Memory & Focus Nootropic

Cognizin® is a patented form of citicoline - a nootropic nutrient, which plays a crucial role in the synthesis of phospholipids and supports a healthy brain function. Citicoline works in 4 ways to enhance cognitive function, attention and memory: Neuroprotection, Fights Neuroinflammation, Brain Energy and Healthy Aging

Bacopa Monnieri, also known as Brahmi, is a perennial herb native to India and Australia. Used for centuries in Ayurvedic practices as a cognitive enhancer, Bacopa functions in 3 main ways to improve brain health and boost memory and attention span: Neuroprotection, Improves blood flow and Healthy neurotransmitter levels

Ginkgo Biloba is a millennial tree native to China and a core ingredient in traditional Chinese practice for more than 5000 years. Apart from a variety of other applications, Ginkgo is used for boosting cognitive function, memory, and mental alertness. It helps nourish the brain by improving cerebral blood supply through dilating blood vessels.
Ginkgo is also naturally rich in powerhouse antioxidants (flavonoids and terpenoids) and neurotransmitter regulator and has a role in dopamine and serotonin homeostasis.

Panax ginseng is used as an herbal remedy in traditional Asian practices for over 2000 years due to its variety of beneficial functions. In terms of supporting brain health, ginsenosides (the active ingredients in ginseng) have a general stimulatory effect on the central nervous system by enhancing neurotransmission. Ginseng has a neuroprotective effect, improves neuron survival and supports neurogenesis (the generation of new neurons). Due to its beneficial effects on the nervous system, ginseng is used as a cognitive enhancer, boosting memory, perception, and focus.

Zinc is an essential trace element and the second most abundant trace metal in the central nervous system making it key for optimal brain function. It is a critical factor for correct gene transcription in the brain and zinc homeostasis is a vital component of neurogenesis – the making of new mature neurons from stem cells. Additionally, zinc is an important synaptic and neurotransmitter regulator hence its key role in learning and memory.

Vitamins B6, B9 and B12 play an essential role in the correct functioning of the central nervous system and are key for healthy cognitive performance and memory. They have a neuroprotective effect by enabling the conversion of homocysteine to methionine (high homocysteine levels are associated with cognitive decline). Additionally, vitamin B6 is essential for the production of neurotransmitters (GABA, histamine, dopamine, serotonin), while B12 is a cofactor for myelin synthesis and is involved in acetylcholine production, the neurotransmitter essential for new memory formation.

Apart from its key role in calcium homeostasis and immune function regulation, vitamin D is crucial for brain health, memory, focus and cognition. It functions by supporting neuronal growth and development, has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects and plays a role in neurotransmission. Vitamin D also enhances synaptic plasticity, essential for cognitive processes such as learning and new memory creation and retention.
