What is Essentials Plus and who is it for?
Essentials Plus is a multi-ingredient nootropic capsule containing eight botanical and nutritional compounds, each dosed at amounts referenced in clinical research. It’s designed for people who want a structured, caffeine-free approach to cognitive wellness support as part of their daily routine, without having to source and manage multiple separate supplements.
You might consider this if you’re in a demanding phase of life, whether that’s professional, academic, or personal, and you’re looking for a well-formulated daily stack rather than a single-ingredient product. It’s also a practical option if you want to keep your caffeine intake separate and flexible, since the formula contains no stimulants.
Fairfield Nutrition Thoughts
Multi-ingredient nootropic stacks occupy an interesting space in supplementation. The challenge with most is that they combine too many ingredients at doses too low to do much, relying on marketing rather than formulation. Essentials Plus takes a different approach by listing exact amounts for all eight ingredients and referencing clinical dosages, which makes it easier to evaluate what you’re actually getting.
Why This Formulation / How It Works
The main thing that distinguishes Essentials Plus from most nootropic blends is transparency around dosing. Many multi-ingredient supplements use proprietary blends, which means the total blend weight is listed but individual ingredient amounts are hidden. This makes it impossible to assess whether you’re getting a meaningful dose of anything. Essentials Plus lists every ingredient and its exact amount, and the manufacturer states these align with dosages used in clinical research for each compound. The formula is also stimulant-free, which matters if you want to manage your caffeine intake separately or are sensitive to stimulants.
The formula is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility in New Zealand and third-party tested for purity and heavy metals. These are standard quality benchmarks worth confirming in any supplement you take regularly.
Adaptogenic Herbs and Stress Resilience Pathways
Three of the eight ingredients, Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Bacopa monnieri, and Rhodiola rosea, are classified as adaptogens, meaning they’ve been used traditionally and studied for their role in supporting the body’s response to physiological stress. Ashwagandha has been used in Ayurvedic practice for over 3,000 years and is studied for its effects on cortisol pathways. Bacopa contains active compounds called bacosides, which are involved in synaptic communication and neuronal signalling. Rhodiola has a long history in Scandinavian and Russian traditional medicine for cognitive wellness during periods of fatigue.
Cholinergic and Neuroprotective Compounds
CDP-choline (citicoline) is a precursor to phosphatidylcholine, a key structural component of neuronal cell membranes. It’s involved in acetylcholine synthesis, a neurotransmitter with a well-established role in attention and memory processes. Lion’s Mane mushroom extract contains compounds including hericenones and erinacines, which in preclinical research have been shown to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis. NZ Pine Bark extract (Enzogenol) is rich in proanthocyanidins and provides antioxidant activity in vascular and neural tissue. L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, is involved in modulating alpha brain wave activity and is frequently paired with caffeine in research, though it’s also used independently for its calming properties. Panax ginseng rounds out the formula with adaptogenic and cognitive wellness properties studied in human trials.
When to Consider This
This formula provides nutritional support for cognitive wellness. It makes sense if you’re:
- In a high-demand professional or academic period where sustained mental focus is a daily priority
- Over 40 and interested in incorporating botanicals traditionally associated with long-term cognitive wellness into your routine
- Looking to consolidate a multi-herb nootropic stack into a single daily product rather than managing several separate supplements
- Sensitive to stimulants or wanting to keep caffeine intake separate and flexible
Supplement strategy: Many people introduce a product like this after establishing foundational nutrition, including adequate dietary protein, omega-3 intake, and basic micronutrient sufficiency. It’s commonly used as a standalone daily stack or alongside a foundational supplement routine. Some people cycle adaptogens, taking breaks every few months, though this is a matter of personal preference rather than a firm requirement.
⚠️ Not suitable for: Pregnancy, breastfeeding. Consult your healthcare professional before use if you are taking medications (particularly blood thinners, thyroid medications, or sedatives), have an autoimmune condition, or are scheduled for surgery.
How to Use
Take 2 capsules each morning, with or without food. Each 2-capsule serving delivers the full ingredient profile listed below. The manufacturer recommends daily consistent use, noting that while some people notice effects within the first few hours, the adaptogenic and neuroprotective compounds are designed for cumulative benefit with regular use over at least 30 days.
Each bottle contains 60 capsules, providing a 30-day supply at the recommended dose. The formula is caffeine-free, so it can be taken alongside your regular coffee or tea without concern about stimulant stacking.

Common Questions
How long before I notice anything?
