Brain Factors


Key benefits from supporting BDNF and NAD+ with Brain Factors:
- Promotes memory and focus by enhancing the communication between brain cells
- Promotes attention and learning by supporting growth and development of new brain cells
- Supports cognitive health at every age
- Nutritional support for dealing with brain fog in older or over-stressed individuals
BDNF – brain-derived neurotrophic factor – is a protein that helps the brain flourish, providing support for brain cells and the nervous system. As we age, the level of BDNF declines, and a low level of BDNF is associated with multiple negative effects of aging.
Coffee fruit extract helps maintain a healthy BDNF level, which:
- Promotes the development and growth of new brain cells
- Supports the communication pathways between nerve cells
- Supports cognitive functions like learning, memory, and focus
- Supports balanced neurotransmitters – natural chemicals that regulate nervous system functions like mood and sleep
Why is NAD+ important for healthy aging?
NAD+ – nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide – is an important coenzyme found in every cell. NAD+ is crucial for supporting numerous metabolic and cellular functions in the body. However, NAD+ declines significantly with age, as well as from excessive stress, which can lead to reduced vitality.NR promotes a healthy level of NAD+, which in turn:
- Promotes healthy aging by helping maintain energy production at the cellular level
- Protects against oxidative stress and the DNA damage that accompanies it
- Supports normal circadian rhythm – the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle
- Helps increase the number and health of mitochondria in cells, thus benefiting mitochondrial metabolism
- Supports cellular repair processes
Supporting the body’s methylation processes optimize the benefits of NR.* Betaine (also known as trimethylglycine) is a superior methyl donor in the body – each molecule of betaine supplies three methyl groups. By promoting efficient methylation, the betaine in

This was recommended to me at the store, and I like it because it has Zeolite Clinoptilolite (the recommended form) and also fulvic minerals. These make it more bioavailable and also have their own health promoting properties. A true winner in my booki!

Does a great job helping to relax and get a good night's sleep.

Great taste! Great stuff

Fermented Cod Liver Oil & Concentrated Butter Oil Blend - Capsule

Pantethine

I have used these Quick Stop bandages for years they are great. When I got them in the mail a day later my son’s dog scratched my arm real bad. I’m so glad I had them. It took 6 of the bandages to cover the wound. I wish that they had larger ones. I will always keep using them. Thank you so much.

This product is amazing! I take 2 capsules about 45-60 min before shutting off the lights, and I drift into blissful sleep. I have tried so many products to help my sleep, but this is by far the best!

Vitamin D + K2 Liquid

Whenever I have a urinary tract issue, I turn to Uri-Control for relief.

I feel confident that Core Minerals supplies my body with what it needs.

Great product. Great company. Fast shipping.

Biotin

I am prescribed this detox kit from my biotheraputic oncologist. Village Green has the best price around. This kit helps me get through flu season as an elementary school teacher.

This has been a game changer for me I feel much more healthier.

I have now ordered this beet powder several times. I add it to my morning smoothie. It dissolves well, there is no noticeable weird beet taste to it and it makes my smoothie a much more "palatable" looking reddish-pink color (rather than the dull gray-brown it used to be from the protein and other powders mixed in with it). I like that I am getting heart health and other benefits without having to regularly consume beets!
