Qualia Mind Key Ingredients

DHA

Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is one of the three main omega-3 fatty acids (or n−3 fatty acids), along with alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). DHA is the most abundant omega-3 fatty acid in the brain, with high concentrations in gray matter and the cerebral cortex, where it is a main structural component of the neuronal cell membrane and supports cell signaling functions. DHA is also found in high concentrations in the retina, where it supports healthy vision. DHA supports dopamine and serotonin signaling. Although DHA can be produced in the body via conversion from its precursor α-linolenic acid (ALA), this occurs only to a limited extent, with diet being the major source of DHA. Cold-water fish are one of the best food sources of DHA (as well as EPA). Most of the DHA in fish originates from the microalgae they consume. DHA from algae, in essence, takes the middleman out of the equation, and is a vegan and vegetarian-friendly way of increasing dietary intake of DHA without having to consume fish or other animal products.*

COGNIZIN® CITICOLINE - Citicoline

Citicoline | CDP-choline | Cytidine 5'-diphosphocholine 

TOP BENEFITS OF COGNIZIN® CITICOLINE

Supports mental energy *

Supports focus and attention *

Supports brain health and cognitive performance *

WHAT IS COGNIZIN® CITICOLINE?

Cognizin® is a branded citicoline (CDP-choline) that provides nutritional support for brain energy, attention, focus, and recall. Citicoline is a choline and cytidine-containing intermediate in the generation of phosphatidylcholine from choline. It can be used to augment the body and brain choline pool. Citicoline and Alpha-glycerophosphocholine (alpha-GPC) are considered the nootropic forms of choline, with both being able to increase brain choline levels, act as building blocks for acetylcholine, and support choline-dependent functions. Following ingestion, citicoline yields choline and cytidine, the latter being converted into uridine in humans. These compounds can be used to produce the phosphatidylcholine needed for the structure and function of healthy cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine can also be used for acetylcholine synthesis . Acetylcholine is central to brain neurotransmission; it plays a supportive role in attention, concentration, mental focus, and memory. Acetylcholine is also used in both the fight or flight and rest and relax parts of the autonomic nervous system, and it is a signaling molecule for activating muscles. Cognizin® is a branded citicoline (CDP-choline) that provides nutritional support for brain energy, attention, focus, and recall.*

NEUROHACKER’S COGNIZIN® CITICOLINE SOURCING

Cognizin® is a registered trademark of Kyowa Hakko Bio Co.

COGNIZIN® CITICOLINE FORMULATING PRINCIPLES AND RATIONALE

Cognizin® Citicoline is typically consumed in amounts between 250 and 500 mg/day when used alone as a nootropic in healthy adults. Neurohacker believes the evidence suggests a threshold response (see Neurohacker Dosing Principles) for citicoline when given to healthy people, which means the majority of functional benefits occur at the lower end of the range, with a doubling of the serving from 250 to 500 mg producing only modest additional functional gains. The amount included in a formulation may be below the amount used in studies when it has been given alone, because Neurohacker Collective’s experience with citicoline is that, when used with other ingredients that influence choline levels and metabolism, a more modest serving can be sufficient.*  

BACOPA MONNIERI

Supports brain function and cognitive performance *

Supports a calm mood *

Supports healthy stress responses *

Supports antioxidant defenses *

Supports neuroprotection *

Supports vascular function *

WHAT IS BACOPA MONNIERI?

Bacopa monnieri has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for almost 3000 years. One of its main traditional uses has been as a neural tonic to support intelligence, cognitive performance, nervous system rejuvenation, and brain function. These traditional uses have made it a favorite nootropic herb. Scientific studies on B. monnieri have focused primarily on cognitive function and mood. B. monnieri has also shown adaptogenic properties, supporting the brain and nervous system during stress. B. monnieri contains saponins called bacosides. These compounds, most notably bacosides A and B, are believed to underlie the plant’s nootropic reputation . B. monnieri also has strong antioxidant properties that may contribute to neuroprotective functions in the brain.* 

NEUROHACKER’S BACOPA MONNIERI SOURCING

Bacopa monnieri Extract is made from plants harvested in India and uses a 10:1 herb to extract ratio.

