The human body requires a significant amount of energy to function optimally. The brain has especially high energy demands to not only regulate vital bodily functions but also support peak mental performance.
BrainPower ProEliteX was developed to ensure an optimal delivery of important nutrients to the brain and nervous system. They contribute both directly and indirectly to optimal energy supply, support blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the brain, help reduce tiredness and fatigue, and promote increased alertness and concentration.
BrainPower ProEliteX capsules contain the most comprehensive science-based "Brain Longevity" formula. On one hand, it aims to directly support normal cognitive function through the targeted supply of vital nutrients. On the other hand, it contains important nutrients to support bodily functions indirectly affecting the brain and nervous system: from digestion via the "gut-brain" connection to the gut-brain axis.
- Phosphatidylserine is essential for maintaining healthy cell function and the release of neurotransmitters. Studies suggest that it supports cognitive function in the elderly. [1]
- DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid that contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function with a daily intake of 250 mg. [2]Since DHA is present in many foods, BrainPower ProEliteX supplies 50 mg of DHA per daily dose to support optimal levels.
- Choline contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. [2]Elevated homocysteine levels in the blood can weaken the blood-brain barrier and increase inflammation risk in the neurovascular system.
- According to studies, Lactobacillus paracasei (heat-inactivated) strengthens the integrity of the intestinal lining as a postbiotic and can even positively affect communication between the gut and brain – the so-called gut-brain axis. [3]
- Lion's Mane (bearded hedgehog) contains a combination of different active ingredients that studies suggest may contribute to brain health and provide support in cases of cognitive impairment. [4]
*The health claims in relation to plants and plant substances have not yet been conclusively evaluated. However, due to the number of studies, the efficacy described here can be sufficiently substantiated.
- Mongolian milkvetch contributes to physical and mental well-being and has a positive influence on telomeres (structural elements that maintain chromosome stability), which play an important role in cell ageing. [5]
- Natural caffeine from guarana stimulates the central nervous system, enhances alertness and reduces fatigue, helping to maintain memory and cognitive function. [6] [7]
- Centella asiatica contributes to the maintenance of cognitive performance and supports nerve cell health, among others, due to its strong antioxidant properties. [8]
- Ginkgo flavoglycosides and terpene lactone are the main active ingredients of ginkgo leaf extract: Ginkgo biloba increases cognitive performance and helps maintain mental well-being. [9]
- Spermidine is obtained from wheat germ. The biogenic polyamine plays a role in autophagy, promoting the brain cells’ self-cleaning process and supporting cognitive function. [10]
- Trans-resveratrol from Japanese knotweed is a potent antioxidant that helps protect brain cells from ageing caused by oxidative stress. [11]
- Astaxanthin is a particularly powerful antioxidant that can cross the blood-brain barrier. It is therefore said to have a protective effect on the brain. [12] Studies also suggest that it supports cognitive function in the elderly. [13]
B vitamins are known and proven as "food for the nervous system". They are involved in nerve function and regeneration, directly and indirectly contributing to reducing irritability and helping us remain mentally resilient.
The health claims for B vitamins have been scientifically examined and confirmed by the European Food Safety Authority. [2]
Mental performance
- Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)
contributes to normal mental performance and normal neurotransmitter synthesis and metabolism.
Energy metabolism
- Vitamin B3 (niacin)
- Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)
- Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
- Vitamin B12 (cobalamin)
contribute to normal energy metabolism
Nervous system and mental function
- Vitamin B3 (niacin)
- Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
- Vitamin B12 (cobalamin)
contribute to the normal nervous system function and to normal mental function.
Reduction of fatigue
- Vitamin B3 (niacin)
- Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)
- Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
- Vitamin B9 (folic acid)
- Vitamin B12 (cobalamin)
contribute to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness.
Blood circulation and oxygen supply
- Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
- Vitamin B12 (cobalamin)
contribute to normal formation of red blood cells.

The vitamins and minerals selected for BrainPower ProEliteX may support brain and cognitive functions both directly and indirectly. [2]
Vitamin C contributes, among other things, to:
- normal functioning of the nervous system,
- normal mental function,
- reduction of fatigue and tiredness,
- normal energy metabolism,
- protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Iron contributes, among other things, to:
- normal cognitive function,
- reduction of fatigue and tiredness,
- normal energy metabolism.
Zinc contributes, among other things, to:
- normal cognitive function,
- normal metabolic functions,
- protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Vitamin D, among other things
plays a role in cell division and may support the protection of nerve cells. It also influences the production of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, which are important for regulating mood, motivation and cognitive functions. [14]
