ADHA/ ADD Support
Safe, Effective Natural
solution
MODISM Essential nutritional supplement to help improve neurobehavioral
symptoms in individuals with ADHD.
Replenishes intracellular magnesium, zinc and Vitamin B6 to alleviate
behavioural symptoms; directly and indirectly supporting the
methionine cycle, an important cycle for DNA methylation and gene
expression.
WISM For children and adults with ADHD to strengthen neurological development and cognition.
Numerous studies have shown
that omega-3s play an important role in the health of the brain.
Omega-3s, particularly DHA, have the ability to enhance the
cell membranes in the brain. DHA is the most abundant fat in
the brain, and a deficiency in DHA concentrations in brain cell
membranes is directly related to a loss in structural and functional
integrity of the tissue.
Antioxidants also play a role in
brain health. Antioxidants combat oxidative stress by fighting free
radicals.† The
brain is highly susceptible to oxidative stress due to its high
metabolic activity as well as the significant presence of fat in the
brain, which is the target of an oxidative process known as lipid
peroxidation. Additionally, the oxidative damage that
accompanies stress or normal aging can result in the loss of DHA
concentrations, resulting in less than optimal cognitive functioning
.
B-COMPLEX
Vitamin
Bs are essential for optimal mental performance and are necessary
for proper functioning of the nervous system
Helps
to maintain a healthy nervous system, promotes stress relief and
supports mental function.
Vitamin
B6 is needed to make serotonin, a neurotransmitter with
antidepressant benefits.
Vitamins
B-3, B-6, C and the minerals magnesium and zinc frequently produce a
good response in ADHD

Better Brain also contains OmegaXanthin™. A synergistic complex of
three health-promoting compounds from the ocean, OmegaXanthin
provides all the benefits of a high potency Omega-3 supplement plus
two ocean-based antioxidants for an amplified range of benefits
unmatched by ordinary Omega-3 formulations. The combination of highly
purified Omega-3 fatty acids plus the added benefits of fucoxanthin
and astaxanthin, both powerful antioxidants make this a truly unique
formula. The antioxidant capacity of astaxanthin is 14 times
stronger than vitamin E, 53 times stronger than beta-carotene, and 64
times stronger than vitamin C. Astaxanthin is one of the
only antioxidants available that has the unique ability to cross the
blood-brain barrier providing phenomenal benefits to overall brain
health.†
In addition to all the benefits of a
high-potency Omega-3 supplement, Better Brain also includes
Vinpocetine, Bacopa and
Phosphatidylserine, all known for their positive effect
on brain health. All three have been clinically studied in
humans. They also have a long history of use as traditional medicines
in India and Eastern Europe.
1. Vinpocetine, an extract from the periwinkle
plant, has long been used to support cognitive ability and
neurological function. Several studies have shown that this unique
ingredient is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, entering the
brain within minutes to stimulate overall blood-flow to the brain.†
The
brain requires more oxygen than any other organ in the body so it
follows that increasing blood flow to the brain has a profound
effect on brain health. 2. Bacopa, a botanical used for thousands of years in
Ayurvedic medicine in India for its ability to sustain normal memory
function. † Over the last decade, new research has shown the use
of Bacopa to support mental focus, memory and learning functions.
In fact, the extract is commonly used to
enhance memory and concentration, thus improving learning
comprehension and processing skills. Bacopa contains antioxidants
that are thought to protect brain cells, making them stronger and
healthier. The herb also increases serotonin levels, which promote
relaxation. This can help alleviate problematic headaches as well
and has even been used to treat ADHD (Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder).
Bacopa contains saponins
with bacosides that help repair damaged neurons. It also enhances
neurotransmitter activity and neuron production. It is very
beneficial to children who have ADHD as it improves attention and
focus as well.
The bacosides of the
bacopa also protect the brain's memory center from free radical
damage. Some studies suggest that the memory enhancing properties of
bacopa can be due to the increase in the acetycholine levels in the
brain.
Acetylcholine is the
neurotransmitter responsible for carrying messages among the brain
cells and plays a role in retaining information.
Bacopa:
Increases mental agility and alertness
Improves memory
Increases ability to learn new information and skills
Calms the mind, while promoting relaxation
Improves academic performance
- Helps concentration and
focus
3. Phosphatidylserine, a breakthrough compound
normally found in high concentrations in the cell membranes of
neurons, has shown in numerous, recent studies to positively effect
cognitive function and mood.
Finally, the
Oceans 3 Better Brain formula also contains RAW Food-Created
Nutrients™, similar to those found in Vitamin Code®
formulas, including vitamins A, D, E, K and B12.
Vitamin D is
especially suited to the formula since recent science is showing a
link between vitamin D and brain health.
Vitamin B12, a
water-soluble vitamin, also plays a key role in brain health. B12 is
involved in the metabolism of nearly every cell and is particularly
involved in the chemical synthesis of fatty acids that play a crucial
role in brain function. Research shows that a deficiency in B12 can
lead to impaired cognitive function.
