The Formula
What's Inside And Why It Matters
Every ingredient in PeakMind Edge was chosen for a specific reason. No filler. No proprietary blends. No mystery doses. Here's the full breakdown.
Ashwagandha KSM-66
Full-Spectrum Root Extract • Withania Somnifera
Why This Exact Extract
We chose KSM-66 over generic ashwagandha because it's the most clinically studied ashwagandha extract in the world — backed by over 24 clinical trials. It uses a full-spectrum root-only extraction process with no chemical solvents, preserving the highest concentration of active withanolides. Generic ashwagandha varies wildly in potency. KSM-66 is standardized, consistent, and proven.
Benefit Breakdown
What The Research Shows
- Reduced serum cortisol by up to 27.9% compared to 7.9% in placebo group in a randomized, double-blind trial
- 400mg/day significantly reduced stress and anxiety assessment scores vs placebo
- Improved executive function, immediate memory, information processing speed, and concentration
- 12-month safety study showed no adverse effects on liver, kidney, or thyroid function
Holy Basil
Ocimum Tenuiflorum • Tulsi Leaf Extract
Why This Exact Extract
We paired Holy Basil with KSM-66 because it attacks cortisol through a completely different biochemical pathway. While ashwagandha modulates the HPA axis, Holy Basil works through its unique compounds — ocimumosides A and B — which lower blood corticosterone and alter neurotransmitter levels directly. Two mechanisms hitting the same target means a stronger stress response than either alone.
Benefit Breakdown
What The Research Shows
- Subjects taking Tulsi extract experienced a 36% decrease in cortisol levels with improvements in mood, energy, and sleep
- 500mg twice daily significantly improved anxiety, stress, and mood scores in a clinical trial
- Reduced forgetfulness, exhaustion, and sleep problems in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial
- Normalizes blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid levels through metabolic stress reduction
L-Theanine
Amino Acid • Naturally Found in Green Tea
Why This Exact Extract
L-Theanine is the reason green tea gives you calm focus instead of jittery energy. It's the only amino acid clinically shown to increase alpha brainwave activity — the same brainwave state associated with meditation, flow, and deep focus. We chose it over other nootropics because it works within 30 minutes, has zero tolerance buildup, and creates relaxed alertness without any sedation.
Benefit Breakdown
What The Research Shows
- Significantly increased frontal region and whole-scalp alpha brainwave power in a triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial
- A single 200mg dose reduced susceptibility to distraction and improved selective attention in healthy adults
- Significantly decreased perceived stress and improved cognitive attention across multiple clinical studies
- Lowered salivary cortisol and self-reported anxiety in response to acute stress challenges
Magnesium Glycinate
Chelated Magnesium • Bisglycinate Form
Why This Exact Form
There are over 10 forms of magnesium — most of them cheap and poorly absorbed. We chose Magnesium Glycinate (bisglycinate) specifically because it's chelated to the amino acid glycine, giving it superior bioavailability with zero GI distress. Oxide causes bloating. Citrate is a laxative. Glycinate absorbs clean and crosses the blood-brain barrier efficiently, which is exactly where we need it working.
Benefit Breakdown
What The Research Shows
- Potentiates GABA-A receptor activity — your brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter that slows racing thoughts
- Supplementation increased sleep time, sleep efficiency, and melatonin levels while decreasing cortisol
- Reduced insomnia severity significantly, with most improvements within the first two weeks
- Glycinate form neutralizes the midnight cortisol spike that prevents deep REM sleep
Panax Ginseng (5% Ginsenosides)
Standardized 5% Ginsenosides • Root Extract
Why This Exact Extract
Not all ginseng is the same. We chose Panax Ginseng standardized to 5% ginsenosides because it delivers a higher concentration of the active compounds that drive real results. Ginsenosides are the bioactive molecules responsible for ginseng's cognitive and energy benefits — and at 5%, every capsule delivers a potent, consistent dose. Generic ginseng extracts are unstandardized and unreliable. This is pharmaceutical-grade consistency.
Benefit Breakdown
What The Research Shows
- Panax Ginseng supplementation significantly improved sustained energy levels and reduced fatigue across multiple clinical trials
- Single dose improved working memory performance and subjective ratings of calmness in healthy young adults
- Reduced blood glucose levels and improved cognitive performance during sustained mental activity
- Decades of clinical research confirming safety and efficacy for cognitive and physical performance
Rhodiola Rosea
Standardized Root Extract • 3% Rosavins / 1% Salidroside
Why This Exact Extract
Rhodiola is the only ingredient in the formula that gets stronger over time. We standardized to the clinical ratio of 3% rosavins and 1% salidroside because that's the exact ratio used in the studies that proved its adaptogenic effects. Rosavins normalize your stress response at the hormonal level. Salidroside provides neuroprotective and antioxidant effects. This ratio is the gold standard — and we matched it exactly.
Benefit Breakdown
What The Research Shows
- Approved by the European Medicines Agency as an adaptogen for temporary relief of stress symptoms including fatigue
- Improved mental performance and attention after both single and repeated administration
- Modulates the HPA axis while boosting energy metabolism through ATP synthesis in mitochondria
- Prevented physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion in patients with fatigue syndrome
Every Milligram Is There For A Reason
No proprietary blends hiding underdosed ingredients. No fairy-dusted compounds. Every dose in PeakMind Edge matches or exceeds what was used in the clinical research. You see exactly what you're taking and exactly how much.
