Brain Complex

Cognique® (complex of brahmi, ginger, rosemary)

Cognique® is a plant-based complex made from three traditional botanicals:

– Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) is a creeping plant traditionally associated with memory and mental clarity in Ayurvedic practice.

– Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is known for its spicy-hot constituents like gingerols, which are studied for their effects on the digestive and nervous systems.

– Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) contains essential oils such as cineole and is traditionally used to promote clarity and concentration.

The combination is based on a long-standing tradition of plant use in Asia and Europe.

Hericium extract (10:1, 30% polysaccharides)

Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a medicinal mushroom traditionally consumed in East Asia. The highly concentrated 10:1 extract contains 30% polysaccharides—including beta-glucans. These compounds are being researched for their potential roles in nerve regeneration, memory, and mental well-being.

Tremella fuciformis extract

Tremella, also known as silver ear, is an edible jelly fungus from traditional Chinese medicine. It contains polysaccharides with water-binding and antioxidant properties. Traditionally valued for skin care and radiance, Tremella is also being increasingly studied in modern nootropic research.

Hericium powder

Unlike the extract, the powder contains the full spectrum of the mushroom in ground form. It complements the extract with unaltered secondary plant compounds and dietary fiber.

Phosphatidylserine (SunPS®)

Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid naturally found in cell membranes—especially in the brain. It plays a role in signal transmission and cell communication. SunPS® is a patented, plant-based form of this molecule, researched in Europe and Asia.

Cognizin® (Citicoline)

Citicoline is a natural substance that contributes to the formation of phosphatidylcholine—a major component of cell membranes. Cognizin® is a patented, highly pure form of citicoline that has been studied for its effects on mental clarity and cognitive performance.

Pine Bark Extract (Pycnogenol®)

Pycnogenol® is a standardized extract from the bark of the French maritime pine (Pinus pinaster). It contains oligomeric procyanidins, which may have antioxidant effects and are associated in research with cognitive performance and vascular protection.

Larch Bark Extract (Taxifolin/Dihydroquercetin)

Taxifolin is a natural flavonoid derived from the Siberian larch (Larix sibirica). It belongs to the polyphenol class and is used in dietary supplements for its antioxidant properties. Studies are investigating its effects on cell protection and circulation.

Ginkgo Biloba Extract (24% Flavone Glycosides, 6% Terpene Lactones)

The ginkgo tree is one of the oldest plant species on Earth. Its standardized extract contains flavonoids and terpene lactones, traditionally associated with mental clarity and cognitive function. The 24/6 dosage is pharmacologically established and well-studied.

Black Pepper Extract (95% Piperine)

Piperine is a natural bioenhancer from black pepper (Piper nigrum). It can improve the bioavailability of many active ingredients by enhancing their absorption in the digestive tract. The extract form with 95% piperine is highly potent.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)

Thiamine is a water-soluble B vitamin that plays a role in many metabolic processes. It is traditionally linked to supporting nerve cells and energy metabolism.

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)

Pantothenic acid is important for the synthesis of coenzyme A—a central molecule in energy metabolism. It is a component of many enzymes and is involved in cognitive and hormonal processes.

Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)

Methylcobalamin is the bioactive form of vitamin B12. It can be directly absorbed by the body and is associated with nerve function, blood formation, and cell division. Methylcobalamin is especially bioavailable.

Zinc (from Zinc Bisglycinate)

Zinc is an essential trace element found in over 300 enzymes. It supports natural cellular processes and is linked to immune function as well as mental performance. The chelated form, zinc bisglycinate, is highly bioavailable and gentle on the stomach.
