Sharper Brain and Stronger Mind with NutraBod

VCO packed with powerful antioxidants in softgel capsule

The brain is like the boss of the body. It gives out the commands and the rest of the body follows. Thus, failing to give your brain the proper nutrients can lead to a malfunctioning body.  

Let’s take a look at NutraBod’s essential ingredients that will improve your brain health.

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)

VCO is widely marketed as a “superfood”. Coconut oil is high in certain saturated fats, which have different positive effects on the body. Fatty acids in coconut oil burns fat which provides quick energy to the body and brain.

Moreover, coconut oil contains some Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), which are shorter fatty acid chains. When you ingest MCT, they go straight to the liver. From there, the body converts the MCT into energy or Ketones. Ketones can have powerful effects on the brain and researchers are studying ketones as a treatment for epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and other conditions.

Resveratrol 

Resveratrol is an antioxidant with many medicinal benefits. You can find it in grapes, apples, raspberries, blueberries, plums, peanuts, and red wine. Studies show that drinking red wine, which is one source of resveratrol, can help slow down age-related cognitive problems.

It is the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of Resveratrol that may help slow down aging. It interferes with protein fragments called beta-amyloids. These fragments form plaques that are symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.

Additionally, Resveratrol also has properties that protect brain cells from damage. 

Curcumin

Meanwhile, Curcumin is the active ingredient in Turmeric. Turmeric is another supplement packed with different medicinal benefits. Like Resveratrol, Turmeric is also a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. 

These qualities allow it to block the forming of beta-amyloid plaques. In turn, it may help slow down the development of Alzheimer's disease, especially the chronic inflammation of the nerve cells.              

Ginseng

Last but not least is Ginseng, which is one of the most popular herbal medicines. Because of its several medicinal benefits, some consider it a “cure-all” supplement. Indeed, it is one of the superfoods worthy of the term because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. 

These all contribute to enhancing brain function.

In 2012, the Ethical Committee of the Faculty of Medicine at Khon Kaen University approved a study of 60 healthy middle-aged women in Thailand. The 2-month study was double-blind, placebo-controlled, and arranged with randomized trials. At the end of the study, daily doses of ginger extract were shown to improve reaction time and working memory of the participants.

Backed by science-based evidence, there’s no reason not to enjoy the benefits of these supplements. So what are you waiting for? #HaveANutraBod every day with Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) boosted with Antioxidants such as Astaxanthin, Curcumin, Ginseng, and Resveratrol for a healthier brain!
