Your day runs on your memory
Every demanding day asks your brain to take in, hold and bring back more than it did the day before.
Why Cellavara exists
Built for how memory actually works
The supplement aisle is crowded with focus pills. Many lean on heavy doses of caffeine and other stimulants that can leave you jittery, wired at bedtime and crashing by afternoon. Some pile on megadoses of vitamins, like B6, that can cause problems of their own over time. Others hide underdosed ingredients in proprietary blends, so you can’t tell what you’re getting.
Building your own stack means guessing across a dozen bottles. Cellavara did that work for you.
Cellavara Core is an original formula, designed from scratch by an MD who understands the demands of high-stakes work and how the brain takes in, stores and recalls information. Every ingredient was chosen because of published human research and dosed from that research: botanical extracts, a mushroom blend, and nutrients like magnesium, choline and creatine that your body already makes or uses. No artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no added stimulants.
It starts at the cell
Memory depends on brain cells having the energy to form and strengthen connections. Core is built around that process, pairing ingredients studied for how the brain delivers, stores and uses energy with ingredients studied for memory itself.*
Timed to your day and your night
You take in information while you’re awake, and your body converts it to long-term memory while you sleep. So the formula is split in two: a morning packet for learning, and an evening packet that supports restful sleep, working with your body’s own overnight process of retention.*
No stimulant spike
No added stimulants, no megadosed vitamins. Nothing in the morning packet works against your sleep that night.
One system, not a cabinet
Ten ingredients at the doses that were studied, in two sealed packets a day, instead of a dozen bottles and guesswork.
Not more stimulation. Better support for the work your brain is already doing.*
Built from the research forward
Many supplements start with a trend and borrow a study to support it. Every Cellavara formula starts with the human research and meets the same four standards.
Doses that match the studies
Each ingredient is used at the amount tested in published human research, and we show both numbers side by side.
Every lot tested and published
An accredited independent lab will test each batch for strength, heavy metals and microbes, and you’ll be able to look up your lot’s results online.
Named ingredients, no blends
Cognizin® citicoline, Magtein® and standardized botanical extracts, with every amount on the label. No proprietary blends.
Timed to how the body works
Morning ingredients for learning, evening ingredients for sleep, each packet taken when it absorbs best.
The real ingredient, at the real dose
Two supplements can list the same ingredient and be nothing alike. The form, the source and the amount decide whether you’re getting what was studied. Here’s how we make sure you are.
See every dose next to the dose that was studied
The form that was studied
Where the research used a specific branded ingredient, we use that one: Cognizin® citicoline, Magtein® magnesium L-threonate and affron® saffron. Not a generic stand-in with a similar name.
No cheaper substitutes
If an ingredient can’t meet our specification, we wait. We don’t swap in a cheaper form, cut the dose or hide it in a blend to hit a price.
Verified before it’s used
Every ingredient lot will arrive with a certificate of analysis, and its identity will be tested before it goes into production.
Potency through the last day
Each finished lot will be tested for strength by an independent lab, and the expiration date will be set so the capsules meet their label amounts through that date, not just the day they’re made.
Packed to protect it
Each day’s capsules will be sealed in a foil-lined packet with the oxygen removed, shielding them from air, light and moisture, the main causes of breakdown.
Clean, and tested for what shouldn’t be there
Plant-based capsules, no rice fillers, no artificial colors. Every lot will be tested for lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury and microbes.
The forms we use, and why
| Ingredient | What we use | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Lion’s Mane | SO-DSX1 fruiting body and mycelium blend | The same Lion’s Mane, at the same 1.8 g, used in the study of healthy adults 18–45 |
| Citicoline | Cognizin® | The branded form used in the memory and attention studies |
| Cocoa flavanols | Standardized cocoa extract | The studies measured flavanols, not cocoa powder, so we dose the flavanols: 500 mg |
| PQQ | PQQ disodium salt | The form used in the human studies |
| Vitamin C | Ascorbic acid | An essential nutrient, at 222% of the Daily Value |
| Magnesium | Magtein® magnesium L-threonate | The patented form used in the human sleep and cognition studies |
| L-theanine | Pure L-theanine | The amino acid used in the calm and sleep-quality studies, at the same 200 mg |
| Bacopa | Standardized extract | Standardized to its active bacosides, like the extracts that were studied |
| Saffron | affron® | The extract used in the sleep studies, at the same 28 mg |
| Creatine | Creatine monohydrate | The form used in nearly all creatine research |
One system for the three stages of memory
You take in new information during the day, your brain files it while you sleep, and you bring it back when it counts.
