Medicinal Ingredients

Turmeric is a spice commonly used in Southeast Asia for over 4000 years and it has well known health benefits and strong anti-inflammatory effects. It acts to block the same anti-inflammatory pathways (COX-2) that NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, naproxen) do.

Some studies  suggest that Turmeric has neuroprotective benefits by removing amyloid plaque formation and prevent their formation. Beta amyloid plaques are associated with Alzheimer’s Disease.

Omega-3 fatty acids can be categorized according to the length of their carbon chain. The long chain fatty acids such as EPA and DHA are recognized for their health benefit. Algae, which contains long chain fatty acids (EPA/DHA) are considered the primary source for omega-3 fatty acid. By consuming Algae, fish bio-accumulate their omega 3 in their body.

The advantage of algal oil is that it is vegan, can be grown in a bioreactor and is therefore bio sustainable avoiding the need to harvest fish and helps with ocean conservation.

EPA/DHA are biologically active compounds and help maintain a health Omega 6: Omega 3 ratio thereby help reduce inflammation, improve cognitive function and has cardiac benefits.

Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps keep your body’s blood and nerve cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all of your cells. It is an essential nutrient for the neurons in the brain. Brain atrophy, which refers to the loss of neurons in the brain, is associated with memory loss and dementia.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a nutrient your body needs to form blood vessels, cartilage, muscle and collagen in bones. Vitamin C is also vital to your body's healing process. As an antioxidant it block damage caused by free radicals, substances that damage DNA. The build up of free radicals over time may contribute to the aging process and the development of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis.

Vitamin D is a nutrient your body needs for building and maintaining healthy bones. It also regulates many other cellular functions in your body. It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties support immune health, muscle function and brain cell activity.

Taurine is an amino acid and it has important functions in the heart, brain and immune system. It helps support nerve growth and aids in digestion. Taurine also regulates minerals and supports the general function of your nervous system, vision and eye. Recent studies suggest that it might also help with longevity by slowing the aging process as our bodies taurine levels decline with age.

We use natural caffeine extracted from Green coffee beans. Caffeine plays an important role in pain modulation through their action on adenosine receptors which are involved in nociception and thereby impact pain modulation. Adenosine is an inhibitor of neuronal activity in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). Pharmaceutical pain products such as Excedrin, contain caffeine giving this pain relieving effect.

l-theanine is an amino acid found in green tea. Studies suggest that it can relieve stress disorders, improve mood, and help maintain normal sleep. The calming effect of L-theanine on the nervous system can reduce the stress and anxiety associated with pain disorders.
