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 is the combination my nutritionist approves
Outstanding product and ingredients for eye health with great results
Village Green staff is outstanding and helpful, Louis, Tatiana, Kirstie, & Kala above and beyond
I have used this for many years and like it a lot and will keep on using it
I've been using this for decades. Natural, minimal chemicals that retard the development of stink producing bacteria. Long-lasting on the skin, and months of use per item.
I was asked to write a review I don't know if what I have to say would help but here it is. I am 74 years old and have trusted Village Green for years. Trust is something you earn in my opinion, and they have fulfilled their side of each purchase with professionalism, and I fulfilled mine with loyalty.
