THE PERFORMANCE PROTOCOL
Thymos Labs builds biomarker-driven protocols that measure, adapt, and improve your cognitive performance, recovery, sleep architecture, and stress resilience. Not hope. Measurable biological improvement.
The supplement industry runs on faith. Take this pill, trust us, feel better. No baseline. No tracking. No proof.
Thymos Labs operates differently. Every protocol starts with your biomarkers. Every adaptation is driven by data. Every result is quantified. Your body is the most complex system you operate. We give you the instrument panel.
Replenishes phosphocreatine in neurons and muscle, increasing peak ATP availability for both cognitive and physical output.
Donates choline for acetylcholine synthesis and cytidine for uridine production, supporting membrane integrity and cholinergic neurotransmission.
The only magnesium form clinically demonstrated to cross the blood-brain barrier, elevating synaptic density and GABA-mediated relaxation for deeper sleep onset.
Withanolides modulate the HPA axis, attenuating cortisol release and downregulating amygdala stress reactivity without sedation during waking hours.
Elevates alpha-wave amplitude and modulates GABA/glutamate balance, producing alert relaxation that sharpens attentional focus without stimulant-driven anxiety.
Salidroside and rosavins activate AMPK and inhibit MAO-A/B, extending aerobic capacity and blunting fatigue biomarkers during sustained cognitive or physical load.
Ubiquinol (reduced form) shuttles electrons in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and scavenges lipid peroxides, directly supporting cardiac efficiency and measurable HRV.
Binds nuclear receptors in neurons and immune cells, upregulating serotonin synthesis and neuroprotective gene expression; deficiency is endemic and correlates with poor HRV.
EPA and DHA incorporate into neuronal phospholipid bilayers and reduce pro-inflammatory eicosanoids; EPA specifically targets mood circuitry while DHA maintains synaptic plasticity and HRV via vagal tone.
| Biomarker | How to Measure | Target at 30 Days | Primary Compounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heart Rate Variability (HRV) | Oura, WHOOP, Garmin (resting RMSSD) | +5–15% | CoQ10, Omega-3, Magnesium L-Threonate |
| Deep Sleep Duration | Oura Stage 3 / WHOOP SWS | +10–20 min/night | Magnesium L-Threonate, Ashwagandha, L-Theanine |
| Salivary Cortisol (AM) | Dried-blood or saliva lab panel | −20–30% | Ashwagandha (KSM-66), Rhodiola Rosea |
| Cognitive Reaction Time | Cambridge Brain Sciences / Quantified Mind | −8–15% | Creatine, Citicoline, L-Theanine |
| Subjective Stress Score | PSS-10 (Perceived Stress Scale) | −25–35% | Ashwagandha, L-Theanine, Vitamin D3 |
| Serum 25(OH)D (Vitamin D) | Standard bloodwork panel | ≥50 ng/mL | Vitamin D3 (5,000 IU), Omega-3 (absorption) |

Get the Performance Stack →Neurotransmitter optimization. Focus, clarity, processing speed. Measured through cognitive biomarkers and real-world performance.
Mitochondrial support and metabolic efficiency. Sustained output without crashes. Tracked via glucose variability and metabolic panels.
HPA axis regulation and cortisol management. Not eliminating stress, but expanding your capacity to operate under it.
Inflammation control, tissue repair, and adaptation acceleration. The difference between training and overtraining.
Deep sleep duration, REM quality, and circadian alignment. The single highest-leverage variable in human performance.
Autonomic nervous system balance. The master biomarker that reflects your body's readiness for physical and cognitive demand.
Your protocol evolves as your biomarkers change. Wearable data, bloodwork, and behavioral patterns feed the optimization engine.
Thymos Labs integrates with the biological signals that matter: HRV, sleep staging, testosterone, glucose, inflammation markers, VO2 max, and recovery metrics. Your protocol adapts quarterly based on real data, not marketing cycles.
The right question is: how do I become the control layer between myself and my biological performance?
