Travel Town Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Complete More Levels and Rebuild the Entire City

By: Author Barbara Craig

Posted on Last updated: April 6, 2022

Travel Town is a match and merge puzzle game developed by Magmatic Games, and it’s currently available on iOS and Android platforms. On top of the beautiful sharp graphics and matching sounds, Travel Town comes with an addictive gameplay, that fans of the genre will certainly enjoy.

To get you started on the right foot, we have put together a comprehensive Travel Town beginner’s guide . We will start this guide with explaining the basic mechanics and continue with effective strategies to advance quickly in the game, rebuild the city and help your neighbours. Of course, without forgetting to enjoy the thrill of finding new and better objects as you go merging.

Travel Town is visually similar and has the same mechanics as Merge Mansion , a game that we have covered before here at Level Winner. So if you had the pleasure of playing that game, then you probably won’t have any major problems going through Travel Town.

The game takes place in Travel Town, a beautiful seaside that was ravaged away by a storm. Your main objective is to restore it and help your neighbours who were left with nothing. Meanwhile, you discover new objects. The mechanics of the game consists of mixing matching objects to get better and better objects. You can sell these objects to your neighbours who in exchange will give you smileys among other rewards. Smileys are the in-game currencies in Travel Town, and you will use them to rebuild the town. To start to play you need to use energy. At the beginning you have 100 units of energy in the form of lightning and you must use it wisely to advance levels. But be careful, in between you must pay attention to how you organize yourself. Here I will share with you several tips and strategies to be able to advance quickly in Travel Town.

1. Starting From Scratch And Cleaning Your Place

At first, you will start with little free space to merge. Not only that, but you will also find spaces blocked by objects covered in sand. Do not worry that this is momentary and here you will see how to proceed to optimize your space.

These grey objects that you find buried in the sand have to be removed with a matching item. To do this you must take objects out of the bucket and mix until you get the one you are looking for.

Now you may ask: How do I know what I need to mix to get what I’m looking for? Well, at first you will not have major difficulties. Keep looking, you’re on the right track. Once you achieve to unlock the space you will have a little bit more room and be more comfortable.

Pay attention not to miss the opportunity to unlock a space if you have the same item. As you advance in level, more spaces will be freed up to work and you will be able to have a greater variety of objects. You will also be able to see stars with numbers drawn on the sand, these numbers indicate at what level that space is unlocked. But you may have to dig up some grey object from that new place. When the neighbours see what you achieve on the beach, they will add you to the chat group.

There you can keep up-to-date with everything they would like to improve about the city, as well as read pretty funny things apart from the fact that they don’t stop talking in that group.

2. Stay Organized And Save Space

Maintaining order in Travel Town can be crucial and makes the difference between an average player and a pro player. Maintaining order in the first levels is not something very difficult to achieve, since you will only have a couple of objects on the playground. But what happens as you go forward? As you advance in the game you will have a greater variety of objects at your disposal.

Not only that, but you will also have to achieve more complex objects and you will have the board with half-jobs distributed everywhere. So how can you improve this situation?

A good option is to organize them by type , this way you will have more ease when searching for a particular object. For example, you can group the objects that come out of the bucket in one corner, the objects that come out of the picnic basket in another corner, and so on. You can also save space by gathering all the same items , so you will have more free places.

Another option is to keep rare items, that you are not going to use for the time being, in the inventory. What happens if you follow the previous steps and still fill the sandbox with things? Can’t you keep mixing? Okay, do not worry! In this case, you have two options, one is to sell the objects in exchange for smileys, touching the object you want to sell and then below the currency symbol you can make the sale in exchange for smileys.

Some lower-tier items you will not be able to sell but if you need the space urgently you can remove them. You select the object first and then down in the garbage can. Throwing out the items does not benefit you since the sale value is not as good as the value for which the neighbours pay, but it’s still something. That’s why you have to try not to get to this point.

The inventory will also be enabled, where you can initially store up to 7 objects. You can unlock more slots in exchange for diamonds.

3. Keep Your Neighbours Happy And Successfully Deliver Orders

The neighbours seem to love the items you manage to get from the sand. That’s why they will be constantly requesting new items. Before starting to create an order object, you should review all the orders you have.

This way, you avoid making a very complicated request when you have an object that’s almost ready on your board. Sometimes the commands are very simple, but other times they are a bit more difficult. There may be unique objects , which you will have to find out where or how to get them. It may also be that you order 2 or 3 objects together.

And you have to get them all, they don’t take half orders. This may seem difficult, but as the game progresses you will become a master at delivering double or triple commands. I recommend that you try to start with the most difficult of the 2 items. When you get this object it will turn green, this way it is very easy to identify them and you will know that you have to deliver it.

An ideal scenario is that you group the objects in green in some sectors of the board where you do not move the items much. This is so that you don’t keep mixing it with the same item and you lose the needed level. So you will leave it waiting until you get the others.

Why shouldn’t you overdo the level? If you build higher-level objects, you will spend more energy and later you will not be able to sell them and they will take up space. Also, you will have to start from scratch to build it again and deliver it, since you cannot go back. For example: if a neighbour asks you for a Nautilus shell but you continue mixing until you reach a starfish, then you will not be able to go back and you will have to wait for someone to ask you for that object.

Another thing that can happen is that you see some requests in grey: when you see this, if you try to open it, it will tell you that you have to go up to the next level to be able to take that order. So first you must level up completing other orders and then you will see what the order is about.

4. Start Little By Little To Buy Buildings And Reform Them

As we mentioned before, smileys are the in-game currencies. You can spend smileys on keys, so you can rebuild the buildings of Travel Town. You have several options to get smileys:

Fulfilling the requests of the neighbours: You will constantly have orders to deliver. Although, some objects will not give you many smileys in return. Some neighbours are willing to pay fortunes for rare objects. But yes, you have to know how to find them.

Mixing certain objects: There are some objects such as photos or jewels that, when merged, may reward you smileys. You’ll notice because they will fly on the board, so don’t forget to collect them!

Buying smileys in the store: Some days there are available smileys in the store for purchase. It’s a lazy option and you must pay with diamonds in exchange if you do not want to merge.

Selling objects: Another good option is to sell some items that you have left and that you think you will not need. Once you sell an item, you will see how many smileys you got for that item in return.

Hmm… did you regret selling it? After the sale, you can recover the item by going down where it says undo selling and select the circular arrow. But be careful, once you select something else on the screen, the option to have the object returned to you will disappear.

Opening chests: The majority of the chests have smileys as a reward, and you will be able to get many out of them. But of course, getting chests is not easy. You will have to fulfil orders, level up or rebuild buildings to get them. Once you get the necessary resources you can start upgrading the city. Keep in mind that in this case, you are going to need a pile of wood planks as well as smileys. Later in this guide, we will explain how to get the materials.

5. Squeeze The Juice Out Of Your Resources

The items that allow you to advance in the game faster are the following 3. Don’t forget to take care of your resources because they are the key to success in Travel Town.

Smileys: You need to get the maximum number of smileys to be able to pay for the key to the land that you are acquiring and also for the restorations. Doing this will give you experience points and you will advance in level.

That’s why every time a face item appears on the board, it is recommended not to sell it immediately and keep them in the inventory to mix them and reach the maximum level. This way, you can obtain greater benefits than selling them one by one.

