🧪 What’s in the Secret Sauce? Why We Use a Proprietary Blend (and Why That’s a Good Thing)

Let’s get real.

You’ve probably seen the words “proprietary blend” on your Upgrade label and thought,
“Wait, what are they hiding?”

The short answer?
Nothing shady. Just something worth protecting.

Because here’s the deal: we’re not Big Pharma, and we’re not some faceless mega-supplement empire tossing together random powders in a warehouse. We’re a small-but-mighty team who crafted a brain formula that actually works and we’re not about to hand over the blueprints to anyone who wants to copy it.

🧠 But Why Not List Exact Ingredient Amounts?

Glad you asked.

In today’s world, the minute you create something great, big-box brands are right behind you, ready to rip it off and mass-produce it with cheaper ingredients and lower standards.

(And let’s be honest—they’ve got bigger marketing budgets and fewer morals.)

By keeping our Upgrade Brain Formula as a proprietary blend, we’re:
✔️ Protecting the intellectual magic we worked years to perfect
✔️ Ensuring big retailers (👀 looking at you GNC, Wegmans, and friends) can’t slap a label on a knockoff- because they have tried...
✔️ Giving YOU the results you came for—without compromise

🔍 But Don’t You Believe in Transparency?

100% YES.
We believe in being fully honest with our customers—because you’re not just a sale to us. You’re a part of our Freeman Formula family.

That’s why:

• We disclose the ingredients in Upgrade (we’re not hiding what’s in it)

• We use only clinically researched, high-quality ingredients—nothing cheap or sketchy

• We test everything rigorously for safety, potency, and performance

• And we drink this stuff ourselves every day and so do our kids—so you better believe it’s clean and effective

🔐 So, What Is in the Proprietary Blend?

Glad you asked. You’re getting a powerhouse combo of:

• Alpha GPC for memory, focus, and mental speed

• Schisandrol A to reduce stress and increase calm control

• L-Theanine for clean, calm energy

• PEA for mood and dopamine

• Beta-Alanine for endurance and brain/body activation

• EGCG from green tea for neuroprotection and antioxidant power

Plus some other secret sauce (like the exact ratios, extraction methods, and sourcing magic) that we’re keeping under lock and key 🔐—oath sworn by our founder, Jeramy himself. (We might’ve made him sign it in matcha.) 😉

💡 The Truth?

You can either trust a company that gives you a full milligram breakdown… and still uses fillers, cheap caffeine, and glorified pixie dust.
OR
You can trust a company built on results, integrity, and a community of high-performers who feel the difference every single day.

Upgrade wasn’t built in a boardroom—it was built in a lab, in real life, with real humans we care about in mind.
And we protect that magic because you deserve better than copycats, and cheep knockoffs.
