Brain Power: Your Go-To for Improved Memory, Concentration & Focus

Your brain is one of the most important parts of your body we’re here to make sure that you have everything you need to have the healthiest, and most powerful brain possible so that you can live your life at its fullest. When creating a product that boosts brain performance in a way that surpasses all of the others on the market, we needed pharmaceutical-grade ingredients that were backed by science, and we nailed it. 

Every ingredient in Brain Power was selected based on the latest research in brain science and aims to get you the results you need: Improved focus, concentration, brain regeneration, and even healing of the brain from the effects of trauma, damage, and disease. 

Brain Power supplement is the perfect way to give your brain exactly what it needs in an easy-to-swallow pill so that is an all-in-one solution for everything your brain needs. 

Finally, a cost-effective solution that gets results and will help you win in the battle against brain related symptoms.

When you are under extended periods of stress, your body can become depleted of the ingredients it needs for you to function optimally. Greater demand, means you need more support. Think of it this way: If you are running a marathon, your body is going to need more calories in order to keep up with the demand from your body. Similarly, if you’ve been under a lot of stress your brain is going to struggle to keep up if you aren’t compensating for it’s extra hard work it’s doing for you. Over time this may result in brain fog, fatigue, poor concentration, depression, anxiety, forgetfulness, and a lack of creativity. 

Life’s demands can drain your brain of its reserves of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). BDNF is one of the most important proteins in brain health and longevity. It is difficult to increase BDNF with diet alone and this is why we included ingredients that are clinically proven to increase BDNF. This protein stimulates brain regeneration, growth and repair of neurons, and strongly influences mood, memory, and even impacts sleep. Levels of BDNF can be measured in the blood, and research has shown that it can decline with aging, from chronic stress, and from insufficient nutrient intake (118). This may result in brain related diseases, difficulties in formation of or retrieval of memories, greater side effects from medications, depression, anxiety, sleeping issues, and premature brain degeneration (119).  

Meet the 6 proven ingredients in Brain Power:

First we need to support the membranes surrounding the cells of your brain: 

Every single cell in your brain is covered by a membrane that is composed of phospholipids. As such, phospholipids are crucial in the function of your brain. There are two main forms of phospholipids: Phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylcholine. Citicholine or CDP-choline, found in Brain Power, is a substance found in every single cell of your body and is absolutely necessary in brain health. Studies have shown that citicoline is one of the best ingredients in supporting a healthy brain, and the form of this ingredient matters. Some supplements contain forms of citicoline that are not absorbed, but Brain Power has a patented form of citicoline called Cognizin which is broken down into two parts: Choline which is able to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and is used to form phosphatidylcholine, one of the key ingredients of your brain’s membrane. The second part is cytidine, which is a highly absorbable compound that is significantly beneficial to brain tissue maintenance over long term supplementation (57, 60, 63, 59, 61, 65).

The secondary ingredient for ensuring optimal concentrations of your phosphatidylcholine levels is glycerophosphocholine (GPC). GPC is a form of choline that is able to efficiently cross your blood brain barrier and actually go inside of the neurons in your brain. Inside of these neurons, GPC is used by your neurons to make phosphatidylcholine and acetylcholine. 

Next we need to increase your levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF): 

Remember, BDNF has been proven to be one of the most important proteins in brain health and longevity. If you are looking for better brain recovery, optimal brain performance, and to prevent neurodegenerative diseases, BDNF should be a part of your protocol. There are a lot of supplements out there claiming to increase BDNF but the most clinically researched ingredient is the extract of the whole coffee cherry. The fleshy cherry surrounding the coffee bean does not contain caffeine like the coffee bean, and has been clinically proven to substantially increase BDNF and raise blood levels of BDNF by 206%! This massive increase in BDNF was not seen in study participants consuming coffee, grape seed extract, chlorogenic acid, or other ingredients. This attests to the unique power of coffee fruit concentrate in its ability to skyrocket your BDNF levels (118, 119).

Our next step is to energize your brain cells:

Your brain’s #1 form of energy comes from acetylcholine (Ach), which is produced in the mitochondria of your brain cells. When your brain is processing complex tasks, forming and retrieving memories, concentrating, analyzing data, and recovering from trauma, toxicity, and damage, it uses Ach as fuel. Just like your car needs spark plugs to ignite the power of your engine, Ach ignites the power of your brain. Signs that your brain is not getting enough Ach include: Feeling mentally drained, struggling with poor sleep, memory, focus, concentration, forgetfulness, and even symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleeping issues. The most clinically proven source of Ach comes from a nutrient called acetyl-l-carnitine (ALCAR). ALCAR will give your brain the power it needs, as well as reverse age-related decline in your brain’s mitochondria, stabilize brain membrane health, and improve your brain’s performance (93, 120, 121).

The next objective is to boost neurological signaling:

If you’re looking to increase your cognitive or even physical performance, you’re going to want to take products that boost neurological signaling. Think of neurological signaling in terms of a network of wires and houses interconnecting throughout your brain and body. Part of how your brain works is to send and receive these messages so you have the ability to interact with and respond to your environment. The better the signaling, the faster you will be able to respond. Earlier we learned that there are two main forms of phospholipids: Phosphatidylserine (PS), and phosphatidylcholine. As one of the most important nutrients in brain health, PS has three neurological signaling super powers. First, it enhances the speed of neurological transmission which means you think faster and with greater clarity. Second, it counteracts the effects of the stress hormone, cortisol. This helps protect you from damage caused to the brain from chronic stress and keeps your brain in tip-top-shape. Lastly, PS balances neurotransmitter levels, which results in balancing of mood and improvement of sleep. 

The last step is to improve microcirculation to the brain cells: 

A healthy brain is a brain that has an ample supply of nourishing blood. Blood carries nutrients and fresh oxygen to the brain, and removes toxins, inflammation, and waste from the cells of your brain. Ginkgo biloba has been lauded in the research community for its ability to enhance microcirculation to the brain, nourish the brain cells, improve memory in both young and older adults, improve focus, memory, concentration, cognitive processing, balance neurotransmitter levels of serotonin, cortisol, and catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine), and protect the brain from stress-induced neuronal death (130, 131, 132,125, 123, 124, 127, 129).

   2. Increases fat oxidation (55)
   3. Improves muscle strength (26, 28)
   4. Improves reflexes and reaction time (51, 52)
5. Is potentially synergistic with pharmaceutical drugs
   1. While we always encourage you to talk with your doctor before starting any new supplemental, or health regimen, Brain Power is not likely to interfere with psychiatric pharmaceutical drugs.
   2. Brain Power may actually enhance pharmaceutical drug benefits. Here are examples how:
      1. GPC and citicoline may enhance drug actions by increasing availability of Ach brain energy. 
      2. GPC, citicoline, ginkgo may enhance dopamine, serotonin or GABA production in the brain, and may enhance the activity of medications that act on these neurochemicals.
      3. By improving the health of the neuronal membrane, GPC, citicoline and PS may enhance neurotransmitter receptor function, thus improving the effectiveness of the psychiatric drugs.
