The world around us moves at a faster pace every day; Keeping up with family, friends, work and even our hobbies of choice takes a major cognitive toll on our system, and while the search for performance enhancing products has been around since the dawn of our time, very few options provide safe, sustainable and reliable solutions to our energy deficit.
If you ever watched “Limitless”, the 2011 film starring Bradley Cooper, chances are you are already familiar with nootropics and brain-boosting energy supplements. Most people who saw that movie tuned to search engines and nutrition shops in the quest to find the silver bullet that would provide a seemingly super-human level of focus and energy; However, people quickly realized there was no such product to be found.
While many products out there are known to offer certain benefits, most of them also lack important aspects of what consumers are looking for; Enter NAPJITSU – a brand that is quickly revolutionizing a market that had been stagnant for a long time.
The “magic” behind their patent-pending technology can be summarized as follows: our brain and body require sleep in order to function properly, but most of us are leading incredibly busy lives and pushing ourselves to perform at the highest level, even when we haven´t rested as much as we need to. Thanks to a powerful compound that includes vitamins, amino acids, herbs and mushrooms, NAPJITSU is on a mission to become the modern overachiever´s secret weapon.
Regardless of whether you´re gaming, trading, working or just have a night out with the in-laws scheduled (yes, we feel you!), products like NOW, NAP and REST promise to equip you with the energy and focus you need to get you over the finish line, without making you feel groggy or jittery.
Laura Brooks and her team at NAPJITSU recently granted us an interview, here´s what they had to say:
What is the secret behind NAPJITSU´s superior patent pending proprietary blend?
We leverage sleep science to enhance the rest you get and to mimic the effects of rest when you don’t have time to slow down. NOW has 13 nootropics and NAP has 29 nootropics to provide a well-rounded, robust cognitive boost. It’s so much more than energy — it’s energy plus creativity, alertness, focus, and memory. Paired with caffeine — especially time-released caffeine — our nootropic stacks are super effective (2x as effective as coffee) at unlocking energy and better performance. Both NOW and NAP are patent-pending for their innovative nootropic stacks, and our consumer studies show they unlock more than 5 hours of steady focus and energy.
Please share with our readers the inspiration behind the brand and its product selection.
We wanted to create a better form of energy that’s natural, non-habit-forming and effective. We were over sugary energy drinks, we had become practically addicted to coffee, and we knew there has to be a better way to break the cycle of fatigue. We did a ton of research and discovered the myriad benefits of the power nap and the caffeine nap, as evidenced by studies in Japan and by NASA, and we decided to one-up the caffeine nap with a bunch of other nootropics. We like to think of it as empowering your power nap even more.
What are the main differences between NOW, NAP and REST and how can I know which one suits me best?
It’s a great question — there’s a NAPJITSU for every situation. NOW is for instant energy — those time when you might otherwise reach for coffee or an energy drink. It has time-released caffeine (equivalent to 1.5 cups of coffee) and 12 other nootropics to sharpen your brain and bring your mind into focus. NAP is for power naps — but it turns out you don’t actually need to fall asleep to reap the benefits of a “nap,” which is great news for all those people who say they’re “not nappers.” The idea with NAP is that the nootropics recharge your brain while you lay down, and then the caffeine hits around 30 min in (the ideal nap length), so you wake up and you’re ready to go, without feeling foggy. I swear it works. And REST is for longer stretches of sleep — it has zero caffeine but 1850 mg nootropics, which help you relax into sleep and give your brain a bunch of juicy benefits so you wake up feeling refreshed and recharged. I love REST for flights and for those middle-of-the-night wakeups. And as I said, there are more products coming soon!
