Some of the core ingredients contained in Brainbridge are given an in-depth review below.

Bacopa Monniera Leaf

This ingredients benefits were first published in 1982 and has shown to be able to play a critical role in helping to improve learning, focus, attention and memory. It is a well-known Ayurvedic medicinal herb and is prominent in Indian and Chinese traditional literature. In western literature, it has shown to primarily provide memory boosting abilities among many other pharmacological benefits. One study found it to improve mental speed by 31.7% and logical memory by 52.9%. Many studies have also shown it to be able to shield neuronal structure and function.

Huperzine A

This is a firmoss that is derived from Huperzia Serrata, that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for fever and inflammation. It’s recent use has been used for neurological disorders such as alzheimer’s disease and dementia and how it can provide a neuroprotective effect on these types of conditions. It’s suggested mechanism involves its action via central nicotinic and muscarinic receptors. As it produces a potent anti-inflammatory response, this effect provides protection from excitotoxicity and neuronal death.

Theanine

This is an amino acid that is commonly found in the leaves of the plant camellia sinensis. This ingredient is commonly found in a wide range of supplements and for good reason – it helps to improve your focus and concentration, reduce stress and promote an overall feeling of calmness. Its main mechanism involves supporting GABA, alpha brain waves, dopamine and glycine levels in the brain to help improve psychological health. The effects of theanine are amplified when taken with caffeine – something Man Sports have utilised when formulating brainbridge.
