Mental Edge®

Product Details

Mental Edge® is an advanced nutritional formula to help you meet the demands of a challenging world.

Mental Edge is a literal multivitamin for your brain. This Bio-Aligned Formula combines nutrients, herbs and special ingredients to address multiple, interdependent body systems: neurotransmitter production, antioxidant defense, energy generation, stress response and myelin sheath generation.

Thinking People's Nutrition

Neuro- transmitter Production

Neurons (nerve cells) communicate with each other when neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) cross a small gap, called a synapse, to convey a message from one neuron to the next. Second messengers help transmit the message from the membrane of a receiving neuron to its inner environment.

l-Glutamine, l-Phenylalanine, l-Pyroglutamic Acid, Taurine, l-Tyrosine, Manganese, Vitamins B-1 and B-6, Inositol

Acetylcholine Production

Acetylcholine is one of the most important neurotransmitters in the brain. It is vital for memory and muscle movement. The following ingredients are precursors to acetylcholine. For example, DMAE is particularly important because it more easily crosses the protective blood-brain barrier, making it available to form acetylcholine. DMAE also enhances mental concentration.

DMAE, Phosphatidylcholine, l-Pyroglutamic Acid, Vitamin B-5, Choline

Antioxidant Defense

Antioxidants defend brain tissues and cell membranes. Antioxidants are critical for the brain because neuron cell membranes, where electrical signaling takes place, are primarily composed of lipids (fats) that are vulnerable to peroxidation (rancidification) by free radicals.

DMAE, Ginkgo Biloba, Zinc, Vitamin C

Stress Response

Adaptogenic herbs help provide the brain with the support and energy it needs to deal with the physical and mental stresses of an ever-changing environment.

Gotu Kola, Schizandra, Siberian Ginseng, Taurine, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Vitamins B-5 and C, Inositol

Energy Metabolism

Just as every cell needs the proper nutrients to survive, so do neurons. The brain accounts for 2% of our body weight, yet uses 15% of our total energy supply. Adequate levels of energy generating nutrients are vital to the high-powered functioning of the brain.

Ginkgo Biloba, l-Glutamine, Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium, Zinc, Vitamins B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5, B-6 and B-12, Biotin, Folic Acid

Myelin Sheath Generation

Myelin, composed of fat and protein, makes up the myelin sheath which forms a protective insulating covering around certain nerve fibers. Properly formed myelin increases nerve impulse conduction.

Vitamins B-5 and B-12
