| KIDS BrainSustain (patent pending) was developed by David Perlmutter, MD, FACN, Board Certified Neurologist and internationally recognized leader in nutritional neurology. KIDS BrainSustain provides the most potent and comprehensive formula of clinically proven ingredients to enhance children's brain performance and development. Suggested Use:
Mix one scoop with 8 oz of reduced fat Vitamin A&D milk, soy or rice beverage. For use by children 4 years of age or older. Ingredients:
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) dramatically increases the body’s production of glutathione, one of the brain’s most important antioxidants. NAC itself is a potent antioxidant shown to reduce formation of nitric oxide, a free radical implicated for a causative role in Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders.(1)
* Phosphatidylserine produces marked memory and learning improvements in demented patients, according to research conducted at Stanford University.(2) Like acetyl-L-carnitine and coenzyme Q-10, phosphatidylserine plays an important role in neuronal energy production and chemical communication.
* Alpha Lipoic Acid provides powerful antioxidant action and regenerates other important brain antioxidants including vitamins E, C, and glutathione. Unlike other antioxidants, alpha lipoic acid is both fat- and water-soluble, greatly enhancing its ability to be absorbed from the gut and penetrate into the brain.(3)
* Coenzyme Q-10 measurably increases the efficiency of cellular energy production, as demonstrated in studies performed at the Massachusetts General Hospital.(4) In addition, it serves as a potent brain antioxidant. These effects explain why major institutions worldwide are vigorously evaluating coenzyme Q10 as a therapeutic aid in brain disorders.(5)
* Gingko biloba, one of the most extensively studied nutritional supplements for neurodegenerative conditions, directly improves brain metabolism, increases brain blood flow, and provides antioxidant action. In a placebo-controlled, double-blind randomized trial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Gingko biloba not only stabilized Alzheimer’s disease; many subjects demonstrated an actual improvement noted in various standardized psychological tests.(6)
