This woodsy, earthy, brain-candy infusion is a combination of herbs that help to support the brain with memory function, clarity and focus, a most excellent choice for the philosopher and the student alike.
Moringa is known for its high iron content, which is essential for an optimal brain function. Your brain relies on healthy blood circulation and oxygen flow to perform its functions, and iron plays an important role in that. Iron is a component of hemoglobin, the primary protein in your red blood cells. Without adequate iron, your hemoglobin struggles to carry oxygen as well as other essential vitamins and minerals to the brain. This can subsequently impact your overall mental clarity and capacity.
Research search shows that moringa may help to enhance memory by altering an enzyme activity in the hippocampus. It also has the ability to help reduce oxidative stress and neurodegeneration. This allows one to learn new materials easier, retain information more effectively as well as help reserve your brain capacity!
Brahmi, otherwise known in Ayurveda as bacopa, is believed to sharpen the brain by protecting cells and increasing chemicals associated with learning and memory. This herb also fights to alleviate stress & anxiety and may help assist with ADHD symptoms.
Rosemary is a common culinary garden herb that has long been associated with better overall brain function. Research shows that simply inhaling the aromatics of rosemary can help lower cortisol levels, potentially reducing stress or anxiety. It helps to boost mental energy, focus and enhance mental alertness.
Gotu kola has long been used to aid with brain health for issues such as mental fatigue, anxiety and depression by increasing the feel-good neurotransmitters: serotonin, dopamine & norepinephrine, while helping to reduce cortisol levels. Gotu kola activates the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that acts like fertilizer for your brain, encouraging new brain cell formation. In this way, it works similarly to the “other brahmi,” bacopa. Gotu kola has been shown to help increase nerve growth factor (NGF). Most plants have some antioxidant capacity, but gotu kola excels as a neuroprotective antioxidant which may protect the brain from the assaults of everyday life. This herb works to help protect the brain from the harmful effects of free radical damage. Gotu kola can help bring centeredness, grounding and alertness.
Another popular culinary herb, peppermint, is also noted for its powerful aromatic properties, helping to stimulate the areas of the brain responsible for alertness, resulting in increased focus and concentration.
