Clear Focus

• Bacopa Monnieri
Bacopa Monnieri is one of the main ingredients in Clear Focus®. The nootropic herb that has been well researched for its effect on processing speed, memory and leaning ability. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Bacopa Monnieri has been proven to act on protein synthesis in the hippocampus, the part of the brain that plays an important role in long-term memory. Bacosides is the active botanical ingredient found in Bacopa Monnieri, and it is appreciated for its effect on the brain. Studies have shown the link between bacosides’ positive influence on brain cells and brain tissue regeneration.

• Citicoline
Citicoline (CDP Choline) has several modes of action. It is
o a component of cell membranes,
o can repair and rebuild cell membranes of neurons.
o involved in increasing dopamine levels in the central nervous system and increases the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine.
both a precursor of Acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter very important for your memory) and a component of healthy cell membranes.
o an excellent complement to other nootropics. It may enhance the effect of a nootropic and also ensures that side effects such as headaches do not occur or occur to a much lesser degree.

Research has shown Choline may help support cognitive functioning and maintain both memory and brain function.

• L-Theanine
This amino acid is primarily extracted from green tea leaves or from boletes, a type of edible mushroom common to North America and Europe, which can be found in autumn. Research has shown L-Theanine to reach the brain after oral absorption.
It is well -studied amino acid for mental and physical well-being.

• Caffeine
Caffeine occurs naturally in the leaves, seeds, or fruit of over 60 plant species, such as coffee beans, yerba mate leaves, guarana seeds and cocoa beans. Caffeine belongs to the group of ingredients that stimulates the central nervous system. Research has shown that a low to moderate dose of caffeine improves alertness, vigilance, response time and attention.
Clear Focus® contains caffeine in combination with theanine. Studies have shown that this combination is better than caffeine alone, and that it is less likely to cause withdrawal symptoms and fatigue when the caffeine is no longer present in the body. Research performed by C. Haskell confirms this. She found that this combination led to faster simple reaction time, faster numeric working memory reaction time and improved sentence verification accuracy.

• Rhodiola Rosea Extract
Rhodiola Rosea is a well-researched botanical and is commonly referred to as an ‘adaptogen’. It is thought to help the body adapt and resist to both physical and environmental stress. Native to the Artic regions of Europe, Asia and Alaska, Rhodiola has traditionally been used throughout history. It is thought to also support stamina, mental capacity, mood, motivation and an overall sense of well-being.

• B vitamins
The B vitamins that are used in Clear Focus® are also called neuro vitamins. In addition to various other vegetable sources, avocadoes are one of the richest sources of B vitamins.

o Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Can be produced in the body by the amino acid tryptophan. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has confirmed various benefits of vitamin B3. The most common health benefits of vitamin B3 include: supporting the normal function of the nervous system and psychological function and contributing to the reduction of fatigue.
o Vitamin B12
Is a small organic compound that is essential to our body. As our bodies cannot make vitamin B12 themselves, we must obtain it from animal products and supplements. Vitamin B12 helps to reduce fatigue and memory loss.
o Vitamin B5
Studies have shown a correlation between vitamin B5 intake and mental performance.

• BioPerine® (Piper Nigrum)
The piperine extract obtained from black pepper fruits is well-known for its ability to support the absorption and assimilation of other nutrients.

• Co-Enzyme NADH
NADH occurs naturally in the body and it helps to improve mental clarity, alertness, concentration and memory. NADH stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and is a derivative of vitamin B3.
