Why Stress & Cognition Formula

Stress and anxiety are a big deal!

There are 2.5 X more searches in Google for "stress" than "testosterone", and 3.5 X more searches for "anxiety" related terms. "Cognition" however lags with 10X less. Source: Google.

Both testosterone and cognition begin their decline naturally from around age 30. Stress is a function of life.

People are stressed, anxious, and more educated than ever. Unhealthy testosterone levels negatively affect health, and impaired cognition our quality of life, as we age. The question is, what are we doing about it?

Supplements?

Supplements, brain vitamins, brain supplements or nootropics are all terms used and can be confusing at the best of times, and in certain cases considered a waste of money. So best to look at the science, right?

Most of us don't have the time, or knowledge to research, learn, or know what we may actually need.

Why Stress & Cognition?

If you have a job, a family, friends, or just living life, chances are that any one or more of those is causing stress. Prolonged or chronic stress is harmful to your health.

Life is busy and complex. There is a lot to remember, process, and think about. The "youth" no matter how old you are, are ambitious, and always there nipping at the heels or promotion. 

Cognition

Definition: "The mental processes that occur in your brain, including thinking, paying attention, learning, and memory." 

The mental processes that together allow us to function as healthy adults.

How does aging impact cognition?

Brain processing speeds start to decline from age 30 and the change is initially subtle. Most impacted are tasks requiring divided or selective attention.

Stress

Stress is your body's natural response to challenging or demanding situations. Stress in itself is not the problem but prolonged stress is.

Stress and Cognition considerations

1. Can you help your body cope with, and adapt to stress?

2. Can you stay sharp? (concentration, focus, and memory)

3. What about blood circulation, red blood cell health, and inflammation?

4. Can you maintain energy levels with so much going on?

There are many resources online, on exercise, nutrition and sleep, and strategies to help cope with, and manage stress.

We wanted a natural way to support not only our body's stress response but also to support our energy, mental processes, and blood flow in a supplement, or nootropic.

Introducing Nootropics,

Medicinal substances whose action improves human thinking, learning, and memory, especially where function may be impaired (A).

Which are in the Stress & Cogition Formula?

Rhodiola rosea (European herbal medicine) has a long history of use in Russia and Europe. Promotes energy, stamina, strength, mental capacity, athletic performance, resists the effects of stress, and helps manage depression and anxiety symptoms. There are strong anti-aging effects in in different organisms, but right now not enough evidence for humans. The link is worth a read. (1)

Panax Ginseng. Contains ginsenosides and panaxosides and is traditionally used for concentration, memory, and focus. Used in Chinese medicine as a body tonic to relieve fatigue. Works better in middle-aged, and older people, and supports memory when used in conjunction with Gingko leaf extract in ages between 38-66 years (2).

Choline. Your brain and nervous system need it to regulate memory, mood, and other functions. Helps maintain nervous system function and aids the synthesis of neurotransmitters.

Gingko Biloba is an antioxidant that reduces free radicals formed in the body and supports blood circulation and flow.

This is how much how much of the above nootropics we have in Stress & Cognition Formula, versus the upper limits or UL for men. We used webmd.com as the common source for info.

What's in Stress and Cognition Formula 

The four nootropics featured in the table above, and in addition:

Additional ingredients

To the right, the tolerable upper limit (UL) for adult males, included for information.

1. Melissa officinalis (Lemon Balm) 300 mg (UL 500 mg - WebMD)
2. Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) 150 mg (UL 1,000 mg - WebMD)*
3. Tyrosine 1 g (UL 150 mg/KG - WebMD)
4. Iodine 150 micrograms (UL 1,100 micrograms - WedMD)
5. Bacopa monnieri 250 mg (UL 600 mg - WebMD)

* Our Testosterone & Immunity Formula includes 320 mg. If used in conjunction with Stress & Cognition Formula is still safely under the UL in total.

Vitamin B

To the right, is the tolerable upper limit (UL) for adult males per NCBI.
(ND = Not Determined due to lack of adverse effects in the age group.)

1. Vitamin B1 - Thiamine 10 mg (UL - ND)
2. Vitamin B2 - Riboflavin 10 mg (UL - ND)
3. Vitamin B3 - Nicotinamide 20 mg (35 mg/d)
4. Vitamin B5 - Pantothenic Acid 20 mg (UL - ND)
5. Vitamin B6 - Pyridoxine 7.5 mg (100 mg/d)
6. Vitamin B9 - Levomefolic acid 400 micrograms (Folate - 1,000 micrograms/d)

Vitamin B is a water-soluble vitamin; thus, excesses are generally flushed. Note the upper limits on Vit B3, B6, and B12 if you are taking additional supplements.

Why have we included these in the cognition formula? Because B vitamins play an inter-related role in keeping our brains running, and supplements can help support if your diet is deficient.
