Below we take an in-depth look at Azoth 2.0 to see whether or not it works as an effective nootropic that can increase productivity through improving energy, mood, focus, cognition, and speed.
Azoth 2.0 is a nootropic supplement that is caffeine-free and designed to offer improvements in “energy, mood, focus, cognition, and speed”, leading to an overall increase in productivity. However, it does contain another stimulant ingredient, Hordenine, and so it is still not safe for anyone with high blood pressure and other heart related health issues.
Azoth 2.0 is manufactured by Azoth LLC, a small company that set up in 2016 and is run by Prady Tewarie, a bodybuilder.
There are numerous ingredients in Azoth 2.0 that could potentially cause a range of side effects.
Large doses of ashwaganda can cause stomach upset, diarrhoea and vomiting. It can also change blood pressure levels.
Although Tyrosine is tolerated generally in very high doses, it can cause some side effects including nausea, headache, fatigue, heartburn, and joint pain.
Side effects of Phosphatidylserine can include insomnia and stomach upset, particularly at doses over 300 mg. It can be made from either plant or animal sources, and so may not be suitable for vegetarians.
Huperzine A can cause some side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, sweating, blurred vision, slurred speech, restlessness, loss of appetite, contraction and twitching of muscle fibres, cramping, increased saliva and urine, inability to control urination, high blood pressure, and slowed heart rate.
Bioperine increases the bioavailability of other compounds, which increases the risk of side effects from other ingredients, as well as the risk of accidental overdose.
Azoth 2.0 can be purchased from the official Azoth website, Seeking Azoth. Here there are several purchasing options. A single bottle containing 45 capsules (15 servings) costs $29.99.
Two bottles, containing a total of 90 capsules (30 servings) costs $39.99. Finally, three bottles, containing 135 capsules (45 servings) costs $54.99. Delivery charges may also apply.
Azoth 2.0 is also available on Amazon. Here a single bottle costs $34.95. Delivery charges may also apply.
The marketing for this product makes a big deal of the absence of caffeine in the formula. However, this product does contain Teacrine, which works in a similar way to caffeine, and Hordenine, which acts as a stimulant. This means that Azoth is not suitable for anyone who is sensitive to caffeine and other stimulants. The list of precautions and warnings on the side of the bottle is incredibly long, and should be read through thoroughly before purchase, as the side effects can be unpleasant and serious.
Whilst many of the nootropic ingredients have anecdotal support from consumers (individually), and they also have clinical support for treating Alzheimer’s and Dementia, there is little evidence from clinical studies to support their use to boost memory and cognition in healthy consumers. This is because nootropics are still an emerging market.
There is no money back guarantee for this product, and the manufacturers do not state what their returns policy is on their official website.
Each bottle will last for between 15 and 22 days of use. Whilst the price of a single bottle is not high, the cost per day is much higher, as many comparable products offer a 30 day supply in each bottle.
Overall, we do not recommend Azoth 2.0 to our readers.

Azoth 2.0 is a nootropic supplement that, according to its manufacturers, is “designed to increase motivation, confidence, memory, and focus without a crash.” The product was reformulated in 2017, and lots of the available customer reviews appear to be discussing the original formula. Azoth’s manufacturers use the product’s lack of caffeine as one of its main selling points, but neglect to mention that the product contains another stimulant called Hordenine, which is incredibly under-researched regarding both its safety profile and its potential cognitive benefits.
Azoth 2.0 is manufactured by Azoth LLC, and appears to be the company’s only product. Azoth LLC are based in Boston, MA, in the USA. They can be contacted using the information provided at the bottom of the official website.
Directions for use are as follows: As a dietary supplement, consumer 2-3 capsules with a light meal containing healthy fats. Do not exceed recommended dosage. Assess tolerance first.
On the Amazon sales page, the manufacturers describe Azoth 2.0 as having the following benefits:

There are numerous different ingredients in Azoth 2.0 that could provide a range of different benefits. Alpha-GPC is used as a prescription treatment of Alzheimer’s in Europe, and whilst it is hypothesised that it could benefit memory in healthy consumers, there is no support for this yet. Phosphatidylserine also has clinical support suggesting that its supplementation could benefit Alzheimer’s patients, but no clinical support for benefiting healthy consumers yet.
Hordenine is a stimulant ingredient; it is not a nootropic and is not commonly included in nootropic supplements. It seems likely that it can boost energy levels.
Ashwaganda may reduce cortisol levels, helping to combat stress. High cortisol levels are linked with sleeping poorly, increased fatigue, and even weight gain.
Tyrosine may help to reduce fatigue if you are sleep deprived, as does Sulbutiamine.
Although the manufacturers claim that this supplement could improve memory (amongst a long list of other benefits), we could not find any ingredients in this product that have been proven to improve memory in cognitively healthy consumers; there are some ingredients that have been linked with improved cognition and even improved memory in those with Alzheimer’s, but this might not extend to the rest of the population.
Overall, it is possible that Azoth 2.0 could help to reduce fatigue, boost energy levels, and help to somewhat reduce cortisol levels and perceptions of stress. The nootropic ingredients used have little clinical support for their use in healthy consumers, but they have anecdotal support online.
The ingredients found in Azoth 2.0 are detailed below. The individual ingredient quantities listed below are per serving of three capsules.

Bioperine increases the bioavailability of other compounds, which increases the risk of side effects from other ingredients, as well as the risk of accidental overdose.
Hordenine is a stimulant found in bitter orange, and some other plants. Side effects associated with the use of Hordenine and other bitter orange extracts include increased heart rate and increased blood pressure, heart palpitations, fainting, muscle disorders, seizures, irregular heartbeat, loss of consciousness, strokes, heart attacks, and death in previously healthy patients. The Mayo Clinic has recommended avoiding use of bitter orange and its extracts, including hordenine because in their opinion, the risk of using the product is not worth the risk.

There is a single customer review for Azoth 2.0 on the UK sales website, powermyself.com:
I’ve tried all kinds of nootropics, but this tops them all. If I could, I’d patent this formula, it’s as strong as it gets. Apart from the full-dosed ingredients, the focus is insane.

Have to disagree with this. The formula is probably one of the most effective out there and one of the few non-prop blends on the market. Been using this for a month or two and even got my mom on it. 0 side-effects and loving it. Have you tried the formula?
