ALPHORA FOKUS is a thoughtful supplement for people who have to think for a living — formulated with citicoline, L-theanine, rhodiola, ginseng, caffeine and activated B-vitamins.
Caffeine alone creates a short spike — followed by jitters, elevated heart rate, and a 2pm crash.
"Nootropic" stacks are usually underdosed or padded with ingredients without published evidence.
Energy drinks deliver sugar and taurine in quantities that hinder cognitive work more than help it.
ALPHORA FOKUS combines six actives at doses studied in the literature, in a 1:2 ratio that puts balance over kick.
60 capsules. One month's supply. Take two in the morning — or one before the afternoon dip.
Our premium focus supplement combines six synergistic actives at scientifically grounded doses. The included nutrients contribute to normal psychological function¹ and normal nervous system function².

Niko Hems and Lennart Bittner founded ALPHORA in Hamburg because they couldn't find a product that met their own bar.
"We kept finding products that disappointed us — underdosed, without any synergistic logic, or with ingredients that didn't earn their place. We wanted to do better."

A focus booster is a supplement for days when concentration counts. ALPHORA FOKUS combines citicoline, L-theanine, rhodiola rosea, Korean ginseng, caffeine and activated B-vitamins in a formula built on moderate doses rather than maximum kick. Vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to normal psychological function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Citicoline is an endogenous compound and a precursor to phosphatidylcholine — a key component of brain-cell membranes. ALPHORA FOKUS uses 250 mg per daily serving — the amount most frequently described in the literature.
Ideally in the morning or early afternoon, at the start of a work or study session. The caffeine is fully absorbed after about 30 to 60 minutes and has a half-life of around five hours, so better not in the evening. Citicoline, ginseng and rhodiola are meant for regular use and have mostly been studied over several weeks.
We deliberately use a moderate 100 mg of caffeine, about one cup of filter coffee, instead of the 200 to 300 mg found in many boosters. Less caffeine means less of a peak to come down from. It is paired with 200 mg of L-theanine in the classic 1:2 ratio, a combination frequently studied together.
Yes — all ingredients are 100% plant-based. The capsule shell is HPMC. Gluten-free, soy-free, no artificial additives.
