How Inception works
We combined high-dose neuro-nutrients with botanical activators to support the three systems behind productive cognition.†
- Neurotransmitter Supply†
- Cell Energy & Membranes†
- Botanical Cognition Activators (EMLOM™)†
Catecholamine precursor for stress performance
Mechanism of action
Precursor to the catecholamines dopamine and norepinephrine. Under acute stress or sleep restriction, catecholamine demand rises; tyrosine helps maintain neurotransmitter availability, supporting working memory and vigilance. Not a stimulant.
What it supports
- Mental performance under acute stress (cold, multitasking, fatigue)†
- Working memory and vigilance when sleep‑restricted†
- Cognitive flexibility / interference control in some trials†
- Sense of motivation when catecholamine tone is challenged†
Why this dose
2,000 mg is a commonly studied acute amount for stress‑related cognitive tasks and sustained vigilance. It’s high enough to matter, without the heaviness of very large (mg/kg) research doses.
Notes
- Avoid combining with MAO inhibitors.
- May interact with thyroid medication and levodopa—check with a clinician.
- For best uptake, consider taking away from very high‑protein meals.
- Occasional GI upset or mild headache can occur.

Mitochondrial energy & acetyl donor
Mechanism of action
Transports fatty acids into the mitochondria for ATP production and donates acetyl groups that can be used to synthesize acetylcholine. Exhibits neuro‑metabolic and neurotrophic effects and supports peripheral nerve health.
What it supports
- Mental energy and reduced fatigue, especially in older adults†
- Acetylcholine availability (via acetyl donation)†
- Mitochondrial function and cellular energy†
- General mood support in research settings†
Why this dose
Human studies commonly use 500–2,000 mg/day. 1,000 mg sits in the middle of the effective range and pairs well with choline donors in your stack.
Notes
- May cause mild GI upset; take with food if needed.
- Occasional restlessness if taken late—prefer earlier in the day.
- Talk to a clinician if you have thyroid disorders or are on medication.
- Talk to a clinician if you have a history of seizure disorders or are on antiseizure medications.
- Avoid during pregnancy / lactation due to limited data.

Choline donor for acetylcholine
Mechanism of action
Highly bioavailable choline donor that crosses the blood–brain barrier and supports acetylcholine synthesis and phosphatidylcholine for membranes.
What it supports
- Attention and memory in select contexts†
- Mental clarity and processing under cognitive load†
- Choline status to complement acetyl donors in the stack†
Why this dose
Cognitive studies typically use 300–1,200 mg/day. 600 mg is a strong single‑serving amount for noticeable cholinergic support without excessive cholinergic side effects.
Notes
- Possible headache, nausea, or vivid dreams in cholinergic‑sensitive users.
- Use caution if taking cholinesterase inhibitors or anticholinergic medications.
- Stop if persistent GI issues occur.
Key references
Universal antioxidant & redox cofactor
Mechanism of action
A redox‑active cofactor for mitochondrial dehydrogenase complexes; recycles antioxidants (e.g., glutathione), influences glucose and endothelial pathways, and is both water‑ and fat‑soluble (wide tissue reach).
What it supports
- Healthy oxidative‑stress balance†
- Metabolic & vascular function in research settings†
- Broad mitochondrial support alongside carnitine†
Why this dose
Human trials commonly use 300–600 mg/day. 350 mg delivers meaningful antioxidant/mitochondrial support with good tolerability for daily use.
Notes
- Can lower blood glucose—use caution with diabetes meds and monitor.
- May chelate minerals; separate from iron/zinc supplements by a few hours.
- Occasional heartburn or nausea; take with food if sensitive.

What it supports
- Relaxed focus and smoother task switching†
- Stress attenuation during demanding tasks†
- Calm without drowsiness; pairs well with stimulant‑free stacks†
Why this dose
100–200 mg is typical in human research. 100 mg provides a clean, repeatable calming effect suitable for daytime focus.
Notes
- Generally, well tolerated. May enhance antihypertensive effects.
- Use caution with sedatives (additive calming).
- Rare headache or lightheadedness at higher intakes.
Key references
Cell‑membrane phospholipid for neuronal signaling
Mechanism of action
Key neuronal membrane phospholipid involved in synaptic signaling, plasticity, and stress‑response modulation (e.g., HPA‑axis/cortisol dynamics).
What it supports
- Memory and recall in older adults / cognitively demanding tasks†
- Attention and processing speed under stress†
- Healthy stress‑response tone†
Why this dose
Research often uses 100 mg, 2–3×/day. Your formula provides 100 mg per serving to layer with other cholinergics and membrane‑supportive nutrients.
Notes
- Many products are sunflower‑ or soy‑derived—check for allergies.
- Usually well tolerated; occasional GI discomfort possible.
- Limited data in pregnancy / lactation.
Key references
Phenolic diterpenes (e.g., carnosic acid) & aroma terpenes
Mechanism of action
Rich in phenolic diterpenes (carnosic acid/carnosol) that activate Nrf2 antioxidant pathways and inhibit cholinesterase; aromatic terpenes may influence attention and mood.
What it supports
- Memory and mental clarity in acute settings†
- Antioxidant and neuroprotective milieu†
- Pleasant alert‑calm state complementary to theanine†
Why this dose
500 mg provides a meaningful amount of diterpenes/aromatics aligned with the cognitive/mood outcomes reported in rosemary trials and mechanistic work.

