Supporting Brain Health One Cup At A Time

Coffee, mushrooms, and collagen - could this combination be the triple threat that allows you to break through brain block, concentration struggles, and cognitive decline? 

As you age, your body goes through changes which can interfere with focus, make you less efficient, decrease memory, impede clarity, and more…leaving you feeling deficient in ways or areas where you once thrived. 

To make matters worse, these changes, combined with typical life stresses, can negatively affect your sleep, gut, and again, your brain. 

So then, back to that triple threat…

• What if you didn’t feel easily distracted? 
• What if you could keep brain fog at bay?
• What if you could keep your memory sharp, or improve your memory for the long haul? 
• How would your work (or school) performance improve if you could process information quickly and boost productivity?
• What would your life look like if you could support your nervous system in such a way that the stresses of life didn’t take such a noticeable (cognitive) toll? 
• Or, what would your future look like if you could support the health of your brain, staving off cognitive decline? 

Now for one more “what if” - what if I told you that Mindflow, our new, revolutionary instant coffee blend, was formulated with each of these cognitive conundrums in mind? 

While there’s no such thing as a single magic pill to instantly perfect brain health entirely, there are ways you can support your brain’s natural design, thereby optimizing cognitive function, repair, growth, and more! 

This is why we’ve carefully chosen Mindflow’s ingredients with the brain’s architecture and attributes in mind, and today we’d like to detail what this powerhouse combo of cognitive aids can do for you…

Mindflow - Functional Coffee For Cognitive Enhancement

Mindflow combines the brain-boosting powers of organic coffee enhanced with Alpha-GPC, coffee fruit extract, lion’s mane and chaga mushrooms, as well as grass-fed collagen, and electrolytes. 

Each of these, alone, boast incredible rewards for your brain, but when combined…well, we’re taking cognitive enhancement to the next level! 

Take a look at how the following Mindflow ingredients can provide game-changing advantages for the health and functionality of your brain!

Coffee (including Alpha-GPC and coffee fruit extract)

It’s no surprise that coffee is one of the primary ingredients in Mindflow - I mean, we are a coffee company, and this is instant coffee afterall. 

However, as you’ve likely already suspected, this is no ordinary instant coffee. 

For the coffee component of Mindflow, we’ve chosen organic coffee enhanced with a proprietary complex which includes Alpha-GPC (more on this in a moment).

But, we’ve also included whole coffee fruit extract to amplify the amazing benefits of the world’s most loved bean. 

And here, we’d like to show you what this powerful combination can do for your brain!

In and of itself, organic coffee is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols which serve your body (and your brain) by reducing inflammation and protecting against oxidative stress. 

Regarding your brain specifically, the antioxidant content of organic coffee protects against damage caused by free radicals while also effectively reducing inflammation. 

Oxidative stress and inflammation essentially harm your brain on a loop, where the unstable molecules which cause oxidative stress trigger inflammation which in turn produces more reactive oxygen species leading to more inflammation and more oxidative stress, and on and on. 

Unfortunately, the result of this loop is damaged brain cells, disrupted or impaired brain function, neurodegeneration, and more - making the antioxidant content of coffee not only a proven winner in the fight against cognitive decline but a need for neuroprotection.

Even better, coffee’s no one-trick pony!

The antioxidant powers of coffee not only serve to protect your brain, but studies have also proven each of the following brain benefits: 

• Studies have shown the caffeine component of coffee may enhance long-term memory. 
• The stimulating effects of caffeine have been shown to improve concentration and short-term memory, increase the speed in which you can process information, and improve both alertness and mental clarity. 
• Physicians and researchers have noted improvements in work performance and productivity due to coffee’s positive effects on the brain. 
• Coffee’s ability to stimulate the nervous system has been linked to improvements in mood as well as reduced symptoms of depression. 
• Long term, regular coffee consumption is linked to a reduced risk of both Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. 

