COGNITIVE FUNCTION

The brain is one of the most nutrient-dependent organs in the body, relying on a steady supply of specific vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids to maintain focus, memory, and mental clarity. Without adequate nutritional support, cognitive performance can decline gradually — increasing the risk of brain fog, poor concentration, and longer-term neurological deterioration.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids - Contributes to healthy brain cell membranes and blood flow in the brain, which is associated with improved learning, memory and overall mental performance.

Iron - Supports oxygen delivery and neurotransmitter synthesis in the brain. Correcting iron deficiency has been shown to improve measures such as attention, memory and intelligence scores in children and adults.

Zinc - Helps to maintain synaptic plasticity, protecting neurons from oxidative stress, and contributing to memory and cognitive performance, particularly as people age.

Iodine - Enables the thyroid hormones needed for healthy brain development and mental performance across all ages, and deficiency has been linked to problems such as reduced IQ, slower thinking and difficulty concentrating.

Magnesium L-Threonate — A unique form of magnesium that can cross the blood-brain barrier, directly supporting brain health. It's been shown to enhance memory, sharpen focus, and support overall cognitive function.

Selenium - Helps form antioxidant selenoproteins that protect brain cells from oxidative stress and inflammation, processes linked with cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease.

Copper - Supports normal cognitive function by contributing to the proper functioning of the nervous system and the formation of neurotransmitters. It also helps maintain healthy brain cell communication and protects cells from oxidative stress.

Phospholipids - Essential components of cell membranes, particularly in the brain. They support cognitive function by aiding communication between brain cells and contributing to memory, learning, and overall mental performance.

L-Theanine - An amino acid naturally found in green tea that promotes a calm but alert mental state, improving attention and reaction time, and potentially enhancing working memory and executive functions.

Curcumin - As the active compound in turmeric, it helps to reduce brain inflammation and oxidative stress, with some studies suggesting modest improvements in memory and attention in older adults.

Creatine - Increases the brain’s energy availability through higher phosphocreatine stores, which supports focus, mental clarity, and overall thinking performance, particularly during demanding tasks or periods of fatigue.

Polyphenols - Natural compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and plant extracts, known for their antioxidant properties. They help support cognitive function by protecting brain cells from oxidative stress and promoting healthy blood flow, which may benefit memory, focus, and overall mental performance.

Ginger - Helps to enhance cognitive function by improving memory, focus, and mental clarity through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

B-vitamins

Vitamin B1 - Plays a key role in supporting cognitive function by helping convert nutrients into energy for the brain. It also contributes to maintaining proper hydration levels by supporting nervous system balance. Emerging research suggests it may help ease menstrual discomfort by supporting muscle and nerve function.

Vitamin B5 - Plays a key role in supporting mental performance and reducing tiredness and fatigue. It contributes to the normal synthesis of neurotransmitters, helping maintain focus and cognitive clarity. B5 also supports skin health and helps regulate moisture levels, aiding overall hydration.

Vitamin B6 - Supports the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which play key roles in mood regulation, mental clarity, and maintaining a steady flow of focus and alertness throughout the day.

Vitamin B9 - Supports the production of neurotransmitters, promoting healthy brain cell communication, and aiding in the synthesis of DNA and RNA, which together contribute to better memory, focus, and overall mental clarity.

Vitamin B12 - Supports healthy nerve cells, aiding in the production of neurotransmitters involved in memory and concentration, and helping reduce the risk of cognitive decline and memory problems associated with deficiency.

Adaptogens

Ashwaganda - A traditional herb used in Ayurvedic medicine that improves aspects of memory, attention, reaction time, and executive function, while also helping to reduce stress that can impair mental performance.

Ginkgo biloba - A plant extract,derived from the leaves of the Ginkgo tree, traditionally used to support cognitive function, particularly memory and concentration. It is thought to help maintain healthy blood circulation to the brain, supporting mental performance and focus.

Lions mane - A functional mushroom known for its potential to support cognitive function, including focus, memory, and mental clarity. It’s thought to promote the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), which plays a role in maintaining healthy brain cells and neural connections.
