What Is Alpha Brain
Welcome to Moddose,
We are all about staying younger for longer. And if that means taking supplements every day, so be it.
Alpha Brain is a Nootropic made famous by Joe Rogan, a part-owner of Onnit, the maker of Alpha Brain. Some like to compare Alpha Brain to other Nootropics like Modafinil, which is a fair comparison.
I prefer to use both, but more about that later! Alpha Brain is a supplement that improves Cognitive Functions like memory, verbal recall, and focus!
Three significant benefits of Alpha Brain are its Caffeine and Gluten-Free and Keto friendly. What I like about Alpha Brain is it’s made from natural products.
Two tablets of Alpha Brain should be taken with a light meal daily.

How Long Does Alpha Brain Last
You can expect Alpha Brain to last a minimum of 6 hours. Unlike Modafinil, I find Alpha Brain improves my verbal recall, available memory, and mental processing the more I use it.
With Modafinil, it’s a 30min delayed onset, then I’m super focused and vigilant, which is why I use both, but not at the same. I make regular changes between the two—3 or 4 months duration before swapping.

Alpha Brain Evidence
Back in 2016, Alpha BRAIN® underwent a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group efficacy study.
The study aimed to see if this self-described cognitive enhancing nootropic would work in a group of healthy adults. Sixty-three people between 18 and 35 completed a 2-week placebo run before taking Alpha BRAIN® or a new placebo for six weeks.
The healthy adults underwent neuropsychological tests and had their sleep measured.
Results: Original Study can be found here.
Compared with placebo, “Alpha BRAIN® significantly improved on tasks of delayed verbal recall and executive functioning.”
Conclusion:
“The use of Alpha BRAIN® for six weeks significantly improved recent verbal memory when compared with controls, in a group of healthy adults.”
What Does Alpha Brain Feel Like?
The best way to describe the feeling is to compare it to a flow-like state, where things I’m thinking come out of my mouth in the right way. Alpha BRAIN® minimizes the times I forget what I was talking about. That doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it isn’t enjoyable.
It’s very similar to Modafinil, but I get no rush, just a better working and clear brain, no brain fog or stumbles in my speech. I can work for longer and focus intensely on whatever I’m working on at the time.
It’s not mentioned in the advertising, but I eat less. But maybe that’s because I’m so focused on what I’m doing I simply forget to eat.
Alpha Brain Side Effects
Some unlikely side effects are headaches, jitters, lucid dreaming, and nausea.
- Headaches, likely cause is dehydration. Stay well hydrated when using it.
- Jitters usually felt the first few times you use it; they seem to settle down for most people after that.
- Lucid Dreaming, I don’t usually dream much at all, well I don’t remember anything from them is a better way to put it. But when I’m taking Alpha Brain, my dreams are easy to remember, not 100% clear like some, but I can recall parts clearly for sure.
- Nausea, I have never suffered from sickness on Alpha Brain. But the odd person here and there might.

Summary
There are several things we can do for our brains for free to make them work better. Before we start using Nootropics or supercharging our brains, we can do them at the same time.
From the Will Power Instinct book by KELLY McGonigal.
Four keys to a better brain, in order.
- Get Enough Sleep,
- Meditate,
- Exercise,
- And eat healthily.
It is beyond the scope of this blog to go into more details about the four keys individually. But I will say they work; I’m living proof of that!
Happy Day’s
