What it does
Performance Lab Mind is a 4-ingredient cognitive supplement from Performance Lab; posts on mindlabpro.com say Performance Lab supplements are formulated by Opti-Nutra in the UK, which they call the maker of Mind Lab Pro (checked 2026-10-08). Opti-Nutra Ltd is the former name of Performance Lab Ltd (Companies House 09439153; checked 2026-10-09). It is designed as a precision stack of four ingredients, each with its amount on the label, taken as 1 capsule per day.
How it works
Citicoline (250mg Cognizin) boosts acetylcholine synthesis and supports neuronal membrane phospholipid production. Phosphatidylserine (100mg Sharp-PS) enhances synaptic signal transduction and reduces cortisol. L-Tyrosine (250mg) replenishes dopamine and norepinephrine precursors for working memory under stress. Maritime Pine Bark (75mg, 95% proanthocyanidins) provides antioxidants that support cerebral blood flow. L-Tyrosine and pine bark are below our reference doses.
What to expect
Acute (30-60 min): mild focus from Tyrosine and Citicoline's acetylcholine boost. 2-4 weeks: improved mental endurance and reduced cognitive fatigue. 8-12 weeks: memory and neuroprotective benefits from Phosphatidylserine and pine bark accumulate. Performance Lab Mind is ideal as a standalone for minimalists, or stacked with Performance Lab Energy for a comprehensive cognitive + energy protocol.

Ingredient quality
Number and quality of evidence-graded ingredients. Trademarked extracts and standardized actives raise this score.
Dosing vs. clinical evidence
The share of ingredients with a reference dose on our ingredient pages whose label-stated daily amount meets that page's minimum. Amounts the label hides (blend shares) or states on a different basis count as not met; ingredients with no reference page are listed but not scored.
Formula transparency
Full disclosure of every ingredient at its exact dose. Proprietary blends are scored as opaque.
Value for money
Cost per month relative to per-serving clinical doses delivered. Cheaper products with underdoses score lower.
Brand trust
Brand reputation, third-party testing, refund track record, and Trustpilot signal across multiple years.
