SynaQuell +

SynaQuell + is formulated with the best-researched nutrients for post-impact brain support.

Brain needs nutrients to provide energy to fuel the nerves, support neurotransmitter production, and protect against oxidative stress. That is why diet and supplementation are so important, particularly for an individual who needs post-impact brain support.

• • Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB)

1. Ketones, such as BHB, supply 70 percent of the brain’s energy needs – and do so much more efficiently than glucose, providing an alternate fuel source for both the injured and uninjured brain.
2. Neuroprotective because it increases mitochondrial biogenesis, which in turn increases ATP (energy production) in brain/nerve cells.
3. Enhances cerebral blood flow.
4. Helps resist the damaging effects of oxidative stress, which can occur after a brain injury.

• • Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)

1. BCAAs include leucine, isoleucine and valine, they readily cross the blood-brain barrier.
2. BCAAs and their metabolites have been shown to decline after even mild impact to the brain. In the brain, BCAAs serve as important precursors to the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine.

• • Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)

1. Tests of the Omega-3 Index (the percentage of EPA and DHA in red blood cells) in college football athletes indicates insufficient levels of these important omega-3 fatty acids in this population.
2. DHA is found in high concentrations in the membranes of the brain’s nerve cells, supports a healthy balance of inflammatory cytokines in the brain.
3. DHA supports cognitive function and learning ability, it is neuroprotective and supports healthy levels of brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF).

• • Additional Supportive Nutrients

1. Two brain-protective antioxidants – NAC and reduced glutathione.
2. Botanical extracts that support a healthy balance of inflammatory cytokines and healthy aging sirtuins – curcumin phytosome (Meriva®) and resveratrol.
3. Neuroprotective vitamin and a neuroprotective mineral – riboflavin 5’-phosphate (active B2) and magnesium.
