Pillar — Cognitive Performance
until bacopa peaks — the honest curve, not the day-one fantasy.

The gap
Most nootropics promise overnight clarity. Honest research shows working memory improves on a 12-week curve. We dose for the long game.
The evidence

What KōJō provides
Three inputs, dosed at the level the research used.
-
Ingredient 1
300 mg
Bacopa Monnieri Extract
Standardised ≥55% bacosides — the active fraction Stough used. 12-week minimum trial for full effect.
-
Ingredient 2
200 mg + 2,000 mg
L-Theanine + Ceremonial Matcha
Suntheanine L-theanine plus Japanese ceremonial matcha. Calm focus, not jittery focus. ~66 mg caffeine, ~40 mg theanine, ~90 mg EGCG per serving.
-
Ingredient 3
500 mcg
Methylcobalamin (active B12)
Active form — bypasses the MTHFR variant present in ~40% of UK adults. The B12 your brain actually uses.
What to expect
It compounds. Give it the time.
-
Week 1–2
Sharper afternoon focus.
L-theanine pairs with matcha caffeine for clean, sustained attention. The mid-afternoon slump softens.
-
Week 4–6
You remember what you walked into the room to do.
B12 and B6 cofactor levels normalise; methylation pathways run smoother.
-
Week 8–12
Bacopa’s working-memory effect lands.
Trial endpoint. Visual-spatial memory and processing speed measurably improve in published research.
Less noise. More proof.
Every dose published. Every ingredient sourced.
