Creatine
Creatine is widely known for its role in muscle growth and athletic performance, but did you know it also plays a crucial role in aiding brain function? While creatine is often associated with physical performance, its cognitive benefits are equally impressive. Whether you're looking to boost brain function, enhance memory, or simply stay sharp, creatine supplementation may be a simple yet powerful tool.
Creatine helps fuel cognitive processes like memory, focus, and problem-solving. Research suggests that supplementing with creatine can enhance mental performance, particularly in tasks requiring quick thinking and high concentration.
We offer a range of high-quality creatine options to suit your needs such as: Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate (P0347), Kre-Alkalyn® Buffered Creatine Monohydrate (P11072) and Creatine Monohydrate 200 Mesh (P34259).
Suitable applications include:
-
Nootropic & Brain Performance Formulas: Creatine, combined with other cognitive enhancers like caffeine, L-theanine, and omega-3s, can significantly improve mental clarity, focus, and memory retention.
-
Functional& Nootropic Beverages: Creatine can be infused into energy drinks, nootropic coffees, and functional teas designed to boost cognitive performance without crashes.
-
Cognitive Energy Gummies: Creatine, paired with other brain-supporting nutrients like zinc, magnesium, and B vitamins, can be added to gummies for a convenient and tasty cognitive boost.
Zynamite® (P17827)
As a natural and sustainable alternative to caffeine, this premium botanical ingredient has been shown in clinical trials to provide significant and sustained boosts to mental performance, including reaction time, episodic memory and decision-making. Zynamite can also be used in conjunction with caffeine at a 2:1 ratio for further enhanced effects, making it both the ideal stim-free caffeine replacement ingredient, or the perfect caffeine enhancer.
Studies have shown that Zynamite® activates brain waves in an almost identical pattern to caffeine – but uses a different mechanism that doesn’t cause any of the side effects associated with caffeine such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, jitters, and crashing. Additionally, its effects last from 30 minutes to 5 hours, much longer than caffeine too.
Suitable applications include:
-
Nootropic Formulations: Zynamite® can be combined with other brain-boosting ingredients like caffeine, creatine, and B-vitamins to enhance mental clarity, focus, and memory retention.
-
Mood & Stress Support: Paired with adaptogens like Rhodiola or ashwagandha, Zynamite® helps manage stress while improving cognitive function and reducing mental exhaustion.
-
Functional & Nootropic Beverages: Added to energy drinks, functional teas, and smoothies to provide sustained focus and brain power throughout the day.
-
Cognitive-Enhancing Gummies: A tasty and convenient way to support brain health and reduce mental fatigue.
Coffeine® (P0359)
Coffeine® is naturally sourced and extracted exclusively from coffee beans. It is well known for its properties that increase alertness and reduce fatigue by boosting energy levels.
By blocking adenosine receptors, it helps maintain wakefulness and mental clarity, while also stimulating dopamine and norepinephrine production for enhanced mood and motivation. Coffeine® is particularly beneficial in nootropic supplements, functional beverages, and energy-boosting formulations tailored for students, professionals, and individuals seeking sustained cognitive performance throughout the day. Its neuroprotective properties may also support long-term brain health, making it a valuable component in cognitive enhancement products.
Suitable applications include:
-
Brain-Boosting Capsules & Tablets: Used in formulations for students, professionals, and gamers to enhance cognitive speed and alertness.
-
Functional & Nootropic Beverages: A key ingredient in brain-boosting coffee alternatives and functional teas.
Zinc Bisglycinate, Core Chelate® (P2609)
Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in brain function, and zinc bisglycinate is one of the most bioavailable forms, meaning it’s easily absorbed and utilised by the body.
Zinc bisglycinate is essential for cognitive function, playing a key role in neurotransmitter activity and brain cell signaling. As a highly bioavailable form of zinc, it effectively supports memory, learning, and focus while also aiding in neuroprotection against oxidative stress and inflammation.
Deficiencies in zinc have been linked to impaired attention, slower cognitive processing, and an increased risk of neurodegenerative conditions. By promoting mental clarity and reducing cognitive fatigue, zinc bisglycinate is a valuable addition to nootropic supplements and functional foods designed to support brain health in students, professionals, and aging individuals.
Suitable applications include:
-
Nootropic Blends: Zinc bisglycinate is often combined with magnesium, B vitamins, and adaptogens to support memory, focus, and mental clarity.
-
Stress and Anxiety Support: Zinc plays a role in neurotransmitter function, potentially improving mood and reducing stress-related cognitive decline.
Ferrous Bisglycinate, Core Chelate® (P14923)
Ferrous Bisglycinate is an iron that is part of our core chelate range. Ferrous bisglycinate is ‘gentle iron’ that is favoured by those who experience sensitivity to other forms of iron and it contributes to normal cognition.
Ferrous bisglycinate plays a crucial role in cognitive function by ensuring optimal oxygen delivery to the brain, supporting neurotransmitter synthesis, and maintaining energy metabolism. As a highly bioavailable form of iron, it is particularly effective in preventing and addressing iron deficiency anemia, a condition linked to brain fog, impaired memory, and reduced concentration.
Adequate iron levels are essential for cognitive processes such as focus, learning, and mental clarity, making ferrous bisglycinate a valuable ingredient in nootropic supplements and functional foods. Research suggests that individuals with sufficient iron intake experience improved cognitive performance, quicker information processing, and better overall brain health. This makes ferrous bisglycinate a key component in cognitive-enhancing formulations for students, professionals, and aging individuals at risk of cognitive decline.
Suitable applications include:
-
Brain Health & Memory Support: Iron is essential for oxygen transport in the brain, improving focus and reducing brain fog. Often combined with zinc, B vitamins, and omega-3s.
-
Nootropic & Energy Supplements: Ferrous bisglycinate is used in brain-boosting formulas to combat mental fatigue and enhance cognitive function.
-
Cognitive-Boosting Beverages: Iron-fortified drinks, such as nootropic coffee, plant-based milks, and functional smoothies.
