An oxgenator and activator of cerebral metabolism. Helps increase levels of glucose consumption by the brain for increased energy to brain cells, increases microcirculation through brain capillaries and improves cerebral blood flow.
Bacopin: Helps improve memory by helping to repair damage to the synapse - the protein network in the brain where signals are transmitted from one neuron to another. Barcosides are naturally-occurring chemical
compounds found in Bacopin and help to fortify Kinase, the protein in the body responsible for replacing worn-out neurons with new ones.
Phosphatidylserine:
This phospholipid is present in the structure of cell membranes. Research conducted in Italy during the 1980's established that phosphatidylserine improved memory deficits, restored age-dependent electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities, prevented the decline in learning capacity and prevented some degenerative nerve cell changes in certain areas of the brain.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC):
Helps in the conversion of choline into acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter in the body. ALC also increases the release of sufficient levels of acetylcholine necessary for transmission of messages in the brain from one nerve cell to another.
DAME (Dimethylaminoethonal):
Formally sold as the major component in prescription medications, DMAE is available today as a dietary supplement. Like ALC, DMAE is thought to have a direct effect on the production of the nerotransmitter, acetylcholine.
Ginkgo Biloba Extract:
Study after study demonstrates the benefits of this amazing herb in helping to improve circulation in the brain, increase mental alertness and concentration. Ginkgo is also being researched for possible benefits in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
L-Glutamine:
Thought to have a positive effect on increased concentration, this amino acid is known to play an important role in helping to combat stress, elevate energy levels in the brain and increase mental alertness.
St. John's Wort: The use of this herb dates back hundreds of years and is considered an effective treatment by many for depression and anxiety. Demand for the herb continues today as a natural mood elevator.
