Focus-Mate is New Beginnings Nutritionals’ combination formula for focus and concentration support. It supplies five complementary nutrients in vegetarian capsules: vitamin B6, magnesium, acetyl-L-carnitine, sunflower-derived phosphatidylserine and Pycnogenol maritime pine extract.
Formula and capsule details
Focus-Mate is a 120-capsule formula combining vitamin B6, magnesium, acetyl-L-carnitine, sunflower-derived phosphatidylserine and Pycnogenol maritime pine extract. See the current Supplement Facts for amounts per four-capsule serving.
Other ingredients: hypromellose (capsule), maltodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate.
Ingredient roles
Vitamin B6 supports normal neurotransmitter synthesis. Acetyl-L-carnitine contributes to energy metabolism. Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid found in cell membranes; this formula uses sunflower-derived Sharp-PS® GREEN. Pycnogenol® maritime pine extract provides antioxidant support. These ingredient roles describe nutritional support, not treatment of a diagnosis.

Frequently asked questions
What is one serving?

Can the capsules be opened?
Yes. The manufacturer says the contents can be mixed with cool food or liquid.
When should Focus-Mate be taken?
The manufacturer advises avoiding doses after 4 p.m. because some ingredients may disrupt sleep. Follow the supplied directions and your healthcare practitioner’s advice.
Is the phosphatidylserine from soy?
The label identifies sunflower lecithin as its source. The manufacturer’s allergen statement lists soybeans among excluded allergens.
Must I also take fish oil?
The manufacturer recommends 1–2 grams of purified fish oil daily alongside Focus-Mate. This is a separate supplement, not an ingredient or an included item. Ask your healthcare professional whether combining them is appropriate.
