§ I — The Premise

Cognitive drift starts long before you'd think.

Processing speed peaks in your late twenties. Working memory follows. By 40, most adults notice subtle changes — slower retrieval, harder focus, a sense that the mind that used to be effortless takes more effort. The biology is real.

§ II — The Formula

Five compounds. Trial-equivalent doses.

Most nootropic supplements bury 12 ingredients at fairy-dust doses. We do the opposite. Five evidence-supported actives, each at the dose used in published research. Lion's Mane and Cordyceps fruiting body extracts. Reishi for stress modulation. Bacopa for memory consolidation. L-theanine for acute focus support.

500mg organic Lion's Mane fruiting body (30% beta-glucans). 500mg organic Cordyceps fruiting body. 500mg organic Reishi fruiting body. 300mg standardised Bacopa (50% bacosides). 200mg L-theanine. Every milligram on the label.

§ III — The Protocol

Two capsules. Morning. Daily.

Claros is a daily food supplement designed for adults who'd rather understand than be sold to. There's no caffeine, no proprietary blend, no fairy-dust trace of an active compound. Just five molecules at the doses used in the studies — taken consistently, with food.

01

Take two capsules with your morning meal.

Consistency matters more than perfect timing. The cumulative effects from Lion's Mane and Bacopa require daily use across weeks.

02

L-theanine pairs with your coffee.

Acute focus expresses inside 30-60 minutes. The L-theanine smooths the caffeine edge while extending sustained attention.

03

The full formula expresses by week 12.

Bacopa and Lion's Mane work over weeks rather than hours. Most users notice changes around week 4; the full curve closes around week 12.

§ IV — Field Notes

Read first. Decide later.