Some people notice effects on focus and mental energy within the first couple of hours, particularly from L-theanine and Panax ginseng. The adaptogenic and neuroprotective compounds, like Ashwagandha, Bacopa, and Lion’s Mane, are studied for cumulative effects with consistent use over weeks rather than immediate results. The manufacturer recommends at least 30 days of daily use to assess the full benefit.
Can I take this with my morning coffee?
Yes. The formula contains no caffeine or stimulants, so it’s designed to be taken alongside your regular coffee or tea without concern about overstimulation or jitter effects.
Is there research behind these ingredients?
Yes, though the research profile varies by ingredient. Bacopa monnieri, Ashwagandha, L-theanine, and Rhodiola rosea each have human clinical trial data supporting their use in cognitive wellness contexts. Lion’s Mane has strong preclinical data and emerging human studies. CDP-choline has a substantial research base in neurological contexts. The manufacturer states dosages are matched to amounts used in clinical research, which is a meaningful distinction from many blends that underdose.
Can I take this if I’m on medication?
Some of the adaptogenic herbs in this formula, particularly Ashwagandha and Rhodiola, may interact with thyroid medications, sedatives, or blood thinners. Check with your healthcare professional before starting if you’re on any regular medications.

Brand
Simply Nootropics
Simply Nootropics Supplements Australia
Simply Nootropics is a New Zealand-based supplement brand with products available in Australia, focused on cognitive performance, sleep support, and cellular health. Their range is compact by design - four formulas addressing distinct functions, each built around ingredients with a meaningful research profile.
What distinguishes Simply Nootropics is the decision to pair nootropic formulas with longevity-relevant ingredients - specifically nicotinamide riboside (NR), a precursor to NAD+ (a molecule central to cellular energy production that declines with age). The result is a range suited to health-conscious adults who want a small number of well-reasoned products rather than a large catalogue to navigate.
| Product Range | Primary Application |
|---|---|
| Cognitive support | Daily mental performance and focus |
| Sleep support | Evening wind-down and sleep quality |
| Collagen and cellular energy | Skin structure support and NAD+ precursor supplementation |
| B vitamins and TMG | Foundational B-vitamin coverage and metabolic support |
Simply Nootropics is one of the few brands in this space that treats cognitive support and cellular energy as connected priorities rather than separate product categories.
Key principle: Clear cognitive function depends on more than stimulation - sleep quality, adequate B vitamins, and cellular energy production all contribute, and Simply Nootropics structures their range to address each of these individually.
The Simply Nootropics range at Fairfield Nutrition
| Product | Best For | Key Ingredient(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Vital Beauty - Collagen + NR | Skin structure support and cellular energy | Hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides (Type I, II, III), nicotinamide riboside (NR) |
| Essentials Plus | Daily cognitive support and mental performance | Ashwagandha, Bacopa monnieri, CDP-choline, L-theanine, Lion's Mane, Panax ginseng |
| TMG B-Complex | Foundational B-vitamin support and metabolic maintenance | Trimethylglycine (TMG), activated B vitamins |
| Genius Sleep | Evening wind-down and sleep quality | Reishi mushroom extract, L-theanine, L-tryptophan |
The starting point depends on the primary gap: Essentials Plus for daily cognitive support, Genius Sleep if sleep quality is the main concern, and TMG B-Complex as a foundational layer for those with higher B-vitamin requirements. Vital Beauty is a powder formula combining hydrolysed collagen with NR - suited for use on its own or alongside the other products in the range.
Why shop Simply Nootropics at Fairfield Nutrition
We don't stock everything - we stock what we'd use. Simply Nootropics products are stocked at Fairfield because they combine well-researched nootropic ingredients with longevity-relevant compounds at doses that reflect the underlying science, not marketing conventions.
The inclusion of nicotinamide riboside (NR) in the Vital Beauty formula reflects a formulation decision that goes beyond standard collagen supplementation. NR supports the cellular energy processes that drive skin cell function and general tissue maintenance - pairing the visible goal with a mechanism that addresses what underlies it. That kind of ingredient logic is consistent with how we select products for the Fairfield range.
Their cognitive stack uses a combination of adaptogens and direct cognitive substrates rather than stimulants - which suits adults who want sustained support rather than a short-term performance boost. Everything ships from Melbourne. No international delays, no customs surprises. If something is out of stock, we tell you.
All Simply Nootropics products stocked at Fairfield Nutrition are shown below.
As a supplement for sleep support, we recommend taking 1-2 capsules (400 – 800 mg) of Magnesium Glycinate in the evening about an hour before bed with or without food. While higher doses can be taken safely Double Wood don’t recommend exceeding 4 capsules per day.
Magnesium Glycinate consists of 15% elemental magnesium by weight, so each 400 mg capsule contains 60 mg of elemental magnesium.
