The 21st century has given birth to several stepping stones in our understanding of neuroplasticity and our brain and how it behaves. New research shows that whether we suffer from ADD, PTSD, ADHD or memory loss, certain natural remedies can offer powerful, life-changing help.

So what exactly is cognitive function?

It’s the mental processes that allow us to carry out any task involving learning, thinking, reasoning, remembering, problem-solving, decision making and attention.

It underpins many day-to-day activities and plays a big role when it comes to receiving, selecting, storing, transforming and recovering information. It is our cognitive function that allows us to understand and to relate to the world more effectively.


Now let’s cover ADD

Most people know this as attention deficit disorder. It’s a neurological disorder that causes a range of behavioral problems, such as difficulty attending to instruction, focusing on schoolwork, completing tasks and social interactions.

Many children and young adults are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disordered) and are prescribed medications like Adderall. This and other pharmaceuticals like it act by changing the amounts of certain natural substances in the brain. Adderall belongs to the types of drugs known as stimulants. These types of drugs can have serious side effects, like upset stomach, pain, nausea, headaches, high blood pressure, trouble sleeping and even uncontrolled frustration and/or anger and/or depression. Worse yet is that patients who take these drugs can become dependent or even easily overdose.

So what now? How can we treat ADD & mental performance without taking medication?

Well, thanks to new technology, research, and scientific developments, several all-natural substances are known to balance brain chemistry. This results in better focus, attention, and memory, as well as improved mood. Research has developed to the point that it has become its field. This new field of scientific inquiry is now known as the study of nootropics.

The word “nootropic” was coined in 1972, by Romanian psychologist and chemist Corneliu E. Giurgea.

Its etymology derives from the Greek words nous, meaning “mind”, and trepein meaning “to turn.” Giurgea defined a nootropic as a compound that enhances an aspect of human cognition while being extremely safe. Essentially the idea was that taking a nootropic was a safe way to improve an aspect of human cognition, like memory or reasoning. Over the years the definition of a nootropic has loosened. Today the term nootropic is used to define any number of synthetic and natural substances that improve human cognition.

My recommendation:

The ingredients in AwakenPlus™ have been studied by the top neuroscientists and institutes in the United States and were carefully designed to support cognitive function and mental performance as well as mood. AwakenPlus™ is recommended for professionals who would like support for stress that interferes with concentration, students needing help with retaining information and recall for tests, people suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, ADD and ADHD, elderly people suffering from memory loss or anyone who might benefit from a product that can effectively support brain-chemistry balance.

Its stack has been carefully formulated with ingredient capable of producing benefits within hours and improve over time. You can expect to feel a boost in your energy, alertness, and focus shortly after taking it. Over time, you’ll notice improvements in cognitive function and retention of newly learned information as well as long-term memory. It includes:

Bacopa Monnier — is used to improving memory formation and speed of recall, make learning faster and easier, enhance clarity of thought, and augment overall brain function. It is also believed to act as a brain protectant, and studies show that it has potential as a treatment for dementia.[1]

Bacopa has also been shown to have significant anxiolytic or anti-anxiety effects, producing a feeling of calmness and tranquility and reducing feelings of stress. Users report that it is an excellent general relaxant and can improve the quality of sleep, so they wake feeling rested and refreshed.

Holy Basil Powder — Holy Basil boosts brain health and function in several ways. But two, in particular, stand out.

Holy Basil protects the brain from chronic loud noise. Loud noise exposure, apart from damaging your hearing, is bad news for your heart, endocrine, and nervous system. Loud noise from any source damages DNA, suppresses major neurotransmitters and weakens your immune system. Holy Basil protects your brain from chronic exposure to loud noise.

Holy Basil protects and boosts memory. It is also a potent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. AChE is the enzyme that helps break down acetylcholine once it’s used in your brain. This protects against Alzheimer’s disease.

Holy Basil can protect your brain and body against industrial pollution, heavy metals, physical stress from strenuous physical exertion, stroke, exposure to cold, and excessive noise. It normalizes blood glucose, blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Its boosts memory and cognition through its anxiolytic properties and antidepressant qualities.

Holy Basil protects against toxic chemicals by increasing your body’s levels of glutathione and increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase and catalase. It protects your brain against the toxic effects of many pharmaceuticals including acetaminophen, meloxicam, paracetamol, haloperidol, and anti-tubercular drugs. It also shields your brain from heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium and mercury and from the toxic effects of radiation.

