Product description
Stay sharp with Brain Factors, designed to optimize brain health by promoting BDNF, a substance produced by the body that promotes growth of brain and nerve cells, and increasing NAD+, which enhances cellular energy production*
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*
What is BDNF and why is it important?
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*
The added benefits of betaine:
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 Thorne’s Brain Factors:
- Supports important cognitive functions in aging adults, like memory and focus*
- Enhances optimal metabolism of NAD+*
- Helps maintain balanced levels of neurotransmitters in the brain*
- Promotes a healthy level of homocysteine in the blood, which supports cognitive and cardiovascular health*
