daily cognitive support. One dropper in water or coffee.
- Evening Recovery (30 sachets) — the Natural Lemon night-time drink: Magnesium L-Threonate, Magnesium Glycinate, Glycine & L-Theanine, before bed.
- Methylene Blue 1% Drops (30ml) — pharmaceutical-grade, advanced & occasional-use only. Read the safety section below before use.
How to run it
Morning: one dropper of Lion's Mane + two NAD+ capsules with breakfast.
Before bed: one Evening Recovery sachet stirred into water.
Occasional & optional: methylene blue, only if you've cleared the safety checks below — it is not part of the daily routine.
The daily actives are cumulative. Run the protocol consistently for 4–8 weeks rather than judging it on a single day.
Why these four together
Focus isn't one lever, it's a daily cycle. Lion's Mane supports the brain's structural maintenance over weeks. NAD+ supports the cellular energy that sustains attention through the day. Evening Recovery protects the sleep that consolidates everything you did while awake. Methylene blue sits outside the daily rhythm as an optional tool for those who already understand it. Four single, transparent products — no proprietary blends, nothing hidden in a scoop.
The science, in brief
- NAD+ Capsules. Nicotinamide Riboside (500mg) + Quercetin (100mg) + Trans-Resveratrol (50mg) per serving. NAD+ is the coenzyme cells use to turn fuel into usable energy and run their own repair machinery (the sirtuin pathway); it declines with age. The body can't absorb NAD+ directly, so we use NR — the most-studied precursor, which is bioavailable and crosses the blood–brain barrier. Clinical work has shown NR raises blood NAD+ in humans.
- Lion's Mane. Hericium erinaceus is rich in hericenones and erinacines, studied for their potential role in nerve growth factor (NGF) signalling — how neurons grow and maintain connections. A slow-build active; most people notice a shift over two to four weeks of daily use.
- Evening Recovery. Per sachet (6.5g): Magnesium L-Threonate 2,000mg, Magnesium Glycinate 1,000mg, Glycine 3,000mg, L-Theanine 200mg. No melatonin, no morning fog.
- Methylene Blue. USP pharmaceutical-grade, ~5mg per dropper; a redox-active compound studied for its role in mitochondrial electron transport. Not a daily supplement.
What the evidence does — and doesn't — say
Each active carries its own research base. Human studies on Lion's Mane and NR are emerging and encouraging for cognitive function and cellular energy; the Evening Recovery ingredients have established use for calm and sleep quality. We deliberately make no disease or longevity claims — the decades of human data those would require don't exist yet. What we stand behind: researched ingredients, at researched doses, third-party tested, presented honestly. Outcomes are individual.
Read this before using the methylene blue
Methylene blue is the one advanced component in this protocol. It interacts with serotonergic medications — including SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, and triptans — in some cases dangerously. It is contraindicated in pregnancy and not advised for anyone with G6PD deficiency. If you take prescription medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a diagnosed condition, do not use the methylene blue without first consulting a clinician. The other three products are suitable for daily use. Methylene blue also stains — handle with care and keep tightly capped.

Why These Two Work Together
Two Layers of Brain Health
A neuron needs two things to function well over time: adequate energy to perform its tasks, and structural maintenance to survive and remain connected. NMN addresses the energy side neurons are metabolically expensive cells, and declining NAD+ directly reduces the efficiency of the mitochondria that power them. Lion's Mane addresses the structural side NGF supports the growth, maintenance, and survival of the neurons themselves, and the density of the synaptic connections between them. These are not competing interventions. They operate at different levels of the same system.
Shared Neuroprotective Direction
Both compounds have demonstrated neuroprotective properties in preclinical research, albeit through different mechanisms. NAD+ precursors reduce neuronal vulnerability to oxidative stress and support the repair of DNA damage a key driver of age-related neuronal loss. Lion's Mane reduces neuroinflammation and supports neurogenesis in the hippocampus, the brain region most associated with memory and most vulnerable to age-related decline. Together, they address neuroprotection from both the metabolic and structural directions.
Cholinergic System Support
The cholinergic system which uses acetylcholine as its primary neurotransmitter is central to attention, learning, and memory. It is also one of the earliest systems affected in age-related cognitive decline. NGF is critically important to the maintenance of cholinergic neurons. Adequate NAD+ supports the energy metabolism these neurons depend on. The Cognitive Stack therefore has a specific relevance to the most at-risk cognitive system in the ageing brain.
Timing Compatibility
Both products are taken in the morning. NMN has been associated with wakefulness-promoting effects if taken in the evening; Lion's Mane is neutral on this dimension. Morning administration of both is consistent with their mechanisms and with good sleep hygiene.
Who This Stack Is For
- Adults over 35 prioritising long-term cognitive health and mental sharpness
- Knowledge workers, executives, or anyone whose professional performance depends on sustained cognitive function
- Those with a family history of cognitive decline who are investing early in preventative support
- Anyone who has noticed early signs of cognitive fatigue, word retrieval difficulties, or reduced mental stamina
- Users who understand that meaningful cognitive support requires patience and consistency, not quick effects
How to Use
NAD+ Capsules: 1–2 capsules with breakfast. Do not take in the evening.
Lion's Mane Drops: Recommended dose in water, juice, or coffee. Morning or midday.
Minimum Duration: Allow 8–12 weeks before assessing effect. This is not a stack for impatient supplementation.
Upgrade This Stack
Add Shilajit to extend the energy and adaptogenic benefits and form the Full Protocol Stack. Add Evening Recovery Powder to support the overnight cognitive consolidation and repair processes that complement the daytime investment of this stack.
