Description

Braino – Premium Cognitive Support Formula

Braino is a comprehensive cognitive support formula from Island Nutrition® with clinically relevant doses of cognitive-supporting ingredients and their cofactors. Designed for both short-term, high-intensity cognitive demands and long-term support of neurological function.

This formula addresses multiple aspects of cognitive health: enhanced memory and recall, improved mental clarity and focus, sustained mental energy without jitters, and comprehensive neuroprotection. Each ingredient is included at meaningful doses to work synergistically for optimal cognitive performance.

The ingredients in Braino work in synergy to support a broad range of cognitive functions, including: sustained mental energy without jitters, enhanced focus and concentration, improved cerebral circulation and oxygenation, optimized neurotransmitter activity, protected neuronal membrane integrity, strengthened memory formation and recall, heightened mental alertness, support for sensory processing (eyesight and hearing), cellular repair and regeneration, clearer thinking and creativity, improved verbal fluency, and positive mood support.

Braino provides both immediate mental-energy support and long-term neuroprotective benefits. Some effects are felt immediately while other improvements develop gradually over weeks or months.

What Makes Braino Superior?

Braino includes therapeutic doses of research-supported ingredients — none are included for “window-dressing.” Braino is made with premium-quality raw ingredients.

The ingredients in Braino enhance cognitive function by supporting cerebral circulation and oxygenation, neuronal structure, and cellular regeneration. The formula also optimizes levels of key neurotransmitters including acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin.

Circulation and Oxygen to the Brain

The sustained feeling of enhanced mental clarity is what many Braino users notice first. The brain consumes approximately 20% of the body’s oxygen, and improved circulation can significantly impact cognitive performance.

Braino includes a 120 mg standardized extract of Ginkgo Biloba standardized to 24% flavone glycosides. Ginkgo has been shown to support circulation and cognitive function in clinical studies.

PhosphatidylSerine for Brain Cell Structure

Braino contains a proprietary PhosphatidylSerine (PS) complex that consists of vegetarian PhosphatidylSerine, along with related phospholipids: PhosphatidylCholine, PhosphatidylEthanolamine and PhosphatidylInositol.

PhosphatidylSerine is a key phospholipid for supporting cognitive function. Research shows that PhosphatidylSerine may help support memory function in age-related cognitive changes.

PhosphatidylSerine is concentrated in neuronal membranes and plays a crucial role in cellular signaling. Levels may decline with age. While the body can produce PhosphatidylSerine, supplementation may be beneficial for maintaining optimal levels. The effects of PhosphatidylSerine are cumulative and may be noticed more over time.

Multiple double-blind clinical studies suggest that PhosphatidylSerine may support memory, concentration, learning, word recall and mood in individuals experiencing age-related cognitive changes.

PhosphatidylSerine may influence neurotransmitter systems including acetylcholine, dopamine and norepinephrine, and may support nerve growth factor (NGF). It’s also important for membrane fluidity and synaptic function. The phospholipid complex in Braino supports overall neuronal membrane health and neurotransmitter function.

Acetylcholine Support

Braino provides comprehensive support for acetylcholine, the key neurotransmitter for memory and cognitive processing. Combined with pantothenic acid, the choline in Braino supports the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for learning and memory.

Acetylcholine is important for memory formation, learning, concentration, mood and overall cognitive function. Low levels are associated with age-related cognitive changes. Research has shown that acetylcholine systems are affected in various cognitive conditions.

Supporting healthy acetylcholine levels may be beneficial for maintaining cognitive function with age. Choline also contributes to cellular membranes and may support dendrites. Choline is particularly effective when combined with Huperzine. The choline in Braino is formulated to minimize the fishy odor sometimes reported with some choline supplements.

Club Moss

Huperzine-A (Hup-A) is derived from Chinese Club Moss (huperzia serrata) that inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). This action helps maintain acetylcholine levels. Clinical studies have investigated Huperzine-A for cognitive support.

