✓ About 88% cheaper than Alpha Brain — same actives, full doses

Onnit's Alpha Brain locks its actives inside "Focus" and "Flow" proprietary blends, so you can't see how little you're getting — and what shows through is underdosed. This stack is the three recognizable focus actives at their full studied doses: alpha-GPC for choline, L-tyrosine for focus under stress, and L-theanine for calm, jitter-free attention. Same job, no mystery blend, a fraction of the price.
