FOR STUDY

Alright, today is Monday and the big exam is coming up fast on Thursday. You were out last night a little later than you meant to and couldn’t get that early start you wanted on the studying. OK so now you have 3 days to cram instead of 4, but you are ready to go and to focus on getting it done. You need this one. But there is something you should know that can make big difference here.

Statistics and research show that the human brain can only function at peak efficiency for limited periods of time even under the best of conditions. And there are many factors that determine how affective you are mentally and for how long. These include but are not limited to, your diet, how hydrated you are, how much rest you get, what kind of physical shape you are in, how much oxygen and glucose your brain is getting and lastly what kinds of supplements you are taking.

What we are discussing here isn’t hype; this is the reality of the society that we live in. Every edge you can grab, you need to take full advantage of and that includes anything that we can do to improve our mental capabilities. Thankfully, today there are a number of things that we can take, and do for ourselves that will help obtain this completely realistic outcome. The good news is that there is plenty of legitimate science to validate the nutritional approach to increasing our cognitive capabilities. If you don’t know what that means, then you definately need to be taking something to jack up the old neurons!

Brain FEED is a new nutritional supplement that assists in helping to increase brain function and to keep you healthy when you need it most.† As you know remembering what you did and ate yesterday is a big bonus, especially as you get older or after that big keg party! So let’s look at the science…

There are hundreds of studies that have appeared in main stream medical journals that prove certain nutrients and herbs will increase the functioning of the brain. The brain requires glucose and oxygen to function at its best; it also requires nutrients such as the B-Vitamins and antioxidants (both nutrient and herbally based) to function as it was meant to. The research shows that these ingredients work, and to their credit and because of this they have been around for many years. Ingredients found in Brain FEED work at the neuro chemical level. By increasing the levels of acetylcholine and the brains ability to make and utilize this neuro chemical your brain will function at a higher level. The storage of memories and retention of knowledge is chemical as well as electrical. What Brain FEED attempts to accomplish is to increase the neurological ‘band-width’ and the voltage at which these neurons fire. By increasing the efficiency of the system, we decrease any potential loss of ‘data’ that will be stored.

With an increase in research over the past ten years the category of ‘Nootropic products’ has really picked up the pace, and it has really made a tremendous difference in the peoples lives that have taken them. Ingredients such as Vinpocetine, Phosphatidylserine and DMAE have really shaken the cognitive enhancement arena to its very core. Ingredients such as these increase brain function at the chemical level and when taken in conjunction with co-factors such as DHA, Co Q-10 and Ginkgo Biloba, it is a ‘stack’ that can’t be beat. For example, it has been well documented that increased amounts of certain fatty acids such as DHA will help to maintain the neural network in the brain. It is also very important in the development of young children’s brains. Research shows that children that have higher amounts of DHA in their diet, have higher IQ’s and more highly developed brains than children that do not ingest it.

BrainFEED was developed to act on several levels of your physiology, one aspect of the product acts to increase blood flow to the brain which increases oxygen and nutrient delivery (Standardized Ginkgo Biloba has been shown to accomplish this). But what really is the fuel that gets the fire burning is the addition of Vinpocetine. Vinpocetine is derived from vincamine, this is an alkaloid found in the periwinkle plant. Research using Vinpocetine shows that it can dilate blood vessels, it enhances circulation in the brain and improves oxygen utilization, Vinpocetine even has antioxidant properties! Vinpocetine has been shown to easily cross the blood-brain barrier where it can do its handy work (It is important to note that the key to the ingestion of any of these ingredients isn’t just the ‘taking of them’; it is also the whether they actually make to where they are needed.)

The second wave of attack is to increase the neuro transmitter production (DMAE has been shown in research to accomplish this) that makes those ‘bad boy’ neurons fire up. Guarana, Yerba Mate, and Green Tea all contribute natural caffeine to increase catecholamine production (if you don’t know what these are, you will after you take BrainFEED…it will automatically just come to you, you won’t even have to look it up!) to place you in a state of mental alertness. We can joke around about this as much as we want, but you are bright enough to know that we are serious when we state that BrainFEED will provide you with the ‘juice’ to power through those tough study sessions. You will know what we are talking about after you have taken BrainFEED for a while and will see how easy memory retention becomes. There is a lot at stake here, it’s your future and this is your opportunity to make it work for you!†

Benefits:

• Potentially increases blood flow in the brain†
• May increase neurotransmitter activity†
• May help to protect the brain against free radical damage†
• Will increase levels of alertness†
• May become your best friend†
• Stop reading and start FEEDing.
