Neurology Blend
5-MTHF - Supports healthy homocysteine levels,
benefiting the cardiovascular system, nervous
system and cognitive function, including memory.
CDP Choline - Neurotransmitter synthesis for
healthy mood and mental function. Supports
healthy homocysteine levels, benefiting the
cardiovascular system, nervous system and
cognitive function, including memory.
B-12 Methyl - Vitamin B12 deficiency has been
associated with memory loss, especially in older
adults. The vitamin may play a role in preventing
brain atrophy, which is the loss of neurons in the
brain and often associated with memory
loss.
P-5-P - In addition to increased mental energy,
P5P may also benefit in the formation of memories.
The benefit derives from the neurotransmitter
properties seen in P5P, but pyridoxal-5-phosphate
also has neuroprotection capabilities. It likely
plays a role in improving overall brain health.
Electrolyte Blend - The brain operates in an
extraordinarily intricate environment which
demands precise regulation of electrolytes.
Alterations in extracellular fluid sodium
concentrations produce water shifts
that lead to brain swelling or shrinkage.
Amino/Secretagogue Neuro Support
Complete Amino - To function adequately, the
central nervous system requires several amino
acids found in protein foods. Amino acids such
as tryptophan, tyrosine, histidine, and arginine
are used by the brain for the synthesis of various
neurotransmitters and neuromodulators.
L-Theanine - L-theanine crosses the blood-brain
barrier, and has the ability to modulate inhibitory
neurotransmitters, serotonin, and dopamine
to bring about anxiolytic and calming effects.
L-theanine can also improve cognition and
selective attention, perhaps due to changes in
alpha brain wave activity.
Mucuna Pruriens - Is used to treat the motor
symptoms associated with loss of dopamine
neurons. Mucuna pruriens contains L-dopa,
a precursor to dopamine that crosses the
blood-brain barrier to increase dopamine
neurotransmission.
Phosphatidylserine Supplementation (PS)-
Essential for the brain not only to make
energy, but to manage its trillions of nerve cell
connections. PS promotes brain health at all
stages of life, from childhood through adulthood.
L-Glutathione - Is essential for the cellular
detoxification of reactive oxygen species in
brain cells. A compromised GSH system in the
brain has been connected with the oxidative
stress occurring in neurological diseases.
Alpha GPC - Alpha-GPC is a supplement that
may increase brain levels of acetylcholine, a
neurotransmitter. That is important for memory
and learning. Neurons that produce acetylcholine
are some of the first neurons lost in Alzheimer’s
disease, and theoretically, taking alpha-GPC
may compensate for that loss.
Acetyl-Carnitine - Important for many body
processes. May help improve physical function
and reduce blood ammonia levels.
Uridine- Is an important building block used
to create RNA, and increases synthesis of brain
phosphatidylcholine. Studies have shown it may
enhance the formation of synaptic connections,
increase cholinergic brain function, and
upregulate dopamine receptors.
GABA - Is a naturally occurring amino acid
that works as a neurotransmitter in your
brain. Neurotransmitters function as chemical
messengers. GABA is considered an inhibitory
neurotransmitter because it blocks, or inhibits,
certain brain signals and decreases activity in
your nervous system.
Botanical Nootropic Blend Theobromine - These compounds influence in a
positive way our moods and our state of alertness.
Theobromine, which is found in higher amounts
than caffeine, seems to be behind several effects
attributed to cocoa intake. The main mechanisms
of action are inhibition of phosphodiesterases and
blockade of adenosine receptors.
Hup A - Huperzine A acts as a cholinesterase
inhibitor — a type of medication that works by
improving the levels of neurotransmitters in the
brain. Small early studies suggest that huperzine
A might improve memory and protect nerve cells.
Ginko 24 - Improves cognitive function because it
promotes good blood circulation in the brain and
protects the brain and other parts from neuronal
damage.
Bacopa - The herb contains saponin compounds
such as bacosides and bacopasides, which may
enhance the communication of brain chemicals
involved in cognition, learning, and memory, and
inhibit inflammation in the brain.
Lion’s Mane - Has the ability to improve cognitive
function, brain health, and mental health.
Hericium Erinaceus (the scientific name for
lion’s mane) has been growing in popularity due
to its strong nootropic effects. Nootropics are
considered “smart drugs”.
Ashwagandha - Provides the bioactive
polyphenolic compounds glycowithanolides,
which can protect the brain from oxidative
stress by increasing the activity of endogenous
antioxidant enzymes.
Saffron Extract - Is high in carotenoids and B
vitamins that help increase the levels of serotonin
and other chemicals in the brain that support
mood.
Rhodiola - Is an adaptogenic nootropic that may
improve cognitive function, enhance memory and
learning, and protect the brain. It also helps with
emotional calming and protects against emotional
stress. In fact, a 2012 systematic review found
that rhodiola may be helpful at alleviating brain
fog.
Gut/Brain Flora Support PreforPro - In a human clinical study, this
ingredient was shown to influence the microbial
population of the gut, while also producing
positive effects on cholesterol and immune
response. Participants were administered one
15mg capsule daily. When compared to the
placebo group, results of the study indicated:
| An increase in beneficial bacteria,
including Bifidobacterium bifidum
and Lactobacillus delbrueckii
| Increase in counts of butyrate
producing Eubacteria
| Decrease in taxa related to
Clostridium perfringens
| A significant decrease in the allergy-
inducing interleukin 4 (IL-4) cytokine
Probiotic Blend - Probiotics can do more than improve your
gut health. They may also help boost mood and cognitive
function. The gut and the brain are connected by the vagus
nerve, the longest nerve in the body.
Carotenoid Blend Lutein/Zeaxanthin - Due to its antioxidant and anti
inflammatory benefits, Lutein has now been linked to
improvements in brain health, cognitive function, memory,
and even mood! Studies have shown the two carotenoids
Lutein and Zeaxanthin have memory-enhancing effects when
taken daily, as well as an impact on cognitive function.