Dr. Kevin Bunting Jr., PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist
After 4 years of exhaustive research and over ten formula iterations, NESIS® was born, supported by 187 peer-reviewed studies. I've ensured each ingredient is at or above the clinically effective dose, not just trace amounts for show.
REAL CUSTOMERS, REAL RESULTS
Routine? Feelings? Results?
NESIS /'nēsəs/
n. A philosophy that recognizes the inception of each physiological pathway as pivotal to achieving systemic equilibrium and enhanced functioning, advocating for targeted, foundational support through clinically researched formulations.
Any Last Questions?
Can I still drink coffee when I take NESIS?
Absolutely, since NESIS has zero (0) mg of caffeine, it is safe to consume your normal amount of daily caffeine.
How many capsules per serving?
Our clinically-researched formula is six (6) easy-swallow vegetarian capsules once daily
Do you recommend starting at the full serving?
Honestly, you know your body best. When we were testing our formula, our users fully tolerated the recommended serving. Also, each serving has been thoroughly researched to be safe and effective at these amounts*
If you are uncomfortable starting at the full serving, we recommend the following serving schedule:
Three (3) capsules once daily for days 1-3
Four (4) capsules once daily for days 4-6
Five (5) capsules once daily for days 7-9
Six (6) capsules once daily starting on day 10
Will NESIS interact with any of my medications or supplements I currently take?
Please speak to your local pharmacist or physician to clarify. We worked very hard to ensure these ingredients have the lowest number of interactions and contraindications, however, this falls into a case-by-case basis.
How is NESIS best taken?
We recommend taking this once daily on an empty stomach upon awakening. Taking this with your morning tea or coffee is OK.
I have diabetes. Is NESIS safe for me to take?
A few of our ingredients have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and suppress gluconeogenesis (production of glucose), therefore may lower blood glucose levels and should be monitored. It is best to speak with your primary physician helping manage your glucose levels to ensure this product is safe for you.
I have a seizure disorder. Is NESIS safe for me to take?
Please speak to your neurologist regarding NESIS supplementation. They will be able to help guide based on your specific seizure disorder (i.e. tonic-clonic, absence, etc.)
What happens if I miss a serving?
If you remember within 8 hours of your normal time to take NESIS INCEPTION, you are OK to take the missed serving.
Example: Normal serving time: NESIS at 0600, remember at lunchtime, OK to take
Example: Normal serving time: NESIS at 0600, remember at dinnertime, SKIP and restart regimen on the following day
NOTE: The reason we tell you to skip the serving is not because of safety issues, it's more related to the idea that you want to take NESIS INCEPTION at the start of your day when you're most alert, not when you're about to unwind and maintain good sleep hygiene.
How long until I start to feel the effects and experience the benefits of NESIS?
Overall, you may start to feel the effects the first morning you take NESIS - between 30-60 minutes.
You should see a bit of a cycle at first while your body is reaching what we call a "steady state" in pharmacokinetic terms. This means your body is maintaining an equilibrium of the molecules within the desired levels.
The cycle may look something like this:
Day 1-5: Relative and noticeable increases in your drive, endurance, memory, focus
Day 6+: Your new baseline which may not "feel" as drastic of a change, but has become the new "flow" state for your functionality
Remember, this product is working at the cellular level, and unlike compounds like caffeine, this should not leave you with jittery jolts followed by a massive crash. The goal is an optimized state of being that is steady and sustainable
Does NESIS contain caffeine? Will I crash midway throughout my day?
NO, there is no caffeine in NESIS therefore, once you reach a steady state, (see FAQ question "How long until I start to feel the effects and experience the benefits of NESIS?" for a definition on steady state) you should have a new baseline energy and efficiency at the cellular level.
Do I take NESIS everyday or just on the days I need a "mental boost?"
You should be taking NESIS daily. In reality, it's only our first four (4) ingredients (L-tyrosine, acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha GPC, and alpha-lipoic acid) that should yield any perceived feelings up front. The remaining six (6) ingredients target more along the chronic stress pathways and chronic systemic inflammation pathways.
In other words, you taking NESIS PRN (as needed) will only give you short-term benefits. If you'd like to optimize to the complete vision of NESIS and also seek out cognitive longevity benefits, we recommend daily use.
My urine sometimes smells like asparagus after taking NESIS. Is this normal?
Yes. The ingredient alpha GPC is a precursor to the molecule choline. If you happen to drink less fluids one day, choline levels may increase and concentrate in the urine during the excretion process and resemble the scent of asparagine (the amino acid responsible for the scent after you eat asparagus).
