The pros use this. Does your child have the same edge?

There is exactly one NSF Certified brain-first formula trusted at the highest level of professional sport. Five clinically-backed ingredients. One scoop a day. Most parents find out about it too late.

“I spent two weeks researching brain health supplements for my son. Every other product failed on either ingredients, dosing or certification. Headstrong was the only one that passed every test. He’s been on it for three months. His focus at practice is different. His coaches have noticed.”

What parents like you
are saying.

Parents of high-level athletes who looked at everything on the market and chose Headstrong.

★★★★★

“My son is a top-ranked 16U forward with three D1 schools tracking him. I was not going to give him anything that wasn’t third-party certified. NSF is the same standard the NHL requires. That made the decision very easy.”

LARRY S. — MEParent of a 16U Hockey Player · Verified buyer
★★★★★

“I’m a registered nurse. I read every study I could find on all five ingredients before ordering. This is not a hype product. The clinical evidence is real. Three months in, my daughter is sharper in the fourth quarter than I have ever seen her.”

Janet W. — TX, RNParent of a D1 Point Guard · Verified buyer
★★★★★

“Forty dollars a month is nothing compared to what we spend on food, equipment and travel. When I found out NFL players were already using this and most parents had never heard of it, I ordered immediately. This is the easiest decision in his training program.”

Why Headstrong exists

Built by a scientist.
Demanded by a pro athlete.

Headstrong was not invented in a boardroom. It was built because one professional athlete lived the brain health gap from the inside — and a PhD sports scientist had the evidence to close it.

🔬 Co-Founder  ·  Chief Science Officer
Dr. Darren Burke
PhD, Sport & Exercise Science

Darren spent two decades in elite sports nutrition research before building Headstrong. He previously founded and scaled a sports nutrition company to category leader — not by following trends, but by following the peer-reviewed evidence.

Every ingredient in Headstrong was selected on one criterion: does the clinical evidence justify its inclusion? No proprietary blends. No label dressing. No ingredient that couldn’t withstand scientific scrutiny. The NSF Certified for Sport standard was non-negotiable from day one.

“I’ve reviewed hundreds of formulas. Most are underdosed, unverified, or both. Headstrong was built to be the product I would give my own child — nothing added, nothing compromised.”

Professional Hockey Player  ·  Co-Founder

Evan Nause did not build Headstrong because it was a good business idea. He built it because he was living the problem and nothing on the market could help him.

As an active professional hockey player, Evan experienced firsthand what sustained physical demands do to the brain. Brain fog that didn’t clear. Mental fatigue that outlasted physical recovery. A decline in sharpness and focus that no recovery protocol, no supplement, no training adaptation could touch.

He spent years searching for a product that took brain health seriously at the same level that sports science takes physical performance. It did not exist. No formula addressed the brain directly. Nothing was clinically dosed. Nothing was independently certified.

“I knew exactly what I was feeling and I couldn’t find a single product built to address it. So we built one. Every athlete at every level deserves this.”

The only brain-first formula

Every other formula stops at the body.
We start with the brain.

Most sports nutrition was designed to build muscle, boost energy, or speed recovery. Headstrong was designed for something no other brand has built for: the organ that controls all of it.

What’s in every scoop

Five ingredients.
Each earning its place.

No proprietary blends. No underdosed fillers. Every ingredient at its clinically-studied dose, independently verified by NSF Certified for Sport.

i
Creatine Monohydrate

Full 5g clinical dose — the most researched performance compound in sports science. Fuels ATP in muscle and brain. Emerging research supports direct neuroprotective effects.

5g Dose
ii
Lion’s Mane Mushroom

Studied for nerve growth factor support, memory and everyday cognitive performance. The differentiator no other creatine formula includes — and the reason Headstrong protects the brain.

Brain Hero
iii
Ashwagandha KSM-66®

The gold-standard branded extract. Clinically studied to reduce cortisol and stabilise mood. Consistent mental performance across a full competitive season.

KSM-66®
iv
NAC — N-Acetyl Cysteine

Precursor to glutathione, the body’s primary antioxidant. Supports the brain’s resilience against oxidative stress from contact sport and high-intensity training.

NAC
v
L-Tyrosine

Precursor to dopamine and norepinephrine. Maintains focus and decision-making under physical fatigue — the mental side of the fourth quarter.

Questions answered

What parents ask.

Yes. Every ingredient has an established safety profile backed by peer-reviewed research. The product is NSF Certified for Sport — the same standard required by most professional leagues and NCAA programs. Creatine monohydrate has one of the longest safety records in sports nutrition. Consult your healthcare provider if your child has underlying conditions or is on medication.

Because no other brand has combined a brain-specific ingredient stack — Creatine, Lion’s Mane, NAC, Ashwagandha, L-Tyrosine — at clinical doses, under NSF Certified for Sport. Other brands may use one or two of these ingredients, but not at clinical doses, not combined for brain health, and not with independent certification. That combination does not exist anywhere else in the market.

NSF independently tests for banned substances from the WADA list, heavy metals, microbiological contaminants, and verifies that what is stated on the label is accurately present at the stated dose. The manufacturing facility is also audited. It is the most rigorous certification in sports nutrition.

Headstrong contains five ingredients, not one. Purchasing each separately at clinically-studied doses typically costs $80–120 per month with no NSF Certification. At $39.99 with a subscription you are getting the complete certified formula. You are not paying more for creatine — you are paying for four additional clinically-backed ingredients and the verification standard most brands cannot match.

Most athletes notice improvements in focus, mood and training consistency within two to four weeks of daily use. Creatine’s performance benefits become apparent after full saturation at three to four weeks. The full effect builds over a complete training block or season.

No stimulants. No caffeine. Nothing that disrupts sleep. Ashwagandha is studied for supporting the stress response and recovery, which can support sleep quality. It can be taken at any time of day.

Your first tub ships immediately. You are billed $39.99 monthly and a fresh tub ships automatically. Skip, pause or cancel any time before the next billing date. No fees, no phone call required. Managed entirely through your account.
