Introducing Clarity: our nootropic stack for deep work
Why we built a focus formula around Lion's Mane, Alpha-GPC and citicoline — and the doses behind each one.
OriginLife · 4 Sept 2026
Clarity is the fourth formula in the OriginLife line, and the one we spent longest getting right. It's built for the kind of work that needs an hour of uninterrupted attention, not a five-minute jolt.
What's in it, and why
Lion's Mane Extract 500mg supports long-term cognitive health. It isn't a stimulant — you won't feel it in twenty minutes — but it's the ingredient we'd least want to leave out.
Alpha-GPC 300mg is a choline source that crosses into the brain readily. Choline is the raw material for acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter most associated with attention and recall.
Citicoline 250mg does related work through a different pathway, which is why we include both rather than doubling one.
Bacopa Monnieri 200mg has the longest traditional history of the four, and the research is most consistent around memory over sustained use.
Why no caffeine
Plenty of focus products lean on caffeine because the effect is immediate and obvious. It also wears off, and the crash tends to arrive right when you need a second working session.
Clarity is caffeine-free by design. If you want a lift on top of it, that's a choice you can make with a coffee — rather than one the formula makes for you.
How we'd stack it
Clarity sits comfortably on top of Core, our daily foundation. If your bottleneck is energy rather than attention, Rise is the better starting point. If you're sleeping badly, start with Calm — no nootropic compensates for a short night.
Every OriginLife formula is dosed at clinically studied levels and third-party tested.
