BRAND OVERVIEW

We’re a team of Special Forces veterans and lifelong competitive athletes whose paths first crossed at West Point. Our vision for Stoned Ape wouldn’t take shape until years later during our graduate studies at Stanford and Harvard. Between that time, we noticed something missing in the supplement world: most companies focused on pushing physical limits, but few paid attention to mental wellbeing. We borrowed our name from the "Stoned Ape" theory, which proposes that ancient primates evolved greater cognition through deliberate dietary choices—symbolizing our commitment to intentional mental enhancement. Frustrated by the lack of transparency and quality—with leading brands notorious for proprietary blends and artificial fillers, and even nootropics brands pushing experimental compounds—we set out to bring pharmaceutical-grade rigor to mental wellness supplements, creating natural alternatives to Ritalin, Ambien, and Xanax. All performance ultimately begins in the mind, and you deserve to know exactly what you’re putting into it.
