Key Takeaways

  1. We approach product formulation with a blend of careful scientific review and real-world practicality.
  2. Our goal is not to cut corners, but to ensure every ingredient and dosage is effective, safe, and necessary.
  3. We prioritize clarity over gimmicks: no hidden blends, no fluff—just straightforward, evidence-based formulas.

The Science (Don’t Worry, We’ll Keep It Simple)

We know what you’re thinking:

“Every supplement company says their formulas are backed by science.” 

The problem?


In this industry, “science-backed” can mean almost anything — from a single animal study to a tiny, manufacturer-funded trial.

 

That’s not good enough for us.

Here’s how we do things differently.

Our Research Process

We do things the hard way.

 

For every ingredient we consider, we track down all the research.

The good, the bad, and the inconclusive.

 

Then we filter it through a strict checklist to see if it’s truly worth your time and money:

 

  • Human trials are best. That means you aren’t paying for something that only works in mice. This is what we mean when we say “clinically studied.”

  • Credible studies. Translation: no
    cherry-picked, company-funded reports. We look for peer-reviewed research designed the right way, so you can trust the results.

  • Meaningful results. Benefits must be strong enough to matter in real life, not just a tiny change in a lab number.

  • Safety first. We make sure no serious side effects have been reported at the doses we use.

  • The full weight of evidence. Positive studies must clearly outweigh mixed or negative results.

 

If an ingredient can’t pass every test on that list, it doesn’t make the cut.

What “Evidence-Based” Means

To us, evidence-based means the ingredients, forms, and doses we use are chosen from the best available human research, then cross-checked for safety, interactions, and real-world practicality. It means we weigh the entirety of evidence, not just a single headline.

What You See is What You Get

We don’t hide behind proprietary blends that lump ingredients together so you can’t tell how much you’re getting.

Our labels list the exact amount of every ingredient, so you know exactly what you’re putting in your body, because results depend on amounts. 

We also avoid:

  • Flashy “miracle” compounds with no credible track record.
  • Ingredients dosed too low to actually work (“fairy dusting”).
  • Poorly absorbed forms that your body can’t use well.

Why a Pharmacist’s Lens Matters

Most supplement brands are built by marketers.

 

Stay Sharp is built by a pharmacist.

 

That means:

  • Safety comes first. We think about side effects, interactions, and proper dosing.
  • Labels are transparent. No hidden formulas.

Everything is manufactured in a cGMP-compliant, FDA-registered facility and tested for quality.

 

You don’t have to wonder if the product matches the promise. We make sure it does.

Quality and Safety

We use only premium forms of our ingredients.

 

Simply put, better ingredient forms are more effective.

And when they perform better, your brain and body perform better.

So we choose them even when they cost us more. 

 

  • For B vitamins we use the active forms like P-5-P(B6), 5-MTHF (folate), and methylcobalamin (B12) to ensure maximum effect. Not the cheap versions.

  • The vitamin K we chose, the MK-7 form of K2, is shown to better guide calcium where it belongs — into your bones and teeth, not your arteries.

  • Our gentle magnesium citrate is easier on the stomach and better utilized than the commonly used oxide.

 

You work hard to stay healthy. Your supplements should work hard too.

 

In addition, each batch is tested to confirm:

 

  • Purity - no unwanted fillers or contaminants
  • Potency - you get the exact dose on the label
  • Safety - free from heavy metals, harmful microbes, etc.

No Magic Pills — Just Real Support

Supplements alone aren’t a cure-all for memory loss or dementia prevention, and we’ll never pretend they are.

Your risk is shaped by many factors: diet, exercise, sleep, chronic condition management, and more.

 

But the right supplements — taken consistently and in the right doses — can support and amplify your healthy lifestyle.

 

That’s why we make ours with the highest-quality, most-proven ingredients possible.

 

No mystery blends. No celebrity scripts. Just pharmacist-crafted formulas you—and your doctor—can evaluate.

The Bottom Line:

We’re here to cut through the marketing noise, the miracle-cure headlines, and the half-measures that dominate the supplement industry.

 

We’re here to help you be confident you’re supporting your cognitive health every single day.

 

You shouldn’t have to guess which products will actually work. The science speaks for itself.

 

If it’s in a Stay Sharp product, it’s there because it works, it’s safe, and it’s worth your trust.

 

Brain health doesn’t have to be a guessing game. Begin today with Stay Sharp.
