All of this combined with natural alkaloids for a crash and attention loss-free high. The result is a clear, powerful mind with maximum concentration just like a samurai.

What makes Samurai Focus unique?

CDP choline1, phosphatidylserine, acetyl carnitine are substances that are one of the few that can pass through the barrier into the brain and support neuronal health1. Combined with standardized extracts of bacopa, lion's mane, rhodiola, ginkgo biloba for cognitive support, this is a very effective tool for enhancing cognitive performance and memory.1

Samurai Focus and Science: How does it work?

Our brain is made up of approximately 86 billion neurons. And each neuron can have up to 10,000 connections with other neurons, creating trillions of synapses. It's basically a little universe inside the head that enables our everyday perception of reality, from our mood to remembering our way home. In order for our neurons to function properly, good nutrition is needed, especially omega 3, but also choline, the most bioavailable version of which that can reach neurons is CDP choline. The brain also needs phosphatidylserine and, last but not least, a substance such as acetyl L-carnitine, which helps to provide energy for the smooth functioning of neurons.

Motivation, concentration and thinking through neurochemistry!

Our motivation and attention are determined by neurotransmitters such as dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin or noradrenaline, whose optimal levels determine how we feel, how motivated we are to live and achieve our goals, how focused we are on a task or how much we enjoy life.2

What are cognitive abilities and why strengthen them?

Just like our muscles, the brain needs to be strengthened and helped to perform better. Cognitive abilities are the mental skills we use to explore the world around us, to learn, to remember information, to solve problems and to adapt to new situations. These abilities are the basis for all thinking and cognition and include attention, memory, learning, language skills, planning, strategic thinking, problem solving, decision making and last but not least perception.

EnXtra® = better alertness and concentration than caffeine

The patented raw material enXtra®4,6 from the Alpinia galanga plant, backed by five human clinical studies, is a caffeine-free nootropic that delivers sustained energy without the burnout that takes place with caffeine. Combined with guarana and green tea extract, which contain small amounts of natural caffeine (66 mg) with alkaloids, it is an excellent combination for reaching your limits without the loss of concentration and burnout that occurs with energy drinks or coffee.

Plant power for mental performance and blood flow to the brain

A constant supply of nutrients and oxygen from the blood to the neurons is important for brain function. The blood supply to the brain is provided by a standardized extract of ginkgo biloba.

B complex for neuronal energy

B vitamins contribute to normal energy metabolism of cells, normal functioning of the nervous system and mental activity. In BrainMax Samurai Focus, the vitamins are used in activated form, so they immediately participate in enzymatic reactions in the cells and are not lost in the conversion to B vitamin coenzymes in the liver as with synthetic forms.
