Brain Rescue is the first PC-DHA building block formula in the world. GPC and DHA, the nutrients of Brain Rescue work together in the brain and other organs. Our cells combine them together into PC-DHA, a major support molecule for life. The two-time Nobel prizewinning biochemist Linus Pauling coined the term ortho molecules for such nutrients because they are orthodox, or right, for the body. Clinical studies have validated these Brain Rescue ortho molecules for memory, learning, attention, mood, and other high-level mental functions (cognition). The Brain Rescue formula is safe and very well tolerated, and offers marked benefit for older individuals with memory decline.  (Research studies located at Clinical Guides section of website.)

What Does Brain Rescue Contain?

Brain Rescue is a dietary supplement formulated from the purest and most potent form of GPC (GlyceroPhosphoCholine), along with a form of the omega-3 DHA (DocosaHexaenoic Acid) that comes not from fish but from algae (lifesDHA). This combination makes for a highly bioactive supplement that is free of the unpleasant aftereffects of fish oil.

Brain Rescue is a supplement that combines the proven brain nutrient GPC (GlyceroPhosphoCholine) with the number-one vitamin-like omega-3 nutrient DHA (lifesDHA)

What is GPC?

GlyceroPhosphoCholine, or GPC (also called alpha-GPC and choline alfoscerate) is a nutrient that has numerous roles in human health. GPC in human breast milk is a rich source of the essential choline, vital to the baby's early development and for health throughout life. GPC supplies essential structural and functional support for the brain and for the body as a whole. 

GPC is a unique protective substance for cells, being an osmotic regulator and a buffer against buildup of metabolic waste such as urea. Taken orally, GPC rapidly elevates choline in the brain, thereby facilitating the formation of acetylcholine, a universal chemical messenger throughout the body. Clinical studies have found that GPC can significantly benefit normal cognitive processes AND support the brain’s recovery following injury.

GPC supports numerous aspects of the brain’s normal physiology. This includes the pituitary, a master gland located partly in the brain and partly outside. Nerve cells in the pituitary need choline to make acetylcholine, in order to stimulate the normal release of growth hormone-and other hormones in appropriate day-to-day patterns. GPC supports this function, as proven by clinical studies.  (Research studies located at Clinical Guides section of website.)

The choline provided to our cells by GPC also is essential for regulating cell's normal gene activity. During healthy cell function, some genes are turned on while others are turned off. This is the basis of epigenetics, the higher-level control of genes which ensures they best serve ongoing, changing life circumstances. Choline supplies methyl groups, which are used by specialized enzymes to fine-tune gene activity and ensure that appropriate epigenetic patterns are maintained. Otherwise cell growth can become abnormal or otherwise inappropriate.

In studies on people as old as 80, GPC improved important mental processing measures. In clinical head to head comparisons, GPC outperformed the nutrients acetylcarnitine and citicoline and the so-called “smart drugs” drugs aniracetam andoxiracetam. A meta-analysis of 5 clinical trials found that GPC could have superior benefits over certain other pharmaceuticals.  (Research studies located at Clinical Guides section of website.)

What is DHA?

DocosaHexaenoic Acid, or DHA, is the largest polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid present in the body. DHA is found in all human cells, and its presence is crucial for efficient generation and utilization of life energy. The typical diet of Western, industrialized societies is deficient in DHA, which biochemically is similar to a vitamin.

DHA is a major building block for all human cells, making the membranes that manage cell activity. DHA is particularly abundant in the nerve cells of the brain and in the eye’s retina. DHA is indispensable for brain cells to generate, transmit, and respond to electrical and chemical messages, and for the retinal cells to respond to light.

DHA also is highly protective of all human tissues, serving as the start molecule for enzymes that make smaller molecules which protect against chemical or other forms of damage. Numerous studies confirm that everyone, from infants to adults, benefits from an adequate supply of DHA.

Clinical trials have linked DHA to the healthy management of mood and behavior. Population studies (epidemiology) have correlated higher levels of DHA intake with lowered risk for bad mood and for accelerated mental decline.  (Research studies located at Clinical Guides section of website.) DHA is an ortho molecular nutrient that makes possible high efficiency at the level of the individual cell.

