May is Mental Health Month — and there’s never been a better time to talk about the brain, stress, and what you can do to support your mental well-being from the inside out.

We know that stress, anxiety, brain fog, and burnout are more common than ever. That’s why I (Dr. McNamara 👋) wanted to highlight four of my favorite, science-backed supplements for supporting mental clarity, mood balance, and overall stress resilience.

These aren’t trendy quick fixes. They’re professional-grade formulas backed by research and used in clinical settings to support cognitive and emotional health. Let’s dive in.

1. 🧠 BrainSustain™ – Fuel for Your Brain Cells

What it is:BrainSustain™ is built on over 30 years of neuroscience research and designed to fuel your brain's mitochondria — the powerhouses of your neurons.

Key Ingredients:

• Acetyl-L-Carnitine

• CoQ10

• N-Acetylcysteine

• Alpha-Lipoic Acid

• Sulforaphane (from broccoli seed)

How it helps:These ingredients work together to boost mental energy, combat oxidative stress, and protect neurons from damage. If you're mentally exhausted, burned out, or under heavy cognitive load, this is your foundational support.

✅ Great for students, professionals, or anyone with long days and big decisions.

2. ⚡ Cogniquil® – Clarity, Focus & Motivation Without the Crash

What it is:Cogniquil® is a stimulant-free formula that enhances mental energy, motivation, and focus — without spiking your nervous system.

Key Ingredients:

• Magtein® (Magnesium L-Threonate) – the only magnesium that crosses the blood-brain barrier

• TeaCrine® (Theacrine) – clean mental energy without habituation

• Methylcobalamin (active B12) – supports nerve and neurotransmitter health

How it helps:Cogniquil® supports synaptic plasticity, neurotransmitter production, and sustainable mental stamina — making it ideal for long workdays, high-focus tasks, or bouncing back after burnout.

✅ Perfect for professionals, creatives, and anyone who wants a cognitive edge without overstimulation.

3. 🌙 5-HTP CR – Natural Serotonin Support

What it is:5-HTP CR is a controlled-release version of 5-hydroxytryptophan, the direct precursor to serotonin — the neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, appetite, and sleep.

How it helps:

• Promotes stable serotonin levels

• Supports a balanced mood and emotional resilience

• Improves sleep quality and appetite regulation

Because it's slow-releasing, it avoids the ups and downs that can come with fast-acting formulas. If stress is affecting your sleep or mood, this may be the missing link.

✅ Best used in the evening or during times of emotional overwhelm.

4. 🛌 OptiMag® Neuro – Brain-Ready Magnesium for Calm & Sleep

What it is:OptiMag® Neuro combines multiple forms of bioavailable magnesium, including Magtein®, to support both brain health and whole-body relaxation.

Why magnesium?Magnesium is burned quickly during stress, and low levels have been linked to:

• Poor sleep

• Increased anxiety

• Reduced cognitive function

OptiMag® Neuro is uniquely designed to replenish brain magnesium levels — improving memory, calm, and sleep quality.

✅ Use before bed or after high-stress days to promote recovery and resilience.