1Learn
AM packet, with breakfast
For the hours you take in new information: meetings, code reviews, case files, study blocks.
2Store
PM packet, 1 hour before bed
Sleep is when the day’s learning moves into long-term memory. The PM packet supports restful sleep and is designed to work with your body’s natural overnight rhythm, not against it.*
3Recall
A scent you pair with learning
Prepare with a rosemary or peppermint scent nearby, then use the same scent before the moment you need to remember.
PM packet · Store
Your brain works the night shift
Sleep isn’t downtime. During deep sleep, the hippocampus replays the day’s new information and hands it off to long-term memory, while the brain clears out the byproducts of a full day’s work. Short or broken sleep interrupts that process, which is how a hard-won fact can be gone by morning.
- 1 hour before bed
Wind down
Take the PM packet with a light snack. L-theanine and saffron are studied for calm and sleep quality.*
- Deep sleep
File the day
Deep sleep is when memories are consolidated. Magtein® magnesium L-threonate is studied for sleep quality, and Bacopa for memory retention over weeks of use.*
- Through the night
Restock
Creatine in the PM packet supports the brain’s energy reserves, ready for the next day’s learning.*
- Morning
Ready to recall
Wake up, take the AM packet with breakfast, and start the next day of learning on a full night’s work.*
Why every box includes both packets
New memories are fragile until sleep stabilizes them. Support the learning but not the night, and you’re supporting only half of how memory works.
The AM packet is built for the hours you take in information. The PM packet supports restful sleep and works in step with your body’s own overnight processes, the hours when that information becomes memory.*
Creatine is split between the packets, 2 g in the morning and 3 g at night, so taking both is what delivers the 5 g a day used in the research.
That’s why Cellavara will be sold only as a complete AM and PM system. The AM packet supports the learning. The PM packet supports the hours when it becomes memory.*
Memory runs on energy
Your brain uses about a fifth of your body’s energy, and forming new memories is one of its most demanding jobs. The hippocampus, where new memories take shape, is especially sensitive to its energy supply.
That’s why Cellavara pairs ingredients studied for memory and sleep with ingredients that support each step of the brain’s energy supply.*

Cellavara Core Plus
Everything in Core, plus methylene blue by prescription.
Why Core Plus exists. Methylene blue has drawn wide interest for its role in cellular energy, and many people already buy it online with no medical review. Core Plus gives the people who want it a better way: checked by a licensed provider, made by a licensed pharmacy, and paired with the full Core system.
Methylene blue is a prescription medication that researchers have studied for its role in how cells produce energy in the mitochondria. Because it’s a prescription medication, not a supplement, it can’t go into a supplement packet. With Core Plus, an independent licensed provider reviews your health history online and decides whether it’s right for you.
How it will work
- Answer a few health questions online. About 10 minutes, from your phone or computer. No office visit.
- A licensed provider in your state reviews them. Through an independent telehealth network, with availability planned in all 50 states. Some states require a short video call.
- A licensed U.S. pharmacy fills it. Pharmacy-grade methylene blue, labeled for you, shipped in your Core Plus box with your Core packets.
Core Plus isn’t available yet. Join the Core Plus list to hear first when it opens, or take the quiz to see whether Core or Core Plus fits you.
Find out if methylene blue is right for you
Methylene blue for Core Plus is a compounded prescription medication. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not verify them for safety, effectiveness or quality. A prescription is written only if a licensed provider determines it’s appropriate for you. Not for use with antidepressants or other serotonergic medications, with G6PD deficiency, or during pregnancy or nursing. It may turn urine blue or green, which is harmless.
Methylene blue: the facts
Why we chose it for Core Plus, in what is known.
140+ years in medicine
First made in 1876, it was one of the first synthetic compounds used as a medicine, given for malaria in the 1890s.
An FDA-approved medication
An FDA-approved form is used in hospitals to treat methemoglobinemia, a condition in which red blood cells can’t carry oxygen properly. Methylene blue helps convert the altered hemoglobin back to its normal, oxygen-carrying form. It is also on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines.
Studied in cellular respiration
Cellular respiration is how mitochondria, the cell’s energy centers, turn food and oxygen into ATP, the energy every cell runs on. In laboratory research, methylene blue can accept and pass along electrons in the final stage of that process, the electron transport chain. That property is why researchers study it in cellular energy.
The dose matters
Its effects depend heavily on dose, and the research interest is in low doses, far below hospital doses. That’s why a licensed provider decides your dose.
