Thesis Nootropics Review

Nootropics fan and expert James Dixon examines this personalized supplement in our Thesis Nootropics review. Find out how he rates it after testing it below…

Nootropic supplements – so called ‘smart drugs’ – are all the rage. They represent a rapidly expanding corner of the supplement market and have had genuinely life-altering effects on many, many users – myself included.

They’re not actually ‘drugs’ as you would think of them. This isn’t medication we’re talking about, here. Rather, these supplements are compounds of natural ingredients designed to work together to boost your cognitive health and brain function.

A good nootropic should help you feel smarter… which is a bold claim. There is something to it, however.

Nootropics should aid your focus, learning skills, memory, and creativity. They should reduce brain fog, anxiety, and lethargy, replacing them with clarity, calm, and plenty of low-key energy.

If you struggle with any of these symptoms, there is a good chance that you could do with a quality nootropic, which is exactly what we’re looking at today. Though perhaps not the best of the best, Thesis Nootropics offer a range of products that are all intelligently crafted and, to a degree, fairly personalized.

And when I say they aren’t the best of the best, this doesn’t mean much. The nootropic market is crowded. There are a couple of standout items out there – NooCube springs to mind. Playing second fiddle to these is still a large accomplishment.

Let’s dive in and take a full look as I dig in to this Thesis Nootropics review.

Introducing Thesis Nootropics

As above, Thesis Nootropics are smart drugs. They offer high-quality nootropics that are designed to help with various aspects of your cognitive health and function. Their products all contain top-shelf ingredients all proven to help your brain to work optimally.

They also do something a bit different. Where most nootropics – and most other supplements, for that matter – offer you the same over-the-counter pills as they would offer anyone else, Thesis bring personalized supplements to bear.

Through their online store, you can fully personalize your nootropic options to make the most of your own specific needs and circumstances.

It’s really quite clever.

They started out as FindMyFormula.com before rebranding a few years back. So, although ‘Thesis Nootropics’ may seem like a newcomer to the market, they have actually been around for a long time.

They bring this pedigree to the fore with this product. With a customer base of over half a million users, they have proven themselves and then some.

The data they hold from their research into nootropics is peerless – I can’t think of anyone with better. And they use it well, crafting and re-crafting their formulae with proper, diligent science and data in mind.

The personalization process is actually quite straightforward too – at least, it is for the customer, which is always nice.

You start off by going to their website and taking their questionnaire. Don’t worry, it’s not all that comprehensive, asking for only basic information. There is no need to take any lab tests or divulge your medical history.

However, it’s enough for them to make a match for the nootropic blends that will best suit your needs.

There are two ways to read this, of course. Either, it’s a non-invasive way to tailor your supplements, or it’s not a deep enough dive, so how well tailored can they really be?

I felt a little let down, here. When I came in being promised ‘personalized supplements’ I had higher hopes. Instead, it’s just sort of asking what you want and pointing you in the right direction.

It’s nice, it’s just not quite as revolutionary as the literature and branding suggest.

The next phase is good, though. They’ll send your shipment out to arrive within 1-3 business days.

However, they ask you to treat this as a sample; they invite you to try out a few different blends of theirs before picking it.

This data is fed back to their algorithm, further enhancing their future prescriptive capabilities. Again, you can read this cynically or not.

Either it’s a great way to search out what works best for you, or it’s doing their job for them and getting you to buy plenty of their products in the process… if their original diagnostics are that good, why do you then need to cycle through their catalog?

Except that they allow you to try up to four before committing to a longer-term formula. Pair this with that original questionnaire and, cynicism on hold, you have an excellent and innovative product.

It helps you to refine your own choices without having to do the legwork, which can often take months, a lot of money, and a fair amount of trial and error.

The final part is my favorite part, and dispels much of my lingering cynicism…

As a Thesis customer, you are assigned a nootropics expert, a sort of coach and pharmacist in one. You can consult with them virtually at any time.

They can help you to further refine your nootropics regime, find ways to optimize your results, track your progress and wellbeing, and generally educate you by ably answering any questions you might have.