But, as we noted above, we’ve amplified the brain benefits of coffee, enhancing these boosts with Alpha-GPC. 

Alpha-GPC is a natural choline compound found in your brain, a precursor to acetylcholine. 

Why does this matter?

Because acetylcholine is absolutely critical for memory, focus, and learning.

Without acetylcholine: 

• short- and long-term memory suffers
  
• it becomes increasingly difficult to concentrate
  
• you experience a greater amount of confusion
  
• your responses slow
  
• you eventually have difficulty recalling information
  
• recognizing images (including faces) becomes difficult
  
• you may even struggle with normal movements

Alpha-GPC increases acetylcholine which serves your brain by potentially improving memory, concentration, and clarity. 

Researchers have even seen promising results in treating cognitive decline with alpha-GPC, specifically decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

This is likely due to its neuroprotective properties, as alpha-GPC aids in the protection of brain cells while also promoting their repair if damaged.

It’s easy to see why nootropics are taking the world by storm, as these cognitive-enhancing wonders (like alpha-GPC) truly provide powerful brain-boosting benefits! 

But, since we wanted to bring you even greater mental enhancement, we also included coffee fruit extract.

This extract essentially takes the benefit of coffee to the next level. 

As you likely know, extracts are concentrated, and this process separates active compounds, isolating them to often bring a more potent dose of the benefits sought from a product, here coffee fruit. 

Coffee fruit extract aids the brain by boosting BDNF, or brain derived neurotrophic factor. 

By increasing BDNF levels, coffee fruit extract helps to improve memory and learning. 

As in regular (organic) coffee, the antioxidant content of coffee fruit extract also serves to protect the cells in your brain from damage or injury. 

Studies have also shown that boosting BDNF can reduce fatigue while performing cognitive tasks. 

Increasing these levels also resulted in: 

• improved alertness
  
• better working memory
  
• the ability to control impulses and ignore distractions while working 
  
• reduced mental fatigue
  
• an overall enhancement in cognitive function
  

Lion’s Mane & Chaga Mushrooms

Lion’s mane and chaga mushrooms each bring their own set of cognitive-enhancing qualities to the table. 

Lion’s mane primarily supports the health of your brain by promoting both the growth and repair of nerve cells. 

This functional mushroom contains compounds which stimulate the production of NGF, nerve growth factor. 

And, as this facilitates healthy brain cell growth, it can enhance memory and focus. 

In studies concerning traumatic brain injuries (such as what is suffered in a stroke), lion’s mane was found to aid in the growth and repair of nerve cells after this type of damage. 

Lion’s mane also naturally contains probiotics which can improve the health of your gut, strengthening the gut-brain axis which can affect attention and memory (specifically). 

This mushroom is also rich in antioxidant properties known for decreasing inflammation, thereby protecting brain cells and reducing the risk of cognitive decline. 

One study found those supplementing with lion’s mane showed "significant improvements in cognitive function compared to those who didn’t” (over the course of several weeks). 

And, by encouraging healthy growth of new neurons in the hippocampus, lion’s mane may reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, this aid in emotional health also benefiting memory and focus while enhancing learning and cognitive flexibility.

Then, the addition of chaga to the Mindflow lineup amplifies lion’s mane by bringing similar benefits, though this star shines brightest for brain protection. 

Chaga contains polyphenols, melanin, and betulinic acid, a combination with potent antioxidant benefits which serve your brain best by fighting inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which are driving factors in cognitive decline. 

In light of these properties, chaga is being studied for its potential benefits surrounding Alzheimer’s disease, as preliminary findings suggest this mushroom may reduce amyloid protein buildup (a hallmark of the disease). 

By reducing oxidative stress, studies have shown chaga to improve learning, and its ability to protect brain cells is thought to be beneficial in slowing down aging as it pertains to brain health. 

Also attributed to its antioxidant properties, chaga is your go-to fungi for long-term cognitive health.

Together, (and most notably) chaga provides rich protection for the cells in your brain, and lion’s mane supports nerve growth in this protected environment.

