The Body⇌Brain Energy™ formula works so well and is popular because of the specific scientifically researched ingredients used in the correct combinations, dosages and extracts; resulting in maximum results & benefits. Click the ingredients below and a detailed description will appear under it.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and cognition. Unfortunately, dopamine levels decline as we age resulting in decreased mental performance, depression, "drive", poor mental health and brain aging.6*
Reported health benefits include:
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that can be converted in the brain and in the adrenal glands to dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine (adrenaline) hormones that are depleted by stress, overwork and certain drugs.* 24
L-Theanine is the predominant amino acid of tea that produces calming effects in the brain by promoting healthy levels of serotonin and dopamine, and blocking the binding of L-glutamic acid to glutamate receptors.25-31* The calming, mood-enhancing effect is achieved by helping to promote alpha-brain waves, electrical brain activity commonly present when you are very relaxed, and helping to promote better mood.30*
Nootropics, a Greek word meaning 'Towards the Mind', are compounds that are both (1) neurologically active and (2) directly or indirectly enhance cognitive potential via increased capabilities (ie: reflexes), state of well being and learning potential.*
They are known as cognitive enhancers, which are dietary supplements that help optimize brain functions and improve brain health. Their mode of action is similar to "smart drugs"*.
Reported health benefits include:
Bacopa extract (50% bacopa glycosides) is traditionally used to help support memory and concentration, while easing stress and tension.* It is thought to help nourish neurons while restoring depleted synaptic activity and is one of Ayurveda's most revered herbs for brain health.*
Huperzine A is a clinically studied standardized extract from the Chinese club moss, providing a powerful and promising neuroprotectant that helps support brain health, memory and cognition.53,54*
A decline in acetylcholine levels coincides with advancing age and is a hallmark of neurodegeneration, which can lead to poor brain health and again. Proper acetylcholine function is essential to muscle control, sleep, and cognition.51
Reported health benefits include:
Alpha-GPC is extremely well absorbed and crosses the blood brain barrier. In the brain, alpha GPC supports youthful brain function and learning processes by directly increasing the synthesis and secretion of acetylcholine.* It has cognitive-enhancing properties and may help reduce the rate of cognitive decline in the elderly (poor memory, slower learning, etc).*51
Citicoline (CDP-Choline) is a unique form of choline that readily passes through the blood-brain barrier directly into the brain tissue.* It helps encourage the synthesis of acetylcholine and supports healthy cognition, attention, memory function and increases levels of various youthful neurotransmitters.*
Most people don't know that the brain requires a great deal of oxygen and circulation. In fact, cerebral (brain) blood flow is about 15% of cardiac/heart output... Which is where all of your "blood" pumping is done.
Proper brain health, illness reduction and anti-aging benefits, require optimal cerebral circulation and oxygen utilization.
Reported health benefits include:
Ginkgo biloba (24% extract) is both neuro (brain) and cardio (heart) protective.* Ginkgo extract contains flavonoids that are known to help strengthen capillaries, promote healthy blood flow to the brain, and help maintain cognitive health.*64-68 It helps support enhanced oxygen utilization and cellular respiration.*69 This helps support healthy oxygen and nutrients to your brain.*70
NOTE: We are utilizing the most potent form of Ginkgo with the highest extract: 24% ginkgo flavone glycosides, 6% total terpene lactones, <1ppm ginkgolic acid.
A common complaint among older adults is loss of physical and mental energy. As people age, their cells’ ability to produce energy is diminished.
Many scientists believe that cellular energy deficit is a critical factor in the onset of many health problems. Having higher levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) provides more of the energy molecules needed to perform many daily activities.71
Reported health benefits include:
Rhodiola extract (3% rosavins, NLT 1% salidrosides) is remarkable in its ability to support cellular energy metabolism by promoting higher levels of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and CP (creatine phosphate) in the mitochondria.* In human clinical trials, rhodiola aided exercise endurance after just a single dose72 and increased several measures of mental performance, including associative thinking, short-term memory, concentration, calculation and speed of audio/visual perception. Statistically significant improvements were reported after just two weeks of supplementation.*73
NOTE: Unlike some other rhodiola supplements, w only use the authentic Rhodiola rosea species, and is standardized to contain 3% rosavins and not less than 1% salidrosides — matching the concentrations used in clinical trials. This helps promote more cellular energy support for your body!*
Known as "cellular dynamos," healthy mitochondria produce the energy that powers all your cells. Unfortunately, as we age, mitochondria lose function and decrease in number.
Reported health benefits include:
Ubiquinol (CoQ10) is an essential nutrient your body requires for healthy mitochondrial function, a process that produces body energy at the cellular level, from fats and sugars.*42 CoQ10 also has powerful antioxidant properties, protecting important proteins43 and mitochondrial DNA44 from oxidative damage.*
PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) can activate genes that promote the formation of brand new mitochondria for more youthful cellular energy production.*45 PQQ works with CoQ10 as a potent antioxidant and supports the defense of mitochondrial DNA "death".*46
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) is a modified form of the amino acid L-carnitine that supports energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, and nerve health.*55
ALCAR may enhance memory, focus, and overall cognitive performance, especially in older adults with age-related memory decline.*55 ALCAR has neuroprotective and neurotrophic effects, which help support the health of nerve tissue and the central nervous system.*56 Supplementing with ALCAR has been shown to help reduce both mental and physical fatigue and improve mood.*57
Aging, stress, poor diet, lack of exericse or proper sleep can cause damage and accelerating aging to the brain.*
Neuroprotective benefits include preventing or slowing the loss of neurons and protecting against damage by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis (programmed cell death).*
These benefits can be achieved through various means, such as regular exercise, specific diets rich in antioxidants and vitamins, and certain natural/herbal compounds.*
Some neuroprotective mechanisms also involve enhancing neuroplasticity, improving cerebrovascular support, and clearing waste products from the brain.*
Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Extract contains compounds called hericenones and erinacines, which may help promote the growth of nerve cells and improve cognitive function.*62 Lion's mane may help protect nerve cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and inflammation.*63
Uridine 5'-Monophosphate is good for cognitive function, brain health, and nerve function.*61 It supports the creation of new brain connections, enhances memory and focus, and may have neuroprotective effects.*61 Other benefits include support for cell membrane health and potentially aiding in metabolic and mood regulation.*61
