1) CO2 Hemp Extract We’re now proudly using Kentucky hemp! CO2 extraction from agricultural hemp that is very high in naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids, and other nutritional constituents.
2) Astaxanthin derived from Haematococcus pluvialis (algae) Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring keto-carotenoid found in many algaes, but most abundantly in Haematococcus pluvialis, the source of our active Astixanthin. As a keto-carotenoid, Astaxanthin also falls into the larger class of phyto-chemicals known as terpenes, which as a class are being investigated for their therapeutic potentials. According to all we’ve read, Astaxanthin is one of the few carotenoids that isn’t metabolized into Vitamin A (retinol) when introduced into the human system. C
3) Helichrysum Italicum oil extract Helichrysum, also known as ‘immortelle’ and ‘everlasting,’ is a yellow flower with many varieties all around the world. Our helichrysum is of the italicum specie and serotinum sub-specie, the variety considered the most therapeutic due to it’s very high diketone/italidione and curcuminoid content. We have a direct relationship with a group of farmers in the Balkan Islands who grow it organically and perform a low temperature, long duration hydro (steam) extraction, which is ideal for the constituents being targeted for extraction in this versatile flower.
Helichrysum Italicum is commonly used as an antioxidant and for general wellness.†
We highly recommend researching Helichrysum Italicum through respected websites dedicated to sharing the most comprehensive and honest understandings of Helichrysum and other herbs.
4) MCT (Medium Chain Triglyceride) Oil Our MCT oil is produced from Coconut oil from palm trees. Most fats and contents have been extracted from the coconut oil and what’s left are the MCTs – which are odorless, colorless, stable, and perfect for our blend for reasons described below.
MCT stands for Medium Chain Triglyceride, and is the easiest of fat chains for humans to utilize. As opposed to most fats we receive which are usually either long or short chained, MCTs don’t require any modification for use in the body. For this reason they are immediately absorbed and used as instant energy, and are generally not stored for very long in the body like other fats can be. MCTs are great for binding fat soluble compounds like cannabinoids because it’s absorbed so immediately, so the cannabidiol and other hemp derived cannabinoids (which are fat soluble) can be absorbed more quickly than with most other fats.†
5) Organic Hempseed Oil Our unrefined, organic virgin Hempseed oil is cold pressed from hemp seeds that were obtained without the use of fertilizers or pesticides. Hempseed oil is hailed by many for its 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, the optimal ratio required by human bodies.† And because cannabinoids bind to fats, we find the specific fatty acid content in hempseed oil to be ideal for use as a base oil in our BrainPower blend, in addition to MCT oil.
Standard Use & Typical Serving Size Best kept refrigerated (can be left out of the fridge, too). Most people swallow 15 drops, as desired. The amount of BrainPower that people take on a daily basis can vary greatly. It can be taken day or night, before or after a meal.
