General Product Info
I should start by saying I have tried Genius Plus Nootropics before. I tried their balance and focus products (back in February 2020). I gave them 2 and 3 stars, respectfully. However, those were sold to me in bottles, not in “4 cap packs.” So I decided to give them another shot. Plus, I had not tried their energy product yet. The ingredients are a bit odd for energy. The ingredient that stands out the most is kanna. Kanna is typically not used for energy but for its more sedative-like properties. Lion’s Mane is sometimes included in energy but is more of a focus nootropic. Caffeine anhydrous is not the best ingredient to include in any supplement. It is highly regulated and notoriously bad for the body. Not to mention the crash that typically results from caffeine highs. Some additional ingredients include L-Tyrosine, Higenamine HCL, isopropylnorsynephrine, and bioperine.
Product Administration
The package is pretty cool, but not easily resealable. I had to use a rubber band, although I did consume the entire 4 capsules within 1 hour. To be clear: the suggested serving size is 1 capsule. I consumed 1 glass of water and a couple slices of buttered toast before I ingested the pills. The back of the label states the product is made for individuals of at least 18 years old, who are not nursing or pregnant. There are a few other typical disclaimers, likely due to the caffeine anhydrous.
Product Effects
I expected a lot more from this product. I expected it to be stronger, I expected it to provide more powerful energy or focus. I did not receive much concentration, and what I did experience is likely from the caffeine. The caffeine opened the door to a major crash which occurred only 30 minutes after taking the pills. I would say the energy lasted about 15 minutes. I did not get jitters, which was one of the only positive facets of this product. Though, I did not purchase this to purely avoid the jitters.
Final Thoughts
The front of the package promotes this as an “advanced nootropics formula,” however, as other, more powerful nootropic products have shown us, it is not necessarily about a long list of ingredients, but higher quality ingredients. The label also states it promotes extreme power and stamina. Unfortunately, I did not experience either of these values from taking Genius Plus Energy Nootropics. I was somewhat let down by this product and feel they may have chosen the wrong ingredients to promote energy and endurance. They probably skimped on higher quality ingredients. There are several other nootropic supplements out there which provide far more energy and no crash. In fact, I believe a large part of the ineffectiveness of this supplement is due to the low cost. I can only give this Genius+ product a 2 Star Fat Sammy Rating.