Braino contains a premium whole-herb extract of Chinese Club Moss, which includes Hup-A, along with Hup-B, Hup-C and other naturally occurring alkaloids and triterpenoids. This full-spectrum approach provides a comprehensive alkaloid profile. This full-spectrum extract has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for centuries.

Neuroprotective Support

Bacopa Monnieri (Bacopa) is an herb traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for cognitive support. When combined with PhosphatidylSerine, Bacopa may provide complementary neuroprotective benefits.

Bacopa, also known as Brahmi, has been traditionally used for memory support and stress management. In traditional use, it has been given to support learning and concentration.

Mitochondrial Energy

Acetyl-l-Carnitine (ALC) supports cellular energy production. It may provide neuroprotective benefits. This amino acid derivative is widely studied for cognitive support.

The primary function of Acetyl-l-Carnitine is transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria for cellular energy production. The mitochondria are the organelles where the majority of cellular ATP is produced. Acetyl-l-Carnitine supports mitochondrial function, which is crucial for neuronal health.

Acetyl-l-Carnitine also has antioxidant properties and may influence dopamine and acetylcholine levels. It may also support Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). Acetyl-l-Carnitine works synergistically when combined with other cognitive support ingredients.

DMAE, Membrane Support

DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) has antioxidant and membrane stabilizing properties. It may support daytime energy, mood, attentiveness, concentration, and sleep quality. DMAE contributes to cellular membrane health throughout the nervous system.

DMAE is a natural substance found in fish like sardines, anchovies and salmon. DMAE may support cognitive performance and focus. This compound is also used in skin care products for its effects on muscle tone.

DMAE may influence acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. Some users report enhanced sensory awareness with DMAE supplementation.

Norepinephrine, Cognitive Energy Support

Braino contains support for norepinephrine, a key neurotransmitter involved in alertness and focus. Norepinephrine (also called noradrenaline) is a neurotransmitter affected by caffeine. Regular caffeine use can impact norepinephrine stores.

Norepinephrine stores are normally replenished during sleep, and supplementation with select amino acids and vitamin cofactors can support healthy norepinephrine levels. This support may help maintain consistent energy levels throughout the day.

Amino Acid Support

L-Tyrosine is a precursor for norepinephrine, dopamine and thyroid hormones. Tyrosine (combined with vitamin C and vitamin B6 cofactors) may support mental energy levels.

L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that can be converted to Tyrosine to support norepinephrine and dopamine levels. L-Phenylalanine supplementation may support alertness and may function as a growth hormone releaser. Depending on individual biochemistry, either amino acid may be more effective.

D/L-Phenylalanine (DLPA) is a 50/50 mixture of the L and D forms of phenylalanine. D-phenylalanine slows the breakdown of endorphins, which may support comfort and mood. Combined with the other ingredients in Braino, DLPA may support contentment and mental balance.

L-Taurine is an antioxidant amino acid that helps regulate electrical impulses in the nervous system. Taurine is found abundantly in the central nervous system, where it may have a regulating influence. Taurine helps moderate stimulant effects and is commonly used in energy drinks.

Proprietary Green Tea Extract

Braino contains a proprietary green tea extract. Green tea is a complex plant with many active constituents. Green tea provides antioxidant support.

Green tea contains naturally occurring caffeine (theine) and related compounds, theobromine and theophylline. Green tea also supplies catechins which may support sustained energy. It also contains polyphenols and theanine, which may promote mental alertness alongside a calm focus.

Vitamin B Complex

The B-complex vitamins support neurotransmitter health, response to stress, and provide antioxidant activity. These vitamins are included in Braino for their individual benefits and as cofactors for the other ingredients.

Capsules, Never Tablets

Braino’s ingredients are delivered in vegetarian capsules, not tablets. Tablets may have slower dissolution rates. They require binding agents and excipients. The manufacturing process for tablets involves compression that may affect ingredient integrity. Capsules provide optimal bioavailability and ingredient protection.