For example: If you only have one smiley and you sell it, they will give you 1 in exchange, but if you have 2, they will give you 3, if you have 4 they will give you 7, if you mix 8 they will give you 15, and if you reach the maximum level of the item (level 5) which is 16 will give you 32 smileys. This is a lot of difference to make if you are patient and wait until you have the maximum level before selling it.

Energies: the energies will allow you to continue loading objects on the board, they renew themselves from time to time, but, indeed, they are also spent quickly when you need to deliver an object. That’s why every time an energy item appears, like the smileys, it is recommended to keep them in the inventory to mix them and reach the maximum level. This way you can get more benefit from it, for an energy item at the maximum level, you will get 100 units of energy.

A tip to get more energy is to take a good look at the sign that appears when you run out, since sometimes to the right of the option to pay with diamonds it gives you the option to see a commercial in exchange for 25 energy.

And because they are short commercials, I think it’s worth watching the commercial instead of spending diamonds on energy.

Diamonds: Diamonds are definitely the most precious and that’s why you have to avoid wasting them. In Travel Town, you can use it for almost everything. For example, you can skip the waiting time of some items with diamonds, but is it worth it? Perhaps, you can be patient with the wait and use the diamonds to exchange them for space in the inventory or get energy at good prices.

Check the offers daily, there are days that for a few diamonds you can get energy packages or chests. And just like energies and smileys, diamonds can be pooled together to make the most profit from selling them. Don’t forget that every time you discover a new item, it will appear in the collection book as a gift.

You must open it and inside it, you will find a diamond. So every day at the end of playing you can go to the book to continue completing the collections.

6. Permanent Objects

Permanent objects are those from which you can obtain objects in exchange for energy. These objects cannot be sold and you can take them to their maximum level. The higher its level, the better objects you will obtain from it. Keep in mind that of the objects that you can get from inside in exchange for energy, you will not be able to select them since it will give you a random object. Permanent items have a cooldown time that depends on the item.

As much as you have energy, you will not be able to remove objects infinitely. When the inside is finished, a clock will appear indicating how long you must wait until you can get objects again. There are times when you will be lucky and it will give you some higher-level item. Here are some permanent items that you will find in the first levels: Beach Bucket: This is the first permanent item that you get in the game. It is formed from buckets and you can take it to the maximum level, which is 9. From here you can obtain pebbles, stones, sandcastles and seashells, among others. When it is at its maximum level you will be able to obtain the mysterious letter from here but to be honest it will not be easy to obtain one.

With the objects that come out of the bucket, you can complete the Shells and the Sand Castles book collection. Picnic Basket: This basket, like the bucket, is one of the first permanent items that you obtain and that requires energy to deliver objects.

From here you can obtain spoons, olives among others. And you will be able to complete the Picnic Food series and the Cutlery Tools series. Jewellery display: When you take the jewellery display to level 4 you will have a jewellery box. It is a permanent item which means that it will remain on the board forever, not only will you be able to create beautiful jewels with what is inside it but it also has a particularity.

It is that this jewellery box does not use energy to generate objects! Which means that you will have endless items? Well, yes and no, because if it has a cooldown time. You can place the jewellery box in the middle of the board and you can see how the objects jump out.

In case you have a full workspace, I recommend that you keep the jewellery box surrounded by items. This way, neither of the will pop from inside, occupying the place you need on the board.

Once they stop coming out, you will have to wait for the recharge time to expire. If you need to make a jewel and you don’t want to wait for the recharge time, you can also use diamonds to skip the time. A trick for when they give you a reward jewellery box and you have one on the board: first you empty the one you have on the board until the clock mark appears indicating that you have to wait.

Next step, you lower the new jewel box to the board and empty it too. Once the 2 are with the cooldown clock, you merge them. This will not only give you a higher tier jewel box but also resets the time so you can empty it for the third time. 

7. Reward Items

Crates: Crates have 5 levels. Inside the crates, you can get smileys or  diamonds. When you get one, either for a level-up reward or for having completed a level. You can open it or you can also save it and wait till get one of the same level to be able to merge them.

Whichever option you choose, when you want to open it you have to select them and choose the option to open there will tell you how long you have to wait. The higher the level of the crate, the greater the rewards, but also the longer it will take to open.

Energy crate: The crates contain only energy inside so nothing that comes out of it can surprise you. They are usually achieved by levelling up or completing an order. These crates cannot be levelled up as they are at their maximum level when they appear. Toolbox: Toolboxes are boxes full of tools where you can find everything from screws and wood to cement and bricks for construction. They are crucial for building upgrades. Not only that, but they are quite difficult to get, usually given to you as a reward for hard-to-complete orders.

So I recommend that you keep everything that comes out of the toolbox well until you can get the maximum level of each item. So when you manage to build, for example, a brick wall or a concrete mixer, it will be kept in the inventory until you use it in some upgrade.

These tool items will be saved in the second tab of the inventory. So you should not worry about them taking up space. You can go check what materials you have stored at any time.

8. Special Items Are Difficult To Get

Joker: The jokers are rarer items than diamonds. And they have the peculiarity of being able to duplicate any common object you have in the playground. If you’re lucky enough to get one, I don’t recommend using it to combine with a pebble.

Save it or use it to combine with an object that has a very high tier level. This way you will save a lot of time. You also have the option to buy it in the store in exchange for diamonds. So it would be a good purchase. Bubbled items: Bubbled items are items that appear inside a bubble when you are creating an object. These objects are trapped and you will not be able to use them unless you pay their reward in diamonds. Its price varies depending on the difficulty of the item. It may be that you are not interested in taking out of the bubble in exchange for some diamonds. But as soon as an item that you need appears, this may be worth spending diamonds on.

Be aware, you cannot doubt it for a long time since the bubble will disappear in a short time. Don’t worry if you decide not to pay with diamonds, the bubbles always leave you something in return, which can be a smiley, energy or even a diamond.

Mysterious letter: Just as its name says, this letter is mysterious, it is rumoured that it has a map inside and that it takes you to some hidden place in Travel Adventure, have you got it yet? Do not worry that as the levels progress they will come to your hands. As a suggestion, you should start by getting letters out of the bucket. Mysterious fossil: If there was something more mysterious than the mysterious letter, it is surely this fossil. It is much more difficult to get, but believe me, it has a very good reward.

9. Take Part In Special Events

Do not forget to complete the special events, they are a good opportunity to gather resources. Daily challenge: It is a daily event that will appear as an order on the top right and when you open it you will be able to see the tasks to complete. This order, unlike the others, has a time limit that you cannot exceed. You can see the time remaining from the order or when opening it as well.

You can also see the counter, for example, if it says 0/3, it means that you have 0 tasks performed out of 3. As you complete them, it will indicate 1/3, 2/3, and so on until it reaches 3/3. Completing it will give you the reward indicated in the order. Wildlife sanctuary: it is a special event to which you are going to be invited to travel to the jungle. Precisely to a sanctuary, where you can feed and rescue tigers, cut dry or fallen trees, and plant new and healthy ones.

During our stay in the sanctuary, you have to try to complete as many requests as possible. Here there are no smileys as a reward for orders. But in exchange for completing an order, they will give you a paw token.

As you collect the paws you will advance in level, each time you reach a new level you will need more tokens to complete it. Once the time of the stay finishes, they will give you a diploma with the maximum level you reached and with it the rewards. The levels that you can reach range from level 1 to 8.

