3 Westporters Launch Nootelligence, a Supplement to Focus You

Three young Westport-natives are celebrating the recent launch of their new 2-ounce liquid focus-enhancing supplement, Nootelligence Focus.

The three Staples High School grads, Ian O’Connell (BU '13), Jeff Moss (NYU '13), and 23-year-old NASCAR driver Parker Kligerman, teamed up last summer and are excited to finally see their work take form in the launch of their new product.

Nootelligence Focus is made from a class of dietary supplements called nootropics. Nootropics are a group of mostly naturally occurring antioxidants, amino acids and nutrients that are characterized by their ability to enhance mental functions like memory and learning.

Some of the nootropic ingredients in Nootelligence Focus include: Alpha GPC, an essential nutrient that is prescribed in Europe for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients; L-Theanine, an amino acid found in tealeaves that produces calming effects on the brain; Acetyl-L-Carnitine, an amino acid and powerful antioxidant that is produced naturally in many plants and animals.

The three friends turned-business-partners hope their product will introduce a wider demographic to the benefits of the many available brain health supplements.

The idea for Nootelligence Focus came about as the result of O’Connell’s search for a safe, healthy way to stay on top of his responsibilities while attending Boston University.

During his senior year of college, he learned about and began taking nootropic supplements, which were primarily available as pill or powder supplements.

After finding great personal success with pill and powder supplements, he realized the need for a more accessible nootropics-based product, and the idea for Nootelligence Focus came easy.

Once Kligerman heard about the idea, and tried nootropics for himself, he wanted to help make Nootelligence Focus a reality. The two decided to team up in June 2013, and brought Moss in as a third co-founder several weeks later. A

After more than six months of hard work, Nootelligence Focus has hit store shelves in April, and is already available at more than 30 locations in Fairfield County as well as several stores in New York City.
