 Scientific Validation

It is now widely accepted, based on extensive clinical and experimental data, that learning and memory are closely associated with the functional status of the central cholinergic system. According to this model, MindCare (Mentat) was evaluated and the results, published in an Italian journal, Fitoterapia (Vol. LXVI, No. 3 pp. 216-222, 1995), indicate that MindCare (Mentat) actively promotes cholinergic system and mechanisms, which explains MindCare’s (Mentat) effectiveness in promoting mental alertness.

Key Ingredients

Bacopa (Bacopa monniera)
A classic brain and nervine tonic, Bacopa is included in the "Brahmi" category of ayurvedic herbs, which are those that benefit both the mind and spirit and improve the intellect and consciousness. Bacopa assists in heightening mental acuity and supports the physiological processes involved in relaxation.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Ashwagandha improves the body's ability to maintain physical effort and helps the body adapt to various types of stress. Perhaps the most famous ayurvedic rejuvenative botanical, Ashwagandha is used in many tonics and formulas.

Morning Glory (Evolvulus alsinoides)
Morning Glory has been traditionally used as a "Rasayana" or anti-aging rejuvenative tonic and to improve memory and intellect.

Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica)
Gotu Kola or Indian Pennywort. Gotu Kola is famous for supporting vein structure thereby improving memory and attention through support of the brain's micro-capillaries. French researchers found evidence that Gotu Kola significantly increases the production of collagen, the key to the synthesis of the connective tissues surrounding the veins and to its usefulness for wound healing.

Musk Root (Nardostachys jatamansi)
Musk Root is in the same botanical family as Valerian, a relaxing plant with established effectiveness in promoting mental health. It has been shown effective in helping maintain a restful sleep and in coping with many menopausal symptoms.

Indian Valerian (Valeriana jatamansi)
Indian Valerian has been traditionally used for its calming benefits. It is practically identical in its composition with the well-studied European variety. In both species, Valepotriates have been shown very useful for common behavioral concerns and as support of mental function.

Triphala
A cornerstone of Ayurvedic health, Triphala is a traditional combination of three myrobalan fruits: Amla, Haritaki and Vibhitaki. It rejuvenates the membrane lining of the digestive tract and contributes to effective cleansing of the colon, a key condition in Ayurveda to maintaining optimum health.

Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia)
Guduchi is an important part of the ayurvedic category of Rasayanas, or rejuvenative tonics. Human studies conducted on Guduchi's immune-boosting ability show it to be linked to enhancing the function of protective cells called macrophages.

Mucuna (Mucuna pruriens)
Mucuna or Cow-Itch Plant. Mucuna has been reported to be a very effective nervine tonic and aphrodisiac. Studies have demonstrated its usefulness in maintaining optimum performance of the nervous system.