In the sanctuary, you will have a different energy, which has the same functionality as in the rest of the game but it is blue. When you run out of energy, you can go out and wait for it to recharge or you can also buy it with diamonds.

You can also collect smileys that will appear from time to time when you mix some items, it may be that smileys appear and you can collect those, a tip to take advantage of here is that if you see that our time in the jungle is running out and they are going to be left items, the ideal is that you can sell them before leave. Because once the time is up you won’t be able to come back for anything from the place.

The mechanic is very similar to what you’ve been doing. Only that here your mission, apart from completing the orders, is to rescue the tigers that are in the jungle. To do this, the first thing you must do is get items from the worker’s hut in exchange for energy. From here you can get tools, seeds and feeding bottles.

How to rescue your first tiger? The tigers are lost in the middle of the jungle but to get to them you must first cut down the fallen trees. You do this by taking some items of tools to the maximum level until you get a chainsaw. With it, you can choose the place to weed. Note that there are two types of trees to cut, one is the dry one that you will have to cut 2 times, so you will need 2 chainsaws.

And the other one is the stump for which you’re going to have to cut only once. Both will give you lodges in return. Once you enter the jungle you will find items in grey covered by the undergrowth, to unlock it you must get a matching item. When you go into the jungle, you may find a baby tiger in grey and to rescue it you will need to have another one. To get one you have to take a feeding bottle to the maximum level, then you double-tap it and a baby tiger will appear.

Once you got the baby tiger now with it, you can rescue the one you found in the jungle.

How do you plant new and healthy trees? Once you were able to remove the dry trees, the idea of ​​the sanctuary is that you reforest it with healthy trees. To do this you must start by mixing the seeds until you bring them to their maximum level. When you manage to have a Sundari tree, it will provide you with seeds and flowers without having to spend energy in return.

As soon as you finish don’t forget to claim your reward.

10. Be Persistent And Be Patient

As you progress in the game, you can achieve more complex items. Or maybe you use up energy faster. But don’t get discouraged, you can close the game and come back when you have full energy. Some items will take a few days to form but in the meantime, you will always have some other easier items to deliver. And when you have a permanent item in cooldown, relax and do other things in Travel Town.

That was our last piece of advice, and with that we conclude our Travel Town beginner’s guide. Hopefully, the tips and tricks we shared in this article will help you to advance in the best way until you complete your collection of objects and restore the city. If you have discovered any other tips or tricks during your gameplay, we would be happy to hear from you! Feel free to drop us a line in the comments below!

Fresh grape juice where can be found?

Once you have the vineyard, you have to merge all the grapes to reach max level, and once you do- you're going to get a Grape Juice Squeezer. After you tap the icon about 4 or 5 times, it will produce the fresh grape juice. It might take a while.

BrainJuice Review – A Healthy, Albeit Pricey Energy Drink Alternative

May 7, 2018 By The Geek 2 Comments

Summary: BrainJuice Review

BrainJuice is a genuinely effective “energy drink” nootropic drink that enhances brainpower while support brain health. Though somewhat pricy, BrainJuice is a decent juice stack for you to take on-the-go or as-needed, especially if you’re needing to break a bad energy drink habit. Focusing on acetylcholine and dopamine, BrainJuice assists with memory and mood, respectively.

• BEST NOOTROPIC SUPPLEMENTS

Unlike Study Juice ,  BrainJuice  is  actual  nootropic juice — yummy, liquidy, berry-y juice. No capsules, no tablets. And, believe it or not, no sugar.

Okay, there’s a little bit of sugar, but only 1 g sugar in the form of granulated coconut nectar. So, if you were expecting one of those sneaky, sugar-filled “healthy energy drink alternative” products here, worry no more: BrainJuice is the real deal.

BrainJuice is a bona fide  healthy energy drink alternative.

But how does it do on the nootropic front? Does it actually enhance cognition, enough to warrant that heavy price tag? Or should you get your brain boosts elsewhere? Let’s read the BrainJuice review to find out.

Page Contents

About BrainJuice

• Created by Sam Elick,  BrainJuice  was originally formulated as a healthy alternative to Sam’s “cycle of bad habits,” which included energy drink consumption.
• BrainJuice relies on cholinergic and dopaminergic acting nootropics to deliver its brain boosting benefits.
• Remember: BrainJuice isn’t just a supplement. It’s actual juice, which may explain the “superfood” berry extracts and powders.

Serving Size : 1 Bottle (2.5 fl oz) Other Ingredients : Purified Water, Organic Granulated Coconut Nectar, Natural Flavors, Monk Fruit Extract, Organic Stevia. Contains: soy (lecithin), tree nuts (coconut) Directions : Drink a shot to turn on your brain and feel uplifted in minutes! Use any time you need a mental or mood boost, or take daily for a cumulative effect. Shake well. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 30 days. Do not use if seal is broken.

BrainJuice  is exactly what it says it is: juice for the brain. And the ingredients it hires for the job are good. Pretty good.  Prettay, prettay,  pretty good… but are they great? Let’s find out.

BrainJuice Review: Ingredients

Before the proprietary Brainpower Blend, BrainJuice supplies the following vitamins:

• Vitamin C  – Powerful antioxidant with numerous health benefits; although, all that essentially matters is that vitamin C may help reduce free radical damage across the brain and body.
• B Vitamins  – Vitamins B5, B6, and B12 for better brain chemical status, mood, and cerebral circulation.  More on B Vitamins.

Due to the proprietary status of the Brainpower Blend, BrainJuice’s individual ingredient dosages are hidden, which is über-doober annoying. With only  1.21 g  set aside for these eight ingredients, I feel BrainJuice is potentially holding back on us in the dosage department. Not that 1.21 g is an egregiously low amount. But, typically, liquid supplements have more space for better dosages than your usual capsule or tablet supps. Even so, let’s check out the ingredients:

Choline (as Alpha-GPC) – Alpha-GPC supplies a high concentration of brain healthy choline, a precursor compound to neurotransmitter acetylcholine and phospholipid phosphatidylcholine. A solid choice for BrainJuice’s lead nootropic.  More on Alpha-GPC.

Green Tea Extract  – Green tea supplies several awesome antioxidants and brain health compounds, yet BrainJuice seems to primarily use this ingredient for its caffeine content, considering that the non-caffeinated BrainJuice’s single difference is in this ingredient’s caffeine status. (The caffeinated option supplies 75 mg green tea caffeine.)  More on Caffeine.

Acetyl L-Carnitine  – BrainJuice lists ALCAR as an acetylcholine-enhancing ingredient. ALCAR is a hugely popular nootropic ingredient, with significant antioxidant- and energy-enhancing potential; yet, research seems to indicate that the average, healthy user may not get much out of this nootropic.  More on ALCAR.

Acerola Cherry Extract  – A key source of vitamin C, acerola cherry seems to deliver the 80 mg vitamin C listed above. Other than that, it’s hard to tell BrainJuice’s full intentions with this one.

N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine  – As a catecholamine precursor, L-tyrosine is an awesome anti-stress, pro-motivation nootropic that helps keep the mind motivated and focused during otherwise high-stress, high-activity conditions. N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is the preferred nootropic form.  More on L-Tyrosine.

