Benefits of Taking CogniBiotics

1. Improves Brain Health Through the Gut-Brain-Microbiome Axis

   Your gut feeling is an example of how your gut works with your brain. Recent research^[2] shows that gut health and the gut microbiome strongly influence brain health. Your gut bacteria can control your thoughts, emotions, and stress resilience. Also, many people with mental health and neurological disorders have dysbiosis and digestive issues. Often, an improvement in gut bacteria composition in these people improves their mood and brain function.^[3]

   CogniBiotics contain bacteria strains that are known as mood enhancers for their potential to improve cognitive function. In addition, the Chaihu-Shugan-San herb formula in CogniBiotics works by improving the dysbiosis^[4] and digestive issues. However, CogniBiotics is only meant for general brain health and not approved to treat any disease.

   • Boost BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor)
   • Boost low mood
   • Reduce stress
   • Produce mood-boosting vitamins (e.g. K and B-12)
   • Rejuvenate your brain and improve brain-gut connection
   • Generate serotonin and happiness chemicals
   • Enhance cognitive performance

2. Promotes a Balanced Stress Response and Stress Resilience

   Stress can cause poor sleep, abnormal appetite, reduced performance, and many other negative health effects. Adaptogens are herbs or substances that help support the nervous system to reduce the stress response, promote calmness, or improve your ability to deal with the stress. CogniBiotics contain several adaptogenic herbs such as Schisandra and Chinese licorice.

3. Promotes Healthy Acetylcholine Levels

   Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter for learning and memory. P. multiflorum, S. miltiorrhiza, and R. glutinosa in CogniBiotics are cholinergic herbs that increase acetylcholine levels.^[5]

4. Improves Neurotransmitter Balance

   In animal studies^[6] the probiotics L. plantarum, L. helveticus, L. fermentum, L. rhamnosus, and B. infantis promote the balance of serotonin, dopamine, and GABA in the brain. The good bacteria also help ensure^[7] that the used neurotransmitters are not converted into metabolites that may cause anxiety, brain fog, and neurologic disorders.

5. Improves Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor

   The good bacteria^[8] and herbs^[9] in CogniBiotics work together to stimulate the production of proteins that help the brain grow, reorganize, and adapt. These proteins include brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neural growth factor (NGF). Increasing these proteins help with learning, memory, and mood.

6. Protecting Neurons Against Oxidative Stress

   Oxidative stress comes from mental-emotional stress, toxic exposure, inflammation, poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle, and more. Nowadays, most people don’t consume enough antioxidants in their diets. When oxidative stress exceeds your body’s antioxidant capacity, it can damage cells. Oxidative stress can contribute to brain fog, fatigue, and neurologic disorders.

   Herbs in CogniBiotics contain antioxidants that can cross the blood-brain barrier and protect your brain from day-to-day oxidative stress.

7. Increases Blood Flow to the Brain

   Your brain needs oxygen and vital nutrients to work well, but it’s also the organ that’s hardest to deliver blood to. It’s located at the highest point in the body and has many tiny blood vessels. Stress, poor blood vessel health, oxidative stress, and low blood pressure can reduce blood flow to the brain. When the brain gets reduced blood flow, it doesn’t get healthy levels of oxygen and nutrients. The deprivation can cause fatigue, brain fog, poor cognitive function, and low mood.

   The Chaihu-Shugan-San herb formula normalizes brain blood flow^[10] in patients with low mood.

8. Producing Beneficial Postbiotics, Such as Butyrate

   Postbiotics are produced when your probiotic bacteria ferment the prebiotic fibers, such as the small fatty acids propionate and butyrate.

   Low mood, brain fog, and fatigue^[11] are caused by sluggish neurons that can’t produce enough energy (ATP). The small fatty acids^[12] can enter the brain, energize the sluggish neurons, and lower oxidative stress. Your neurons can also burn the fatty acids for energy. Butyrate also boosts BDNF levels.

   The small fatty acids also counteract chronic inflammation^[13] and strengthen the gut and blood-brain barriers.^[14] They also promote a healthy metabolism and blood sugar levels,^[15] which are important for brain health.
