How Neubrain Uses CognatiQ Differently Than Competitors

How Neubrain Uses CognatiQ Differently Than Competitors - NEUBRAIN

Introduction: The Problem With “Ordinary” Mushroom Coffee

The mushroom coffee industry is booming — but here’s the problem: many brands emphasize exotic mushrooms while overlooking the science of how your brain actually performs. Competitors like Ryze, Everyday Dose, or Four Sigmatic rely almost exclusively on mushroom adaptogens, leaving out crucial ingredients that boost focus and cognitive performance in measurable, research-backed ways.

At Neubrain, we designed our Smart Coffee to solve this gap. Our formula doesn’t just rely on mushrooms — it integrates CognatiQ®, a clinically studied nootropic that directly supports mental performance. This makes Neubrain not just another mushroom coffee, but a performance coffee designed for focus, productivity, and long-term brain health.

What Exactly is CognatiQ®?

CognatiQ® is a patented extract derived from the whole coffee fruit (not the bean). While most coffee companies discard this fruit as waste, research shows it contains powerful compounds that support brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) — a key protein involved in memory, learning, and cognitive resilience.

-Clinical Evidence: A double-blind, placebo-controlled study published through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that CognatiQ® supplementation increased BDNF by 143% within just 2 hours of consumption (NIH source).

-Why it Matters: Higher BDNF means stronger connections between brain cells, improved learning capacity, and faster mental processing.

Most mushroom coffees don’t include anything that directly influences BDNF, which means they fall short of unlocking your brain’s true potential. Neubrain is the first to bridge this gap.

How Neubrain Uses CognatiQ® Differently

Competitor Approach: Mushrooms Alone

-Brands like Ryze and Everyday Dose focus on mushrooms like Lion’s Mane or Chaga.

-While these are excellent for immune health and stress support, they don’t fully address focus, memory, and learning speed.

-They often lack clinical dosages, making it hard to notice immediate results.

Neubrain’s Approach: Synergy of Mushrooms + CognatiQ®

-Neubrain combines 5 fruiting-body mushrooms (Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Reishi, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail) with CognatiQ® for a two-pronged effect:

-Mushrooms = long-term immune, stress, and gut health.

-CognatiQ® = short-term and long-term cognitive enhancement.

-Unlike others, Neubrain uses clinically validated dosages of CognatiQ®, making the effects noticeable after your first cup.

Key Points:

-Boosts BDNF for memory & learning.

-Works synergistically with mushrooms for brain + body wellness.

-Only brand to combine 5 mushrooms + 3 patented nootropics in one formula.

-Effects noticeable after first serving, not weeks.


Why CognatiQ® + Neubrain Feels Different

When you drink Neubrain Smart Coffee, you’re not just getting smoother energy — you’re getting real neurochemical support.

-L-Theanine + CognatiQ® = calm, alert focus without jitters.

-Caffeine + Infinergy® (another patented ingredient) = sustained energy curve without crash.

-CognatiQ® + Lion’s Mane = enhanced BDNF and neuroprotection.

This isn’t placebo. It’s the difference between coffee that just wakes you up versus coffee that fuels your mental performance.

What the Research Says

-CognatiQ®: Increases BDNF by 143% within 2 hours (NIH study).

-Lion’s Mane: Shown to improve cognitive function in older adults (NIH study).

-Cordyceps: Enhances exercise performance and VO2 max (NIH study).

Competitors might include one or two of these mushrooms, but without CognatiQ® they’re missing the piece that ties it all together: BDNF-driven brain performance.


 

Call to Action

At Neubrain, we didn’t just want to make mushroom coffee. We wanted to create the first truly performance-focused coffee — something you’d feel after the first cup, and something backed by peer-reviewed science.

That’s why we use CognatiQ® differently. Competitors can add mushrooms. But only Neubrain combines mushrooms with patented nootropics like CognatiQ®, Infinergy®, and BioPerine®.
