Memory & Focus for Adults 40+ is designed to
promote memory, sharper focus and clear thinking. † As
we age, we require support for continued brain health.
This unique formula has two key ingredients. First, this
formula contains 600mg of Organic Neurophenol™ which
is a clinically studied blend of Organic Grape Extract and
Organic Wild Blueberry Extract that has been clinically
shown to improve memory performance. † Second, it
contains Organic NeuroFactor™ Whole Coffee Fruit which
has been shown to promote BDNF production. † BDNF (Brain
Derived Neurotrophic Factor ) is a protein that prevents
neurodegeneration and creates new brain cells.
CLINICALLY STUDIED NEUROPHENOL™ berries are high in antioxidants
and it is well documented that blueberries and fruit flavonoids play a significant
role in memory support and a healthy aging brain. Neurophenol is a unique
clinically studied blend of standardized extracts of French Organic Grapes and
Canadian Organic Wild Blueberries providing polyphenols including flavonoids
such as anthocyanins.
A multi-center double-blind, randomized placebo controlled trial with 215 healthy
human subjects between the ages of 60 and 70 years, evaluated the effects of dietary
supplementation with 600mg of Neurophenol versus placebo on memory. After 6
months, participants made fewer memory errors in tests compared to their baseline
scores. The total number of correct words recalled in tests was significantly higher in the
Neurophenol group than in the placebo group after 6 months. The authors concluded
that this study shows the potential benefits of Neurophenol for elderly subjects.
CLINICALLY STUDIED NEUROFACTOR™
Dr. Formulated Memory & Focus for Adults 40+ contains 100mg of Organic
NeuroFactor Whole Coffee Fruit. These 100% organic premium Arabica whole coffee
cherries are grown at a dedicated, family-owned plantation in remote regions of
Mexico. They are hand-harvested to ensure that the highest quality whole Arabica
coffee cherries are used, then the coffee cherries are gently dried to preserve the
unique coffee antioxidants found only in the whole coffee fruit.
Clinically studied Organic NeuroFactor Whole Coffee Fruit has been shown to
increase levels of Brain Derived Neurotropic Factors (BDNF), the protein that creates
new brain cells. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial, NeuroFactor
was compared with other leading botanicals including green coffee bean extract,
caffeine in coffee, and grape seed extract. Only NeuroFactor with the whole coffee
fruit showed a statistically significant increase in BDNF.
This stimulatory effect on BDNF produced by Organic NeuroFactor is thought to be
due to the unique antioxidant profile of this specific ingredient.
There are over 7,000 papers written about
turmeric. We added turmeric (curry spice)
to the formula because curcumin from
turmeric has been shown to possess potent
antioxidant & anti-inflammatory properties.
In a large study of over 1,000 non-demented
elderly Asian subjects age 60-93, scientists
found that those who consumed curry
had significantly better scores on mental
evaluations than those who “never “or
“rarely” consumed curry. Consuming whole
turmeric root daily is beneficial over the long
term for those who don’t include it in their
daily diet.
All the above clinically studied ingredients
and selected whole food ingredients are
delivered in clean tablets utilizing Garden of
Life’s patented Clean Tablet Technology™—
we do not use any of the standard chemicals
and fillers used to make conventional tablets.
All the ingredients we use come from food
ingredients and are Certified USDA Organic
and Non-GMO Project Verified. The base of
the formula, which we describe as Organic
Brain Health Lipid Blend, is a combination of
powdered organic coconut oil and organic
avocado oil—healthy fats to help fat soluble
ingredients vitamin D and turmeric to first be
absorbed in the gut, and to assist with their
assimilation into tissues.
Other ingredients included in this incredible product include Organic Alma Berry
which delivers whole food vitamin C in an antioxidant matrix of polyphenols. These
antioxidants also help to protect brain cells (neurons). Also we added whole food
vitamin D3 800 IU—vitamin D plays a critical role in brain health and important
brain function. In a UK study published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery
and Psychiatry, researchers measured blood levels of vitamin D in more than 3,000
European men between the ages of 40 and 79 and found that those with the highest
blood levels of BDNF did best on memory tests, while those with the lowest levels
performed worst.
