Can you really sharpen your memory and cognitive performance with specific patent-pending herbs? YES! A sharper memory? Now that is certainly an incredible “WOW” factor! While we can’t promise that you will turn into a high-IQ Einstein, we can certainly encourage you to experience Brain Prodigy™ and see how far its benefits can easily take you.
- Supports memory, attention, higher thinking and learning
- Helps promote neuroprotein (BDNF) levels, a key factor in the brain that declines as we age
- BDNF is involved in learning, memory and higher thinking
- Also promotes mood and sleep
Clinical research shows that certain patent-pending botanical compounds can target the brain to support mental focus, working memory, attention, recall and recognition. It is exciting to see that this research demonstrates HOW this is possible. We now know that specific botanical ingredients may significantly promote Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factors (BDNF) levels in the brain. BDNF is part of the neurotrophin family of growth factors in the forebrain and cortex – areas that are vital to learning, memory and higher thinking. By promoting BDNF levels, key cognitive functions are supported, specifically the ability to manage information, the ability to learn, focus and react appropriately to the environment.
Brain Prodigy™ contains a new class of quantum- state, full spectrum botanical ingredients combined together in one formula to provide outstanding cognitive benefits. Our first botanical, patented ingredient, Neumentix ™, is a clinically researched, all-natural spearmint leaf, coupled with NeuroFactor™, an extract of whole fruit from the Coffea arabica plant. Please notice that it contains the “whole fruit” (not coffee bean) of the Coffea plant – which offers a wealth of heretofore undiscovered botanical benefits. This double masterpiece is then placed in a foundation of naturally fermented Choline L-Bitartrate (not the synthetic DL-tartaric acid form) and also Organic Rosemary Leaf (mentioned in ancient times to be associated with “remembrance”). Never before have we had such an impressive collaboration of top-performance, botanical super-stars assembled together into one supplement … without any added, “junk” undesirable excipients.
Neumentix™ is a natural, water-extracted ingredient that has been sourced from spearmint that has been uniquely bred to selectively contain a high level of polyphenols, including rosmarinic acid. Research shows this valuable brain-targeting ingredient supports cognitive performance, such as focus and working memory, without disrupting sleep during the night. Clinic research shows that these are specific benefits for healthy young adults as well as older people with age-related memory concerns.
Polyphenols from Spearmint Can Improve Cognitive Performance
Spearmint naturally contains four polyphenols as seen below:
The polyphenolic compounds identified in Neumentix™ have been clinically studied to determine how they can promote cognitive performance. Exciting research reveals that these polyphenol agents are able to improve cognitive performance in people through at least four mechanisms of action:
- Reducing oxidative stress
- Increasing acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter especially involved in learning and memory
- Promoting neurogenesis, a process that promotes growth of new neurons
- Supporting neuroprotection, which helps to keep neural cells healthy
Research shows that a unique benefit of Neumentix™ is that it may improve working memory. The term, working memory, is defined as a part of short-term memory which stores and manipulates information while a person is involved in working on another task. It is known that working memory is controlled by key brain areas such as the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus.
Working memory is considered to be a critical cognitive function because of its ability to support cognitive abilities including concentration, focus and sustained attention. Working memory may also support physical performance, such as reaction time and movement. Thus, improvements in working memory may likely help a person to improve productivity as well as managing their workloads.
In Brain Prodigy™, the patented ingredient NeuroFactor™, is a high-value, all-natural extract of the whole fruit from the Coffea arabica plant. In clinical studies, this extract contains a unique profile of polyphenols which have been shown to stimulate the production of BDNF or Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor. This is a key neuroprotein that is involved in the overall health of the brain.
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor of BDNF has been determined to play an important role in many brain-associated functions, including the development of neurons, and the maintenance, repair, and protection against nerve degeneration. Neuroscience research now indicates that by increasing BDNF levels, it may help lessen cognitive challenges in people. That’s why it is an exciting finding to learn that NeuroFactor™, a novel, natural botanical, has been shown to significantly increase serum BDNF levels in two clinical studies.
In addition to taking Brain Prodigy, what other factors help increase BDNF Naturally?
- Exercise: get regular daily exercise
- Avoid “junk foods”: avoid processed foods, sugar, and high fructose corn syrup
- Healthy sleep: get at least 5 hours of continuous sleep every night
- De-stress: de-stress with relaxation techniques such as meditation
- Daily sunlight: get at least 20 minutes of natural sunlight on the skin each day
- Choose to be happy: choose to adopt a happy, positive attitude every day
All the cells in the body require choline to help support metabolic control. Choline is a biochemical “building block” that is important in the synthesis of all cell membranes and also supports neurotransmission and cell signaling.
Sufficient amounts of choline are necessary for the transport of fat from the liver. Choline also assists in chemical reactions that reduce plasma homocysteine. Adequate amounts of choline are integral to help maintain the balance of important biochemicals that are needed for cell growth and function in the body. Choline is indispensable for the specific roles it plays in the metabolism of other micronutrients and macronutrients, including vitamin cofactors, amino acids and fats.
Choline also indirectly impacts the balance and support of many other internal metabolites to which it is closely related and influences the activity of specific regulatory genes and catalytic proteins.
Choline can affect the availability of nutrients to the body’s tissues and organs whose viability depend on it. Sufficient intake of choline is critically essential since the body does not produce enough choline on its own, even under ideal conditions. Choline exhibits nutritional synergies with vitamins involved in folate metabolism and the body’s methionine cycle, such as vitamin B6 and vitamin B12, as well as nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids. Deficiency in complementary nutrients (such as B vitamins) can increase the need for choline in the diet.
