NTRPX Formulations v3 — Corrections & Refinements
Critical Changes
1. Neuraldrink™ Sol — Removed Paraxanthine
- v2: Sol™ contained 100mg paraxanthine
- v3: Sol™ is stimulant-free hydration + brain fuel
- Rationale: ParaCaffeine +™ is the optional stimulant add-on; users should be able to hydrate without stimulation
2. Salidroside — Premium Form Only
- v2: “3% salidroside Rhodiola” extract
- v3: ≥98% precision-fermented pure salidroside
- Dose: Boost™ 15mg, Sprint™ 30mg
- Placement: Capsules ONLY (bitter — not suitable for drinks)
3. Huperzine A — Premium Form Only
- v2: “1% Huperzine A extract”
- v3: ≥98% synthetic pure Huperzine A
- Dose: 100 mcg (not 200 mcg)
- Rationale: Pharmaceutical purity, exact dosing, sustainable
4. Melatonin — Added to Recover™
- v2: No melatonin (avoided due to dependency concerns)
- v3: 0.3 mg physiological micro-dose
- Evidence: MIT research confirms 0.3mg is physiological, sustainable, and MORE effective than 3mg+ doses
- Mechanism: Complements glycine thermoregulation; different pathways
5. Sprint™ — Removed Non-Acute Ingredients
- v2: Included Phosphatidylserine (100mg) and Lion’s Mane (500mg)
- v3: Removed both
- Rationale:
- PS monograph states: “PS benefits build over time… this is not an acute-effect supplement”
- Lion’s Mane acute evidence is mixed; primary NGF mechanism is chronic
- Lion’s Mane moved to Boost™ (daily use)
6. Sodium Sources — Pharmaceutical Grade
- v2: “Sodium Citrate + Pink Himalayan 1,000 mg” (confusing)
- v3:
- Sodium Citrate (USP) — 500mg
- Sodium Chloride (USP) — 500mg
- Total sodium: 1,000mg from pharmaceutical sources
- Rationale: Pink Himalayan salt has documented heavy metal (lead) and microplastic contamination
7. Neuraldrink™ — Added Carbohydrate System
- v2: Missing glucose/fructose formulation
- v3:
- Sol™: 15g glucose + 8g fructose (65:35 ratio, 23g total)
- Luna™: 8g glucose + 4g fructose (67:33 ratio, 12g total)
- Rationale: Brain glucose facilitation is core to Neuraldrink™ concept
8. Taste Profile Verification
Confirmed all Neuraldrink™ ingredients pass taste/solubility requirements:| ✓ Included in Drinks | ✗ Excluded (Capsules Only) |
|---|---|
| Glucose, Fructose | Salidroside (bitter) |

| B-vitamins (mild) | Ashwagandha (earthy) |
| Cordyceps water extract (mild) | Creatine (sandy, won’t dissolve) |
9. All Systems Go™ Independence
Verified that All Systems Go™ provides complete daily optimization WITHOUT requiring Neuraldrink™:- ✓ Full creatine (5g/day split Boost + Sustain)
- ✓ Full choline (550mg/day CDP-Choline)
- ✓ Full B-complex (active forms)
- ✓ Full omega-3 (DHA + EPA)
- ✓ Full sleep support (glycine, Mg, NR, melatonin)
- ✓ Full adaptogens (salidroside, ashwagandha, bacopa)