Organic Açaí Berry Powder  – Part of BrainJuice’s “superfood” juice appeal, açaí is a trendy, yet healthy antioxidant-rich berry with significant neuroprotective potential.

Organic Blueberry Powder  – More “superfood” berry juice, blueberries supply neuroprotective, neuroregenerative polyphenols, such as resveratrol and pterostilbene. Hard to say the exact value of BrainJuice’s “superfood” berry powders, due to the blend’s proprietary status. But a neat-O addition, nonetheless.  More on Pterostilbene.

L-Theanine  – To offset BrainJuice’s caffeine’s jittery side effects, L-theanine helps keep the mind calm and relaxed without sacrificing any other nootropic’s energy- and focus-enhancing benefits.  More on L-Theanine.

BrainJuice Review: Cholinergic, Dopaminergic Superjuice

According to the BrainJuice website, this nootropic drink focuses primarily on the following “critical neurotransmitters”:

• Acetylcholine  – “for focus, clarity and memory.”
• Dopamine  – “for good mood and motivation.”

And for the most part BrainJuice does a decent job at enhancing these brain chemicals. On the acetylcholine side, we have Alpha-GPC and  maybe  ALCAR. (I say  maybe  as the research isn’t quite there yet on this guy.) And then for dopamine we have N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine and the B vitamins.

And, really, that’s about it.

While the remaining ingredients do have their own brain health benefits, they don’t do much for either acetylcholine or dopamine — or at least they don’t do much  directly . The  L-Theanine + Caffeine  combo supports nootropic brain energy, whereas the “superfood” dietary antioxidants add a brain healthy dose of neuroprotection and neuroregeneration.

Yet, it’s hard to say exactly how valuable these berry powders and extracts are, given that BrainJuice doesn’t give us much info in the dosage department. Additionally, the nootropic compounds in this stack don’t exactly comprise the most unique formula on the 2018 nootropic market.  Many  supplements supply choline, tyrosine, theanine, and ALCAR, and they do so at a much, much cheaper price than what BrainJuice charges.

Perhaps the price is earned by BrainJuice’s juice status: it’s about what you’d expect from a health drink. Yet, compared to other nootropic supplements, BrainJuice seems overhyped and overpriced — even if the ingredients are great for brain health.

• As a healthier energy drink alternative, BrainJuice gets the job done. And it gets the job done with only 1 g of sugar. That’s pretty sweet.
• Acetylcholine and Dopamine — the right brain chemicals to target, if you’re targeting better memory, focus, mood, and motivation.
• Although I don’t know what’s exactly in all of those extracts, BrainJuice’s nootropics are generally high quality and premium-grade.
• Two options: caffeinated and non-caffeinated.
• BrainJuice’s proprietary blend needlessly obscures the ingredient dosage profile. (At least we’re given the caffeine content amount, though.)
• Most “superfood” energy drink alternatives come across as overhyped and overpriced. BrainJuice isn’t much of an exception.
• Many cheaper nootropic supplements supply these same nootropics — and then some — to potentially greater effect and cognitive results.

Both BrainJuice Original and BrainJuice Caffeine Free sell at the same pricing options as listed above (if you buy through the BrainJuice website). On the BrainJuice website, an “original price” of $50 is crossed out next to the $47.88, indicating that what you’re buying here is at a discount… yet, I haven’t seen BrainJuice sold at the “original” $50 price anywhere. Even GNC sells the drinks individually at $3.99, matching that $3.99 per serving. So, ya know… now ya know.

Who Takes BrainJuice?

BrainJuice seems designed for the guilty energy drink lover, who is looking for a cleaner, green energy drink experience. College students may get a kick out of this bad boy. Ditto for the yoga pants-wearing Whole Foods shoppers. However, veteran nootropic users likely won’t find much here for them.

Where to Buy It

You can buy BrainJuice via the BrainJuice website or other various retailers, such as GNC, Amazon, Vitamin Shoppe, and more.

Conclusion: Does BrainJuice Work?

Sure, BrainJuice has an awesome cholinergic nootropic (Alpha GPC), and BrainJuice has an awesome dopaminergic nootropic (N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine). And the antioxidant berry juices and compounds may help enhance the brain’s neuroprotective potential, while the L-theanine + caffeine duo may get the brain pumping  right away.

BrainJuice works. But does this superfood juice work super good?

Maybe? Perhaps there are genuine super-secrets hidden by BrainJuice’s proprietary blend. Yet, my confidence isn’t too high there. Some of the best nootropic supplements today supply these same ingredients — with their dosages disclosed — in 30-day supplies at a much cheaper price per serving.

But, hey, BrainJuice isn’t simply a nootropic stack. It’s  juice ! And it’s a brain-healthy, sugar-free juice; a valuable product for the health conscious energy drink lover. And perhaps that alone is worth the price for you.

BRAINJUICE is a liquid all natural dietary supplement designed to give your brain a boost. In addition to essential vitamins, our BrainPower Blend contains nutrients your brain needs to produce the essential chemical neurotransmitters the brain sends to the body and organs; acetylcholine and dopamine. Acetylcholine provides the support necessary for focus, clarity, and memory. Dopamine contributes to motivation and good mood. BRAINJUICE also contains organic superfoods to provide antioxidants.  BRAINJUICE caffeinated products contain organic Green Tea Leaf caffeine. BRAINJUICE does have decaffeinated products, and also BRAINJUICE KIDS is decaffeinated. BRAINJUICE is flavored naturally and sweetened naturally to provide a great taste along with being effective.

BRAINJUICE also contains organic superfoods such as organic açaí, organic blueberry, acerola cherry, and the highest-quality, all-natural vitamins B5, B6, B12 (methylcobalamin), and C, all in a green tea base for added antioxidants. Naturally sweetened and flavored, BRAINJUICE is as delicious as it is effective.

For most people, the benefits from BRAINJUICE will last six to eight hours. The formula was created to work immediately so you can feel more clear-headed and focused right away. Those who use BRAINJUICE regularly also notice a cumulative benefit with improved brain function and clarity over time.

BRAINJUICE was created to avoid jitters and the sudden crashes that can be the result of high levels of sugars and high doses of caffeine found in many sodas and energy caffeinated beverages. We researched and evaluated each ingredient and then chose them based on their nutritional merit. For most people, the only side effects of BRAINJUICE are improved mood and increased productivity.

The BRAINJUICE Original 2.5 oz and the Daily BrainPower Mix options contain 75 mg of organic Green Tea caffeine, which is the equivalent of about a half cup of coffee. However, the body needs more than caffeine to feel awake. Green tea combined with the vitamins and nutrients in BRAINJUICE help you feel alert, but also focused with a renewed sense of energy to get things accomplished. BRAINJUICE balances our formulas with L-Theanine, a naturally occurring amino acid in green tea known for its calming effect. If you are sensitive to caffeine, our decaffeinated versions are a great option for you. BRAINJUICE decaffeinated products offer the same brain-boosting benefits as the caffeinated products.

BRAINJUICE uses the science of neurotransmitter production and nutrition to develop the BrainPower Blend and vitamins used to give BRAINJUICE its effectiveness. Throughout the day, neurotransmitters are naturally depleted as we concentrate, focus, and go through daily life. Diet, sleep habits, and lifestyle choices may additionally deplete neurotransmitters. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, lack of energy, and more. BRAINJUICE is designed to counteract those effects by using nutrients that repair this depletion of neurotransmitters. BRAINJUICE focuses primarily on replenishing acetylcholine and dopamine. Acetylcholine provides focus, clarity, and memory. Dopamine provides motivation and a good mood. BRAINJUICE is laboratory tested, adapted, and continuously evaluated so you can feel safe and full of promise using it.