I love this. It takes Thesis to the next level – it’s less a supplement and more a course focused on wellbeing.

It’s not cheap, I’ll warn you now. A starter kit will go over a hundred dollars. A prescription will run to a monthly bill of around eighty.

This is roughly twice what you would pay for something like NooCube or Mind Lab Pro, supplements I consider to be the best of the best. It’s around four times what you could pay for a lower-end, albeit workable nootropic.

You’re presented with a choice, then: pay extra for the support and tailoring, or pay a far more reasonable amount for something that will still do the job incredibly well.

Why Choose Thesis Nootropics?

The benefits of Thesis Nootropics are fairly straightforward.

Firstly, Thesis shares the same benefits as any other good-quality nootropic supplement. They offer several blends (more on this below), which between them can improve your cognitive function from pretty much every angle.

You can boost your cognitive energy, improve your clarity, improve your memory and learning abilities, clear brain fog, improve your mood, reduce your stress levels, and boost your ability to focus, among other things.

This is all good. It’s what you’re looking for in a nootropic in the first place.

But, of course, the benefits go beyond this. The two main things you get from Thesis that set it apart and above most of its competition, are really very special.

Firstly, of course, you get the personalization mentioned above. This can be fantastic. Or it can be a little superfluous.

If you try something like NooCube, you will probably find it working for you. It may not be 100% scientifically optimal, but it will be 95% there for most of us.

However, if others haven’t worked for you, personalization may be a very good idea. You can really zero in on the aspects of your own cognitive health and function that you feel need improving.

Also, if you want to get that final 5% (figures not accurate, of course) and don’t mind parting with a little extra cash, Thesis can be well worth it. You will be as cognitively optimal as modern nootropic research can make you, which is no small thing.

Then there is the access to their experts. Again, this can be superfluous. How much do most of us really need to know about nootropics above and beyond what you can read in any good review or rundown? Just learn the basics, throw back a couple of NooCube capsules, and get on with your life.

But, again, it can be wonderful. This is where the extra price begins to seem really quite minimal.

Thesis Nootropic Ingredients

Thesis Nootropics offer several different blends, relatively personalized towards the individual, focused entirely on aiding different facets of cognition and brain health.

Given these differences, it’s no surprise that each blend contains a different list of ingredients – though there are of course some commonalities between them.

The Energy blend is one of their most popular. The formula is made to boost your energy levels whilst fighting fatigue and improving your mental stamina.

Next up, we have Thesis’ Clarity, which contains plenty of the ingredients I would expect to see in any good nootropic to maintain focus, support attention, and enter flow state – which is when you are achieving an optimal state of consciousness, fully immersed in a task and performing at your best.

Motivation is a bit of a funny one, as motivation is inherently a hard metric to either properly define or measure. However, in this context, motivation means a boost to willpower and productivity, and help in warding off procrastination.

Then we have Creativity, which is often misunderstood in nootropics. Being creative helps us think outside the box; stretch the imagination and come up with solutions to problems. This formula also works to improve verbal fluency and confidence. So what sounds like fandango initially could actually be incredibly beneficial on a day-to-day basis.

Finally, we have Thesis’ latest blend, Confidence. As you may well imagine, this leads to a boost in confidence!

Confidence’s ingredients all target stress, especially stress responses to insecurities, whilst promoting a feeling of self-assurance. It also aims to ‘soothe the nerves’, so that you can function calmly.

Edit: Thesis have since added Logic to their collection: perhaps their most closely linked to a classic nootropic, as it works to support memory, encourage deep thinking, and improve processing speed.

How to Use Thesis Nootropics

Nootropics are amongst the easier supplements to live with. There are no special timings or anything like that to hit, and the portions are all very manageable.

Thesis Nootropics fit this pattern nicely. For all of their different lines, simply take them in the morning, ideally when you first get up, on an empty stomach with a decent glass of water.

If you need a bit of an extra boost during the day (particularly if you’re going for the energy blend), feel free to take a second dose at lunchtime to see you through until the evening. This will ensure clarity and energy all day long.

