Overview
Company Does Not Provide H1B Sponsorship
BrainEffect designs nutritional supplements and functional foods to support mental and physical performance. Its products use science-backed formulations with natural ingredients across vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, collagen, and proteins, with core items like FOCUS, SLEEP, and DAILY GUT that target sleep, gut health, focus, energy, and recovery. The brand sells online and through a broad retail network of 2,500+ stores including dm, Budni, and Amazon, and remains independently led by founder Fabian Foelsch after Schwabe Group’s investment and a two-thirds stake, combining Schwabe’s research capabilities with BrainEffect’s digital reach. The goal is to expand internationally with reliable, natural products that help people optimize mental performance and well-being in daily life and sports.
