What is the science behind Brain Bumps?

Brain Bumps supports three systems involved in cognitive readiness: brain energy and attention with Cognizin® Citicoline, working memory and cell-membrane structure with Phosphatidylserine, and calm alertness with L-Theanine. The formula is caffeine-free, uses transparent doses, and links its ingredient claims to peer-reviewed human research.

THE SCIENCE OF SHOWING UP

You don't need a smarter brain.
You need access to the one you already have.

Q: Why does Brain Bumps use Cognizin® Citicoline?

Cognizin® is a branded form of citicoline studied for attention, brain energy, and cognitive performance. Brain Bumps provides 500 mg in the full Locked In serving. It supports the synthesis of acetylcholine and phospholipids involved in attention and healthy brain-cell function.

Q: What does L-Theanine do?

L-Theanine supports relaxed alertness and calm focus without sedation. Brain Bumps provides 200 mg in the full serving. It complements citicoline by helping reduce mental noise and supporting an attentive state without relying on caffeine or other stimulants.

Q: What does Phosphatidylserine support?

Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid found in brain-cell membranes. It supports healthy membrane structure, neuron-to-neuron communication, working memory, and stress response. Brain Bumps provides 200 mg in the full Locked In serving alongside citicoline and L-Theanine.

When life becomes complicated, your intelligence isn't usually the problem. It's the endless tabs open in your head.

The meetings. The deadlines. The messages. The family. The constant context switching. Brain Bumps was built to support the moments where life asks more of your mind — not by making you someone else, but by helping you show up as yourself.

SHOWING UP — Vol. 01

"The product isn't the hero. The person is."

SECTION 01 — WHAT YOU FEEL

Results you can feel.

Forget the chemistry for a second. Here's what people actually report when Brain Bumps is part of the daily rhythm.

01

More mental clarity

When everything competes for your attention, deciding what matters becomes harder. Brain Bumps supports attention, working memory, and mental processing — less energy sorting noise, more energy moving forward.

"The fog just lifts."

02

Calm under pressure

Busy days don't always require more stimulation. Sometimes they require less mental friction. Our formula supports a state of relaxed alertness — composure during demanding work without heavy stimulants.

"Steady, not stimulated."

03

Better follow through

Ideas only matter if they become action. Whether you're studying, designing, managing people, or building a business — consistency comes from showing up day after day.

"I actually finish things now."

SECTION 02 — IN REAL LIFE

What this looks like
in real life.

Forget the clinical charts. Here's the actual day.

MONDAY MORNING

Your inbox has 87 unread emails.

You know where to begin.

DEEP WORK

The project finally starts flowing.

One task becomes two. Then three. Momentum builds.

AFTERNOON

No racing thoughts. No crash.

Just enough clarity to finish what matters.

EVENING

Spent — because you accomplished something.

Not because your mind was fighting itself all day.

SECTION 03 — WHY IT WORKS

Built around three
complementary systems.

Rather than chasing dozens of trendy ingredients, Brain Bumps focuses on three clinically researched compounds that work together. Each one plays a different role.

SYSTEM 01 · ENERGY

Brain Energy

Cognizin® Citicoline

Supports healthy brain energy production and acetylcholine synthesis. Research has shown improvements in sustained attention, processing speed, and memory.

Frontal-lobe ATP &
membrane turnover

Peer-reviewed RCT · PMID 21885437 ↗

SYSTEM 02 · STRUCTURE

Brain Structure

Phosphatidylserine

A major building block of healthy brain cell membranes. Supports neuron communication while helping maintain cognitive function under stress.

Membrane fluidity &
stress resilience

Clinical study · PMID 26353487 ↗

SYSTEM 03 · STATE

Brain State

L-Theanine

Supports relaxed alertness — helping reduce mental noise while maintaining focus. Encourages a calm, attentive state with increased alpha-wave activity.

SECTION 04 — INTENTIONAL BY DESIGN

We didn't try to
include everything.

We chose three ingredients with decades of research because we believe better isn't about adding more.

It's about choosing what matters. Brain Bumps was intentionally built around a focused formula that supports clarity, attention, and consistency — without unnecessary complexity.

SECTION 05 — THE BUILDER'S QUESTION

What are you
building?

Brain Bumps exists for the work behind your ambitions.

"Your goals deserve the best version of you."

Not a superhuman version. Just the version that's able to think clearly when life becomes complicated.

RESEARCH LIBRARY

We read the studies so you don't have to.

Every ingredient claim links to peer-reviewed research — summarized in plain language, limitations included.

Cognizin® Citicoline Peer-reviewed RCT · PMID 21885437

Citicoline and attention in healthy adults

WHAT THEY TESTED

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of daily citicoline supplementation in healthy adults over several weeks.

KEY FINDING

The citicoline group performed measurably better on attention tasks and made fewer errors than the placebo group.

PRACTICAL TAKEAWAY

Consistent daily citicoline supports the attention system your focus runs on — the benefit builds with use.

Read the study on PubMed ↗

Phosphatidylserine Peer-reviewed clinical study · PMID 26353487

Phosphatidylserine and memory performance

WHAT THEY TESTED

Clinical research on daily phosphatidylserine supplementation and its effect on memory and cognitive function.

KEY FINDING

Participants taking phosphatidylserine showed improvements in memory measures compared with baseline and control.

PRACTICAL TAKEAWAY

Phosphatidylserine keeps brain-cell membranes flexible — the hardware your recall depends on.

L-Theanine Randomized controlled trial · PMID 30746377

L-Theanine, stress, and cognitive function

WHAT THEY TESTED

A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of daily L-theanine measuring stress-related symptoms and cognitive performance.

KEY FINDING

L-theanine reduced stress-related measures and improved aspects of cognitive performance versus placebo.

PRACTICAL TAKEAWAY

L-Theanine takes the edge off stress without sedation — calm focus instead of jitters.
