Think better.
Made for Brain Fog, Clarity, and Laser Sharp Focus.
The formula contains additional antioxidant vitamins, like vitamin C that most companies do not incorporate. Many people may not know, but Vitamin C is significant for neuronal maturation and supports the generation of brain cells.
It contains potassium, which allows the brain cells to communicate with each other and with cells farther away. Potassium is linked to learning, metabolism, and the release of hormones.
Tyrosine is an amino acid that the body makes from phenylalanine. It is an essential component needed to produce several brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, including epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. By adding additional tyrosine to the formula, the body can make and use existent tyrosine to produce more chemicals in the brain. Other brands only incorporated L-tyrosine but not phenylalanine to create even more chemicals.
The addition of grape seed extract is essential to prevent memory loss and improve cognition. It is also a vital antioxidant for avoiding lesions of the brain.
DMAE works by increasing the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that’s crucial for nerve signaling.
Ingredients
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is critical to the production of the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine, which controls attention and response.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 may indirectly help with brain function by lowering levels of homocysteine, a protein that has been shown in high amounts to be linked to dementia and cognitive decline. In addition, B6 is also key to producing hemoglobin, which helps carry oxygen. Low hemoglobin levels can make people feel tired and fatigued, contributing to a lack of focus and clarity.
Potassium
Research supports that potassium is key to the “electrical” system in the brain that allows signals to fire via its effect (along with sodium) on the neurons. There is also significant information around potassium supporting memory function.
L-Tyrosine
Some studies indicate that Tyrosine may help with memory and cognitive functioning, especially under stress. Its production of neurotransmitters like epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine can help improve mood and overall nervous system communication.
L-Phenylalanine
The conversion of LPA to different neurotransmitters like norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine can help with cognitive function in addition to some evidence of mood improvement.
Taurine
Taurine is well-supported and is shown to stimulate the brain and synapse formation that is key to cognitive performance. While they are still early in the research, there are interesting claims that taurine can stimulate and regenerate cells in the brain.
Grape Seed Extract
There are studies in animals that indicate GSE could have potentially protectant effects on the brain as we age. Grape seeds are high in proanthocyanidins that could potentially be beneficial for preventing cognitive decline.
Potassium Ascorbate Powder
“It restores and maintains a correct concentration of intracellular potassium by reactivating a proper cell metabolism, and it reverses the process of cell degeneration (if present). Ascorbic acid represents a ‘means of transportation’ for potassium into the cell, and the compound indicates a protective mechanism for its own highly antioxidant characteristics.” (Link)
DMAE (from Dimethylaminoethanol Bitartrate)
DMAE is thought to help with production of choline which generally would be thought to increase acetylcholine production though studies haven’t conclusively confirmed direct effect, though it may actually be more proven with those that have a low level of ACH already. Generally, it could increase ACH levels, helping with learning and memory. People who have taken it have noticed an increased ability to concentrate.
Ginkgo Extract
“Ginkgo, one of the oldest living tree species in the world, has a long history in traditional Chinese medicine. Members of the royal court were given ginkgo nuts for senility. Other historical uses for ginkgo were for asthma, bronchitis, and kidney and bladder disorders. Today, the extract from ginkgo leaves is promoted as a dietary supplement for many conditions, including anxiety, allergies, dementia, eye problems, peripheral artery disease (when buildup of plaque narrows the blood vessels that carry blood to the head, organs, and limbs), tinnitus, and other health problems.” (NCCIH)
There are some claims of benefits relating to memory and cognitive function, for example, specifically in patients with cognitive decline though it is inconclusive whether or not Ginkgo helps healthy people with memory. It does contain high levels of terpenoids and flavonoids that act as antioxidants
CoQ10
CoQ10 is a natural antioxidant produced by the body that is used by every single cell. CoQ10 is critical because it is required for the energy production within the mitochondria. CoQ10 has been shown to help protect brain cells, produce brain energy, and contribute to production of energy for neurons specifically.
Vitamin C (from Potassium Ascorbate): Vitamin C is a critical nutrient and antioxidant that your body needs to facilitate healing processes, grow and repair tissue, and absorb iron. Because the body cannot produce Vitamin C organically, it is key to get it from foods and/or additional supplementation.
Vitamin B-6 (from Pyridoxine HCl): Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that the body utilizes to metabolize and store energy from different macronutrients, such as carbohydrates and protein. Additionally, B6 helps the body produce hemoglobin which helps red blood cells distribute oxygen around the body.
Potassium (from Potassium Ascorbate): Potassium is a crucial mineral that plays a large role in allowing your body to function correctly. Because it is a type of electrolyte, potassium helps nerves and muscles contract, keeping your heartbeat regulated and helping to move nutrients into cells in the body.
L-Tyrosine (Free-Form): L-Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acid derived from Phenylalanine. L-Tyrosine is a key factor in producing neurotransmitters such as dopamine and epinephrine which are critical to cell communication in the body, among other things like mood control.
L-Phenylalanine (Free-Form): L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that is not naturally synthesized in the body. It is considered a building block of proteins and other amino acids like L-Tyrosine which helps produce neurotransmitters like dopamine and epinephrine.
Taurine (Free-Form): Taurine is a sulfonic amino acid that is involved in a variety of processes in the body. Notably, taurine can act as a neurotransmitter while also improving vascular function.
Grape Seed Extract (Vitis vinifera – standardized for polyphenols): Made from wine grape seeds, grape seed extract is a supplement that contains a mix of antioxidants and proanthocyanidins, which have been used to help boost the cardiovascular system.
Potassium Ascorbate Powder: Potassium ascorbate offers a bioavailable version of both vitamin C and potassium. Potassium ascorbate can easily bind to other minerals, allowing it to travel throughout and be retained by the body.
DMAE (from Dimethylaminoethanol Bitartrate): DMAE is a substance found in small amount sin the body that can defend cells, specifically neurons, from harmful oxidation effects by acting as an antioxidant. Additionally, it can help metabolic processes. It has been shown to produce positive cognition boosts and support overall brain function.
Ginkgo Extract (Leaf – 50:1 standardized extract): Ginkgo leaf extract is made from the fan-shaped leaves of an old tree species. The supplement has been promoted to improve blood circulation and even some neurocognitive functioning.
CoQ10 (as Ubiquinone): CoQ10 is a chemical found in the body that can be found in the majority of cells in the human body. It is responsible for producing energy and protecting against harmful free radicals.
