Formula Ingredients & Benefits
Vegan Protein (rice, pea, and quinoa)
- Plant-based source of easily digestible essential and branched-chain amino acids.
- Pea protein contains all nine essential amino acids and all three branched-chain amino acids.
MCT Oil
- Supports cognitive function, exercise performance, appetite control, reduced body fat, antioxidant support, increased metabolic rate, increased ketone bodies, reduced inflammation, and may combat neurodegenerative disease (10,11,12,13).
- Increases ketone production and provides an energy source during ketogenic diets (10,12).
- May combat neurodegenerative disease via increased anti-inflammatory effects of ketone bodies (11,13).
- Supports cognitive function via ketone absorption across the blood-brain barrier and is utilized as cerebral bioenergetic fuel (10,12,13).
- Increases metabolic rate via increased thermogenesis and caloric expenditure from exercise (12).
- Increases energy levels via increased absorption and burning of MCT as fuel (12).
Acai Berry
- Supports antioxidant function, reduces blood pressure, supports kidney health, supports blood sugar regulation, supports cardiovascular health, and may combat cancer (7,8,9).
- Supports antioxidant function via polyphenolic components with high levels of anthocyanins (cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside) (7,8,9).
- May combat carcinogenesis via reduction of tumor cell proliferation, multiplicity and size of the tumors, increased anti-inflammatory capacity, increased antiproliferative activity, and increased pro-apoptotic activity (7).
Acerola (Vitamin C)
- Supports immune, cardiovascular, skin, cognitive, fat-burning, and digestive health (1,2).
- Supports immune health via increased oxidant, free radical scavenging, and fueling neutrophilic (immune cell) activity in chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and microbial killing (1,2).
- Supports fat burning by increasing carnitine biosynthesis (molecule required for mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation) (1,2).
- Supports accelerate bone healing after a fracture, increases type I collagen synthesis, and reduces oxidative stress (inflammation) (2).
- Supports reduced DNA damage in the kidney, liver, and bone marrow (14).
Goji Berry
- Supports immune health, vision health, immune health, and aids as a neuroprotective agent (5,6).
- Supports immune function via carotenoid and polyphenolic free radical scavenging capabilities, reduced DNA damage, and reduced inflammatory cytokines (5).
- Supports vision health via ocular neuroprotective effects zeaxanthin content (found in goji berry) (6).
- Increases neuronal protection with potent ameliorative effects on neuronal oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and neuronal cell death (6).
Pomegranate
- Supports reduced blood pressure, increased nitric oxide production, immune health, blood sugar regulation, prostate health, gut health, and aids as an antimicrobial compound (3).
- Supports prostate health via high polyphenolic antioxidant levels (three times the antioxidant activity of green tea) that protect the prostate gland from inflammation (3).
- Supports reduced blood pressure via increased nitric oxide production, increased cardiac output (blood flow), and reduced cholesterol levels (3).
- Supports digestive health by combating inflammatory bowel disease (4).
- Supports immune health via reduced inflammatory cytokines (markers of inflammation) throughout the body (4).
Suggested Use: Mix one heaping scoop with 4-6oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. Vary the amount of liquid for taste preference
