Five Ingredients For a Better Brain

When most people think of aging, they think of gray hairs and wrinkles. Because we live in a society so obsessed with the external signs of age, we often forget that humans age on the inside, too.

For instance, there’s the aging brain. As we age, our brains undergo physical changes in size and composition that manifest into slower cognition, impaired memory, decreased ability to learn, and weakened sensory perception.

The way your brain ages isn’t necessarily tied to chronological years. Just like the physical symptoms of age, lifestyle plays a big role. Physical activity, a healthy diet, and low-to-moderate alcohol intake are associated with better brain health (1).

To combat internal aging, Isagenix, in collaboration with nutritionist and acclaimed author Michael Colgan, Ph.D., created a proprietary blend of ingredients specifically designed to target the biochemical pathways involved in brain aging.

Let’s take a look at five of the natural ingredients found in Isagenix Brain Boost & Renewal™:

1. Turmeric is an Indian plant commonly consumed as a dietary spice in curry-rich foods and is rich in curcumin. Studies have shown that curcumin can help slow cognitive decline by reducing oxidative stress in the brain (2). Another recent study found that curcumin also helps alleviate muscle soreness in athletes (3).
2. Piperine is a bio-enhancer. This means that it promotes the bioavailability of certain bioactive compounds. For example, studies have shown that supplementing with piperine, along with curcumin and resveratrol, significantly enhanced their bioavailability (4, 5).
3. R-alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that has the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and protect against oxidative stress in the brain. It also helps improve mitochondrial function, allowing cells to better make use of ATP energy (6, 7).
4. Acetylcarnitine is often paired with R-alpha-lipoic acid and have been shown to work together in supporting brain health. On its own, however, acetylcarnitine is also shown to support better mood and improve memory in laboratory animals (8, 9).
5. Citicoline is the precursor of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is necessary for the communication between brain cells. This compound is also a potent neuroprotectant, meaning that it’s protective of brain cells (10).

Together these ingredients, along with others such as green tea, Macuna pruriens, and L-carnosine, work together to support healthy brain function, increase cognitition, and delay some of the internal symptoms of aging. However, Brain Boost & Renewal™ is not just for older adults. Some adults start suffering from a decline in brain function as early as in their 20s and 30s (11).

When Dr. Colgan and Isagenix scientists first put together the Brain and Sleep Support System, they also never meant for it to be taken alone, but paired with brain-supporting melatonin from Sleep Support & Renewal™ spray. In addition, the two products were designed for use alongside the Ageless Essentials Daily Pack to fill nutritional gaps. The Ageless Essentials Daily Pack™ contains valuable vitamins and nutrients such as for fish oil omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, and vitamin B12 that are critical to brain health.

No matter what age, it is never too late—or too early—to invest in the health of your brain.
