A concussion changed everything
£500,000 Research · Durham & Cambridge · Patented formula
Humphrey and Harry met as university teammates. One played professional rugby for his country. The other had his career cut short by a brain injury. What started as a personal recovery became a five-year research mission with Durham and Cambridge universities.
This is how two athletes built a patented nootropic formula, invested over £500,000 in clinical research, and created something that actually works.

Where It All Began
two athletes, one shared obsession
Humphrey Bodington and Harry Glover met at university as teammates. United by a relentless drive for performance, they pushed each other on and off the field. What started as camaraderie between athletes would soon evolve into a mission that neither could have predicted.

The Spark
when everything changed
After years in competitive contact sports, we'd mastered physical rehabilitation. But there was one thing missing from the conversation: recovery for the brain. Harry played over a decade of professional rugby for his country. Humphrey's career, however, was cut short. A concussion injury led to what neurologists called permanent post-concussion syndrome. Eight months of cognitive fog, fatigue, and uncertainty followed.
“Lingering concussion symptoms pushed us to explore what the brain is truly capable of.”

Breakthrough Discovery
the science that changed everything
Working with neuroscientists at Durham University, Prof. Paul Chazot and Prof. Karen Hind, Humphrey discovered how brain-enhancing nutrition could improve not just cognition after contact sport, but physical recovery, workplace motivation, and the ambition to take on bigger goals. The research revealed something remarkable: the complete CONKA formula extended lifespan equivalent to 15 human years in validated models, reduced oxidative stress, and reversed concussion-induced deficits.

Parallel Paths
the Olympic revelation
At the same time, Harry's journey with Team GB at the 2021 Olympics revealed something critical: cognitive performance was completely untapped, even among the world's elite athletes. Physical training had reached its peak. The next frontier was the mind.

Half a Million in Research
no shortcuts, only science
We invested over £500,000 into understanding how botanical ingredients could enhance brain performance. Working alongside Durham's neuroscience department, we tested, refined, and tested again. The goal was simple: create something that actually works, backed by real data, not marketing claims. Every ingredient was chosen for its synergistic effect. When any single component was removed, the benefits significantly decreased.

Building the Technology
if you can't measure it, you can't improve it
Tackling brain performance meant measuring it accurately. CONKA's cognitive testing technology was developed in partnership with Cambridge University. The Integrated Cognitive Assessment (ICA) is a 5-minute, language-independent digital test that measures brain processing speed with high precision. It's unlearnable, objective, and sensitive enough to detect changes that traditional tests miss.

Reinventing Extraction
alcohol-free, performance-first
Typical herbal tinctures use alcohol as a solvent. For professional athletes, that's a compromise we weren't willing to make. Dr. Shankar Katekhaye Ph.D invented an entirely new method of extracting active ingredients from herbs without using alcohol. A liquid formula that delivers faster absorption without any performance-compromising ingredients.

Pro Sport Validation
the first real-world test
Less than 16% of supplements are ever tested in clinical trials. CONKA has now completed over 25 trials with high-performing organisations. The first trial showed a 16% increase in brain performance compared to the placebo group. We had proof that this worked. Not in a lab, but on the field.

The Second Formula
precision-tuned for recovery
Armed with data from professional sports teams, a pattern emerged. There were two days each week where cognitive performance dipped, always around periods of high intensity training. The technology revealed what athletes couldn't feel themselves. So we developed a second formula specifically designed to complement the first: CONKA Flow for daily cognitive enhancement, CONKA Clarity for recovery periods.

The Journey Continues
from two athletes to thousands
What began as a personal mission has grown into something bigger. Tested by Bristol Rugby, McGuigan Boxing Gym, Blackburn Rovers, Sale Sharks, Team GB 7s, Toulouse Rugby, Wigan Athletic, Southampton Saints, Birmingham FC, Bath Rugby, Leeds United, and countless individual athletes seeking an edge. The results speak for themselves: +22% cognitive speed in men, +33% in women. +16% overall cognitive efficiency. This is just the beginning.
