What is the purpose of each ingredient in Optimal Focus † ?Updated 2 months ago

Ingredient

Purpose

Pantothenic Acid 

Precursor for coenzyme A synthesis 

Citicoline

Precursor for acetylcholine synthesis 

Magnesium 

Cofactor for acetylcholine synthesis enzyme

Alpha GPC

Precursor for acetylcholine, supports neuronal cell membranes 

Huperzine

Inhibits destruction of acetylcholine

Uridine 

Precursor for phosphatidylcholine synthesis, supports neuronal cell membranes 

Ginseng

Increases acetylcholine synthesis and release 

DHA

Precursor for phosphatidylcholine synthesis, supports neuronal cell membranes

BacoMind

Increases synthesis of acetylcholine, inhibits destruction of acetylcholine  

The combination of DHA, choline and uridine: support neurogenesis, supports formation of synaptic membranes.†

  • Citicoline (CDP-choline)

    Building block for acetylcholine production

  • Alpha GPC

    Bioactive form of choline that supports cell membrane function and acetylcholine formation

  • Huperzine

    Powerful inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase. In other words, huperzine slows down the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine (ACh).

  • Uridine

    Supports neuronal cell function via membrane synthesis and healthy choline levels.

  • American Ginseng

    Supports increased synaptosomal choline uptake, expression of choline acetyltransferase and stimulation of ACh release, stimulates ACh synthesis enzymes

  • DHA

    Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid, derived from algae which supports neuronal membrane synthesis and repair, neuronal cell function, and healthy choline levels

  • Bacopa Extract

    Bacopa monnieri extract is a neural tonic that supports a healthy memory. It also supports the synthesis of acetylcholine through Acetyltransferase activation.
