--- Keeping on top of our ever-busier lives means it can become harder to retain and recall every little piece of information we are bombarded with on a daily basis. That is why we have formulated Mental Clarity Information Retention*. It is specifically designed to help your attention to detail as well as retaining and recalling information faster.* At the heart of this truly unique formula is KSM 66 a highly concentrated Ashwagandha extract, that preliminary research suggests helps to support memory and mental clarity.* To add to the brain-boosting benefits of KSM-66 Ashwagandha Extract, this formula also features a powerful Ginkgo extract. Ginkgo is known as one of the best botanicals for the brain as research shows that it can improve cognitive function, enhance memory, and support overall blood flow to the brain in healthy individuals.* This product also includes targeted brain nutrition such as Omega-3 Fish Oil, Phosphotidylserine, and Vitamin B12 along with Ginseng extract which is an adaptogen that has been traditionally used as a revitalizing tonic.* This product can be taken daily for ongoing support of mental clarity and overall well-being.* Details on Mental Clarity Information Retention™ Key Ingredients KSM-66®: At the heart of this truly unique formula is KSM 66®, a highly concentrated Ashwagandha extract standardized to 5% withanolides. Ashwagandha is an Ayurvedic herb known for centuries that helps promote balance in the body. It is an adaptogen that helps the body adapt to internal and external stressors while helping to support physical and mental performance. Research suggests that KSM-66® helps support information retention and mental clarity. In a double-blind placebo-controlled study, this amazing ingredient has been shown to help improve memory, executive function, attention, and information processing speed of healthy patients, without any side effects. Emerging research also suggests that KSM-66® may help reduce levels of the "stress hormone" cortisol, and participants of the clinical trial reported reduced feelings of stress and anxiety and an enhanced sense of well-being.[1] Gingko: This formula also features Ginkgo extract, known as one of the best botanicals for the brain. It has extraordinary neuro-protective properties, can improve cognitive function, and enhance memory in healthy individuals. In addition, emerging research suggests that Ginkgo may support blood flow to the brain. This botanical is also known to be an excellent free-radical scavenger in the body and it supplies powerful brain antioxidant compounds. The Ginkgo extract used in Mental Clarity Information Retention™ is standardized to 24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones to ensure optimum potency.[2-5] Ginseng: This product also includes Ginseng extract, an adaptogen that has been traditionally used as a revitalizing tonic. The root of the ginseng plant has been widely used for regulating energy in the body and brain.[6] Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3: Mental Clarity Information Retention™ also includes Vitamin D3 and the preferred type of Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin). These Vitamins are essential nutrients that support healthy brain function.[7,8] Gotu Kola and Rhodiola: Gotu Kola is traditionally used to enliven brain function and Rhodiola is an adaptogenic botanical that helps increase the body's resistance to stressors.[9,10] Phosphatidylserine and Huperzine-A: Phosphatidylserine is an important building block for healthy cell membranes in the brain, while Huperzine-A may help support acetylcholine (a key brain chemical that plays a role in memory and cognition).[11,12] Acetyl L-Carnitine: The preferred form of l-carnitine that crosses the blood-brain barrier. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a key precursor to acetylcholine.[13] Fish Oil: Fish Oil supplies omega-3 essential fatty acids. These healthy fats are considered "essential" because the body cannot produce them and therefore must obtain them from the diet. Omega-3s are structurally and functionally integrated into every cell membrane in the body, including brain cells. Their primary purpose is to keep cells fluid, flexible, and permeable. Research confirms that insufficient levels of dietary omega-3 can have devastating effects on the body and can affect brain health and performance.[14]   Summary Mental Clarity Information Retention™ has been uniquely formulated to boost brain function and mental performance overall. The primary health claims of Mental Clarity Information Retention™ cover the following areas: Increase Attention to Detail Helps Retain and Recall Information Faster This product is suitable for anyone who wants to give their brain a nutritional boost and optimize their cognitive abilities.
