Every dose disclosed
No proprietary blends, ever. Every ingredient in Signal State Core is disclosed at its own dose, checked against the dose the research actually studied.

A supplement company built to be checked.
Signal State Labs exists because the focus-supplement aisle is loud, vague, and hard to verify. Our answer is not louder marketing — it's a company you can audit.
Why we started
The category has an honesty problem. We think that's the opportunity.
Most focus products are sold on proprietary blends, borrowed citations, and doses that don't match the studies they point to. The people buying them — people whose work depends on clear-headed focus — deserve to see the reasoning.
Signal State Labs was started by Colby Evans, and it is deliberately founder-led: one person accountable for every claim on this site, rather than a marketing team behind a logo. The premise is simple. If a cognitive supplement is worth taking, its maker should be able to show you the evidence for every ingredient, the dose that evidence used, and the honest cautions — and should publish what didn't make the cut, not just what did.
That's why the evidence grades, the graded-out ingredients, and the public claims policy came before the product. Signal State Core is being formulated inside those constraints, not marketed around them.
How we operate
Three commitments we expect to be held to.
Evidence graded in public
Every ingredient we research gets a grade from A to Emerging against published human research — including the ones we rejected, and why.

Conservative, structure-function claims only — the same standard on this site, the label, and every email. Our claims policy is public so you can hold us to it.

Education first was a strategy decision, not a content play.
The Signal — our research and education arm — publishes plain-English, cited breakdowns of cognitive ingredients whether or not they end up in our products. If we help you evaluate any supplement honestly, including competitors', we've earned the right to be considered when ours ships.
