Signal State Core
One stimulant-free daily formula for the deep-work hours: four named cognitive actives, no proprietary blends, with the evidence and studied dose range behind every one a single click away.

Where this stands
Signal State Core is a pre-launch product concept. The formula is not final, and all product language here is a working direction subject to regulatory and legal review. It is not label copy or advertising copy.
The state it's built for
You know the difference between busy and clear. Core is designed for the second one: the long, quiet block where deep work actually happens, without a caffeine spike that borrows the afternoon to pay for the morning. Stimulant-free by design: no jolt, no crash, just support for calm, sustained focus.
No caffeine and no stimulant positioning. Designed for calm, sustained focus rather than a spike and a crash.
Every ingredient is named on its own line rather than pooled into a blend total, so each one can be checked against the research it cites.
Each active earns its place with a studied role, a studied dose range, and an evidence grade, all published on its own page.
Language stays inside what the evidence supports, and all of it remains subject to regulatory and legal review.
Who it's for
Core is a single stimulant-free formula, not a personalized blend, but different work puts weight on different actives. Here's how the same formula maps to the way your days actually run, with the evidence one click away.
The day is one or two long, demanding blocks (writing, engineering, analysis), where the goal is settled, sustained attention, and a caffeine spike-and-crash cycle works against you.
Where Core puts the weight
The day is context-switching under pressure (decisions, meetings, fires), where the failure mode is stress-related fatigue by mid-afternoon rather than a lack of raw focus.
Where Core puts the weight
The work is reading, retaining, and recalling over weeks (a semester or a research cycle), plus long same-day study blocks that reward staying settled and attentive.
Where Core puts the weight
Studied roles, not promised outcomes. Every grade and dose is on the ingredient page.
Compare us to anything
These four questions are the checklist we teach on the buyer's guide, and the one we expect to be judged by. Hold any competitor to them. Here is how Core holds up.
Core: every active is graded against published human research (trials and meta-analyses where they exist), with the citations on its ingredient page.
Core: each active is specified at its own studied dose in the working formula, checked dose-for-dose against the research it cites. We published a real label-versus-study teardown so you can see the gap this closes.
Core: no proprietary blends, ever. Every milligram will be disclosed on the label. A blend that hides its doses can't be evaluated at all.
Core: published per ingredient (interactions, side effects, and who should be careful) before anyone is asked to buy.

The formula
Four stimulant-free cognitive actives, each at its own disclosed studied dose. No proprietary blend, and no passenger ingredients: every active is dosed to carry its own claim. Each links to a full plain-English breakdown: evidence grade, studied doses, honest cautions, and what to look for on a label.
Foundational base layer
Vitamin D3 and a B-complex support the foundations cognition runs on (vitamin D status and normal nervous-system function), so the actives aren't layered over a gap. We're deliberate about what these are: foundational nutrients, not cognitive actives, and they carry no cognition claim.