BRAINJUICE and the ingredients used in the product do not conduct any testing on animals and does not contain animal derived ingredients. BRAINJUICE is suitable for vegans and a formal vegan certification is currently in progress. 

BRAINJUICE is manufactured in an FDA certified and approved cGMP facility. All ingredients and manufacturing follow 21 CFR Part 111 regulatory requirements.

All nutrients in BRAINJUICE products are independently tested by third party labs. All products are safe and effective. 

BRAINJUICE is not Kosher Certified.

Although BRAINJUICE is a natural dietary supplement. If it is your first time consuming BRAINJUICE, you may decide to start with half a bottle. Our dosage was designed with both your safety and effectiveness in mind. Most people will require the full bottle to feel the effects. If you are on medication or in the care of a physician, it is always best to share with your doctor.

While every person may respond differently, most users notice the benefits within 5 to10 minutes. 

Just twist the top to open, drink, and become more clear and focused. For the BRAINJUICE Daily BrainPower Mix, add one scoop to 8-10 ounces of water, tea, smoothie, or your favorite beverage for an instant boost.

Just like you use food to fuel your body, BRAINJUICE fuels your brain, which is the smartphone to your body.  We tailored BRAINJUICE to provide optimal brain function that can feel different to each person depending on their daily needs and experiences. BRAINJUICE works for everybody, regardless of your job or situation.

No it is not. Energy drinks provide a quick jolt of energy and a spike to your bloodstream, but ultimately leave you feeling depleted both mentally and physically. Energy drinks often have high levels of sugar and caffeine to spike energy, but do not provide nutrition.  BRAINJUICE is not intended to create unhealthy spikes or debilitating crashes to your energy levels. BRAINJUICE has harnessed the power of whole-food nutrition to provide energy and clarity while keeping your health, safety, and productivity intact.  

The wear and tear of daily stresses of life, unhealthy lifestyle, not enough sleep, drug and alcohol use, poor diet, and lack of exercise all cause neurotransmitters to deplete, leaving the brain and body unable to produce neurotransmitters required to juggle the daily needs of a person. This depletion can cause difficulty concentrating, lack of energy, bad moods, extreme stress, and even feelings of anxiety or depression. BRAINJUICE works to reverse this depletion by replenishing the brain, supporting cells, and providing nutrition to the brain by providing a concentrated nutrient dose to rejuvenate naturally the building blocks needed to produce more essential neurotransmitters. We always recommend exercise, healthy diet, and healthy sleep habits that can also dramatically affect your life for the better at work and home.

BRAINJUICE is available in many health, nutrition, and grocery stores. Visit our store locator to find a location near you.

We recommend not exceeding two servings per day. If you are drinking more than one, be sure to space them out as the effects from a single dose of BRAINJUICE can last between 6 and 8 hours. Alpha-GPC enhances cognitive function, but higher amounts in your system can actually make you feel tired.

Some of the ingredients used in BRAINJUICE Daily BrainPower Mix are naturally hygroscopic, that is, they absorb moisture from the air. This can result in clumping. Clumping does not affect the effectiveness of BRAINJUICE. Clumping does not mean the product is bad. The following steps can be taken to remedy the clumping in your current canister of powder:

• Store the canister in a cool and dry place.
• Always secure the lid tightly back on the canister after use, not enabling air or moisture to enter the canister. 
• Store BRAINJUICE Daily BrainPower Mix in the refrigerator.  This is suggested particularly during summer months, or in regions or climates that have high levels of humidity.(Most powdered products have the tendency to clump if exposed to air and moisture)
• If stored in the refrigerator after clumping. Remove the canister from the refrigerator and use a fork to break up the clumps. The powder can also be blended in a blender or food processor to break up any stubborn clumps.

One full bottle is the recommended serving. BRAINJUICE Original products have 75 mg of Green Tea caffeine. There are two decaffeinated options in our CLASSIC and Peach Mango flavors. If you are sensitive to caffeine, we recommend starting with half a bottle to make sure the caffeine level is comfortable for you, or try our Decaffeinated Original formula in CLASSIC and Peach Mango. We recommend drinking one full bottle daily and not more than two bottles per day. BRAINJUICE Immunity products have 75mg of organic Green Tea caffeine. BRAINJUICE ACTIVE formulas contain 111mg of organic Green Tea caffeine.

One of our most frequently asked questions on this website, “Is BRAINJUICE safe for children”?  We created BRAINJUICE KIDS.  BRAINJUICE Kids is formulated for Children 5 years and older.  It contains the recommended daily allowance of vitamins and minerals for children 5+. Additionally, BRAINJUICE KIDS has our Immunity Power Blend that has an additional pack of vitamins such as Zinc, Vitamin D, and Vitamin E to provide not only support to the brain, but additional immune support too!  BRAINJUICE KIDS is decaffeinated, and offered in a delicious Organic Dragon Berry flavor. BRAINJUICE is a natural supplement, however, we recommend that if your child is taking medication or under the care of a physician, you should always share with your physician so that the doctor can take your child’s specific needs into consideration.

All of the ingredients in BRAINJUICE have been independently tested by third parties and have been shown to be safe when taken as directed. Our Original BRAINJUICE BrainPower blend contains 75 mg of caffeine from green tea, or about the equivalent of a half a cup of coffee. If you are limiting your caffeine intake, we suggest our decaffeinated products.  BRAINJUICE Original Decaffeinated CLASSIC and Peach Mango flavors offer all of the same great benefits, minus the caffeine. We do always recommend checking with your doctor or child's pediatrician before taking BRAINJUICE so they can help address any specific conditions or concerns.

Brain Juice Review – A Liquid Nutritional Supplement For The Brain

By Leslie Waterson

Reviewed by Juliana Tamayo, MS, RDN - Last Updated May 20, 2020

Some of the links in our articles are from our advertisers.  Learn more about how we make money .

When it comes to our brain, we don’t ever want to take it for granted, especially when it helps us focus and concentrate on the tasks at hand every single day. There are days when focusing might be a chore, so you try something like coffee. When midday hits, though, the concentration and focus taper off and is replaced by that crashing feeling we all know. What if there was a supplement that could help you keep that focus and concentration going for as long as possible? Well, there is, and it’s one you might enjoy.

Brain Juice is a supplement that you can use to help focus, so you can get through the day without feeling the crash. It aims to make you feel like you can get a lot done, even on the busiest of days. If you want something that will keep you focused and ready to go, then Brain Juice might be what you’re looking for.

Brain Juice isn’t the only focus and brain supplement out there, though. There’s Brain Force Plus , Genius Joy , and Mind Boost , to name just a few. So, how do you know if Brain Juice is the supplement for you? We’ll take a closer look at Brain Juice, its ingredients, and more in this review.

What Is Brain Juice?

