What is co-crystallization?

Co-crystallization is a precise process in which two or more molecules are combined under controlled conditions, bonding to form an entirely new crystalline structure.

Co-crystallization has been utilized to improve the effectiveness of medicines by enhancing their solubility, stability, and absorption for over 100 years.

First Person has adapted this proven science to create a breakthrough ingredient: Crystallized Lion’s Mane.

Through our proprietary co-crystallization process, Lion’s Mane is transformed into a soluble, rapidly absorbed form designed for fast cognitive activation.

The process eliminates grit and bitter flavors, delivering a smooth, neutral taste that integrates effortlessly into your daily routine.

What is BDNF?

BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) is a naturally occurring protein in the brain that plays a critical role in learning, memory, and overall cognitive performance. Often described as “fertilizer for the brain.” BDNF supports the growth, repair, and survival of neurons while strengthening the connections between them.

Healthy BDNF levels are associated with sharper thinking, improved focus, and long-term brain resilience. As we age, or experience chronic stress, BDNF production can decline, making it an important target for maintaining peak cognitive function.

What are neurotransmitters?

Our moods, impulses, and behaviors are the result of chemical messages in our brain, passed between brain cells, or neurons. These messages are made up of unique neurochemicals called neurotransmitters.

Neurotransmitters are produced within neurons themselves, then released into the gap between neurons, called the synapse. This is called neurotransmission.

Each neurotransmitter plays a specific role in cognition, driving certain aspects of our mindsets and mood states.

Enhancing neurotransmitters can result in noticeable shifts in cognition and behavior.

Building blocks for your ideal day

Your brain relies on a precise balance of neurotransmitters to regulate energy, mood, focus, and sleep. It also produces critical proteins–such as Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)–that support the growth, resilience, and maintenance of neurons. BDNF also plays a central role in neuroplasticity, learning, and memory.

First Person offers the first daily collection intentionally designed to support both neurotransmitter balance and BDNF activity—helping elevate mood, sharpen focus, enhance mental clarity, and optimize overall brain performance.
