Benefits of Brain-Directed Herbal Supplements

Dr. Oz did a show on healthy ways to boost your energy and less-than-healthy ways to boost your energy.

As part of the show Dr. Oz came to Amen Clinics in Manhattan for brain QEEG brain scans. QEEG measures electrical activity in the brain. We did one at baseline, and another series of them while he was smoking vaporized caffeine, a new form of energy stimulant.

The effects of the vaporized caffeine showed lower delta and theta waves (better energy), higher alpha waves (more alert), but lower beta waves, which could decrease judgment.

To prepare for the segment, we did preliminary QEEG studies on the effects of various commercially available stimulants on the brain:

Energy drinks (caffeine and sugar) … Lowered the slow brain waves (delta and theta) in the brain, consistent with better energy. But they also lowered the relaxation (alpha) and focus (beta) brain waves, consistent with lower sense of peace and concentration. This is definitely not a good idea.

Caffeine, from a strong cup of coffee, lowered relaxation (alpha) and focus (beta) waves, consistent with lower sense of peace and concentration. This may not be a great idea for many people.

We then did three people on our Focus and Energy supplement from BrainMD.

Patient #1 … Increased focus (beta) brain waves.
Patient #2 … Marked reduction in theta waves, which is consistent with better energy and less daydreaming.
Patient #3 (me) … I really felt its effects, lowered sleepy brain waves (delta) and raised my focus (beta and high beta waves), which is consistent with focus.

The real key to boosting your physical and mental energy as well as mental focus, is finding nutritional support that gives, but doesn’t take.

The Amen Clinics testing showed multiple benefits from a smartly formulated brain-directed herbal supplement designed to enhance mental focus and energy

The supplement is BrainMD Health’s very own Focus and Energy formula. The positive energy and mental focus benefits are not too surprising considering the selection of ingredients were made by Dr. Amen himself based on findings from clinical research.

As you will learn in this short video featuring Dr. Amen and BrainMD Health’s Chief Science Officer, Dr. Parris Kidd, Focus and Energy is made up of several potent herbal extracts that support focus and energy naturally through many channels, not just one or two. This is the key to its efficacy and why it benefits so many people, like you, who are seeking a real energy and mental focus boost!

Focus and Energy Explained

Focus and Energy is loaded with a substantial amount of decaffeinated green tea—roughly 600 milligrams! Research shows that green tea catechins boost circulation to the brain. They also support optimal function of the nerve cells. Both are good for optimal mental function.

The formula combines several adaptogenic herbs too, which help the body to deal with stress and adjust to change.

Who doesn’t need support in combating stress and life’s curve balls?

Specifically, Ashwagandha, a long-established Ayurvedic herb, is provided in a highly concentrated, standardized form called Sensoril. It has been clinically studied for its mood- and memory-boosting properties as well as calm support.

Also included are the adaptogenic herbs rhodiola and panax ginseng – both very high quality extracts that provide stress support, help to raise brain energy and help the brain and body adjust to the circulation boost from the green tea extract.

Last, choline, which is now classified as a vitamin, is included to help regulate overall functioning of the nerve cells.

Focus and Energy’s strength and efficacy stem from this unique combination of well-studied herbs and nutrients supporting energy and focus on multiple levels.

If you have issues either with your energy or you need to focus so you can perform better, consider skipping the short-term caffeine fix and trying a healthier solution with Focus and Energy.
