A healthy functioning brain is essential for every aspect of life! With a barrage of free-radical producing toxins assaulting our brain everyday, we need all the help we can get to protect the health of our brains. That’s why Dr. Don Colbert developed Brain-Defense. This unique formula is a combination of three powerful whole-food derived antioxidant compounds that help protect the brain from daily oxidative stress.
The safe and effective plant sourced ingredients have been specifically chosen as a comprehensive support system for brain health. Curcumin provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to the brain, pomegranate supports healthy blood flow, and pterostilbene supports mitochondrial function and the reduction of oxidative stress.
Curcumin is one the most studied bio-active ingredients found in turmeric root. It has been shown to exhibit powerful antioxidant properties. Responsible for the characteristic deep orange color of turmeric these powerful compounds squelch free-radicals and help to reduce inflammation in the brain. Curcumin can also support healthy levels of the brain hormone BDNF which can promote growth of new neurons and prevent brain degeneration.
Brain-Defense includes a potent pomegranate whole fruit extract which contains a host of nutrients and flavonoids responsible for the ruby-red color of the fruit. The antioxidants in pomegranate could reduce the buildup of harmful proteins associated with severe memory loss, and help support healthy blood flow. The most prevalent polyphenol found in our extract is ellagic acid which has been shown to have antioxidant capacity, induce anti-inflammatory actions, and possibly act as a neuroprotective.
Pterostilbene, the most bioavailable of several known stilbene compounds, is the primary antioxidant component of blueberries. Found in the deep blue pigment of the fruit, pterostilbene improves mitochondrial function and protects against metabolic disease by activating SIRT-1, which mimics calorie restriction The mitochondria are responsible for generating ATP, the energy our body uses to fuel itself. Combined with its anti-inflammatory properties, this powerful compound perfectly rounds out the Brain-Defense formula