Brain Juice is available in daily shots or drink mixes. It is made from natural ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about the risk of side effects. It’s designed to give you the focus, mental clarity, and memory retention that you need. In other words, it’s a nootropic that will give you the brain boost you need. Plus, you won’t have to suffer from any kind of fatigue or midday crashes. Brain Juice comes in all kinds of tasty flavors, so you have a variety to enjoy. You take one a day, and you’ll feel the results in no time at all.

Brain Juice Advantages And Benefits

• Helps improve mental clarity
• Gives you no brain fog
• Improves memory
• Provides you with all-day focus
• Contains no caffeine
• Available in 4-pack and 12-pack shots
• Available in a drink mix
• Contains ingredients that don’t trigger severe side effects

Disadvantages

• Powdered drink mix may clump together when mixed

Who Makes Brain Juice?

Brain Juice is the name of both the supplement and the company that makes it. Brain Juice was founded in 2011 and is currently based in Austin, Texas. As of right now, they do not make any other supplements other than their flagship product.

For almost a decade, the company has been creating Brain Juice as a way to get people to improve their overall brain functions, including memory, mental clarity, and focus. They have been able to create their products in two different forms: daily shots and powdered drink mixes. At this time, they have no plans on creating any other supplements and will likely continue their focus on improving Brain Juice.

Brain Juice Ingredients

Brain Juice contains the following ingredients: blueberry extract, acai berry, Vitamin B6, L-Theanine, Alpha-GPC, Vitamin C, Vitamin B5, green tea extract, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, and N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine.

How Does Brain Juice Work?

Brain Juice comes in two different forms: daily shots and drink mixes. There are different ways of consuming Brain Juice, depending on which one you use. If you are the daily shots, you swish the shot under the tongue for ten seconds. The effects will be instant since it will go straight to your bloodstream compared to the drink mix. The shots will give you the quickest nutrients and will have the best bioavailability.

If you opt for the drink mix, you take a scoop of 8 to 10 ounces and mix it with a glass of water, a smoothie, or your favorite beverage. Either way, you’ll get the same amount of nutrients and the benefits will almost be instantaneous.

Throughout the day, you’ll be able to enjoy some of the best brain-boosting features that Brain Juice can provide. First, you’ll feel like you have more mental clarity than ever. And “brain fog” will simply be a thing of the past. You’ll feel like you can focus more and retain much information. Try doing that with a cup of coffee. Another benefit that is worth enjoying is the memory boost. Sure, we tend to have a slip of the mind and forget things. But you’ll be able to have a better chance at retaining information and be able to recall it if and when the situation arises. If you are looking for an all-round nootropic that will give your brain more power than you never thought was possible, one-shot or scoop of this and you’ll be in business for the entire day.

Some of the ingredients that are contained in Brain Juice are key and have been proven to improve various brain functions. For example, Vitamin B6 has been known for boosting overall cognitive functions. Vitamin B5 has been linked to boosting and even improving memory. And green tea extract will help you focus and stay energized throughout the day. Although this ingredient is present in Brain Juice, there is no caffeine. Usually, green tea extract would contain that. Another memory-boosting ingredient worth noting is Alpha-GPC. One dose of Brain Juice contains 600mg of Alpha-GPC, which is enough to help you retain vital information and be able to recall it.

Is Brain Juice Safe?

The side effects of Brain Juice have been minimal at best. Users have reported the following: headache, nausea, and vomiting. While not typical, these occurrences are few and far between. It is also a good idea to consult with your doctor before considering the idea of using nootropic supplements.

Where To Buy Brain Juice

You can purchase Brain Juice through their website and at some participating retailers. The price for a 4-pack of shots will cost $15.96. A 12-pack of shots will cost $47.88. If you opt for the drink mix, you get to choose between a container of 15 or 30 servings. The price for a 15 serving container will cost $39.99, while a 30 serving container will cost $59.99.

Brain Juice: Is It Worth It?

If you are looking for a brain boost in the form of a shot or a drink mix that is fast-acting, Brain Juice is absolutely worth it. If you are someone who is always busy and needs something to help you focus, remember things quicker, and be on point every single time, there is nothing that will ever come close to Brain Juice.

15+ Best Nootropic Drinks For Max Brainpower, Energy & Euphoria

Updated: 04/05/2024

Here’s something you should know…

Your brain can shift into a higher gear.

Whether you’re a competitive Type-A personality, or just looking for an edge, elite performers and Fortune 100 CEOs have a little secret: specially formulated brain-boosting drinks.

Benefits of popular nootropic drinks include:

• Boosting energy
• Enhancing memory
• Sharpening focus
• Increasing stamina
• Inducing calm and relaxation
• Clearing the mind
• Upgrading workouts
• Speeding up mental processing
• Increasing alertness
• Beating procrastination
• Ignoring distractions
• Tapping into the flow state (getting into “the zone”)

Sounds like a pipe dream. But try a high-quality brain-boosting drink and you’ll feel the effects within minutes. Unlike sugar-laden energy drinks, the top products don’t have the dreaded crash. Nor do they jack up your stress and hormones. In fact, nootropic drink formulas include ingredients that support your health even after the effects wear off.

Today, I’m reviewing the best nootropic drinks for energy, cognition, mood, productivity, and euphoria.

Best For : Powerful physical and mental boost

Caffeine : 0mg

Servings : 4

SnakeWater is a powerful combination of many of the best body and brain-enhancing ingredients. This caffeine-free drink is the ultimate pre-work and pre-workout energy drink.

Making it an all-in-one performance drink.

Snakewater contains:

• 3,000mg KetoneAid BioBHB
• 3,000mg Isomaltulose
• 375mg BCAA 2:1:1
• 250mg Beta-Alanine
• 25mcg Huperzine-A
• 100mg L-Taurine
• 25mg Theacrine
• 65mg Dynamine
• 20mg L-Theanine
• 300mg N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (NALT)

Buy SnakeWater for a well-formulated, strong, caffeine-free, all-in-one mental and physical performance boost.

DrinkUpdate

Best For : Strongest yet clean energy drink

Servings : 8

Paraxanthine is a molecular cousin of caffeine responsible for all of its benefits and virtually zero of its downsides. I began using it in early 2023 and haven’t looked back.

Although structurally paraxanthine is related to caffeine, they feel completely different. Paraxanthine feels light, clean, and clear-headed. It’s more motivating, focusing, and energizing than caffeine. It’s also easier on the cardiovascular and nervous systems. People that don’t do well with caffeine feel great on paraxanthine.

DrinkUpdate is quite possibly the cleanest energy drink available. This well-designed formula includes the best, most well-studied, and safe nootropics. They even bit the bullet and used the highest-quality sweeteners at their own expense.

Buy DrinkUpdate’s paraxanthine energy drink to experience the cleanest and strongest caffeine-free boost available.

KetoneAid KE4

Best For : Healthy, neuroprotective, energetic buzz

Servings : 9

This is the exact product used by Olympians, chess grandmasters, professional athletes, and other high-performers.

Aside from glucose (sugar), ketones are the only other fuel that the brain source that the brain can run on. They’re a steady source of clean energy. Interestingly, they generate fewer free radicals and thus support long-term optimal brain performance. Exogenous ketone supplements have a slew of powerful science-backed benefits:

Buy KetoneAid to enhance the function of your brain while increasing energy and physical performance simultaneously.

