Nootropics are becoming a popular topic and can be defined as nutritive agents that enhance cognitive performance by:

  • increasing mental functions such as memory and attention
  • increasing blood circulation to the brain
  • boosting the energy and oxygen flow to the brain.

Antioxidants are crucial as they protect against oxidative damage mediated by a variety of mechanisms:

  • elimination of singlet oxygen and radicals
  • the suppression of lipid peroxidation
  • regulation of gene expression associated with oxidative stress.

Factors in aging of the brain is include increased inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, disrupted calcium homeostasis, and elevated oxidative stress.

The ingredients in GenZogenol-R have a positive impact on treating and preventing neurodegeneration.  In recent posts, I have discussed the characteristics of each ingredient and specifically for brain health, the following is a brief summary of each.

  • Enzogenol can reduce brain fatigue during cognitive loading and has the potential to improve brain functioning in the chronic phase of concussion.
  • Quercetin acts on several molecular signals, including ion channels, neuroreceptors, inflammatory receptor signaling and regulates neurotrophic and anti-oxidative signaling molecules. It is able to cross the blood brain barrier and enhances learning and memory by reduction of oxidative stress
  • Pterostilbene boosts the expression of antioxidant proteins and supports neuron growth, memory, and learning. It plays a significant role as an antioxidant by up-regulating reversing cognitive behavioral deficits and releasing dopamine.
  • Lecithin can act as a nootropic by increasing brain acetylcholine and providing phosphatidylserine.
  • Astaxanthin administration improved the sensorimotor performance and the promotes neuronal survival and plasticity.
  • Numerous studies in animals have shown that Resveratrol can reduce depression, treat addictions, protect against memory loss, is anti-anxiety, reduces plaques in Alzheimer’s disease, improves learning, memory and mood, protects the brain from stroke and shields from hearing loss.

TESTIMONIAL

“I have my new super power! I was blown away by the results I had from taking Pricera and GenZogenol-R (from Integra) within a week. I’m an endurance athlete who runs 100+ KM ultra-marathons and I’m also a business coach. Both for my running and my business.

My performance has improved immensely and I’m able to run longer and faster. I’m also recovering much quicker. I have less muscle stiffness and I don’t have the same “brain fog” that athletes tend to get after a big endurance event.

During my last few races, I’ve passed other runners and many of them ask me, “How are you still running and looking so fresh?” This supplement is my secret weapon. I have a mental clarity that I haven’t had before. I’ve improved my finish line times by over 2 hours!

This supplement has made such a massive impact in my life. I feel unstoppable. I highly recommend Integra’s health products. ”
