Read our product pages for more in-depth information on how each ingredient affects the brain.
Amino Acids are the building blocks of your body, and these compounds play numerous critical roles inside you. They're needed for vital processes such as building proteins, and synthesising hormones and neurotransmitters that carry messages around the brain.Dopamine and Serotonin are the most commonly known neurotransmitters.
Dopamine is associated with pleasure, alongside learning, memory, motor system function, and more.
Serotonin is responsible for regulating your mood and memory function, but it also helps with sleep, sexual function, appetite, temperature regulation, and social behaviour among other things. Serotonin also affects your mood, which is why it's often a target of medications used to treat depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.
The Botanicals used in Cognitively supplements are taken from herbs used in ancient Chinese and Ayurveydic medicine.
In Western medicine, we often use the same botanicals, but we change the name. For example, Digoxin can help an irregular heartbeat and is taken from the Foxglove flower. Never underestimate the power of nature.
Ayurveda is an Indian medical practice that has been used for thousands of years. The philosophy is to cleanse the body and, in doing so, restore balance to the body, mind, and spirit. Ayurveydic methods use diet, herbal medicines, exercise, meditation, breathing, physical therapy, all as part of a holistic regime.
Chinese & Ayurvedic medicinal beliefs are thousands of years old and agree on the modern effects of these botanicals. Examples included in the supplements are 5 HTP, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, Green Tea and Bacopa Monnieri.
