Why Choose CortiClear Focus PS?

CortiClear Focus PS features 150 mg of non-soy, sunflower-sourced phosphatidylserine (PS) per capsule. Phosphatidylserine is a nutrient that is essential for supporting optimal brain function. There are no foods rich in phosphatidylserine; therefore, supplementation is the only way to support healthy levels of this valuable brain nutrient. The body can make phosphatidylserine, but in far from ideal quantities, and natural production of PS decreases as we age.

Brain function is at its peak in the 20s and then naturally declines throughout the rest of life. In the 40s, many people begin to notice subtle changes in cognition and memory. This decline may be caused by the depletion of nutrients that help maintain the integrity of the membrane of brain cells, the cell's protective outer layer. Phosphatidylserine works by rejuvenating and strengthening this membrane, which helps support brain function and may help with absent-mindedness that can result from the normal aging process.

What Is The Recommended Dosage?

Take 1 capsule per day, or as directed by your health-care practitioner. As with any brain-energizing nutrient, phosphatidylserine is best avoided near bedtime as it may interfere with falling asleep.

When introducing a new supplement, we recommend taking the lowest dose for 2-3 days. As tolerated, increase the dose until you have reached the recommended normal or advanced guidelines. Reduce to a tolerable dosage if adverse effects occur.

FAQ's:

Why is supplementation important for phosphatidylserine?

There are no foods rich in phosphatidylserine, making supplementation the only way to support healthy levels. While the body can produce PS, it does so in far from ideal quantities, and natural production decreases with age. This makes supplementation particularly important for supporting brain function and memory as we age.

How does CortiClear Focus PS differ from Phosphatidylcholine?

CortiClear Focus PS provides phosphatidylserine, which is specifically targeted for brain function, memory, neuron communication, and cortisol normalization. Phosphatidylcholine is primarily targeted for liver health, cell membrane integrity throughout the body, acetylcholine production, and fat metabolism. Both are phospholipids essential for cell membrane health, but they serve different primary functions. PS 150 is ideal for brain and cognitive support, while Phosphatidylcholine is ideal for liver and whole-body cell membrane support.

Who may benefit most from CortiClear Focus PS?

Individuals noticing age-related changes in memory or cognitive function, those under chronic stress who may benefit from cortisol normalization, athletes engaging in intense exercise who want to support healthy testosterone-to-cortisol ratios, and anyone seeking a non-soy, sunflower-sourced brain-support nutrient.

What Is Relax Calm™? 

RelaX Calm™ contains valerian root, passion flower, and skullcap, which may promote quality sleep without causing drowsiness or sleep hangover.

The addition of chelated minerals involved in muscle contraction and relaxation responses provides further comprehensive support for muscle relaxation.

This is a blend of calming herbs and minerals designed to support healthy muscle relaxation. RelaX Calm™ contains valerian root, passion flower, and skullcap, which may promote quality sleep without causing drowsiness or sleep-hangover.

The addition of chelated minerals involved in muscle contraction and relaxation responses provides further comprehensive support for muscle relaxation.

What Are The Key Ingredients?

Valerian Root

Research on valerian reports that it has anti-anxiety and sedative effects which help you fall asleep faster and even get a higher-quality of sleep (1, 2).

Research also suggests that valerian can induce a state of relaxation through a series of actions that result in higher GABA production in the brain. Specifically, a compound within valerian called valerenic acid is thought to be responsible for this effect (3).  Optimal GABA levels are crucial to improve sleep quality.

Finally, valerian is effective in combination with herbs such as lemon-balm, passion flower, and skullcap for improving sleep quality.

Passion Flower

Similar to valerian, passion flowers may contribute to a better night of sleep by upregulating GABA levels in the brain. Different studies have also shown that using passionflower has beneficial effects on anxiety, blood pressure, insulin levels, and inflammation (4).

Other studies have shown that passionflower helps reduce muscle tension and improve sleep quality and memory formation (5, 6). 

Lemon Balm

Lemon balm is a traditional European remedy that has been used for hundreds of years to calm the nerves and improve mood. Also known as Melissa, it is commonly used for aromatherapy purposes and to improve sleep quality.

The documented benefits of lemon balm are actually pretty broad and include anti-depressant, PMS relief, anti-microbial, and of course sedative.

Lemon balm is thought to promote relaxation by increasing levels of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in the brain. It is thought to achieve this action by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down GABA, allowing it to remain active in the brain for longer (7).

Skullcap:

This herb, which is in the mint family, gets its name from the cap-like appearance of the outer whorl of the plant’s small blue or purple flowers.  Interestingly, it has been shown to improve blood flow into the brain and has antioxidant benefits that reduce inflammation in the brain and protect against neurodegenerative disorders.

Skullcap has been shown in research studies to have sedative benefits that help induce deep sleep and anti-spasmatic benefits to reduce muscle tension and pain (8). In addition, it has been shown to help reduce anxiety and depression and uplift mood (9).

Magnesium

Magnesium is one of the most abundant minerals in the human body and is used in over 300 different physiological processes. Unfortunately, magnesium is also one of the most pervasive deficiencies in our society today.

This supplement contains 150 mg of magnesium malate chelate.  The malate amino acid helps to support mitochondrial energy production, while the magnesium works to relax muscles, reduce anxiety, and improve restful sleep.

What is Resveratrol Power?

Resveratrol is a powerful polyphenol found in the skin of grapes, red wine, and berries. Among many things, resveratrol has proven to be a potent antioxidant that activates anti-aging pathways, including the SirT1 gene, shown in research to improve energy production and stabilize blood sugar.

Combined with the “king of flavonoids” quercetin, Resveratrol Power provides a synergy of nutrients to defend against oxidative damage, assisting in lowering inflammation and supporting overall immune health.

What are the key ingredients?

• Trans Resveratrol (from 400 mg of Polygonum cuspidatum (root): Sourced from the Japanese knotweed plant in the highest bioavailable form of trans-resveratrol.
• Quercetin (200mg) 

Resveratrol Power is made from non-GMO ingredients, is vegetarian, and free of common allergens including dairy, gluten, and soy.

What are the benefits of Resveratrol Power?

This amazing combination of two major antioxidants delivers support to mitochondrial health by reducing free radical damage contributed by a variety of influences, including the aging process alone.

In nature, resveratrol defends the plant against pests and environmental stressors. Resveratrol is the reason why grapes that are grown in harsh climates have a higher concentration of resveratrol produced in the skin. 

In combination with quercetin, Resveratrol Power supports the aging process, improves skin health, provides protection against cardiovascular damage, and reduces free radical damage to neurons and mitochondria.

What is the recommended dosage?

Normal Dosage:  1 capsule – 2x daily (with or without food)
