Nutricog® – A patented combination of Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) and Boswellia (Boswellia serrata) standardized to gallic acid, ellagic acid, and amyrins, Nutricog Cognitive Performance Complex is an ingredient unlike anything on the market today. Nutricog has been clinically demonstrated to improve memory, increase learning rate and capacity, enhance focus and concentration, improve decision-making, enhance multi-tasking, and even improve sleep quality. Research has shown that Nutricog flexes its cognitive muscle by: 1) Increasing levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which promotes the preservation and growth of brain cells; and 2) Promoting healthy levels of the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine (ACh), which plays a critical role in learning and memory, by slowing the activity of the enzyme Acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down ACh.
Phosphatidylserine – Recent consumer research has revealed that Phosphatidylserine (PS) is the top brain health nutrient in the U.S., and for very good reasons. PS is an integral phospholipid in the human brain, representing about 15% of the total pool of phospholipids, which are major components of the membranes/walls that make up our brain cells. PS is involved in key brain functions, including the proper function of several neurotransmitter pathways. Simply put, PS is essential to proper and efficient communication in the brain and nervous system. As an added bonus, PS helps promote a healthy stress response, as it is often used to attenuate the stress hormone cortisol.
VitaCholine® – First recognized by the Institute of Medicine in 1998, recent studies indicate that more than 90% of people aren’t getting enough choline, an essential brain nutrient, from diet alone. VitaCholine is the premier source of choline, which helps build and maintain cellular health, helps maintain metabolic balance, and helps with homocysteine detoxification. Additionally, choline is a building block for the neurotransmitter ACh, making VitaCholine an ideal partner for Nutricog, providing a 1-2 punch for healthy ACh levels.
Vitamins B6 and B12 – These two brain vitamins support brain energy production, neurotransmitter synthesis, and proper homocysteine metabolism. In the case of the latter, supplementation with these B vitamins has been shown to support healthy levels of homocysteine, which can be neurotoxic when in excess, and along those lines, has been shown to be an independent risk factor for age-related cognitive decline. In addition to the direct role they play in brain longevity, proper intake of B6 and B12 is associated with better cognitive performance, better memory, and fewer signs of age-related cognitive decline.
