About

Valentino’s Naturals reviews nootropics and brain supplements one at a time: what is in the capsule, how the doses compare with the studies, and what a day of it costs. We also write about meditation, sleep and the habits that do more for focus than any pill.

What we cover

  • Supplements: the label read against the research, with the doses the studies used.
  • Brain fitness and meditation: practical guides to focus, memory and staying in the present moment.
  • Lifestyle: from the Wim Hof Method to intermittent fasting, what the evidence does and does not show.

Who writes it

A note on our names: Valentino’s Naturals is written by a small team under pen names, one name for each job. Valentino M. is the name on our supplement reviews, and you will see Brad Davis on many of them too.

We are not doctors, pharmacists or dietitians, and a review is not a clinical trial or medical advice. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you start a supplement, above all if you take medication, are pregnant or have a health condition.

How a review is made

  • We read the label first: every ingredient, its dose and its form.
  • We compare each dose with the doses used in published studies, and say when a formula is underdosed or hides behind a proprietary blend.
  • We work out the price per day, so bottles of different sizes compare fairly.
  • We say what the evidence does not show. A review is a reading of the label and the research, not a trial.

How this site pays for itself

Valentino’s Naturals is reader-supported: if you buy through a link here we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. A review or post a brand paid for says so in its first line.
