Bio-Aligned Chart MegaMind™ Advanced Neuroceutical® Formula Neuro- transmitter Production Neurotransmitters are the brain chemicals that make it possible for neurons (nerve cells) to communicate with each other. Neurotransmitters convey messages across a small gap between the neurons, called a synapse. From there, second messengers help transmit the message from the membrane of the receiving neuron to its inner environment.
Acetylcholine Production Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is vital for memory and muscle movement. Acetyl L-Carnitine may assist in the conversion of choline into acetylcholine.
Circulation The free flow of blood is vital to oxygenate brain tissue and support cognitive health. The botanical, ginkgo biloba, supports microcirculation and healthy blood flow. Gotu kola also supports circulation to the brain.
Antioxidant Defense The brain is 60% fat, and the neuron cell membranes, where electrical signaling takes place, are primarily composed of lipids (fats) that are vulnerable to peroxidation (rancidification) by free radicals. Therefore, antioxidant protection is critical for defending brain tissues and cell membranes from free radicals.
Energy Metabolism Adequate levels of energy-generating nutrients are vital to the high-powered functioning of the brain. This is because the brain is a highly energy-demanding organ, accounting for only 2% of our body weight, yet using 15% of our total energy supply.
Myelin Sheath Generation The conduction of nerve impulses requires properly formed myelin--the sheath that forms a protective insulating covering around certain nerve fibers. Myelin is composed of fat and protein.
