Description

Physiological effects

• Improves memory, focus, and responsiveness
• Optimizes mental and physical performance
• Helps counter physical and mental stress

Ingredients

• Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) BIO: è uno dei funghi più utilizzati dagli sportivi: aumenta i livelli di energia, migliora la respirazione cellulare, protegge la funzione mitocondriale dallo stress ossidativo, riduce l’infiammazione cronica di basso grado, contrasta la stanchezza psico-fisica migliorando anche memoria e concentrazione focalizzata. Grazie all’elevata presenza di triterpeni modula l’asse dello stress, sostiene le ghiandole surrenali e l’asse ipotalamo-ipofisi-surreni, riduce la sensazione di fatica, regolarizzando i ritmi del sonno
• Cognivia™: Combines the properties of two sage species. Salvia officinalis enhances cognitive performance and goal-oriented focus, while essential oils from Salvia lavandulifolia accelerate memory processes. Studies show improvements in cognitive function, including long-term and executive memory, even after a single dose.
• Bacopin®: (standardized extract of Bacopa monnieri, titrated to 20% bacosides): Supports memory, concentration, and cognitive function. On a physical level, Bacopa improves athletic performance, reduces muscle fatigue, and increases muscle glycogen reserves. Cognitively, it enhances reaction speed, attention, spatial and working memory, and reflex readiness.
• Newcaff® (microencapsulated caffeine): Caffeine is an ergogenic substance. Microencapsulation improves its bioavailability and allows a controlled, sustained release over approximately 4 hours. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated in endurance athletes, intermittent sprint activities, and strength and power sports without affecting insulin and blood glucose levels.

Directions for use

Take 1 capsule per day for maintenance. Increase the dose by 1 capsule per day starting two days before competition, up to 4 capsules on the day of performance.

Format