Rhodiola Rosea — A high-altitude herb native to the Arctic areas of Europe and Asia, Rhodiola Rosea has a long history of effectiveness as a tonic for both mind and body. It was commonly used in Chinese, Scandinavian and Russian traditional medicine as a physical restorative, and it remains a popular remedy for fatigue and “burn out” as well as a brain-boosting nootropic that is believed to improve memory and increase productivity.

New research confirms Rhodiola’s physical and mental benefits as a powerful adaptogen or compound that helps prevent the negative effects of stress. It restores energy, improves mood, and enhances cognition. It’s also believed to be an effective brain protectant that could prevent damage from toxins, and some studies suggest it may even promote longevity.

Ginkgo biloba is a very old supplement that’s gaining a new reputation as an effective natural nootropic. Used for thousands of years as a general health tonic, ginkgo Biloba is now a popular memory enhancer, cognition improver, and brain protectant.

Modern research has shown that ginkgo improves circulation and it is being studied as a potential treatment for a variety of ailments related to impaired blood flow, including headaches and sexual dysfunction. It is believed to have some value in combating the memory disorders related to Alzheimer’s disease, and it is known to reduce leg pain and cramping caused by exercise. It has also been shown to benefit people who suffer from Raynaud’s Syndrome, which is a painful response to cold, especially in the fingers and toes.

Ashwagandha is an ancient Ayurvedic medicine used for millennia as a tonic and rejuvenator. New research confirms its capability as an exceptionally effective anti-stress agent and brain protectant and is quickly becoming a key component in many nootropic stacks.

New research confirms that it’s a promising adaptogen that can help prevent and mitigate the effects of stress, and many users find that it’s also an effective anxiolytic that reduces anxiety, enhances mood, and relieves insomnia and other sleep problems.

CDP Choline is a naturally-occurring chemical that many nootropic users consider an essential part of every stack. Safe, powerful, and extremely well-tolerated, it is a memory enhancer and brain-protectant on its own as well as a powerful potentiator in combination with other supplements, particularly the racetams.

While best known for its ability to enhance memory and protect the brain against memory loss, improved memory is only part of the CDP choline picture; it can also heighten focus, increase mental energy, and provide better clarity of thought.

For AwakenPlus™ users, one of the most interesting aspects of supplementing with CDP Choline is its ability to amplify and enhance the effects of other nootropic supplements. It works synergistically with racetam class nootropics, significantly potentiating the effects of memory boosters such as piracetam and pramiracetam while preventing the minor but annoying headaches that are common side effects associated with racetam supplementation.

Lion’s Mane mushroom is one of nature’s most powerful supplements for the brain. There is evidence that has the ability to permanently enhance brain function as well as protect the brain and even promote neurogenesis.

In recent years, the considerable nootropic capabilities of Lion’s Mane have come to the fore, sparked in large part by the discovery of its connection to NGF, a protein that is crucial for the survival and function of nerve cells. Lion’s Mane increases the amount of NGF in the brain, which enhances cognition by reducing inflammation, encouraging neural growth, and improving overall brain health.

Noopept is a potent nootropic that has been shown to improve memory and learning while providing a neuroprotective effect. Noopept’s effects start within mere minutes of ingestion may make it an excellent choice right before mentally demanding tasks.

Noopept is often compared to piracetam and aniracetam. It works via a similar mechanism as piracetam but is estimated to be 1,000 times more potent. Its impressive potency doesn’t imply that its effect is more profound; it simply attunes itself better to the brain’s receptors, and as a result, Noopept can be taken in relatively smaller doses to produce similar effects as that of piracetam.

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a little-known natural compound that plays a very big role in human health and cognition. In addition to maintaining cellular structure and fluidity, it improves mood and memory, enhances focus and learning ability, reduces the effects of stress, increases endurance, and has been proven to slow or even reverse age-related mental decline.

PS is a crucial component of the cellular membrane, a phospholipid layer that surrounds all cells and provides structure and protection.

In humans, PS makes up about 15% of the total phospholipid pool in the brain, with lower concentrations in the lungs, testes, kidneys, liver, skeletal muscle, heart, and blood. Humans typically store about 60 g of PS throughout the body, about half of which is found in neural tissue.

In the cellular membrane, PS works synergistically with omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA to keep the membrane flexible and fluid, promote cellular healing, take in crucial nutrients, and help flush out waste products. PS supplementation has also been shown to positively influence regulating mood and heart rate under stress and maintaining the efficiency of the adrenal glands, especially in response to mental stress.