And, with optimal cellular health and neuroprotection, you’re sharp, focused, and your memory is on point!

Pure Grass-Fed Collagen & Electrolytes 

Yes, collagen and electrolytes are technically two different Mindflow ingredients, but once you take a look at how these brain boosters work together, you’ll fully understand why they deserve to be examined together. 

First, let’s take a look at collagen. 

Grass-fed collagen is considered to be one of the cleanest and purest forms of collagen available. 

And, when you start clean, you reap all the available benefits and advantages to be gained from such a source. 

When it comes to collagen, this translates to abundant brain boosts! 

But, before we dive into those benefits, we need to get a better understanding of how collagen works…especially as it pertains to the health of your brain. 

Collagen is actually a major part of what makes up the membrane which protects your brain and spinal cord, but it also forms the extracellular matrix of your central nervous system. 

In other words, collagen plays a primary role in providing structure for both your brain and the very cells that make up your nervous system. 

Then, your brain is also connected to your gut, and collagen supports the gut-brain axis by strengthening the gut lining, which in turn supports proper nutrient absorption and reduces cognitive-impairing inflammation.

Collagen even brings benefits to your brain by supporting healthy sleep.

Your brain desperately needs quality sleep as it repairs itself while you slumber. During sleep, your brain also consolidates memories and removes waste byproducts which can otherwise accumulate and impair cognitive function. 

And, collagen aids your brain here by calming your nervous system and supporting proper body temperature regulation and healthy production of sleep hormones like melatonin and serotonin.

Now, let’s take a look at electrolytes. 

Your brain needs electrolytes - such as magnesium, sodium, potassium, and calcium - as these minerals:

• regulate the balance of fluid in your brain
  
• allow your nerves to transmit signals (which serve as the communication source between your brain and body)
  
• aid in your ability to focus and store memories

To look at this from a negative standpoint, electrolyte imbalances can lead to a decreased attention span, confusion, poor memory, brain fog, fatigue, and overall poor mental performance.

In other words, electrolytes aren’t simply needed for athletic performance, nor are they solely something to incorporate when you’re ill or dehydrated. 

Likewise, as we detailed above, collagen isn’t merely for skin, hair, and joint health. 

Both of these are crucial for cognitive support, and when you combine collagen and electrolytes, the potential brain boosts are powerful as they work together to provide clarity of mind and brain benefits that last!

Where collagen serves as a framework for your brain’s connective tissues, supporting overall cognitive health, electrolytes maintain the environment needed for collagen’s work to thrive. 

If collagen is the workhorse of your brain, electrolytes maintain a healthy stable for this ‘horse.’

So, to wrap up this combo, let’s take a look at their collective brain benefits:

• A 2020 study found collagen supplementation to significantly improve cognitive function. 
• A 2023 research analysis in the UK found those individuals supplementing with magnesium (a crucial electrolyte) not only had higher brain volumes, but they also had an associated lower risk of late life dementia. 
• The very structure of collagen has been proven to aid in the survival and growth of neurons. 
• Collagen intake has been shown to improve language abilities while also having an overall positive effect on the very structure of the brain. 
• Glycine, an amino acid found in collagen, works with electrolytes specifically to provide support for optimal nervous system function (allowing your brain to effectively communicate with your body). 
• Collagen has also been shown to slow cognitive decline related to age, as it aids in preserving the structure of brain tissues. 
• Electrolytes, in supporting proper hydration, reduce confusion while improving concentration. In other words, this combined with collagen serves to bust through brain fog! 

As you can see, the combined benefits of collagen and electrolytes serve as a powerful brain boost. 

And, by supporting the structure and functionality of your brain and nervous system, you’re receiving the following aids:

• Brain repair
  
• Improved neural connections (brain growth) 
  
• Brain protection
  
• Improved memory
  
• Better focus
  
• Clear thinking
  
• Less brain fog