Not for everyone
The FDA warns it can cause serious reactions with serotonergic medications, including many antidepressants, and it isn’t for people with G6PD deficiency or during pregnancy. That’s why Core Plus starts with a provider review.
Blue for a reason
It began as a dye, so it can tint urine blue or green for a day or so. That’s expected and harmless.
Already take methylene blue? Here’s what changes with Core Plus.
Methylene blue, held to a pharmacy standard.
Pharmacy grade, by rule
Made by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy from USP-grade methylene blue, sourced from FDA-registered suppliers, as federal compounding rules require.
Checked before it ships
A licensed provider reviews your medications and health history first, including the antidepressant interactions that matter most. Not “take at your own risk.”
Exact dose, labeled for you
Each capsule’s strength is set by your prescription and labeled with your name, sealed in a child-resistant blister card.
Part of a complete system
Core Plus pairs methylene blue with the full Core AM and PM formula, with every Core lot independently tested and the results published.
Read the label
If methylene blue says “for research use only,” “not for human consumption” or “take at your own risk,” it wasn’t made to the standards of something you swallow every day. Without testing, a product can contain less than its label says, break down with heat, light and time, or carry contaminants such as heavy metals, and there’s no way to know. Core Plus starts with USP pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue from an FDA-registered source, with a certificate of analysis, compounded by a licensed U.S. pharmacy under USP standards.
| Sold online with a disclaimer | Cellavara Core Plus | |
|---|---|---|
| Made for | Often labeled for research or “not for human consumption” | You, filled by a licensed U.S. pharmacy |
| Grade | Usually unstated | USP pharmaceutical grade from an FDA-registered source |
| Dose | Varies by the drop, or whatever the label says | Measured by a pharmacist and labeled with your prescribed dose |
| Blue mouth and teeth | Drops, yes | No, a sealed capsule |
| Medication check | None. “Take at your own risk.” | A licensed provider reviews your medications and health history first |
| Kept on its own | Not always | Always in its own sealed, pharmacy-filled blister, never mixed into a blend |
| Included | Methylene blue only | Methylene blue, the full Core AM and PM system and provider check-ins |
Why we keep it on its own
Methylene blue is a reactive compound: it reacts with common ingredients, and it’s sensitive to light. That’s why Core Plus follows rigorous protocols for this ingredient. Quality matters, which is why we offer it only through a licensed pharmacy, sealed in its own blister and kept separate from everything else, for product purity and your safety.
Pharmacy grade isn’t a marketing phrase. It means a recognized standard, a registered source and a licensed pharmacist, every time.

Questions
When does Cellavara launch?
We’re working through manufacturing and independent testing now. Waitlist members will hear first when a launch date is set, and get access before anyone else.
How soon will I notice anything?
These are daily ingredients, not stimulants. The human studies behind them ran from 4 to 12 weeks, so plan on at least four weeks of taking both packets every day.
Why packets instead of bottles?
Each day’s capsules will be sealed in a foil-lined packet with the oxygen removed, which protects the ingredients from air and moisture. Morning and night are clearly marked, so there’s nothing to count.
Does it contain caffeine?
No added caffeine. The cocoa extract in the AM packet contains small amounts of naturally occurring caffeine and theobromine.
Who should not take it?
Anyone pregnant or nursing, under 18, or with kidney disease. Cellavara will be sold only to adults 18 and over, and some states require age verification at checkout. Talk with your healthcare provider first if you take blood thinners, blood pressure, thyroid or diabetes medication, have surgery scheduled, or have any medical condition. Creatine can raise creatinine on blood tests, so let your doctor know you take it. See the safety research for every dose.
Are these doses safe?
Every ingredient in Core has been studied in healthy adults at or above our dose without serious side effects. The most common side effect is mild stomach upset, which is why the AM packet is taken with breakfast and the PM packet with a light snack. See ingredient-by-ingredient safety.
Is there a military discount?
Yes. Active-duty service members and veterans will get 10% off every order, with simple online verification at launch.
Is shipping free?
Yes. Shipping will be free on every order within the U.S. The one exception is state-required delivery rules: New York law requires an adult signature (18+) with photo ID for these orders, so New York shipments carry an adult-signature fee, shown at checkout before you pay.
What is Cellavara Core Plus?
Core Plus is the Core system plus methylene blue, a prescription medication studied for its role in cellular energy. It starts with an online evaluation by an independent licensed provider, and a licensed U.S. pharmacy fills it and ships it in your Core Plus box.
