Our Mind Lab Pro Review – A note from the Editor:
You may have noticed that we’re strongly against caffeinated stacks and proprietary blends.
In this market you’re usually dealing with one or the other – or potential side effects from a lesser addition like DMAE.
Mind Lab Pro however is different. It’s the best nootropic I’ve ever used, and currently our #1 in our top 3 – and the only nootropic I continue to re-order to this day.
Endorsed by Clinical Neuropsychologists, and Chess Grandmaster Nigel Short – it’s one of the few nootropics that delivers on its promises.
In our Mind Lab Pro review, I run you through the benefits and ingredients of Mind Lab Pro and at the end list my own unbiased experience with the supplement.
Enjoy.
Mind Lab Pro Review: What does this nootropic do?
Made by Opti-Nutra, a small UK-based Nutraceuticals company. At present, Mind Lab Pro is their only product – and it’s claimed to:
- Boost Cognition – Be generally sharper, let’s your brain work at a faster rate.
- Increase Mental Clarity and Focus – Clearer mind and can concentrate on tasks more.
- Improve Memory – Experience stronger recall, and remember experiences in more detail.
- Promote Mood – Feel better in yourself with more postivity and confidence.
- Support Brain Health – Helps ensure the processes in your brain are running as effectively as they can.
- Ramp up Verbal Fluency – Feel more witty, with improved mental agility for putting together sentence in conversation.
These are all bold claims – so does Mind Lab Pro deliver on this?
In my opinion it does, but we’ll get to my results later. Here’s what you need to know about the product.
Mind Lab Pro Review – The Features:
The first thing that we noticed when we began researching our Mind Lab Pro review was their 30 day guarantee.
Buying nootropics online is always difficult, and at $65.00, Mind Lab Pro isn’t cheap. You want to know you’re covered when buying them, in case they don’t perform how you’d expect.
Here’s Mind Lab Pro’s guarantee:
If for any reason you don’t feel satisfied taking the product – send it back after you’ve used it and Opti-Nutra will re-imburse you.
This is just open to being abused by customers. I even emailed the reps at Opti-Nutra to see if there was any small print with this deal.
They claimed as long as you’re not satisfied, used it for 30 days, and you still have the empty bottles of MLP, you can see it all back and get a refund.
The rep also added that I’d be surprised at how few customers take them up on the guarantee too. Which is a good sign.
Endorsed by Neuropsychologists:
As I’ve mentioned, this is the only natural nootropic stack that I’ve seen endorsed by a Clinical Neuropsychologist.
Dr. Paul Nussbaum has been studying the mind and how we think for many years. He knows exactly what’s needed to get the most out of our brains.
It was interesting to see his Mind Lab Pro review:
It’s pretty compelling stuff – and having this kind of status behind Mind Lab Pro does wonders for it’s credibilty.
There’s also Chess Champion Nigel Short, and other impressive figures who use Mind Lab Pro. You can see all of their success stories at: https://www.mindlabpro.com/stories/
What you need to know about the ingredients in Mind Lab Pro:
When it comes to the ingredients, we found the best stack we’ve seen in our Mind Lab Pro Review. Every nutrient has been carefully selected to give you a concrete cognitive advantage.
Breaking it down here’s what you need to know about the core ingredients in this product:
Citicholine
One of the better nootopics out there – Citicholine is one of the best options for full cognition.
It’s a neurotransmitter in your brain that helps promote both focus, memory and learning.
Mind Lab Pro uses Cognizin, which is essentially the Armani of Choline. It’s high-end and works beautifully.
Bacopa Monnieri
Another solid choice, it works completely differenlty to Citicholine and helps boost cognition in other ways.
There are masses of studies out there that back up Bacopa. Numerous clinical trials have shown it to dramatically boost memory formations while reducing overall feelings of anxiety.
It’s a great addition to this nootropic stack and ideal for anyone who wants to remain calmer and more relaxed under pressure.
Phosphatidylserine
This is a great option for so many reasons – Phosphatidylserine has 4 major benefits in a nootropic.
Promoting mood, memory, focus and even helping to reduce cognitive decline. This is one of the better options you’ll find in a noot stack.
This is all down to how it promotes brain cell energy, and general brain cell generation. It will give you a stronger mind that you can feel the difference with.
L-Theanine
One of the better nootropics for helping both relaxation and focus. This amino acid is a good cognitive support in Mind Lab Pro.
L-Theanine is a great choice that after being absorbed actively promotes the relaxation hormones like GABA and serotonin in your system.
This helps you feel more at ease, with less anxiety and an overall feeling of confidence.
It helps you to work more productively without suffering the pressures and anxieties that usually tag along with difficult tasks.
Rhodiola Rosea
This Scandinavian herb is a great option for mood and motivation.
There’s a lot to be said about the effects of Rhodiola Rosea, which make it very useful as a nootropic.
Studies have shown that regular supplementation of this herb has been linked to reducing fatigue and depression while promoting overall well-being.
Not only that, the nutrient has been seen to also improve sleep quality.
It puts you in a better, more positive mind set which allows you to work at a happier, more productive pace.
To make things easier, Opti-Nutra have a list of all the ingredients used in Mind Lab Pro and the studies behind them.

