AZOTH is a nootropic stack developed to improve memory, focus, and keep your brain healthy. With 5 potent ingredients and an affordable price seems like a great brain supplement for boosting brainpower. But is it effective? Check out my complete AZOTH nootropic review.
Azoth Review
AZOTH is a nootropic supplement that contains a mix of popular nootropics designed to increase memory, motivation, focus, and confidence without a crash.
Compared to many competitors’ supplements, AZOTH promises mental clarity without the use of stimulants. It also contains a unique compound, Theacrine (as TeaCrine), which works like a stimulant.
Currently, you can find AZOTH 3.0 edition on the market. I had a chance to test the previous versions, and just recently, I also came across its third edition.
Is AZOTH 3.0 the best brain supplement on the market? And is it safe?
My Experience With AZOTH
Will all the know-how we have at Your Inception, my team and I can quickly analyze and evaluate a nootropic supplement without even testing it. But I still prefer testing nootropic supplements to see how effective they are in real life.
So here is my experience with AZOTH 3.0.
Based on the brand recommendations, I started my test by taking 2 capsules per day. I took the capsules in the morning with food.
Based on the ingredients, I didn’t expect anything special to happen. And I was right. I didn’t get any special energy boost, nor did the supplement boost my mood, focus, or attention. At least not the first day.
After a few days of taking the supplement, I started feeling some benefits – I felt like I had no brain fog, and I could think clearer for a longer period.
I still missed some kind of a boost, but I was happy that I could at least feel some effect.
Then I decided to double the dosage to 4 capsules per day. Based on the nootropics’ dosages, the 4 capsules per day are still safe to take but should deliver stronger benefits.
And that was a great idea!
When I took 4 capsules, the effects were more noticeable, especially after working on my daily tasks for a few hours. I was focused for a longer period and generally felt more productive.
There was still no energy boost, but overall, I like the effects.
Azoth Ingredients
AZOTH is manufactured in the US (Georgia) in a cGMP Certified, FDA-Registered facility.
They use 100% vegetarian capsules.
Here is the list of all ingredients in AZOTH 2.0:
- Organic Lion’s Mane Mushroom Extract (250 mg)
- Organic Cordyceps Mushroom Extract (250 mg)
- Theacrine – TeaCrine® (100 mg)
- Alpha-GPC (150 mg)
- L-Tyrosine (250 mg)
Here you can learn more about some of the crucial ingredients in AZOTH.
Theacrine
TeaCrine® is a patent-pending compound containing pure theacrine, which has molecular similarities to caffeine. [*] However, unlike caffeine, theacrine provides energy-boosting effects without the jitters, the crash, and the habituation that often accompany caffeine consumption. [*]
We still lack human clinical trials to confirm the efficacy and safety of theacrine.
Alpha-GPC
Alpha GPC is a water-soluble chemical that improves signal transmission within the brain and directly increases the synthesis and secretion of acetylcholine. [*] Raising the levels of acetylcholine causes the brain to form more connections rapidly and increases the speed at which the mind can process new and existing information. [*]
150 mg of Alpha-GPC is a relatively low dosage.
L-Tyrosine
L-Tyrosine increases brain neurotransmitter concentrations and suppress rises in cortisol and norepinephrine depletion. [*] This has the effect of severely reducing stress during times of high pressure, increasing reaction time, and augmenting awareness and cognition during periods of deep sleep or nutrient deprivation. [*]
250 mg of L-Tyrosine is too low to get the benefits of this amino acid.
Lion’s Mane mushroom
Lion’s Mane mushroom (Yamabushitake) is a dietary supplement that works as an immunomodulator. It is also a potent cognitive enhancer. [*] With its two special compounds, hericenones and erinacines, it appears to boost mental functioning. [*] It also reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression. [*] Lastly, it is a potent source of antioxidants. [*]
250 mg of Lion’s Mane mushroom is way below the studied daily dosage.
Cordyceps Mushroom
Cordyceps is a mushroom used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat kidney disease, fatigue, and sickness. [*] Cordyceps is a potent antioxidant and has anti-aging properties. [*] It is also a potent anti-inflammatory supplement. [*] Other potential benefits include better heart health, improved type 2 diabetes, and anti-tumor effects.
