Mentaid: Supports Brain Health Over Time: Healthy Brain Aging

We invest in our body.
We invest in our finances.
But we overlook the one thing required to enjoy them.

Support Your Brain Health

Just like our bodies, brain aging is inevitable.
It often begins subtly, long before symptoms appear. Yet we often wait to address it until we notice a change.
The question isn’t whether it happens —
it’s whether we prepare now or wait until it’s harder to ignore.

Developed by a board-certified psychiatrist, Mentaid was created for those who want the confidence that they are taking their brain health seriously.

Dr. Erik Hanson, MD

As a psychiatrist, I’ve had countless conversations about cognitive health:

  • Some people assume it’s something to think about "later".
  • Others were already taking supplements, but were taking things with ingredients based on flimsy research but good marketing.
  • And some have begun to feel the stakes more personally, but don’t know where to begin in a market full of bold claims.

MENTAID was created as a research-informed solution designed to support healthy brain aging, for those that want to support their brain with the same seriousness they apply to their health, their future, and their appearance.

Lithium. The Foundation.
Despite being decades old, lithium has remained relevant in research on brain biology. Science doesn’t keep returning to things unless there’s something worth paying attention to.
In recent years, attention has increasingly shifted toward lithium’s role in healthy brain aging.
What’s surprising is how often this work is ignored by products claiming to support brain health.
We didn't.
We formulated with lithium, in the form of lithium orotate, based on where the science is evolving, not on what has always been done.

A few things you might be wondering
How much lithium is in Mentaid?

Our formula contains 5 mg of lithium orotate, which provides approximately 200 micrograms of elemental lithium.

To put that into context, naturally occurring lithium in some drinking water sources can reach similar levels.
Is lithium safe?

Lithium has been studied for decades.

At prescription doses, it requires monitoring. At low, supplemental doses, lithium has a very different safety profile.

We formulated conservatively and intentionally, with daily use in mind.

If you have a medical condition, especially a thyroid or kidney condition, or take medications that may interact with lithium, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider.

Why haven't other supplements included lithium?

If a product claims to support brain health but ignores lithium, it’s worth asking if they're even focused on "brain health".
I have an MTHFR variant. Can I take Mentaid?

Common MTHFR gene variants are present in many people.

The CDC states:

"You may have heard that if you have an MTHFR variant, you should avoid folic acid and should take other types of folate, such as 5-MTHF. However, this is not true. People with an MTHFR gene variant can process all types of folate, including folic acid."

Large clinical studies evaluating B vitamins for cognitive support have commonly used non-methylated forms. These forms have decades of safety and research behind them.

For this formula, we selected forms supported by strong clinical evidence and safety data. If you have a diagnosed metabolic disorder or specific medical concerns, consult your healthcare professional.
Why does Mentaid use Magnesium Glycinate? I thought Magnesium L-threonate was associated with brain health?

Magnesium L-threonate has been studied in early research for its potential to increase magnesium levels in the brain. However, when developing a formula for brain health, we selected magnesium glycinate for its high bioavailability, excellent tolerability, and broad support of healthy nervous system function.*
Why didn't Mentaid include ______ ?

Every ingredient in Mentaid was selected based on the strength and quality of available human clinical research. While many ingredients show promise in preclinical or animal studies, human outcomes do not always mirror early findings.

We prioritize well-designed human trials, safety and tolerability data, and how each ingredient functions within a cohesive formulation.

We continuously review emerging research and will refine the formula if and when new, high-quality human evidence supports it.
Thoroughly Tested

Doctor-backed, Research-backed

We take product quality and responsibility seriously. Here’s what you can expect from every formulation:

  • Formulated using research-informed ingredient selection and dosing by a board-certified, practicing physician.
  • Thoroughly tested at multiple stages of manufacturing.
  • Every batch is tested for microbial contaminants, heavy metals, and purity, and comes with a Certificate of Analysis.
  • Manufactured in the United States in FDA-registered facilities that follow current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).
