Nourish Your Brain for Cognitive Wellness

Brain cells are the most complex, long-living, and nutritionally demanding cells in the body. Scientific research has revealed that the quality of brain nutrition directly impacts intelligence, memory, behavior, and concentration. Young or old, our nutritional status plays a vital role in determining how well our brain functions.

Consequently, insufficient supply of essential nutrients to the brain can lead to various cognitive impairments, such as short-term memory loss, diminished focus, fatigue, and cognitive disarray. These symptoms collectively referred to as “brain fog,” signify the detrimental effects of inadequate brain nourishment.

Many dietary supplement ingredients can improve brain health. Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) is the most important form of carnitine, a compound that our body makes (like CoQ10), but sometimes deficiency occurs. Carnitine plays a key role in fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism and energy production and is critical for mitochondrial metabolism. ALC protects and enhances the activity of mitochondria in brain cells and reduces oxidative stress. That leads to higher energy production within brain cells and that leads to better brain function.

Moreover, researchers at Oxford University have found that B-vitamin supplementation can slow the atrophy of specific brain regions that are associated with cognitive decline (2). Additionally, citicoline has been found to support the production of dopamine and serotonin, while also aiding in cellular energy production in the brain, which contributes to improved attention span, vision, memory, and satiety (3).

CEDEM AG Switzerland proudly introduces BrainoMax, an innovative formula that contains a unique blend of all substances needed for supporting brain and mental function including N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Citicoline, B vitamins like B6, B12, and B9 (folic acid) and Piperine. This Swiss-quality product helps improve memory, focus and concentration, reduces mental fatigue, protects brain health, and prevents age-related cognitive decline.
