Brain Flex's natural ingredients include:

• Vitamin B12
  This vitamin is essential for healthy nerve tissues and to prevent memory loss. Scientists discovered that vitamin B12 helps maintain the myelin sheath of nerve cells, a fatty substance that covers the nerves and allows them to function properly.
  
  Vitamin B12 is also required for converting food into energy, cell replication, and creating the genetic material DNA and RNA.
  
  
• Folic Acid
  A form of vitamin B, folic acid is an essential ingredient for keeping your heart healthy, preventing birth defects, and fighting diseases. Folic acid is also important for your brain, as it helps your body produce a type of neurotransmitter called catecholamines.
  
  Research has shown that low level of folic acid is associated with memory loss. Conversely, people who have high cognitive functioning also have high levels of folic acid.
  
  
• Vitamin C
  There are many health benefits of this powerful antioxidant. Vitamin C has been shown to play a key role in maintaining healthy nerve cells, and in combination with vitamin E and coenzyme Q10, can help prevent memory loss.
  
  
• Choline
  Choline serves as a building block for acetylcholine, a neurotrasmitter in the brain. This nutrient is taken to improve memory and concentration.
  
  
• Ginkgo Biloba
  This popular herbal medicine has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine as memory booster.
  
  Ginkgo helps maintain the tone and elasticity of blood vessels and thereby increases blood flow to the brain and promotes the delivery of additional oxygen and glucose to nerve cells.
  
  Research has shown that because ginkgo helps blood flow to the brain, it can improve memory in people with memory-robbing conditions when compared to placebo.
  
  
• Phosphatidyl choline
  This nutrient is the main component of lecithin. Phosphatidyl choline is required for proper brain development, memory and mental functions. A study showed that phosphatidyl choline can improve the ability of college students to recall lengthy word sequences.
  
  
• Hawthorn Berry
  In addition to its benefits for the heart, Hawthorn berry is an potent antioxidant that works by opening up blood vessels and improving circulation in general.
  
  
• Korean and Siberian Ginseng
  Ginseng is a 2,000-year old herb with multiple health benefits. Its has been used for centuries to boost energy, improve the immune system, enhance sexual performance and increase concentration.
  
  
• Bioperene
  Derived from black pepper, bioperene acts as a thermonutrient and enhances the ability of the body to absorb nutrients.
  
  
• Royal Jelly
  Derived from bee hives, royal jelly contains high concentrations of B-vitamins, as well as minerals, enzymes, hormones, amino acids, and other vitamins. It is also the only natural source of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
  
  
• Gotu Kola
  A key ingredient in Ayurvedic medicine, gotu kola has been used for centuries to improve mental function. Studies on this herb have shown that it is effective in enhancing learning, improving attention span and concentration skills.
  
  
• Phosphatidylserine (PS)
  Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid, a type of fat found in every cell of the body. PS is particularly concentrated in the brain, where it functions by keeping the nerve cell membranes fluid and flexible. It also aids in the proper release and reception of neurotransmitters, and therefore helps memory functions.
  
  Research shows that PS levels decline with age. Supplementation of phosphatidylserine can prevent or reverse the decline in memory, concentration, and abstract thought.
  
  Brain Flex's phosphatidylserine are derived from botanical source (soy lecithin).
  
  
• Coenzyme Q10
  This popular supplement, dubbed "Vitamin Q", is essential for many of the body's metabolic processes. The body's production of coenzyme Q10 decreases with age, and this may be responsible for age-related memory loss. Taking supplements with coenzyme Q10 is part of a well balanced strategy for combating memory loss and improving overall brain function.
  
  
• Acetyl-L-carnitine
  This compound is a form of carnitine that is naturally produced in the brain. Acetyl-L-carnitine or ALC is currently being studied as a promising treatment for memory loss associated with aging and medical conditions.
  
  
• L-Taurine
  This amino acid plays an essential role in brain development and regeneration, as well as in the survival and proliferation of neurons. Taurine is a potent neuroprotector, and protects the nerve cells against oxidative stress and build up of toxins.
  
  Taurine also improves memory in clinical studies, and decreased level of this amino acid has been found in patients with memory impairment. It is likely that taking supplemental taurine will have an effect in improving memory and preventing memory loss.
  
  
• L-Pyroglutamine
  L-pyroglutamine is an amino acid compound that increases the metabolism of acetylcholine-releasing neurons.
  
  
• DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol)
  DMAE is considered a "smart nutrient" and is a precursor to choline and acetylcholine. Supplementation of this nutrient has been reported to improve short-term memory and learning.
