How can I help enhance my mental performance and keep brain fog at bay?
One of the most prevalent health concerns today is maintaining optimal brain health. Eating well, getting adequate rest, exercising regularly and keeping stress levels low are important factors for supporting cognitive performance and keeping brain fog at bay. While there is no substitute for being well rested, stress-free, and well nourished, sensible supplementation may also help support cognitive performance.† Read on to learn more about Natrol® brainSpeed Memory® and some simple tips on eating for maximum cognitive performance.
Improve decision-making and productivity with Natrol brainSpeed Memory®†
Natrol brainSpeed Memory is an innovative dietary supplement that targets cognitive function. It is specifically formulated for healthy adults interested in nutritional support to aid in recall for mild memory problems associated with aging. If you’re interested in nutritional support to help promote recall and maintain your memory, consider brainSpeed Memory.†
Key nutrients in brainSpeed Memory are found in the patent-pending brainSpeed® blend designed to support the body’s production and activity of acetylcholine. This chemical messenger allows brain cells to communicate with one another.1 The brainSpeed blend nourishes your brain with the B vitamins — thiamin, niacin and pantothenic acid — the herbal compound Huperzine A and the specialty nutrient DMAE. To top it off, brainSpeed Memory also includes the B vitamins folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12 and soy phospholipids.†
Eating for maximum cognitive performance
To maximize your cognitive function, consume brain-essential fats (i.e., phospholipids and omega-3 fats) from foods such as cold-water fish, soybeans, tofu and other soy food products, organic free-range eggs, cold-pressed flax, hemp, pumpkin seed and walnut oils.
Eat protein-rich foods to nourish your brain. The building blocks of protein, the amino acids, are also needed to produce a ready supply of neurotransmitters. For protein-rich foods, consider lean meats, fish, poultry, beans, low-fat dairy products and nuts.
Eat a variety of complex carbohydrates to deliver a steady supply of glucose to your brain. Glucose is the primary nutrient your body uses to fuel your brain cells. Whole grains such as whole wheat, brown rice, corn and oatmeal, sweet potatoes, beans, fruits and vegetables are ideal choices to help fuel your brain.

How does brainSpeed® Blend work to support cognitive function?
The brainSpeed® Blend was formulated to support the body’s production and activity of acetylcholine. This chemical messenger allows brain cells to communicate with each other.†
Nourishing your body with nutrients that can help support the production and activity of acetylcholine is essential for optimal cognitive performance. The brainSpeed® Blend helps achieve this goal by providing three b vitamins – thiamin, niacin and pantothenic acid – the herbal compound Huperzine A and the specialty nutrient DMAE.†
First, thiamin and pantothenic acid help ensure an optimal level of acetyl-CoA second, niacin and DMAE helps support the production of choline. Your body converts these two chemicals – acetyl-CoA and choline – into acetylcholine. Finally Huperzine A inhibits the breakdown of acetylcholine. Together the nutrients in the brainSpeed® Blend can help support optimal acetylcholine activity and overall cognitive performance.†
