From Fillers to Flow Agents: What Makes A Clean Label Nootropic
2 min read

Essentials
- Genuine clean label nootropics should steer clear of artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, and other potentially harmful additives.
- True clean label nootropics should only contain necessary active nutrients and avoid unnecessary fillers, binders, or additives.
When selecting a nootropic, nutrient transparency matters more than you might think. It's where a clean-label nootropic can stand out. Because, in the end, why would you even consider taking a product loaded with a bunch of fillers (that typically offer little or no nutritional value)?*
HCF®'s commitment to clean-label assures that our advanced nootropics are free of harmful additives.*
What makes a 'clean-label' nootropic?
You have probably heard or read about 'clean-label.' It's a term that has gained much popularity across many sectors of the nootropics (and food) industry. While it has no strict regulatory definition, it generally refers to nootropics made with a minimal and transparent ingredient list.
In fact, many consumers today seek 'clean-label' products because of their ingredient transparency. Many health-conscious consumers want to know exactly what they put in their bodies.
The HCF® difference.
Clean label and transparency are about fully understanding what you put into your body. But clean label is not just a trend for us. Because we don’t want to be JUST trend-friendly. We are science-driven and passionate about the entire brain system (head, heart, and gut) and how the interconnected trio of our all three intelligence centers work together for true cognitive restoration.
HCF’s® commitment to clean-label products ensures that our advanced nootropics are free of artificial dyes, sweeteners, colors, and other potentially harmful additives. We prioritize not using certain additives commonly found in the industry.*
Why? Because your ‘brains’ (Head [1st Brain] responsible for Logic & Intellect, Heart [2nd Brain] that manages Emotions & Feelings, and Gut [3rd Brain] that governs Instinct & Intuition) don’t need or want these excipients. So don't put them in there.
At HCF® we believe in the value of clean-label nootropics. If you don't know what an ingredient is or does, maybe it's best to not put it in your body.
