Mental Edge Bio-Aligned Formula
Foundational Support

Aging and nutritional imbalances can disrupt the multiple body systems that affect healthy brain function. The result: cognitive symptoms such as forgetfulness, inability to focus, and mental fatigue.

Mental Edge is a Bio-Aligned Formula that supports the interdependent body systems involved with healthy brain function. Mental Edge formula combines nutrients, herbs and special ingredients to address multiple, interdependent body systems: neurotransmitter production, antioxidant defense, energy generation, stress response and myelin sheath generation.

Mental Edge - A Literal Multivitamin for Your Brain

• Neurotransmitter Production
  Neurons (nerve cells) communicate with each other when neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) cross a small gap, called a synapse, to convey a message from one neuron to the next. Second messengers help transmit the message from the membrane of a receiving neuron to its inner environment.
  
  
• Acetylcholine Production
  Acetylcholine is one of the most important neurotransmitters in the brain. It is vital for memory and muscle movement. The following ingredients are precursors to acetylcholine. For example, DMAE is particularly important because it more easily crosses the protective blood-brain barrier, making it available to form acetylcholine. DMAE also enhances mental concentration.
  
  
• Antioxidant Defense
  Antioxidants defend brain tissues and cell membranes. Antioxidants are critical for the brain because neuron cell membranes, where electrical signaling takes place, are primarily composed of lipids (fats) that are vulnerable to peroxidation (rancidification) by free radicals.
  
  
• Stress Response
  Adaptogenic herbs help provide the brain with the support and energy it needs to deal with the physical and mental stresses of an ever-changing environment.
  
  
• Energy Metabolism
  Just as every cell needs the proper nutrients to survive, so do neurons. The brain accounts for 2% of our body weight, yet uses 15% of our total energy supply. Adequate levels of energy generating nutrients are vital to the highpowered functioning of the brain.
  
  
• Myelin Sheath Generation
  Myelin, composed of fat and protein, makes up the myelin sheath which forms a protective insulating covering around certain nerve fibers. Properly formed myelin increases nerve impulse conduction.