Bacopa monnieri Extract is standardized to contain 20% bacosides (this is the sum of bacosides such as bacopaside I, bacoside A3, bacopaside II, jujubogenin isomer of bacopasaponin C and bacopasaponin C).

Bacopa monnieri Extract is NON-GMO and vegan.

ALPHA-GLYCEROPHOSPHOCHOLINE (ALPHA-GPC)

Supports cognitive function*

Supports exercise performance* 

WHAT IS ALPHA-GPC?

Alpha-glycerophosphocholine (alpha-GPC) is a choline-containing phospholipid that can be used to augment the body and brain choline pool. In this role it serves as a precursor for both acetylcholine and phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. Alpha-GPC and citicoline (i.e., CDP-choline) are considered the nootropic forms of choline, with both forms able to increase brain choline levels, act as building blocks for acetylcholine, and support choline-dependent neurotransmission . However, of the two, alpha-GPC contains a higher proportion of choline, so a lower dose of alpha-GPC gives greater choline support than a similar dose of citicoline. This means that by weight alpha-GPC is the more efficient choline precursor. Following an oral dose, alpha-GPC metabolizes into choline and the phospholipid glycerophosphate. The choline can be used for acetylcholine synthesis and neurotransmission. Acetylcholine is central to brain neurotransmission; it’s also used in both the fight or flight and rest and relax parts of the autonomic nervous system; and it is a signaling molecule for activating muscles. Because alpha-GPC is a precursor in the biosynthesis of acetylcholine, it plays a supportive role in a variety of cognitive functions, including attention, concentration, mental focus, and memory formation and recall. Alpha-GPC also supports aspects of muscle performance, and is involved in maintaining organs and tissues. And, because alpha-GPC can be readily metabolized into phosphatidylcholine, it can be used to support the structure and function of cell membranes. Alpha-GPC is found in low amounts in a variety of foods and in breast milk .* 

NEUROHACKER’S ALPHA-GPC SOURCING

Alpha-glycerophosphocholine (Alpha-GPC) is a source of choline; it is able to influence both systemic and brain concentrations of choline.

Alpha-GPC is derived from soy.

Neurohacker uses an Alpha-GPC that is sourced to be non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan.

URIDINE

Other common names for Uridine - Uridine Monophosphate | Uridine-5'-Monophosphoric Acid | UMP | 5′-Uridylic Acid

Supports cognitive function*

Supports sleep*

WHAT IS URIDINE?

Uridine is one of the 5 standard nucleosides; the others are adenosine, cytidine, guanosine, and thymidine. These compounds are the building blocks of the main information carrier molecules in the body (DNA and RNA), and play a central role in cellular metabolism. ATP—the “A” standing for adenosine—is known for its role in carrying packets of chemical energy needed for cellular functions. Uridine plays a similar role in two non-ATP high-energy molecules used in a subset of metabolic reactions. Uridine is needed for UTP (made from uridine instead of adenosine) as an activator of substrates in some specific metabolic reactions. Uridine can also be converted into cytidine and support CTP. In this role, it is used for the synthesis of the glycerophospholipids (including phosphatidylcholine in the Kennedy pathway) needed for healthy cell membranes throughout the body and in the brain. And uridine may support different neuroregulatory processes and neurotransmitters. Uridine also crosses the blood-brain barrier . These structural and functional roles have led to it being used as a nootropic. Uridine is considered to be one of the natural sleep-promoting substances made by the brain, acting via uridine receptors in the areas of the brain which regulate natural sleep.* 

NEUROHACKER’S URIDINE MONOPHOSPHATE SOURCING

Uridine is supplied in a phosphorylated form as Uridine-5'-Monophosphoric Acid because this form is more stable, helps it get past the digestive system and liver intact, and allows it to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Uridine is Non-GMO and Vegan.
