Our Ingredients

Enhance neuroplasticity & neuroprotection - Neuroplasticity is a rewiring of the brain’s neural networks, it is crucial to the learning process and is evidence of the brains’ ability to adapt to new experiences.

Anthocyanins also exhibit neuroprotective activity, which is the ability to keep brain cells healthy and prevent neuronal cell death.

Brain function – Clinical studies are demonstrating blueberries ability to strengthen the connections between neurons, making communication between brain cells more efficient while benefiting brain function and memory in healthy adults.

Stress reducing & mood boosting - In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study (the gold standard for clinical testing) a group of young adults each consumed two cups of blueberries.

Two hours later they had significant improvements across a range of parameters including measures of enthusiasm, alertness and ability to focus.

Clarity+ provides a significant 1000mg of blueberry extract per serving. More importantly our blueberry extract is standardsied to contain 30% anthocyanins which is critical when assessing the quality of a blueberry extract for brain health.

The blueberry extract in Clarity+ is standardised to a minimum 30% anthocyanin content, this means that there are 300mgs of anthocyanins in each serving of Clarity+

Learning & Memory - Pioneering research performed at the University of Queensland, Australia in February 2023, discovered that "the Lion’s Mane mushroom had a significant impact on the growth of brain cells and improving memory".

Mood – Lion’s Mane is considered beneficial for the treatment of mood disorders; current research is even suggesting it may be a genuine alternative to synthetic drug options. This is because Lion’s Mane increases the levels of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the brain. Higher levels of NGF are associated with improved mood & positivity.

Clears “brain fog” - Lion’s Mane exhibits powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, neutralising free radicals & reducing inflammation and damage to brain cells.

Clarity+ contains a market leading 1500mg of Lion’s Mane extract. However quantity in itself does not equal quality. Some of the most beneficial compounds found in the Lion’s Mane mushroom are soluble fibres known as beta-glucans.

A high-quality Lion’s Mane extract will always state the % of beta- glucans present, with that in mind the Lions Mane extract in Clarity+ is independently tested and contains a minimum of 30% beta-glucans.

Reduces stress and anxiety – In large scale human studies, Ashwagandha has been shown to significantly reduce the levels of the “stress hormone“ cortisol in healthy individuals.

Enhances memory and cognition – An eight-week peer reviewed and published study demonstrates that Ashwagandha enhances both immediate and general memory while improving attention and information processing speed.

Neuroprotection – Clinical trials investigating Ashwagandha indicate its extensive potential for neuroprotection. Neuroprotection is the ability to protect brain cells (neurons) from injury, degeneration & daily oxidative stress.

KSM-66 Ashwagandha is a branded, full-spectrum extract, with the highest concentration of all major root only extracts available on the market today, retaining all the natural constituents of the herb. KSM-66 has a minimum 5% concentration of Withanolides ie. the compounds responsible for Ashwagandha’s capacity to reduce stress.

Resilience to stress - at both the cellular and systemic levels. Under clinical and human studies, Rhodiola Rosea consistently results in significant improvements in mood & mental wellbeing.

Cognition - In randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over studies, Rhodiola Rosea supplementation clearly demonstrates a positive effect on cognition.

In one particular study, 40 medical students studying for their final exams, supplemented with Rhodiola Rosea extract. The students demonstrated significant improvements in brain function, mental performance, and general well-being, accompanied by a notable decrease in anxiety.

Fatigue - Clinical trials have demonstrate improvements in fatigue levels after consistent Rhodiola Rosea use. Rhodiola Rosea improves all dimensions of chronic fatigue and ‘burnout’ related symptoms.

The Rhodiola Rosea extract used in Clarity+ is standardised to 3% Rosavins and 1% Salidrosides. These compounds are responsible for Rhodiola Rosea’s anti fatigue and stress ability.

Cognition – Green tea consumption consistently demonstrates benefits to memory, attention and focus, possibly due to its concentrated levels of antioxidants.

Mood - Human studies demonstrate that L-theanine consistently reduces anxiety and induces a calm focused state, without causing drowsiness.

Brain Function – Green tea consumption increases dopamine (the ‘feel good hormone’) and the production of alpha waves in the brain. Alpha waves are thought to increase creativity and support emotional wellbeing.

Many of Green Tea’s benefits can be attributed the presence of a unique amino acid called L-Theanine. Research demonstrates that consumption of 200mg of L-Theanine induces improvements in cognition and the reduction of stress and anxiety.

Both Zone+ and Clarity+ contain 500mg of Green Tea extract, but more importantly, unlike the majority of commercially available Green Tea, this extract has been specifically standardised to contain a minimum of 200mg L-Theanine per serving.

Improves mood – Guayusa is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and amino acids (including L-Theanine). The Guayusa leaf also contains the natural plant chemicals, theobromine and chlorogenic acids, both of which are key contributors to the plants ability to improve mood.

Alertness & concentration – Guayusa leaves are naturally high in caffeine, in fact the people of the Amazon refer to the Guayusa tree as “the night watchman” because of its ability to provide stimulating and sustained energy.

Brain health – The Guayusa leaf contains uniquely high concentrations of antioxidants known as flavanols and flavonoids, which have been shown to prevent and reduce the effects of oxidative stress in the brain cells. There is increasing evidence that these antioxidants are able to increase blood flow to the brain and even increase in the number of connections between neurons.

The Guayusa in Clarity+ (350mg) and Zone+ (1000mg) is sourced from the Amazon’s indigenous farmers who operate sustainable farming practices ensuring that there are no negative environmental impacts as a result of their farming processes.

The Guayusa is high in both naturally occurring caffeine and chlorogenic acids, it is highly stimulating and offers a sustained boost in focus.
