brain guard+
(quarterly)

Take 2 capsules daily with water or as recommended by your health care practitioner. Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place without direct sunlight. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant, out of an abundance of caution, we recommend consulting your health care practitioner before using brain guard+ or any dietary supplement product. Keep out of reach of children.

While that decision is completely up to you, many customers choose to take brain guard+ in the morning or midday to take full advantage of this nootropic supplement's multidimensional brain power benefits (i.e., mental clarity, learning, processing, memory, cognitive performance, mood balance, and more). Since brain guard+ does not deliver stimulating effects, it can be combined with your coffee ritual or other caffeine-containing foods, beverages, and supplements (e.g., mbg's focus+ supplement). There is no evidence that brain guard+ ingredients will disrupt sleep. Every individual is unique, so we recommend you personalize your brain guard+ routine to best suit your needs and goals.*

Conversations of adult brain health and cognitive function used to be reserved mostly for “older” years of life, but not anymore. As it turns out, it’s never too early to be proactive about protecting and nourishing your brain. Whether you’re 25 or 75, the scientific discovery of a diverse array of nootropic compounds and advent of neurohacking have changed the brain game, if you will. Our breakthrough brain guard+ supplement provides proactive brain health support across the adult lifespan—optimizing your cognitive longevity, or “brain span.”*

mbg’s brain guard+ features a trio of neuroprotective ingredients providing comprehensive and multidimensional cognitive health and function support. Nutrient-bioactive Cognizin®, not only promotes healthy cell membranes and protection of neural structures but also supports memory, mental sharpness and recall, learning, mental energy, and ability to tune out distractions, to name a few. Unique botanical Sceletium tortuosum (Zembrin®) (commonly known as kanna) promotes cognitive and emotional processes including executive function, cognitive flexibility, and mood balance and relaxation. Finally, longevity polyphenolic phytonutrient resveratrol (Veri-te™) with its antioxidant and vasoactive actions enhances brain blood flow, supports vascular brain health, verbal memory, and cognitive task performance.*

This powerhouse active ingredient trio is delivered in full-potency, clinically researched doses to provide neuroprotective brain nutrition and cognitive vitality advantage each day, whether you are looking to support memory and cognitive performance or be proactive and on top of your brain health, your bases will be covered.*

Our brain guard+ dietary supplement is a "nootropic," a scientific term that refers to a nutrient, botanical phytonutrient, bioactive, or combination of those ingredients that has the ability to act in helpful ways in the central nervous system (CNS), specifically the brain—to promote the health of the brain and enhance its functions. In layman's terms, nootropic actions confer "brain power" in the broadest sense. More specifically, this could look like mental clarity and sharpness, memory, neuronal function, neurotransmitter balance, cognitive performance, and more.*

Absolutely! The same person who leverages brain guard+ may also want to incorporate our focus+ supplement daily, too. No worries, we created the entire mindbodygreen supplements+ portfolio with this synergy potential in mind.

Our focus+ supplement delivers clean, sustainable mind-body energy and focus that you can literally feel, whether you’re working, working out, or running errands. With instant- and sustained-release plant-origin caffeine (from the whole coffee fruit and green coffee beans), L-theanine, ginseng, guarana, and vitamin B12, focus+ delivers sustained energy and focus for enhanced performance and productivity. With advanced technology for extended-time release, this unique nootropic formula delivers on its promise to provide focused energy minus the caffeine crash (goodbye, afternoon slump).*

Meanwhile, our complementary brain guard+ is a nootropic supplement that leverages a trio of neuroprotective bioactives supporting multiple dimensions of daily cognitive health and function including learning, memory, and mental clarity (to name a few), while also providing necessary nourishment for the brain on a daily basis, including supporting the health of neuronal structures, promoting blood flow to the brain, and providing antioxidant protection.*

In summary, our two powerhouse nootropic formulas (focus+ and brain guard+) are complementary and intentionally unique in their ingredients and brain-support actions. You will find both products in our nootropic collection.*

Our high-quality formulas are delivered in premium, sustainable, and recyclable packaging (recyclable amber glass bottles and jars, recyclable bags, and recyclable cardboard shipping boxes made from 100% recycled paper). Always looking towards the latest innovations, we carefully and intentionally source our eco-friendly packaging to prioritize the environment, but also to protect the premium ingredients in our capsules, gelcaps, and powders (i.e., vitamins, minerals, botanicals, peptides, probiotics, bioactives) from UV light degradation. This is pivotal to ensure quality standards throughout the lifecycle of the product.

Unfortunately many refillable bags or containers do not provide the same protection and stability for our ingredients as our amber glass (bottles, jars) and PET bags achieve. What's more, the product-specific manufacturing information (i.e., specific identifiers such as the lot and date) stamped on each product would be lost when the customer discards the refill packaging, as is customary. That lost information would not enable us to comply with a variety of very important FDA regulations specific to dietary supplements (e.g., cGMPs, adverse event reporting, etc.), and regulatory compliance is something that mindbodygreen respects and prioritizes. From an additional safety standpoint, there are also microbial contamination concerns with refillable vessels over time. Thank you for your consideration as to why we have thoughtfully curated our packaging in the way we do.
