KEY INGREDIENTS

AC-11

The Amazon rainforest is the home of cat's claw, a plant revered by traditional cultures for its antioxidant and immune-boosting properties. After years of research, the creators and founders of AC-11. developed a hot water extraction process based on a proprietary molecular sieving technology, using it to create AC-11 — The Rainforest Super Herb. The resulting compound has been shown to help your body repair DNA. It is included in the Alpha BRAIN formula to help the body support mental drive. AC-11 is the perfect marriage of the rainforest's secrets with today's advancements in phytonutrient science.*

Alpha GPC

Derived originally from lecithin, Glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline is a phospholipid metabolite found concentrated in neuronal membranes. Unlike less expensive forms of choline such as choline bitrartate, Alpha GPC has been shown to be well absorbed, easily crossing the blood-brain barrier. Once delivered, it helps support brain function and learning processes by aiding the body to increase the synthesis and secretion of acetylcholine.* Heightened acetylcholine has been linked to support memory, focus, mental drive, and REM sleep states.

Huperzia Serrata

An extract from the plant commonly known as northern firmoss (Huperzia serrata), Huperzine A is a naturally derived acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) is responsible for the breakdown of Acetylcholine, and so by inhibiting AchE, more acetylcholine is made available to the brain. Efficacy has been shown in a range of 200-400 mcg daily, and safety has been demonstrated in trials up to 5 weeks and 600 mcg daily.*

Bacopa Monniera

Bacopa monniera is an Ayurvedic herb found in the marshlands of India, believed to help the body to enhance clear thinking. Ayurvedic masters have touted its cognitive-supporting effects for centuries, as Bacopa has been served to rajas and peasants alike. Clinical investigations show that it has strong antioxidant properties, while animal models have suggested that Bacopa may support learning skills.* Bacosides, the active compounds in Bacopa, play a protective role in the synaptic functions of the nerves in the hippocampus, the seat of memory. Inside the hippocampus, nerve impulses are transmitted across the synapses and Bacopa is believed to help the body maintain optimal cognitive performance.*

ALPHA BRAIN

Research

Alpha BRAIN, the flagship cognitive enhancing supplement from Onnit Labs, contains a serving of nine natural, well-researched compounds to create an effective and balanced nootropic. Alpha BRAIN aims to support focus, mental clarity and cognitive functioning. The ingredients in Alpha BRAIN work on three aspects of enhanced cognition: elevating levels of endogenous neurotransmitters, providing stress-management compounds, and promoting long-term neuro-protection.*

Boosting Neurotransmitters

The human brain is composed of over 10 billion communicating cells, known as neurons, that make over 60 trillion synaptic connections. Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that embody the brain's currency of communication. The highly coordinated processes of production and release of these neurotransmitters determine the relative strength or weakness between neighboring neurons. These connections give rise to complex neural circuits, which underlie the apparent phenomena of human cognition.

It is well known that adequate functioning of neurotransmitter synthesis and release is essential to maintain a healthy cognitive state. Self-perceived states, such as attention, mood, focus, and awareness, are highly dependent on the relative levels of neurotransmitter production. Alpha BRAIN aims to elevate the levels of neurological production of the neurotransmitters by providing an abundance of biological neurotransmitter precursors. Specifically, Huperzia Serrata and aGPC are targeted at increasing acetylcholine function, an essential component for learning and memory. L-theanine, a compound isolated from green tea, has been shown to mimic the important inhibitory effects of GABA neurotransmission, supporting a calm and focused mental state. L-tyrosine is a key intermediary in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, with documented mood supporting properties. Conveniently combined together in the Alpha BRAIN formula, these unique nutrients help provide a strong foundation for the body to enhance endogenous production and maintenance of key neurotransmitters.

Mitigating Stress

Prolonged exposure to environmental stress results in a physiological response that can be harmful to overall health and neurological function. Alpha BRAIN includes a combination of natural compounds that have been suggested to help provide an overall calming effect.* Under the license from Optigenex, Alpha BRAIN is the only nootropic to include AC-11, a potent extract from Uncaria tomentosa, a plant found in the Amazon rainforest that has been used for hundreds of years as an alimentary herb. AC-11 has independently been linked to promoting calm following environmental stress and has documented cognitive benefits.* Alpha BRAIN also includes highly concentrated oat straw (Avena sativa), a promoter of neurological wellbeing and rejuvenation, which has been shown to support cognitive performance in healthy subjects.* Lastly, Alpha BRAIN contains phosphatidylserine, a phospholipid cell component known to possess ergogenic properties and promote stress tolerance in high performance athletes. Alpha BRAIN aims to help us manage our levels of stress while providing the tools to handle demanding situations, allowing the mind to remain clear and focused.

Targeting Neurological Antioxidants

Alpha BRAIN includes the highest quality anti-oxidative compounds that have been suggested to support cognitive function. Pterostilbene, a recently discovered compound isolated from blueberries, has been shown to provide antioxidant support against free radicals.* Bacopa Monniera has been used for centuries in the traditional Ayurvedic medical system of India to promote memory and longevity, possessing both antioxidant and aptogenic properties. Research on the use of Bacopa has shown significant memory support and protection against the deposit of harmful environmental neurotoxic molecules. These two potent antioxidants are essential to maintaining a healthy, functional nervous system.
