A different vision for us real people…
We’re surrounded by ads and products of the world’s best athletes. All built on the hope we can be like these superhumans. But most of us compete less with our body and more with our mind - at work, in school, over a chess board, wherever our mind is challenged. We’re a different kind of athlete. We’re mental athletes.
How costly is mental fatigue… and its consequences… the careless comment in a high-stakes meeting, a slip… just one miscalculation… at the chessboard that can undo four hours of perfect play. It’s not just ballers who need intense, sustained energy and focus—it’s anyone whose performance depends on a mental edge.
Finding the Edge
How do mental athletes gain their edge? We're here to help you tap into powers you didn’t even know you had. We’re not just about small gains; we’re about a game changing unlock… a quantum leap in focus, memory, and alertness. We’re a tribe of scientists, mental athletes, and entrepreneurs who take brain mastery as seriously as a heart attack.
Fueled by Nature
We're dedicated to healthy living and natural solutions—after all, nature has held answers for centuries, like willow bark, the original source of aspirin.
For a mental boost, we carefully blended nature’s gifts into powerful fuel for your mind, with one clear goal: it had to work. No small doses with subtle effects. And, it had to offer sustainable energy—something that wouldn’t leave you drained afterward.
Our founder, a longtime chess player, drew against a Grandmaster ranked #645 in the world just three days after starting to use this formula—his highest draw to date. Fluke? Perhaps. But the very next morning, he drew again, this time against a Grandmaster ranked #334. In the next two months, his rating climbed over 150 points.
Caleb’s Story, In His Words
I discovered chess at age six. Instant obsession. One Saturday at a local soup kitchen, I met George—an International Master who became my unofficial coach. Our training ground? The public library. My first tournament came at age seven.
George had this habit: before every move, he’d say, “Wait one minute.” For me—and for a lot of young players—the hardest thing was taking our time. But when I did, it unlocked a different level of play.
The Tomato Head Trick
Fast forward to the New York State Championship when I was 10. After a full day of play, I was exhausted before the final round. My dad had a… creative solution. “Do a handstand to get the blood flowing to your brain.” I couldn’t hold one, so he held me upside down until my face was red as a tomato. I went on to win. That’s when I realized—sometimes you can change how your brain works in the moment.
The Crash Problem
By my teens, life was a grind. A dual curriculum school—out the door by 7 a.m., home at 6 p.m.—chess tournaments, and track meets. I struggled to keep up. Caffeine felt like the obvious answer… until it wasn’t. The boost came with a crash. It was stealing energy from my future self to get through the present.
The Obsession
I started digging into alternatives—ingredients as powerful as caffeine but without the crash. I noticed something: the better the chess player, the more they cared about fatigue and mental fog. It often decided games.
So, I went deep. Neuroscientists. Nutritionists. Supplement formulators. Anyone who would talk to me. Then I pitched my teachers, grandparents, friends, and family friends. They invested more than I expected.
The Missing Piece
As the formula evolved, feedback revealed one more gap: memory. So I added two patented ingredients—one with clinical trials for short-term memory, one for long-term memory.
And that’s how Mental Athlete was born. A supplement designed to boost mental energy, sharpen focus, and strengthen memory—for chess players, for mental athletes, for anyone who wants to keep their brain “on” when it matters most.
