Omega-3 Fish Oil
The two most important long-chain forms of Omega-3 are DHA and EPA. DHA is a primary component of the brain, constituting approximately 8% of brain dry weight, while EPA possesses anti-inflammatory and cerebral blood flow regulatory properties.
Bacopa Monnieri
Bacopa Monnieri is revered as a "memory enhancer" for its powerful cognitive-enhancing properties and has been widely used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to improve memory, learning, anxiety, and insomnia.
Alpha-GPC Choline
Alpha-GPC is closely associated with memory formation, learning, attention concentration, and neuromuscular function. Compared to other choline forms, it has higher bioavailability and faster cerebral absorption rates, making it the preferred choice among cognitive-enhancing supplements.
Phosphatidylserine
PS naturally occurs in the inner leaflet of cell membranes and participates in multiple key biological functions, including nutrient transport, intercellular communication, signal transduction, and energy metabolism. PS is also a necessary component for neurotransmitter production and cerebral metabolism.
PQQ+CoQ10
PQQ focuses on promoting mitochondrial biogenesis to increase mitochondrial quantity and quality, while CoQ10 focuses on enhancing mitochondrial energy production and antioxidant defense. When used together, the two create powerful synergistic effects on cognition, energy, and neuroprotection.
Valeriana officinalis
Valerian has been widely used since the European Middle Ages, particularly in Germanic and Celtic traditional medicine, for treating insomnia, anxiety, and nervous tension.
