Neuroberry® Blackcurrants
Green Tea equivalent of L-theanine
Researched Dose of Bacopa
Blackcurrants have unusually high levels of antioxidants and polyphenols for a berry fruit, even higher than blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. This has shown to improve reaction speed and accuracy in an athletic population [1]. Blackcurrants also have shown to help with cognitive performance [2].
L-theanine is a rare amino acid with numerous health benefits. It is isolated from green tea via a fermentation process, allowing it to be caffeine-free. Research suggests that L-theanine not only relaxes the mind, but it also does so without causing drowsiness [3]. In a review of five randomized controlled trials that included 104 participants, four trials linked L-theanine with reduced stress and anxiety in people experiencing stressful situations [4].
Bacopa monnieri Linn. (Bacopa) is an aquatic plant that has been used for many centuries in the traditional Ayurvedic medical system of India to enhance memory and intellectual function and promote longevity. Preclinical studies have demonstrated cholinergic, antioxidant, and adaptogenic effects in the central nervous system.
Packing similar flavours as our original formulation, The Brain Shot uses bacoba and ginger to bring a mild earthy taste with a hint of bitterness, alongside spice and sweetness from the ginger.
