MyQ: The Smart Supplement Brand Actually Doing It Right
Let’s be honest — most “brain health” or “nootropic” products on the market are just caffeine in disguise. They throw in a sprinkle of “focus ingredients” and call it a day, hoping you’ll feel a short-term boost and not ask what it’s actually doing to your brain long-term.
But that’s exactly what MyQ, founded by Justin Hall, set out to change.
The Story Behind the Brand
Justin’s approach wasn’t about chasing quick hits of focus or dopamine spikes. He wanted to create a system that actually supports long-term brain health, built on ingredients that work with your biology — not against it.
He talks about four key pillars in MyQ’s formulation philosophy:
Use the highest-quality, most bioavailable ingredients (think methylated B-vitamins instead of cheap forms your body can’t absorb).
Use ingredients backed by science, not hype.
Build real synergy — where ingredients enhance each other’s effects.
Ensure safety and balance, especially since brain chemistry can be sensitive to stacking.
That level of thought is rare in this space — and it shows in both MyQ products.
MyQ Brain Food: Mental Clarity Without the Crash
The Brain Food Capsules are built for focus, memory, and clarity — but what makes them special is what’s not in them: no caffeine, no fake stimulants, no harsh synthetic blends.
Here’s the core lineup:
Methylated B-Vitamins (B3, B6, Folate, B12) → Essential for energy production, neurotransmitter balance, and healthy nerve function. These are the forms your body can actually use.
Phosphatidylserine (SunPS®) → A clinically studied compound that supports alertness, recall, and long-term cognitive health.
CognatIQ® (Coffee Fruit Extract) → Naturally increases BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) — a key player in memory, learning, and neuron growth.
Quercetin + ResveraSOL™ (BioSNEDS) → A powerful antioxidant duo that enhances each other’s absorption and supports long-term brain protection.
Niacin (B3) → For blood flow, nervous system health, and skin integrity.
These capsules aren’t just about turning your brain “on” — they’re about keeping it healthy, resilient, and adaptable.
Real talk: I’ve been using them at night when I shouldn’t have another energy drink but still need to lock in for work — and they’re a game-changer.
No crash, no jittery fake focus, just smooth, clean mental clarity that feels like my brain’s firing on all cylinders.
MyQ Electrolytes: Hydration That Actually Does Something
Next up — the MyQ Electrolytes, and this one surprised me.
Most electrolyte powders are just sodium and flavor. MyQ’s formula is built around brain and nervous system support.
It includes:
Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Chloride → The essentials for hydration and nerve signal transmission.
iXOS™ Prebiotic Fiber → Supports gut-brain communication by feeding beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacteria.
Phosphatidylserine + NeuroRush™ (Coffee Fruit Extract) → The same brain-support combo from the capsules for sustained focus and improved cognitive function.
Quercetin + Resveratrol → Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective — rare to see in an electrolyte formula.
And the flavor?
Sunrise Orange (OJ) — tart, refreshing, smooth and clean.
I was ready for that typical “vitamin aftertaste” most functional drinks have — but there’s none of that here. It honestly tastes like a glass of good orange juice, not a supplement.
My only critique: I wish it had a bit more sodium — especially for athletes or heavy sweaters — but I get why they kept it lighter. It’s designed more as a daily hydration and brain support formula rather than a high-sodium endurance drink.
The Verdict
What sets MyQ apart is the intentionality.
Every ingredient has a purpose — and not just for short-term focus. This is brain support designed to compound over time, improving how you think, focus, and recover from stress.
It’s not about fake energy.
It’s about fueling your brain for performance, longevity, and clarity — something most supplement brands don’t even pretend to care about.
If you’re tired of the noise in the nootropic space and want something that actually works with your brain, not against it — MyQ deserves your attention.
