Genius Joy Review

Designed to help you feel happier, more focused and less anxious, Genius Joy competes for a slot in an already crowded marketplace.

So, does it have what it takes to topple its competition? What makes it different from the next cheap caffeine laden supplement out there in the world? This review digs deep into this relatively popular serotonin booster.

What is Genius Joy?

This is a proprietary blend or ready-made stack that’s meant to uplift your mood and improve the ability to focus. Founded in September 2015, the Genius Brand is headquartered in Auburn, Washington State. The privately held firm comprises a small team of fewer than 10 members if the information appearing on their Linkedin page is anything to go by.

In general, the company prefers to keep most of its details private. For instance, they don’t talk much about their founder’s story or anything close to that on their website which is a pretty common trend among the big boy supplement vendors.

That said, our editorial team managed to do a bit of digging and found at least 5 folks who are associated with this brand. Top among them is Mark Post who is the President of the Genius Brand. Then there is Robert Oliver the CEO of the brand who is also behind the @thegeniusceo handles on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Mark is a graduate of the Slipper Rock University of Pennsylvania. He is a nutritionist and sales guru. Robert Oliver is a graduate of the Western Washington University with a degree in Business Administration. He is also a fitness enthusiast.

The product and the team behind it seem legitimate only that they don’t overhype their credentials.

Does it Work?

The fact that Genius Joy is one of the best-selling serotonin boosters on Amazon goes a long way to confirm the product’s effectiveness. Out of close to 1700 reviews posted about it so far, this product has a 91% acceptance rate.

That, in our view, is a pretty success rate. But if you are a biohacker, it’s always important to be inquisitive especially in regards to the science behind the product. And for that, we carried out a thorough analysis of its ingredients.
