In one serving
No proprietary blend to decode. Every active and its exact dose, on the label and below.
Other ingredients: vegetable cellulose capsule (HPMC), rice flour, silica, vegetable magnesium stearate. Lion’s Mane is an 8:1 fruiting-body extract, so 500 mg is equivalent to roughly 4 g of dried mushroom. Drive is a separate 3-capsule morning serving; full panel on the Science page.
The evidence
Every active in Alutic is dosed to the range used in human trials, not the trace amounts a blend can hide. Representative findings for the branded forms we use:
Reported by subjects in the cited trials†

Supplies the phospholipid and acetylcholine precursors neurons use to build and maintain membranes.

A standardised bacoside extract studied for memory acquisition and retention over weeks.

Hericium erinaceus fruiting body, not mycelium-on-grain, investigated for neurotrophic signalling.

The dose shown to smooth caffeine and support calm, sustained attention.

A catecholamine precursor that defends working memory and reaction time under stress and load.

An adaptogen studied for fatigue resistance during sustained mental effort.

A standardised stigma extract studied for mood support at a low clinical dose.

Methylliberine and theacrine extend caffeine’s curve and blunt the crash.
Most commodity stacks list the right ingredients at a fraction of the studied dose, so you take something and feel nothing. Alutic is dosed to the ranges used in published human trials for the branded forms it uses, with every milligram printed on the label.

Four capsules of Daily any time of day, or three Drive capsules in the morning. Water, no routine to learn.

Take it daily. The cumulative actives like Bacopa and citicoline build with consistent use, not loading days.

Drive is same-morning. Daily compounds over two to four weeks. Judge it on week three, not day one.
The math
Buying each branded ingredient separately, at the dose Alutic uses, costs more than one subscription.
| Bought separately | In Alutic | Typical cost/mo |
|---|---|---|
| Cognizin® Citicoline 500 mg | $28 | |
| Synapsa® Bacopa 320 mg | $18 | |
| Suntheanine® L-Theanine 200 mg | $16 | |
| Lion’s Mane 8:1 extract 500 mg | $14 | |
| L-Tyrosine 1500 mg | $10 | |
| Rhodiolife® Rhodiola 300 mg | $9 | |
| Total per month | $69 | $95 separately |
Separate-purchase costs are illustrative estimates for comparable branded forms.
“Took about three weeks before afternoon focus changed in a way I’d trust. Coffee crashes on Drive are basically gone. Still not sure the Lion’s Mane does anything on its own, but I’ve reordered twice.”
“Bought it because it was the only label I could check against the studies I’d read. Daily is subtle, more ‘fewer bad afternoons’ than ‘limitless.’ Drive I felt the first morning.”
“Two prop-blend stacks before this, felt nothing, assumed nootropics were marketing. 1500 mg of tyrosine is not what the others were quietly giving you. Three months in, staying on it.”
Daily is built for continuous use. Citicoline, Synapsa Bacopa and Lion’s Mane work cumulatively and there’s no benefit to interrupting them.
Drive contains caffeine, Dynamine and TeaCrine, so many people run it five days on, two off. That’s about preserving stimulant sensitivity, not safety.
With Daily, freely: it’s stimulant-free, and the 200 mg of Suntheanine actually takes the edge off caffeine. Drive already contains 100 mg caffeine plus Dynamine and TeaCrine, so adding coffee is stacking stimulants. Fine if you account for it; keep your total daily caffeine sensible.
Drive is acute. Most people notice it 45 to 60 minutes into the first morning. Daily is mostly cumulative: theanine and tyrosine have a same-day feel, but Bacopa, citicoline and Lion’s Mane build over two to four weeks. Don’t judge Daily on day one.
Proprietary blends exist so a brand can list impressive ingredients while hiding how little of each is in the capsule. We disclose every milligram so you can check it against the trials. The trade-off is competitors can copy our label, and we think that’s the right side to be on.
Every lot is tested by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory for identity, potency, heavy metals and microbials before it ships. Certificates of analysis are published by lot number on the Science page. Match the code on your bottle to its CoA.
Email us within 60 days for a full refund. No return shipping, no interrogation. Response to nootropics is individual, and we’d rather refund you than have you keep taking something you don’t feel.