Brain Juice

Best For : Natural nootropic smoothie

Caffeine : 75mg

Servings : 12

Brain Juice is a new and lesser-known addition to the nootropic drink scene using fresh, high-quality whole foods with a touch of the right nootropics. They’re the natural approach to energy and mental clarity. Drinks come in five flavors. Each of which is non-GMO, gluten-free, free of colorants or synthetic fillers, low-sugar, low-carb, Keto-friendly, BPA-free. Brain Juice Active contains an impressive array of compounds:

• Acetyl-L-Carnitine
• N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine
• Vitamin B12
• Green Tea Extract
• Organic Acai Berries
• Organic Blueberries
• Organic Beet Powder
• Red Spinach Extract
• Himalayan Pink Salt
• Ginger and Tumeric

These ingredients primarily boost two neurotransmitters. Learning and memory ( acetylcholine ). Healthy behavior, motivation, inspiration, focus, and drive ( dopamine ). As a bonus, you’ll blunt overstimulation, reduce nutrient deficiency, crush decision fatigue, and improve sleep.  Brain Juice is the top natural nootropic drink pick.

Alpha Brain Instant

Best For : Caffeine-free anti-aging blend

Servings : 30

Alpha BRAIN® Instant is a powder supplement created by Onnit Labs. It is a caffeine-free, stimulant-free, non-GMO, gluten-free formula. Specially designed to boost your alpha brainwaves (see where the product gets its name?). Alpha brain waves increase productivity and keep you focused. This product supports healthy neurotransmitter production. Alpha Brain Instant’s ingredients include:

• Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine HCl)
• Oat (straw) extract
• Phosphatidylserine
• Cat’s Claw (bark) extract (ac-11)
• Bacopa (aerial parts) extract
• Huperzia serrata (aerial parts) extract
• Pterostilbene
• Black Pepper (fruit) extract (BioPerine)
• Organic Tea Leaf

Their blend improves memory, focus, mental processing, and the ability to “get in the zone”. Even among healthy users. Pour a packet into a liquid of your choosing. It comes in seven unique flavors and supports. A convenient and delicious alternative to the Alpha Brain capsules. Alpha Brain is a popular portable nootropic powder gentle enough for everyday use.

Best For : Powerful racetam-based nootropic

Caffeine : 100mg

Servings : 20

TruBrain is the product of a California-based startup that has been prominently featured in major media outlets. Formulated by a team of UCLA-trained neuroscientists, it comes in one-ounce shots. Designed to increase your verbal fluency, avoid distractions, and boost mental output. Or, in other words, get more done with less effort.

TruBrain contains a powerful concoction of nootropic ingredients:

• Noopept – 20mg
• ALCAR – 500mg
• NALT – 350mg
• Centrophenoxine – 250mg
• Magnesium – 200mg
• L-Theanine – 160mg
• Uridine Monophosphate – 500mg
• Caffeine (optional)

Few products list the exact dosages of both their nutrients and active nootropics. Though each sachet does contain four grams of sugar, it’s primarily sweetened with natural ingredients like monk fruit, mangosteen, and blue agave.

Whether used for calm focus, turbo-charged memory, or ridding brain fog, Hollywood Film Festival selected TruBrain as “The Juice That Fuels Creatives”.

Mental Mojo

Best For : Pre-workout nootropic

Caffeine : 175mg

• Vinpocetine
• Ginko Biloba
• L-Citrulline
• Huperzine-A
• Green caffeine

Between the nootropics and 175mg of caffeine, normal effects include greater energy, deeper focus, mental clarity, and feeling mentally switched “on”. Just add 1 stick to 16 ounces of water. If you don’t love it, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. Caffeine lovers who want a simple blend of nootropics will enjoy Mental Mojo.

Neu Energy Shots

Best For : Extra-strength energy shot

Caffeine : 300mg

With 300mg of caffeine, Neu is the strongest energy-based nootropic shot on the market. Far stronger than typical “extra-strength” energy shots. Crafted for highly active folks, ranging from athletes to musicians to world travelers. All five flavors contain zero sugar and zero carbs. Neu Energy Shot Ingredients:

• Pantothenic Acid
• Choline Bitartrate

Neu hides exact doses of their brain boosters behind a 1.705-gram “nootropic blend”. They do disclose that the drinks contain 300mg of caffeine and 250mg of L-Theanine to take off caffeine’s edge (and jitters). Choose Neu if you’re looking for a potent, heavily caffeinated energy shot, and don’t mind the preservatives.

Kimera Koffee

Best For : Nootropic coffee

Caffeine : Varies

Servings : 24

Kimera Koffee isn’t your typical cup of joe. They make original nootropic coffee products with different blends for every preference: original, dark, focus, K-Cups, amber, endurance, and even TOGO travel bags. Kimera sources high-quality beans from Brazil’s premier coffee plantations. All products are organic and the result of dozens of product iterations. Kimera Koffee’s research-backed nootropic ingredients include:

Though the added ingredients are simple, Kimera has amassed a 4.5-star rating from over 1,000 happy customers. If you like the convenience of getting coffee and nootropics all-in-one, Kimera is the clear winner.

Rasa Adaptogenic Coffee Alternative

Best For : Nootropic coffee alternative

• Roasted chicory roots
• Burdock roots
• Dandelion roots
• Chaga mycelium
• Ashwagandha
• Ceylon cinnamon
• Reishi extract

Brew your cup just like coffee, but steep for 10 minutes. You’ll get the best ingredients handpicked from Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, & Western Herbalism. Rasa is the best herbal nootropic coffee alternative.

CocoTropic Raw Cacao

Best For : Whole-food nootropic

Caffeine : 8mg

Servings : 32

Another great nootropic drink alternative, CocoTropic is 100% plant-based raw cacao. A nutritionally dense drink that supports immunity, blood flow, general health, cognition, and focus. Since its inception in 2016, CocoTropic committed to quality, testing every batch of raw material is quality tested for heavy metal and microbial contamination and purity.  CocoTropic’s nootropic ingredients include:

• Natural wild cacao powder
• Reishi mushroom extract
• Natural raw maca powder
• Chaga mushroom extract
• Natural turmeric

Expert artisan farmers have generations of experience growing the mushrooms CoCoTropic adds to all their products. These mushrooms come from China’s high-altitude mountainous regions. Consume CocoTropic as a coffee substitute, or add it to coffee, tea, smoothies, and shakes. CocoTropic is the most versatile nootropic food or drink additive .

Best For : Classic energy drink taste with strong nootropics

FocusAID is one of the biggest nootropic drink makers. They have different products for just about any situation. From excelling at golf, to increasing immunity, to recovering from a hangover. Even the FocusAID can feel remarkably similar to a certain popular energy drink.

FocusAID is an energy blend designed to increase mental acuity, focus, concentration, and memory. Its “fusion tea” taste comes at 45 calories per can, sweetened with 9 grams of raw organic blue agave. FocusAid contains the following ingredients:

• Full Vitamin B complex
• GABA (for stress relief, focus, and clarity)
• Rhodiola rosea (for concentration)
• Alpha GPC (for memory and cognition)
• American ginseng (for learning)
• Acetyl-L-Carnitine (for neurotransmitter support).

Each can contains 100mg of caffeine, barely above average. FocusAID has been featured in 9 large publications. When looking for a nootropic-boosted energy drink, try FocusAID.

