Description

Your brain is doing far more than you think Reading this sentence seems effortless. But it isn't. Your brain is recognising shapes and turning them into words, retrieving their meanings while holding one thought in your memory long enough to make sense of the next. And that's just reading a few lines on a screen. Think about everything else you've asked your brain to do today: remember a name, follow a conversation, make a decision, concentrate on a job, learn something new... or work out where you left your keys. Behind it all are billions of nerve cells, constantly working and communicating with one another. Which raises an interesting question. What does all that activity need to support it? It's tempting to imagine that memory or concentration depends upon one particular substance. The reality is rather more interesting. Your brain needs energy. Its nerve cells need maintaining and those cells need to communicate with one another. The chemical messengers involved in that communication also need to be made and metabolised. That's why Higher Nature's Advanced Brain Nutrients doesn't rely upon a single fashionable “memory ingredient”. Instead, it brings together B vitamins, choline, phosphatidylserine and amino-acid derivatives, approaching brain nutrition from several different directions. Starting with mental performance Perhaps the least exotic-sounding ingredient is actually one of the most important. Each two-capsule serving contains 200mg of vitamin B5 – pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance, normal energy-yielding metabolism and the normal synthesis and metabolism of some neurotransmitters. It also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. That's a lot of work for one rather overlooked vitamin. Advanced Brain Nutrients also contains vitamins B3 and B12, which contribute to normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function, alongside folate. But Higher Nature hasn't stopped with B vitamins. Choline and phosphatidylserine Choline is an essential nutrient your body uses in a number of ways, including making acetylcholine, one of the chemical messengers used by your nervous system. It's also involved in producing phospholipids – important structural components of cell membranes. Which brings us to phosphatidylserine. Phosphatidylserine is itself a phospholipid and an important component of cell membranes, including those surrounding nerve cells. It's also an ingredient that has attracted considerable scientific interest in relation to memory and cognition – something we'll look at more closely in The Science Behind It. Advanced Brain Nutrients provides both choline and phosphatidylserine. A broader approach to brain nutrition The formula also contains acetyl-L-carnitine and arginine pyroglutamate, completing a much broader combination than you would find in a conventional B-complex or single-ingredient supplement. And perhaps that's the simplest way to understand Advanced Brain Nutrients. It's not built around the idea that one ingredient can somehow “switch on” your memory. Instead, it recognises that behind memory, concentration and learning lies an extraordinarily complex network of nerve cells, membranes, chemical messengers and energy-dependent processes working together every second of every day. Which takes us right back to where we started. Reading this page may have seemed effortless. But while you've been doing it, your brain has been recognising words, remembering ideas, weighing up information and deciding whether Advanced Brain Nutrients is right for you. Your brain is doing far more than you think. 90 capsules — up to 45 day's supply.
