Ingredients
Lion’s mane dual extract
Lion’s mane is the number one medicinal mushroom to boost cognitive function. Lion’s mane promotes neurogenesis, which refers to the growth of new nerve and new brain cells. Through this mechanism, consuming lion’s mane on a consistent basis can help improve neurological health, memory and focus. Studies have found regular consumption of lions mane has benefits in the region of the brain that control understanding and comprehension. It is also beneficial for mood regulation, which supports symptoms of anxiety and depression.
DHA (derived from Algae)
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is quantitatively the most important omega 3 essential fatty acid within the brain. It is essential for the growth and functional development of the brain in infants. DHA is also required for maintenance of normal brain function in adults. An adult brain is approximately compromised of 60% of fat and omega 3 fatty acids, especially DHA are concentrated in brain tissues. DHA is not produced within the body and needs to be obtained from dietary sources. DHA is widely studied and has been found to have a positive association with cognitive function and an inverse association with a variety of neurological conditions associated with mood and behaviour.
Phosphatidylserine
Phosphatidlyserine is a fatty substance called a phospholipid. It is the only supplement that has been granted to make brain health claims. It covers and protects the cells within the brain and carries messages between them. It plays an important role in keeping the mind and memory sharp. Half of your body’s total phosphatidlyserine resides in the brain. It is rare in foods and declines with age, so is a great supplement to take to boost cognitive function.
Ginko Leaf
Ginko Biloba is one of the oldest living tree species. It has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Modern science has found the plant-based antioxidants, flavonoids and terpenoids to be beneficial for brain function. It helps improve blood flow to the brain, protects nerve cells in the brain and has a positive impact memory, thinking and learning.
Acetyl Carnitine
The Acetyl form of L-Carnitine is the most effective form for the brain. Studies have found that acetyl L-Carnitine may prevent age related mental decline and improve markers of learning. It has been found to help reverse the decline in brain function of brain related illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, but also exhibits similar benefits for general brain function in older adults without brain conditions.
L-carnosine
Carnosine is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta alanine and histidine and is found in large concentrations in the brain. Carnosine provides energy to the brain by relieving oxidative stress created by free radicals. It has also been shown to prevent and reverse the damage done by advanced Glycation end products (AGE’s) AGE’s are a by-product of energy production and occur when proteins or DNA bond chemically to sugar molecules. They are implemented in many brain disorders. Taking L carnosine helps prevent and protect vital brain cells from damage.
L-Taurine
Taurine is a naturally occurring amino acid that is highly concentrated in the brain. Taurine levels decrease with age and also during extreme stress. Supplementation helps to maintain Taurine levels across the lifespan. Studies have found Taurine to be beneficial for learning and memory. Research has also found that Taurine plays an important role in creating new brain cells by activating ‘sleeping’ stem cells. Taurine also increases the survival of new neurons, resulting in an increase in adult brain cell creation.
Gotu kola extract
Gotu Kola has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Its Chinese name means ‘fountain of youth’ It is widely used as a natural remedy for mental health. It supports brain related disorders including mental fatigue, anxiety, depression, memory loss and insomnia. It has been proven to protect the brain from neurotoxins such as heavy metals, free radicals and glutamate.
Choline
Choline is an essential nutrient to maintain normal bodily function and human health. It is important for brain function as it is required to produce acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in regulating memory, mood and intelligence. It is also used to synthesise DNA, which is important for brain function and development. Studies have found it also improves memory and brain development.