Best For : Convenient nootropic drink

Neurobrands, the company behind neuroSONIC, is the oldest supplier of nootropic drinks. Since 2007, neuroSonic has introduced many skeptics to nootropics. It was the first nootropic drink I tried, and I found it easily. Physical retailers like Kroger, Walmart, Target, ShopRite, and of course, Amazon all carry Neurobrands products. Though they claim that their product significantly increased energy, attention, and mood in a clinical trial, I couldn’t locate the study.  NeuroSonic ingredients include:

• Pomegranate

This product is a good source of antioxidants, flavonoids, and polyphenols. From Goji, Pomegranate, and Blueberry to the natural caffeine in green tea and green coffee beans. Although they got the 2:1 caffeine-to-theanine ratio right (100mg to 200mg), I don’t like the 9 grams of sugar per serving. And the company has been involved in some litigation. Choose neuroSonic when shopping for a nootropic drink in-store. 

Best For : Adaptogenic energy drink

Caffeine : 128mg

The most recent entry to nootropic drinks, NERD Focus hit Amazon shelves in December of 2020. Already, it’s highly rated hovering at 4.8 stars. Think of NERD Focus as a typical energy drink lightly fortified with nootropics and adaptogens. The taste is somewhere between Mountain Dew and Jolly Ranchers (too sweet for me). NERD Focus ingredients include:

• Ginkgo Biloba
• Ginseng Extract
• Guarana Seed Extract

128mg of caffeine is above average for a 12-ounce can. NERD Focus comes in original (170 calories per can and 42 grams of sugar) and zero. Original has far too much sugar for me, and Zero contains lots of preservatives. If your priority is a nootropic and adaptogen-enhanced energy drink, and don’t mind sweet try NERD Focus.

Best For : Relaxation and mood

• Red Tart Cherry Concentrate
• Cordyceps Extract (Cordyceps sinensis)
• 5-HTP (Griffonia simplicifolia)
• Himalayan Sea Salt

At 60 calories, 14 grams of carbs, and 13 grams of sugar, it’s a beverage best saved for special occasions. So far, Sun Chaser has been featured in Shape, Glamour, ThingTesting, and Product Hunt.

Best For : Strongest mocktail

Caffeine : 50mg

Servings : 1

My favorite nootropic drink for euphoria, Kin has established itself as the premium choice. Everything from the product design, to the unique formula make the drink feel like an actual substitute for a $25 NYC cocktail. Kin Spritz specifically enhances social situations by supporting key neurotransmitters in charge of mood, pleasure, and reward. Kin’s products include adaptogens, nootropics, botanics, and other compounds. The full ingredients inside Kin Spritz include:

• Hibiscus Flower Extract
• Rhodiola Rosea Extract
• Phenylethylamine
• Licorice root extract
• Bitter orange extract
• Gentian root extract
• Ginger extract

Spritz does include 5 grams of sugar, and 50 mg of caffeine for a “lifted mind, relaxed body, and kindred spirit”. Buy Kin Euphorics for special occasions to replace a night of drinking.

Nootropic Drink Questions & Answers

What is a nootropic drink.

Nootropic drinks are a class of beverages that include special ingredients that improve the functioning of the brain. Research suggests that their benefits last even after the obvious feelings wear off. Nootropic drinks usually include ingredients like caffeine, L-Theanine, Alpha GPC, vitamins, and minerals.

What drink is best for the brain?

Certain ingredients are well-researched to improve health, repair, and processing power of the brain. This category is called nootropic beverages and they can offset the effects of sleep deprivation, increase focus, and enhance mental endurance — without overstimulating the body.

What is the most powerful nootropic?

Caffeine isn’t actually the most powerful nootropic. A better alternative to boost alertness, mood, focus, productivity, and energy is a related compound called Theacrine. It provides all the same benefits (and more) without the jitters, insomnia, stress, and side effects of caffeine.

Are nootropic drinks safe?

High-quality nootropic drinks are generally safe (but not recognized as so by the FDA). The safety of nootropic drinks depends on the manufacturer. Since there is little regulatory oversight, companies often add cheap or unproven ingredients.

Nootropic Beverages to Maximize Energy, Brainpower, & Euphoria

The first and most powerful nootropic in the world is sound sleep, a clean diet, consistent exercise, and adequate recovery.

Once you master the basic, specific brain-boosting drinks can elevate your mental performance to its peak. Compared to pills and powders, drinks are a convenient and tasty replacement.

The Transformative Effects of Travel on the Brain: How Travel Boosts Creativity, Improves Cognitive Function, Reduces Stress, Increases Empathy, and Enhances Social Connections

Travel is an incredible way to explore new cultures, meet new people, and experience new things. But did you know that travel can also have a profound effect on your brain? Recent research has shown that travel can have a variety of positive effects on the brain, including boosting creativity, improving cognitive function, and reducing stress.

In this article, we’ll explore how travel changes your brain and how you can make the most of your travels to reap these benefits.

• Boosts Creativity

One of the most notable ways that travel changes your brain is by boosting creativity. Travel exposes you to new sights, sounds, and experiences, which can inspire and stimulate your brain in new ways. A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that people who lived abroad scored higher on creativity tests than those who had never lived abroad.

Travel can also help you break out of your usual routine and thought patterns, which can further stimulate creativity. When you travel, you’re forced to navigate unfamiliar environments and solve new problems, which can help your brain create new neural pathways and associations.

• Improves Cognitive Function

Travel has also been shown to improve cognitive function, including memory, attention, and decision-making. A study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology found that spending time in nature, such as on a hiking or camping trip, can improve cognitive function and increase creativity.

Travel can also challenge your brain in new ways, such as by learning a new language or navigating a new city. These activities can help improve memory and attention and may even help delay the onset of age-related cognitive decline.

• Reduces Stress

Travel can also have a powerful effect on reducing stress levels. Stress is a major contributor to many health problems, including anxiety, depression, and heart disease. A study published in the Journal of Travel Medicine found that people who went on vacation reported lower stress levels and better overall health than those who stayed at home.

Travel can help reduce stress by giving you a break from your daily routine and responsibilities. When you travel, you can focus on experiencing new things and enjoying your surroundings, which can help take your mind off of stressors at home.

• Increases Empathy

Travel can also increase empathy, or the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. When you travel, you’re exposed to new cultures and ways of life, which can broaden your perspective and help you see things from different points of view.

A study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science found that people who had lived abroad were more likely to score higher on empathy tests than those who had never lived abroad. Travel can help you develop a deeper understanding of different cultures and may even help you become a more compassionate and understanding person.

• Enhances Social Connections

Travel is also a great way to enhance social connections and build new relationships. When you travel, you have the opportunity to meet new people from all over the world, including locals and other travelers. These connections can be a great source of support and friendship, and can even lead to lifelong relationships.

Travel can also help you build social skills and improve your communication and interpersonal skills. When you’re in a new environment, you have to navigate unfamiliar social norms and customs, which can help you become more adaptable and comfortable in new social situations.

In conclusion, travel can have a powerful effect on the brain, including boosting creativity, improving cognitive function, reducing stress, increasing empathy, and enhancing social connections. To make the most of your travels, try to engage in activities that challenge your brain and expose you to new experiences and cultures. Take time to reflect on your experiences and appreciate the ways in which travel is changing your brain and your life.

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics.  This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area.  Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market.  The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in.  The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya.  Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya.  At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north.  Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center.  Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii.  Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.
