  • CurcuBrain
    Curcumin is a powerful free radical neutralizer that is known to support balanced immune function but is also known to have poor bioavailability. NOW® CurcuBrain™ features Longvida® Optimized Curcumin, which in studies exhibits up to 65 times the bioavailability of free curcuminoids compared with generic curcumin. Longvida® is absorbed by the GI tract and delivered to the rest of the body as free curcumin, the active form in the body. Longvida® is shown to penetrate the blood-brain barrier for the support of healthy neuronal tissues.

  • What is Pine Bark?

    NOW® Pine Bark Extract is derived from the inner bark of Chinese Red Pine (Pinus massoniana), which is prized for its powerful free radical-scavenging polyphenolic flavonoid constituents, oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). Scientific studies indicate that Chinese Red Pine Bark Extract may help to support healthy cellular growth and reproduction. Green Tea Extract with EGCg has been included in this product for its abundant flavonols that complement the oxidant neutralizing of Pine Bark Extract.

  • What is PQQ Energy?

    Mitochondria are the organelles that produce almost all of the cellular energy the body requires. While present in all cells, organs like the heart and brain are particularly dense with mitochondria due to their high energy demands. Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a B vitamin-like enzyme cofactor that supports the integrity of mitochondrial structures and supports the generation of new mitochondria within cells. PQQ may thus robust cellular energy production, support heart health and support normal brain function. CoQ10 and acetyl-L-carnitine have been included for their critical roles in supporting mitochondrial function and energy production.

  • What is PQQ?
    With 200 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid Mitochondrial Support Mitochondria are the parts of the cell that produce energy. While all cells have them, the heart and brain are especially dense with mitochondria due to their high energy demands. Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) is a B vitamin-like compound that helps to protect mitochondria from free radicals and promotes the production of new mitochondria within cells PQQ may thus help to maintain robust cellular energy production, support heart health, and promote normal cognitive function. Extra Strength PQQ includes alpha lipoic acid to complement PQQ’s free radical scavenging abilities. This extra strength product has twice the PQQ (40 mg per capsule) as in our regular strength product (20 mg per capsule).

  • What is SAMe,

    SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine), a compound native to the body, is a component of many biochemical reactions, including those that affect brain biochemistry and joint health. SAMe is critical for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, is important for energy production in the brain, contributes to the maintenance of healthy cell membrane function, and influences cartilage metabolism. Natural colour variation may occur in this product.

  • Swanson – Fisetin Novusetin® 100mg 30VC

    When researchers discovered a positive correlation between strawberry consumption and mental functioning, they set out on a fast path to discover why. It turns out strawberries are high in a flavonoid called Fisetin, which preliminary research suggests may be responsible for the berries’ apparent brain-health benefits. Our Swanson Ultra® Fisetin supplement lets you harness these potential benefits with Novusetin®, an advanced Fisetin extract from the “wax tree” (Rhus succedanea, an Asian species of sumac). Novusetin is produced under license from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, where much of the exciting research on Fisetin is taking place. While no human trials have been completed, recent pre-clinical research support Fisetin’s potential as a senotherapeutic and its benefits for brain health and healthy aging. In the field of brain nutrition, a Novusetin Fisetin supplement is truly on the cutting edge, and you can get it today in Swanson Ultra Fisetin—the clear choice for cognitive support.
