The sun is about to rise…again, and you are still glued to multiple screens conquering virtual enemies, researching the next coin with 100x potential or finishing that essay you had been putting off.

While you´re in deep concentration, fatigue starts to rear its ugly head and you begin to feel like there is very little fuel left in the tank; Your mind immediately fantasizes with a power nap in one of the legendary sleeping pods at Google´s corporate headquarters. The problem is, you are not there.

How can you replenish your energies without jeopardizing your workflow? The answer is simple: do what NASA astronauts and elite United States military personnel have done for decades, take a quick nap. Napping can be your secret weapon, but like any great weapon, upgrades make it even more effective.

That´s precisely where NAPJITSU and its cutting edge brain-boosting, patent pending supplement selection come into play.

Championed by star athletes like basketball legend Gary Payton, mixed martial artist “Hurricane” Shane Burgos and Super Bowl champion Warren Sapp – to name a few – these ultra effective solutions are known to enhance the regenerative power of a brief nap, and also boost focus and enhance performance even when sleeping is not possible (think a day of classes after a long night in front of the screen).

"At our core, we are solving the energy problem. Everyone wants to be a high-performer in whatever they do, NAPJITSU puts people on the right path to optimized energy. We have a suite of products to keep you optimally energized. We're here to help you perform better when you need it." Chief Executive Officer, Laura Brooks affirms.

By harnessing the power of time-released caffeine and the documented benefits of B vitamins, Guarana, Ginseng, Ginkgo and other powerful nootropics, NAPJITSU can boost your energy levels and alertness by up to 56% with as many as 90% of users reporting enhanced performance for 6 hours after taking NOW, one of the brand´s best selling products.

We recently interviewed Laura Brooks and the NAPJITSU team, these are some of the insights they shared:

Some people think nootropics are the stuff of films and tv shows, how do they enhance daily life?

Nootropics were defined as a category in 1972 by a Romanian psychologist and chemist — the word means "mind bending" and it refers to a group of substances that are cognition-enhancing, whether they stimulate energy, focus, memory, creativity, etc. Caffeine is perhaps the most well-known nootropic, but most people don't realize it's a nootropic! At NAPJITSU, we only use natural nootropics, ie herbs, plants, amino acids and vitamins.

How long did the research and development phases take and when did you first launch NAPJITSU´s product selection?

We have registered dietitians and PhDs on the team, and it took ~6 months to refine and source the formulas for our products. Bringing them to market has been a bit trickier, given the global supply chain issues, but we're glad to get NOW, NAP and REST into the hands of consumers, and more products are coming soon!

What are the main differences between NOW, NAP and REST and how can I know which one suits me best?

It's a great question — there's a NAPJITSU for every situation. NOW is for instant energy — those time when you might otherwise reach for coffee or an energy drink. It has time-released caffeine (equivalent to 1.5 cups of coffee) and 12 other nootropics to sharpen your brain and bring your mind into focus. NAP is for power naps — but it turns out you don't actually need to fall asleep to reap the benefits of a "nap," which is great news for all those people who say they're "not nappers." The idea with NAP is that the nootropics recharge your brain while you lay down, and then the caffeine hits around 30 min in (the ideal nap length), so you wake up and you're ready to go, without feeling foggy. I swear it works. And REST is for longer stretches of sleep — it has zero caffeine but 1850 mg nootropics, which help you relax into sleep and give your brain a bunch of juicy benefits so you wake up feeling refreshed and recharged. I love REST for flights and for those middle-of-the-night wakeups. And as I said, there are more products coming soon!

What if I can´t get enough sleep, will NAPJITSU´s products still give me the edge I need?

Yes, that's the beauty of our nootropic stacks! The hormone adenosine is what makes you feel sleepy — it builds up in your brain throughout the day. NAPJITSU helps to eradicate adenosine from your brain, which speeds up your response time and makes you think sharper and faster.