Not only is the dosage of cordyceps very low, but it is also an atypical nootropic for brain performance.
What I like In The Formula
AZOTH contains a few potent nootropics like Alpha-GPC, Lion’s Mane mushroom, and L-Tyrosine. Because of these nootropics, you can expect the positive effects and benefits from AZOTH.
However, there are many things that I’d like to see improved in AZOTH.
What I Would Like To See Improved
Theacrine is an underresearched compound, so it is a bit risker to take in the long term. The dosages of most compounds are too low, which results in weaker effects.
Also, I miss potent nootropics like some adaptogen herbs, l-theanine, citicoline, etc.
Lastly, they could add N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine instead of L-Tyrosine due to its better bioavailability.
Azoth Benefits
AZOTH was developed to provide the following benefits:
- Reach peak cognitive performance – with AZOTH, you should be able to think deeper and process information faster
- Boost your confidence and motivation – AZOTH may stabilize your dopamine levels to maximize motivation and confidence.
- Keep your brain healthy – AZOTH contains nootropics that slow down cognitive decline.
Based on my experience and product review, I don’t believe AZOTH can deliver all mentioned benefits.
Azoth Suggested Use
The recommended daily dosage is 2 capsules per day. Based on my review and research, I recommend taking 4 capsules per day. Of course, this doubles the price of AZOTH, but that’s what it takes to get the benefits of this brain supplement.
Take capsules in the morning with or after food for the best results.
Side Effects
During my test period, I didn’t experience any side effects. By taking 2-4 capsules per day, you are on the safe side.
Of course, to be 100% safe, consult your doctor before supplementing AZOTH.
Also, generally, it’s hard to build up a tolerance to a particular supplement. However, in the case of AZOTH, I’m not really sure since we lack data on Teacrine. Until more is known, please be careful.
Azoth Reviews
During my review process, I also searched for reviews of actual users. Unexpected, I found reviews in a few respected magazines like:
Yahoo Finance – AZOTH 2.0 is for anyone and everyone seeking to maximize their time and productivity.
Street Insider – AZOTH is positioning itself as a leader in Nootropic market.
Daily Chronicle – In a marketplace full of pretenders backed not by the quality and dosage of ingredients, but by fancy marketing campaigns, AZOTH 2.0 stands unique.
But I also found many negative reviews of actual users as well. Most negative reviews were about the weak effects of this supplement, and sadly, some suffered from the adverse side effects.
Well, before you decided to buy it, please read my final verdict.
Where Can You Buy AZOTH?

It currently costs $44.98, but with the code YOURINCEPTION, you can get an additional 15% discount.
Verdict
Your Inception does not recommend buying AZOTH. We liked the first edition of AZOTH, and we loved the 2nd edition. But with the 3rd edition, the quality dramatically decreased.
The ingredients are under-dosed, and the formula lacks potent nootropics to deliver on its promises.
Until the new version comes on the market, we’ll stick to one of our top-rated nootropic stacks.
From the Netherlands here – AZOTH 2.0 works as claimed. Steady focus, no crash, and is the perfect addition for anyone looking for a stim-free boost.
Far superior better than any of the other nootropics out there, and likely the best one out there. On bottle #5.
Hi Joris, thanks for your feedback. I’m happy you are satisfied with the results of AZOTH! We love it too! :)
Strong write-up. Def my most favorite nootropic right now – cured my depression and anxiety. Changed my life. Need this in Germany!!!
Hi Dennis, thanks for your feedback! I’m happy you are satisfied with Azoth! :)
Well done! Purchased a few bottles of AZOTH at my local store earlier and saw this review. Really strong study and focus. Got me hooked. Any reason this is not in your top nootropics for 2017?
Hi Jean-Pierre. Thanks for your positive feedback! The main reason is that I only received Azoth around December last year, so basically I cannot put it in the top 5 of 2017, since I only finished the test in 2018 :) But as it looks like, it’ll definitely be among top 5 in 2018!
