SmartCap contains 10 mg of Vinpocetine, which is a derivative of Vincamine, the main active principle of the seeds of the periwinkle plant (Vinca minor L.), and is occurring in the d-stereospecific form. Vinpocetine is a powerful memory enhancer (cognitive function, short term memory, power of expression, body coordination, etc.). In the brain, it increases the blood-flow, and also steps up the concentration of the energy carrying molecule ATP, thus improving the utilization of glucose and oxygen. Vinpocetine has been used in Europe for over 30 years.

R (+) Lipoic Acid

Able to pass the blood / brain barrier, R (+) Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant which is also able to regenerate other antioxidants (such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Glutathione, etc.) in the body. RLA provides complete protection against free radical damage and has been found to have neural support and protection against degeneration. This action is especially helpful in the brain.

N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine

The acetyl group that is part of N-acetyl-L-carnitine contributes to the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is required for mental function. May offer protection in age-related memory decline and neuro-degeneration.

DMAE

DMAE is described as a "vitamer" and is believed to help improve memory and brain function by increasing levels of the brain neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It may help support neural health. Acetylcholine is broken down into choline, a b vitamin that has many benefits.