Using Thesis Nootropics

I was quite sceptical of nootropics when I first heard about them in the early 2010s. They sounded too good to be true – over-the-counter supplements made from all-natural ingredients that can boost your brain health and cognitive function? No way.

Many are too good to be true. Plenty of nootropics out there don’t do anything above and beyond giving you a brief energy kick, and this is usually down to their caffeine content. You’d be better off having a cup of coffee or cheap caffeine supplement.

Thesis Nootropics are not too good to be true. They are good – very good, in fact – and highly workable.

I’m not entirely sold on them. I find them to be a bit gimmicky. They shouldn’t be gimmicky, of course – tailoring to your uses and offering coaching is no gimmick.

However, it’s just a little shallow to be truly tailored – they are simply giving you a selection of stacks, which many supplement stores offer (CrazyBulk, for instance).

And the coaching is perhaps a little superfluous for most people.

But the supplements themselves are good. They are well developed, well made, high quality, and will absolutely elicit the effects they claim in many, many people.

I got on well with them. I took their Energy blend first, which is always my priority (I’m always juggling seven or eight different projects at any time, so an energy boost will always be welcome!)

It did what it said it would. I found my focus improving and my energy lasting me through the day. I usually drink a lot of coffee, which tends to give me spikes and crashes. The spike wasn’t as high with the Energy blend, but nor was there any kind of crash.

I also tried Clarity, as I take a couple of prescription medications that can lead to a touch of brain fog. It cut through my brain fog well, lending me a great deal of clear-sighted cognitive energy. There was no coming round in the morning, no chugging espressos just to form a coherent sentence. Or, at least, I came round quicker and reduced my espresso intake.

I also wanted to know a bit about Thesis’ coaches, or whatever they call themselves.

I got in touch and was chatting to a woman with a highly relevant, impressive array of academic credentials just a few days later. She explained how the components in the blends I was trying worked and interplayed, and pointed me in the direction of a couple more that I might like to try.

The advice was kind of handy, though it wasn’t anything I would struggle to find out just from perusing their website. The information was interesting to a health and supplements nerd, but that was it. I can’t imagine it being in any way helpful. I can’t even imagine it being interesting to most people.

It’s not a good use of money (and you will be spending a lot of money on Thesis). The supplement is strong – the blends I tried were strong. But none of them gave me the kinds of results I have experienced whilst taking cheaper, better nootropics, namely NooCube – this is what I personally tend to take on an ongoing basis.

There is no harm in trying Thesis. They offer a one-month money-back guarantee, so you can get that hefty price tag (generally around $119) back again if you’re not satisfied.

I think you will be satisfied. Thesis is a satisfying product. It’s just not the best, and the best happens to be an awful lot cheaper.

Do also bear in mind that nootropics can cause side effects – Thesis’ blends are no exception. They can lead to blurred vision, high blood pressure, an accelerated pulse, circulation problems, and insomnia, though severe or long-lasting cases are rare.

Our Thesis Video Review

Verdict

Thesis Nootropics are good. In fact, they are very good. The personalized aspect, whilst admittedly a little shallow, is still very welcome. I like it a lot.

As a bit of a supplements nerd, I also love the idea of being able to chat to an expert at any time – this really is a nice touch.

However, I can’t help but feel that it’s all a little superfluous. Most people know their own needs. A quick Google search will show you what nootropics will be best for you. If in doubt, go for a cover-all nootropic. I keep mentioning NooCube with good reason – it should do pretty much everything that all of Thesis’ blends do.

Then there is the price. You’re paying a lot for a good product with plenty of customer care involved. However, as above, the customer care is largely excessive. If you really want it – and I can see plenty of people wanting it, with good reason – then by all means fork out extra.

However, it’s just a little extravagant for most people.

For a month’s supply (at non-subscription prices), you can buy around three months’ worth of NooCube. For this, you’ll be getting just about the best nootropic on the market with no extra legwork – just simply take it each morning, save some money, and get on with your life with your cognitive health in near perfect shape.
