Brain Factors

Key benefits from supporting BDNF and NAD+ with Brain Factors: 

• Promotes memory and focus by enhancing the communication between brain cells*
• Promotes attention and learning by supporting growth and development of new brain cells*
• Supports cognitive health at every age*
• Nutritional support for dealing with brain fog in older or over-stressed individuals*

What is BDNF and why is it important?

BDNF – brain-derived neurotrophic factor – is a protein that helps the brain flourish, providing support for brain cells and the nervous system. As we age, the level of BDNF declines, and a low level of BDNF is associated with multiple negative effects of aging.

Coffee fruit extract helps maintain a healthy BDNF level, which:

• Promotes the development and growth of new brain cells*
• Supports the communication pathways between nerve cells*
• Supports cognitive functions like learning, memory, and focus*
• Supports balanced neurotransmitters – natural chemicals that regulate nervous system functions like mood and sleep*

Why is NAD+ important for healthy aging?

NAD+ – nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide – is an important coenzyme found in every cell. NAD+ is crucial for supporting numerous metabolic and cellular functions in the body. However, NAD+ declines significantly with age, as well as from excessive stress, which can lead to reduced vitality. NR promotes a healthy level of NAD+, which in turn:

• Promotes healthy aging by helping maintain energy production at the cellular level*
• Protects against oxidative stress and the DNA damage that accompanies it*

• Supports normal circadian rhythm – the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle*
• Helps increase the number and health of mitochondria in cells, thus benefiting mitochondrial metabolism*

• Supports cellular repair processes*

The added benefits of betaine:

Supporting the body’s methylation processes optimize the benefits of NR.* Betaine (also known as trimethylglycine) is a superior methyl donor in the body – each molecule of betaine supplies three methyl groups. By promoting efficient methylation, the betaine in Thorne’s Brain Factors:

• Supports important cognitive functions in aging adults, like memory and focus*
• Enhances optimal metabolism of NAD+*
• Helps maintain balanced levels of neurotransmitters in the brain*
• Promotes a healthy level of homocysteine in the blood, which supports cognitive and cardiovascular health*
