Description
Thorne SynaQuell™ is A multi-ingredient nutritional supplement that supports healthy brain structure and cognitive function.
Benefits:
- Brain health nutrients: A comprehensive brain support formula for the contact sport athlete*
- Synergistic ingredients: Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), branched-chain amino acids, DHA, NR, Coenzyme Q10, and other key nutrients for promoting brain health, cognitive function, and cellular energy production*
- BHB: Ketones, such as BHB, supply 70 percent of the brain’s energy needs.* Ketones provide an alternate fuel source for the injured and the uninjured brain*
- Professional formulation: Formulated by a neurologist whose specialty is sports medicine
Directions:
Suggested Use:
Mix 2 scoops with at least 8 ounces of water two times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.
Serving Size: 2 Scoop
Ingredients:
Formulated to support brain health by enhancing cellular energy production and encouraging a healthy balance of inflammatory cytokines* NSF Certified for Sport®
Key ingredients in SynaQuell and their key benefits:
- Ketones, such as BHB, provide an alternate fuel source for both injured and uninjured brains.*
- BCAAs are important precursors to the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine.*
- CoQ10 phytosome supports cognitive function by reducing oxidative stress and supporting mitochondrial function.*
- DHA, an essential fatty acid found in high concentrations in membranes of the brain’s nerve cells, supports a healthy balance of inflammatory cytokines in the brain.*
- Nicotinamide riboside (NR) promotes NAD+ production, a key substance that protects brain cells.*
A closer look at the ingredients in SynaQuell
Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is a ketone. Why a ketone?
- Ketones, such as BHB, supply 70 percent of the brain’s energy needs – and do so much more efficiently than glucose.*
- Ketones provide an alternate fuel source for both the injured and uninjured brain.*
- BHB is neuroprotective because it increases the production of new mitochondria, which in turn increases ATP (energy production) in brain and nerve cells.*
- BHB enhances cerebral blood flow.*
- BHB resists the damaging effects of oxidative stress.*
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs):
- BCAAs include leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
- They readily cross the blood-brain barrier.
- BCAAs and their metabolites have been shown to decline as a result of a mild impact to the brain.
- In the brain, BCAAs serve as important precursors to the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine.*
Coenzyme Q10 phytosome (Ubiqsome®)
- Coenzyme Q10 benefits cognitive function by reducing oxidative stress and supporting mitochondrial function.*
- CoQ10 levels naturally drop with intensive exercise and during aging.
- Ubiqsome provides 3-times better absorption than ordinary coenzyme Q10.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA):
- Testing of the Omega-3 Index (the relative percentages of EPA and DHA in red blood cells) in college football players found insufficient levels of these important omega-3 fatty acids in this population.
- DHA, which is found in high concentrations in the membranes of the brain’s nerve cells, supports a healthy balance of inflammatory cytokines in the brain.*
- DHA supports cognitive function and learning ability.*
- DHA is neuroprotective and supports healthy levels of brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF).*
Nicotinamide riboside:
- Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is converted to NAD+ in the body. NAD+ helps convert food into energy and protects cells from damage.*
- NAD+ helps protect brain cells from injury.*
- NR supports learning, memory, and other cognitive functions.*
Additional brain-supportive nutrients
- Several brain-protective nutrients – reduced glutathione (antioxidant), riboflavin 5’-phosphate (active vitamin B2), and magnesium.
- Botanical extracts – curcumin phytosome (Meriva®) and resveratrol – to support a healthy balance of inflammatory cytokines and up-regulate the release of the healthy-aging sirtuin proteins.*