Mind Lab Pro Review – Nutrient Profile Overview:
On the whole, this is hands down the best nutrient profile we’ve seen in a nootropic.
All the essentials are there. Bacopa, Phosphatidylserine, Rhodiola Rosea, L-Theanine, etc.
Even some additional extras like Maritime Pine Bark Extract and Pterostilbene for blood flow and absorption are good bonuses.
They’re all above board, solid choices, safe and effective.
It’s an ideal nootropics stack.
Are there any side effects?
When taking Mind Lab Pro, I notice no negative effects – and put this mainly down to the lack of caffeine.
With nootropics that I’ve taken in the past that contain stimulants, I’ve noticed a sharp rush in energy and focus, followed by a steady rise in fatigue.
It leaves me worse off than when I started. A nootropic shouldn’t have to depend on stimulants to get your cognition up – and those that take this option usually aren’t that great.
We can’t see you having any problems with Mind Lab Pro – and the ingredients are completely natural and vegan friendly.

Mind Lab Pro Review – The Results:
When I ordered Mind Lab Pro, I was excited to try it out.
Usually with nootropics I tend to be more sceptical, but the fact that this product has been backed up by both a Clinical Neuropsychologist and a Chess Grandmaster really got me interested.
It arrived a few days after ordering and I couldn’t wait to try it out. It’s recommended to take 2 capsules a day so that’s what I did.
How long did it take to work?
For me, it took around a week. Some people take longer, others have said in their Mind Lab Pro Review, that they feel the effects within a few days. But the difference is definitely noticeable.
What did I experience in work?
The main thing I felt while doing our Mind Lab Pro review, was as improved sense of both clarity and motivation.
I become more ambitious about achieving goals, and can work for longer intervals without getting distracted.
A lot of my job involves a lot of research and typing, and with Mind Lab Pro my productivity goes through the roof.
A 1000 word report that would usually take me an hour to an hour and a half – is usually done now in around 45 minutes, depending on how familiar I am with the subject.
What I did experience with people?
Another great benefit of Mind Lab Pro is how it helps to improve your conversation skills.
The verbal fluency factor is definitely apparent in this supplement.
I notice I’m faster in conversations when using Mind Lab Pro – the right words come up in my head more frequently.
I put this down to the L-Theanine, it relaxes you more and allows you to sharpens your attention span. You can understand what’s going on faster.
The Rhodiola helps here too by giving you a more positive attitude. You really notice the difference.
Reasons Why Mind Lab Pro is the best nootropic:
#1. It’s has the best nutrient profile we’ve seen in a nootropic stack.
#2. There’s a 30 day guarantee.

Mind Lab Pro Review Conclusion – Is it effective?
As of writing this, we’ve yet to see a better nootropic out there than Mind Lab Pro.
I use it every day, and continue to re-order every time I start to run low.
It has everything you’re looking for in an effective nootropic stack. All the ingredients are clinically backed – and the stack itself is supported by a 30 guarantee. Which allows you to be completely covered.
If you’ve tried other nootropics before, or are looking to start to taking them – there’s nothing out there close to what Mind Lab Pro delivers.

Hi. I am looking for a brain booster and I came across your site but I have a question though. I had a surgery last Friday (gall bladder removal) and of course they gave me general anesthesia which I know will make me forget things, will It be safe for me to take this supplement after my surgery? Thank you.
Hi JD,
As always, with special circumstances like this we suggest that you double-check with your physician first.
From our standpoint though, we can’t see you running into any issues. This is the most natural nootropic we’ve come across – even the capsules themselves are made from plant derivatives.
You shouldn’t run into any issues – but again, we do recommend consulting with a medical professional first.
Thanks for getting in touch!
