The Science Behind PressurePrep

Composure when you need it. Resilience when you build it.

Stress isn’t only a momentary problem. PressurePrep was designed around two goals: support calm, focused attention when pressure is high—and support a more resilient response to everyday stress with consistent use over time.

We started with clinically studied L‑theanine, already widely used in the U.S. for calm, focused attention. Then we searched globally for ingredients with something harder to find: meaningful human clinical evidence for both short‑term composure and longer‑term stress resilience.

That led us to L. gasseri CP2305, a Japanese postbiotic studied for acute and sustained stress response, and CEREBIOME®, a proprietary probiotic combination studied in humans during periods of ongoing everyday stress.

Two time horizons. Three clinically studied ingredients.

Today: L-theanine and L. gasseri CP2305 for calm, focus and composure. Consistent use: L. gasseri CP2305 and CEREBIOME for everyday stress resilience.

In acute human studies, within 60 minutes L‑theanine improved attention and focus and lowered salivary cortisol, while CP2305 increased alpha‑wave activity and parasympathetic activity and lowered mental‑stress and tension–anxiety scores.*

With consistent daily use, CEREBIOME® reduced cortisol levels and improved psychological‑distress measures. In medical students subjected to sustained high pressure over time, CP2305 reduced anxiety and sleep disturbance.*

L‑Theanine

A familiar starting point.

31 Randomized Trials · 1,168 Participants

L‑theanine is widely used for calm, focused attention without sedation. A recent systematic review and meta‑analysis examined 31 randomized trials involving 1,168 participants across stress, attention and cognitive outcomes.

In acute testing, a single 200 mg dose taken 30–60 minutes before testing significantly improved choice reaction time.*

In a separate randomized, placebo‑controlled crossover study, a single 200 mg dose significantly lowered salivary cortisol within 60 minutes compared with placebo.*

PressurePrep includes 200 mg per daily serving.

But L‑theanine alone wasn’t the product we wanted to build.

L. gasseri CP2305

A different approach to composure—from Japan.

8+ Randomized Human Trials

CP2305 is a heat‑treated postbiotic that produced measurable changes in brain activity, autonomic activity, and self‑reported stress levels in a randomized human trial.*

Brain activity Parasympathetic activity Sustained stress response
CP2305 evidence timeline: single dose, 60 minutes, improving brain activity, parasympathetic activity and mental stress measures; daily use, 24 weeks, improving resilience during sustained exam stress in medical students.

Human clinical studies of L. gasseri CP2305 have examined its effects on brain activity, parasympathetic activity and mental‑stress measures after a single dose, and on stress response after daily use for up to 24 weeks.*

CEREBIOME®

Because composure isn’t only about the next hour.

5+ Randomized Human Trials

CEREBIOME® combines Lactobacillus helveticus R0052 and Bifidobacterium longum R0175—the same two proprietary strains used together in randomized human trials that reported improvements in psychological‑distress and stress‑related measures.

In a randomized, placebo‑controlled study, 30 days of these strains significantly improved several psychological‑distress measures and reduced cortisol compared with placebo.*

Why it matters: CEREBIOME adds the longer‑term dimension to PressurePrep, with human research examining consistent use during periods of everyday stress.

Beyond ordinary stress support.

L‑theanine gives PressurePrep a clinically studied, familiar foundation. L. gasseri CP2305 adds an unusual Japanese postbiotic with human research spanning acute and longer‑term stress. CEREBIOME® adds clinically studied probiotics for the consistent‑use side of the formula.

Different ingredients. Different research. One purpose: support greater composure today while building resilience over time.
