This formula contains cognitive and brain supportive nutrients including glycerophosphocholine (GPC), acetyl L-carnitine, phosphatidylserine (PS), inositol, and Ginkgo biloba extract. Each of these nutrients has been extensively researched in relation to their roles in brain health and function.
Glycerophosphocholine (GPC) is a unique osmo-protectant, a clinically proven brain revitalizer, and raises choline-generating unique omega-3 phospholipids to build cell membranes.
The three brain supernutrients GPC, acetyl L-carnitine, and phosphatidylserine (PS) in this formula are assisted by Ginkgo biloba extract, which enhances brain protection. Brain Vitale™ also contains inositol, another key osmo-protectant, and a precursor for second messenger action within the nerve cells.
Dr. Parris Kidd gives this formula a “thumbs up” and says, “This sets the standard for effective brain formulas."

Can Brain Vitale be used with medications?
Consult your healthcare practitioner if you are on certain medications such as blood thinners or anticoagulants, use only at their discretion. Brain Vitale is often combined with anti-depressant medications with only positive results. This is because these two nutrients are natural to the body's metabolism, and their effects are only positive on overall brain health and wellness. .
Are there any side effects to this product?
Taken late in the day, this product may cause difficulty falling asleep due to its brain energizing properties.
Is there anyone who should not take Brain Vitale?
People with seizure disorders or epilepsy should avoid brain-energizing nutrients such as Acetyl-L-Carnitine.
How long will it take before I start feeling the effects of Brain Vitale?
Due to the instant assimilation of these nutrients when taken in powder form, you will feel results in as little as 20 minutes.
Improving Memory and Reversing Senility
Over thirty studies show that Acetyl-L-Carnitine slows or prevents age related decline in mental function.1 1.5 g/day of Acetyl-L-Carnitine given to 236 older adults for forty-five days significantly increased the effectiveness of performance on all the measures of cognitive functioning, memory performance, and constructional thinking.2 Twenty adults given 1.5 g of Acetyl-L-Carnitine experienced reversal of many of the signs of brain aging.3 Alcoholics with cognitive impairment have also benefited from Acetyl-L-Carnitine.4
Speeding Stroke Recovery
One hundred sixty patients who had suffered from a stroke a year or more ago were given 1.5 g of Acetyl- L-Carnitine a day for eight weeks. This led to increased speed of recovery, as well as improved mood and attention span.7
Helping Damaged Nerves and Diabetic Neuropathy
Animal models of sciatic nerve injury show that Acetyl-L-Carnitine dramatically increases the speed of nerve healing and prevents loss of nerve function.15 Acetyl-L-Carnitine should be considered in all cases where physical injury to neurons occurs, including brain injuries from car accidents and other causes.16 Those with brain injuries report that Acetyl-L-Carnitine-especially when combined with phosphatidyl serine-significantly improves overall brain function, attention span, and learning ability. Acetyl- L-Carnitine has also been found helpful in the management of diabetic neuropathy17 especially when combined with lipoic acid and GLA.18
Immune System
Acetyl-L-Carnitine has also been found to be a powerful immune enhancer. This is due to its ability to promote the health of the nervous system, which in turn governs the activity of the immune system. Acetyl-L-Carnitine may offer specific to HIV patients.19,20 and those with tuberculosis.
How Phosphatidyl Serine (PS) benefits Memory and Recall
Memories are formed when a group of brain cells-neurons-talk to each other. Together, neurons create a memory of an event, such as where the keys are, where you put the remote control, or where you parked the car. In order for memories to be both formed and recalled, neurons must talk to each other. Without PS, such communication among neurons is difficult if not impossible. With PS, neurons communicate more effectively. That is why PS has such positive effects on memory, recall, and overall brain function.
Helping Age Related Memory Loss
As we age, most of us lose some memory function. PS may help to reverse or slow this process.21-23 Seventy-five patients with age-related memory impairment were given 300 mg of PS per day for 12 weeks. PS led to improved performance tests related to learning and memory tasks of daily life.24 Another study of thirty-three patients with dementia showed equally promising results. This 8-week study of 300 mg per day of PS showed that PS can significantly improve overall brain wellness in those with dementia.25
Slowing Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a debilitating ailment that destroys the memory of older adults. While there is no cure for Alzheimer's, nutrients like PS may help slow the progression and even reverse some of the symptoms of this disease.26-28 Eighteen patients with Alzheimer's disease given 400 mg of PS per day for 6 months experienced a wide range of positive effects on memory and recall.29 Twenty-five patients with Alzheimer's disease given 300 mg of PS for 12 weeks also saw improvements in brain function. This study also showed that PS may have the most benefit when given in early stages of Alzheimer's.30
Relieving Depression
The effects of phosphatidyl serine on cognitive, affective and behavioral symptoms were studied in a group of 10 elderly women with depressive disorders. Patients were treated with placebo for 15 days, followed by PS at 300 mg/ day for 30 days. PS induced consistent improvement of depressive symptoms, memory and behavior.31
How to Take PS
As with any brain-energizing nutrient, PS is best avoided near bedtime as it may prevent sleep. It is best taken with or before breakfast and lunch. If you are taking PS to treat any medical condition, or are taking medications, especially psychotropic medications, it is advisable to take PS with the guidance of your health care practitioner. PS is derived from soy, and is suitable for vegetarians. The beneficial level of intake of PS according to human research is anywhere from 100- 800 mg per day. Most studies in humans where PS has been used to optimize brain function used 300 mg of PS per day. After an initial loading phase with PS, long term supplementation at l00 mg per day may be sufficient for most adults to maintain optimal brain levels of PS.
