Ingredients
Choline
A rather unknown brain food, that plays a vital part in enhancing memory and other cognitive functions of the brain. This essential nutrient can be found in eggs, milk, peanuts and some types of fish. Choline is also produced by the liver, but our intake often doesn’t meet our daily needs. In the brain, choline boosts the production and release of acetylcholine: This protein is vital to our memory, among other brain functions. A team of researchers from Boston University and Harvard found that people whose diet includes significant amounts of choline are more likely to do well on memory and cognitive ability tests.
Phosphatidyl Serine
This nutrient isn’t just quite a mouthful, it also turns out to be very useful for keeping our mind and memory sharp. This fatty substance protects the cells in your brain and carries messages from one to another. Phosphatidylserine (PS for short) grew in popularity in Europe after its discovery in 1941. Its main sources are soy, white beans, egg yolks and cow/chicken liver. Test subjects in several studies performed better on memory, mood and cognitive tests after taking phosphatidylserine. These potential brain boosting qualities turned PS into a popular supplement in nootropic communities. PS is said to go well with both ginkgo and fish oil, making it a perfect addition to Q-COFFEE MEMORY’s formula.
Ginkgo
For thousands of years, dried ginkgo leaves have been used in traditional Chinese medicine to improve mental vitality. Studies found that ginkgo may be beneficial to cognitive speed and memory.Ginkgo Biloba, also known as the maidenhair tree, is a very old tree species native to China. The first known medicinal use of ginkgo dates back to 15th century China. Several studies have shown that ginkgo may alleviate memory problems typically caused by dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Ginkgo trees have some extreme tenacity: after the 1945 Hiroshima atom bomb explosion, Ginkgo trees were some of the few living things that survived the blast, and soon after fully recovered.
Zinc
This naturally occurring substance is beneficial to many bodily functions, including the development and functioning of the heart and muscles. Zinc is an essential mineral, meaning our human body requires a constant supply of it through our diet. Zinc is present in every cell of our body, and aids growth, DNA synthesis, immune function and many more bodily functions. Zinc occurs naturally in foods like meat, poultry, shellfish and dairy.
Vitamin B12
This vitamin is also known as cobalamin, because all forms of this vitamin contain the biochemically rare element cobalt. B12 is important to the normal functioning of the nervous system, keeping blood cells healthy and the production of DNA. A deficiency of vitamin B-12 can result in neurological difficulties and anemia. For those of you following a plant based diet, it is recommended to watch your B12 intake carefully. Since there are few non-animal sources of the vitamin, supplements may be required to avoid a shortage.
Coffee
Our coffee beans are characterized by a well balanced, smooth coffee taste with a buttery flavor of chocolate and fruits. We make maximum use of mother nature, in support of each enhanced functionality: For ENERGY, we mixed the world’s strongest coffee beans and brewed them specifically to ensure its best kick. For our cognitive variants, we employed a special roasting curve. Our method ensures the maximum amount of phenylindanes, a substance known for its stimulating effect to the brain.