It is difficult to absorb sufficient DHA from the typical diet. Some "experts" suggest taking flax oil, but the conversion ratio from the alpha-linolenic acid of flax into DHA is very poor. The lifesDHA brand of DHA from cultured algae is free of the contaminants that can plague other DHA sources. The algae are cultured under carefully controlled conditions to ensure that lifesDHA is the highest quality DHA available.

Why Take Brain Rescue?

As ortho molecules, both GPC and DHA are nutrients that occur naturally in all human cells. Their benefits for the brain and the body as a whole are documented through clinical trials.  (Research studies located at Clinical Guides section of website.) Their action mechanisms overlap, so that each should work better when the other is present. For those individuals who experience “brain fog” or find they are having problems learning and/or problem solving, the Brain Rescue formula is well worth a try.

Top Ten reasons to take Brain Rescue:

1. You feel your brain is not functioning optimally.
2. You have problems maintaining focus at work or in school.
3. Your friends or relatives notice that you are missing things.
4. You are under severe stress, whether from having one big life problem or just the daily grind of earning a living in these economically challenging times.
5. In double-blind clinical trials, which are the “gold standard” for judging health benefits, GPC and DHA improve mental performance.  (Research studies located at Clinical Guides section of website.)
6. Brain Rescue is an excellent source of choline.** The GPC in Brain Rescue supplies this vitamin-like nutrient, which rapidly enters the brain to help make acetylcholine. This “universal messenger” supports memory, mood, and other higher-level brain functions, as well as the body’s most basic survival functions.
7. The DHA in Brain Rescue is a clean form organically produced in cultured algae, free of mercury, dioxins or other pollutants.
8. DHA is a key nutrient building block for nerve cells to make their complex connections (synapses).
9. DHA works in synergy with GPC to support the brain’s higher-level functions, and to protect mind and body against premature decline.
10. Both DHA and GPC help protect the brain and other organs against damage from injury or toxic exposure.

Can Anyone Take Brain Rescue? Even Students?

Young, healthy students can benefit from taking GPC. Both the ortho molecular nutrients in this formula have been extensively studied on people at all stages of life. Clinical studies on people aged 19 to 80 years have shown that GPC can improve a number of important measures of mental performance.  (Research studies located at Clinical Guides section of website.) For those older than 60 years, several clinically important cognitive measures can be improved by taking GPC.

GPC is a versatile and powerful, vital lipid brain nutrient. All cells have membranes that do most of the work of the cell. The lipid PC (PhosphatidylCholine) is the major building block for making the new membranes that nerve cells always need. While performing other key functions in the water phase of our cells, GPC can readily be converted to membrane PC. It becomes more difficult to maintain our membranes as we age. However, a meta-analysis ("super-analysis") combined the relevant data from several clinical trials and concluded that for older people, the benefits of taking GPC may equal or surpass other options.  (Research studies located at Clinical Guides section of website.)

DHA is another vital lipid, and a key membrane building block. Being an ortho molecular omega-3 essential fatty acid, DHA facilitates metabolic efficiency throughout the body and is essential for mental performance. DHA is vital for overall membrane efficiency, and helping to build the tiny connections ("synapses") that keep nerve cells in communication with each other. DHA can be combined with GPC to make the ortho molecule PC-DHA that is found in the body's most dynamic tissues (brain and eyes, for example).

We do not recommend Brain Rescue for children, or for women who are pregnant. However, both GPC and DHA are prominent ingredients of human milk. Brain Rescue is an effective supplement for adults of all ages who want to improve cognitive performance. It is also a healthy and non-habit forming option for college students who are studying intensely. Brain Rescue is best taken early in the day.

Why is Brain Rescue Better?

Brain Rescue is the first and still the only product of its kind on the market. It is the only product to combine the two ortho molecular brain nutrients – GPC and DHA – in a natural format and in vegetarian capsules. In order that you may verify this information, we have made available an extensive and representative list of the clinical scientific studies on both of these nutrients.

What Will I Notice After Taking Brain Rescue Regularly?

Taking Brain Rescue every day,  you should notice that you feel more "there," mentally, more sharp and crisp. Learning and retaining information will seem easier. You may find that you experience less mental fatigue at the end of a busy day. If you exercise, do not eat an excessive amount of junk food and generaly take care of yourself, you have a chance to make a mental breakthrough with Brain Rescue.
