The brain is an incredible, complex organ that is the seat of human intelligence and controller of behavior. The brain controls thought, emotions, memory, motor skills, breathing and other processes that regulate our bodies and keep us alive.1 All this in an organ that weighs about 3 pounds in the average adult. Learning more about this fascinating organ helps us understand how we think and how we can support our brain health and cognitive abilities.Read More
New Scientific Evidence: Carotenoids Protect Brain Function (found in NeoLife Carotenoid Complex)
By: John Miller, Scientific Advisory Board Director
It has been known for many years that dietary carotenoids play diverse roles within our bodies as both fundamental nutrients in systems and processes as well as defenders of the cells and tissues that make up those systems. Much of that knowledge can be tied directly back to the many peer-reviewed scientific papers that showcased and substantiated the many benefits of NeoLife Carotenoid Complex.
Two particular carotenoids; lutein and zeaxanthin (both present in Carotenoid Complex) have been shown to protect delicate tissue in the center of the retina of the eye, the macula lutea, from the degenerative effects of the light that streams into our eyes every moment of our waking lives. Such knowledge is also proof that these carotenoids cross over the blood brain barrier to do that important job.Read More
New Evidence: Omega-3s Support Brain Health Function
John Miller, Scientific Advisory Board Director points to new scientific evidence on 3 specific omega-3s found in NeoLife Salmon Oil Plus.
It is well known that the NeoLife Scientific Advisory Board delivers leading edge science and product formulations long before mainstream science or other product manufacturers. It’s a fact! Once again that fact is showcased in leading edge research. This time it comes from the 11 May 2017 edition of the peer-reviewed journal Nutritional Neuroscience. That article points to the importance of three specific omega-3 fatty acids to brain health and function; ALA – alpha-linolenic acid, SDA – stearidonic acid and ETE – eicosatrienoic acid (also known as ETA(3)).Read More
