Herbs
Bacopa monnieri (Brahmi) is an Ayurvedic herb with a long history of use for cognitive enhancement. Clinical evidence supports its ability to improve memory, attention, and information processing speed, particularly with sustained use.
Echinacea is a flowering herb widely used to support immune function and reduce the duration and severity of upper respiratory infections. Several species, primarily Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia, are used in herbal medicine.
Amino Acids
L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, playing essential roles in gut integrity, immune function, and muscle recovery. Demand increases significantly during periods of physical stress, illness, or intense exercise.
Fatty Acids
Astaxanthin is a powerful carotenoid antioxidant produced by microalgae. It is 6.000 times more potent than vitamin C in singlet oxygen quenching and supports skin, eye, cardiovascular, and exercise recovery.
Specialty & Other
Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulfur-containing compound that functions as a powerful antioxidant in both water- and fat-soluble environments. It is clinically used for diabetic neuropathy and studied for its role in glucose metabolism and cellular energy production.
Cranberry is a tart berry rich in proanthocyanidins (PACs) that is widely used to support urinary tract health. Research supports its role in preventing recurrent urinary tract infections by inhibiting bacterial adhesion to bladder walls.
Panax ginseng is an adaptogenic root prized in East Asian medicine for over 2,000 years. Clinical evidence supports its role in reducing fatigue, enhancing cognitive performance, and modulating immune function.
Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid that serves as the most effective oral precursor to L-arginine and nitric oxide. It supports cardiovascular function, exercise performance, and blood flow.
Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest living tree species and among the best-selling herbal supplements worldwide. Its standardised extract (EGb 761) is prescribed in Germany for cognitive decline and peripheral circulatory insufficiency.
Chamomile is one of the oldest and most widely used medicinal herbs, valued for its calming and sleep-promoting effects. Its active compounds, particularly apigenin, bind to GABA receptors and have demonstrated anxiolytic properties in clinical trials.
Nootropics
Alpha-GPC is the most bioavailable choline supplement, efficiently crossing the blood-brain barrier to support acetylcholine synthesis. It is used for cognitive enhancement and as an adjunct in dementia treatment.
L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid and precursor to dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. It is primarily used to support cognitive performance under stress, improve focus, and maintain mental resilience during demanding tasks.
L-Carnitine is an amino acid derivative essential for transporting long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production. It supports fat metabolism, exercise recovery, and cognitive function in its acetylated form (ALCAR).
Taurine is a conditionally essential sulfur-containing amino acid abundant in the heart, brain, and retina. It supports cardiovascular function, acts as a cellular antioxidant, and plays important roles in bile acid conjugation and osmoregulation.
L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid and the precursor to serotonin and melatonin. It supports mood regulation, sleep onset, and emotional well-being through the serotonin pathway.
MCT oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (C6–C12) that are rapidly absorbed and converted to ketones, providing quick energy for the brain and body. It is popular in ketogenic diets and sports nutrition.
Valerian is a traditional European herbal sedative with moderate evidence for improving sleep quality and reducing sleep onset latency. It is widely used in Germany as an approved non-prescription sleep aid.
Boswellia serrata resin extract contains boswellic acids, particularly AKBA, which are potent inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase. It is widely studied for its anti-inflammatory effects in osteoarthritis and inflammatory bowel conditions.
Minerals
Copper is an essential trace mineral that serves as a cofactor for numerous enzymes involved in energy production, iron metabolism, connective tissue formation, and antioxidant defense. It is critical for proper nervous system function and red blood cell formation.
Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid essential for neuronal cell membrane integrity and signaling. It is one of the few supplements with an FDA-qualified health claim for reducing cognitive decline risk.
