It also stabilises emotions due to its effects on the increased release of serotonin.

• Acerola

  This amino acid is essential in promoting healthy neurotransmitter activity throughout the human nervous system and to the brain.

• Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR)

  This powerful natural brain booster increases neuro-transmission activity and has been shown in numerous research studies to improve the brain's ability to focus and concentrate for longer periods of time.Studies in to the use of ALCAR in treating attention deficit disorders (ADHD) have shown some promising results, particularly in reducing hyperactivity, aggression, and in improving concentration and alertness and attention span.Ascophylum Noodsum

• Ascophylum Noodsum

  This naturally occurring mineral is typically harvested from seaweed. Ascophylum is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the human central nervous system and plays a significant role in helping regulate overall neurotransmitter activity. Ascophylum has been shown to improve focus, concentration and attention span as well as improving mood and overall emotional well-being.A large number of individuals diagnosed with ADHD and who experience regular anxiety, stress and depression have been shown to respond positively to supplementation with this mineral extract.

• Caffeine (from Guarana)

  A mild central nervous system stimulant, caffeine from Guarana improves brain function, specifically alertness, concentration and attention and enhances memory performance.

• Camomile (1.2% Apigenin)

  As well as being a rich source of flavonoid antioxidants, green tea also contains l-theanine, an amino acid which has been shown to improve concentration.

• Green Tea Extract

  This natural brain booster vitamin compound has been shown to significantly improve mental energy alertness, resulting in a boost in the ability to focus and concentrate.

• Ginkgo Biloba

  This ancient herb is one of the oldest living and longest living species in the world and has been used for many centuries in traditional medicine as a natural aid in improving concentration and memory.Ginkgo Biloba is one of the most studied herbs in the world and there have been over 600 scientific studies and more than 50 clinical trials in the past thirty years.

• Ginkgo Biloba

  This unique and ancient species of plant has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Anecdotal evidence shows it may have a positive effect as both a memory and concentration enhancer.

• Guarana Extract

  Derived from a climbing plant native to the Amazon. Guarana has a long history of use by the indigenous population for its stimulating effect originally thought to be due to the presence of caffeine. However, recent research has shown additional brain enhancing properties in Guarana, possibly due to the high concentrations of flavonoids.

• Guarana Extract

  This ancient herb has been used for centuries to naturally and safely improve focus, concentration and energy levels.

• Iron

  Crucial for the brain’s oxygen supply and for the synthesis of neurotransmitters. A deficiency in iron leads to cognitive impairment and interferes with learning.

• Jujube Seed Extract (8:1)

  Extremely effective as a mood enhancer in treating patients suffering from mild to moderate depression. Jujube Seed Extract has also been shown to help with insomnia, it is being considered as a safe alternative to prescription anti-depressant medications.

• L-Tryptophan

  Increases neuro-transmission, helps to relieve depression and anxiety as it increases the secretion of melanin in the skin and acts as a powerful mood support.

• Lemon Balm Leaf (4:1)

  Contains a number of key components found in the brain that affect mood, pain, memory, and appetite. Studies show Lemon Balm Leaf has considerable anti-depressive properties and is very effective in reducing depressive moods and countering mental fatigue.

• Maca Root Extract

  This amino acid has recently been shown to be an effective supplemental treatment for attention deficit disorders.It provides an excellent boost in brain function for individuals suffering from every day stress, or for those individuals suffering from mood disorders, anxiety or panic attacks or difficulties focusing on work.

• Magnesium

  An essential mineral, magnesium helps activate over 300 enzymes in the metabolism process. It also affects the transmission of stimuli from the nerves to the muscles and the brain.

• Magnesium (Chelate)

  Has recently been shown to be an effective alternative treatment for depression anxiety and panic. Magnesium (Chelate) is believed to inhibit the re-uptake of serotonin, similar to many popular prescription antidepressants.

• N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)

  NAC is a natural product in some foods such as peppers, asparagus and cucumber. NAC increases levels of glutathione, the body’s main antioxidant. Glutathione protects cells from harmful free radicals. NAC also works together with B vitamins to lower homocysteine.

• Omega-3 Powder

  Omega 3 is required for an intact nervous system and mental development and is one of the major building blocks of the membranes of neurons.These essential fatty acids mainly found in oily fish, have been shown to improve cognitive performance, brain function and structure.

• Omega-3 Extract

  Several research studies suggest that Omega-3 stimulates alpha waves in the brain, which are associated with alertness.The brain generates a range of electrical activity that reflects various mental states, such as sleep, daydreaming, agitation or concentration. The alpha waves represent the alert state and it is for this reason that L-Theanine is being more widely used in natural supplements for concentration and focus.

• Pantothenic Acid

  Vitamin B5 is essential to both the structure and function of brain cells. Beyond its role in cell metabolism it is also involved in the synthesis of multiple neurotransmitters and hormones.

• Vitamin B1

• Vitamin B3

  Plays an important role in energy metabolism, works in synergy with Vitamin B6. Has been shown to help the brain recover after injury such as stroke.

• Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)

  Is a critical brain supporting nutrient used by the adrenals and nervous system to make the hormones that give us both energy and a healthy mood.

• Vitamin B6

  All of the B vitamins are crucial for brain function. B6 helps produce red blood cells that carry oxygen and neurotransmitters – chemicals that carry messages - essential for your brain to work properly.

• Vitamin B6

  Vitamin B6 reduces memory damaging homocysteine levels, supports the normal function of the nervous system and helps promote concentration and attention.

• Vitamin B6

  Acts as an adaptogen and helps the body cope with physical, emotional and metabolic stress, also works as an antioxidant, provides building blocks, increases oxygen utilization, decreases lactic acid, and helps modulate the immune system.

• Vitamin D3

  Is important in maintaining healthy skin and proper blood circulation. It also has significant effects in maintaining normal nerve and brain functions, enhancing memory, as well as in the proper digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

• Zink

  Found in high concentrations in the hippocampus, the area of the brain that controls memory and learning. It enables the neurons of the brain to communicate. Zinc deficiency is a common reason for a lack of concentration, learning disabilities, and listlessness.
