Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin and a brain essential nutrient involved in the healthy growth and function of neurons by supporting brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF) and other neurotrophic factors. Adequate vitamin D3 is needed for healthy dopamine signaling, neuroprotective functions, and neuroplasticity.*
Thiamine (as thiamine HCl): Thiamine (B1) is a member of the B-complex vitamin family and a brain essential nutrient. It supports healthy brain energy metabolism, neuron health, neurotransmission, and adrenal gland function. Thiamin helps synthesize several neurotransmitters involved in focus, memory, motivation, and mood, including acetylcholine, dopamine, and GABA.*
Riboflavin: Riboflavin (B2) is a member of the B-complex vitamin family and a brain essential nutrient. It supports optimal brain energy production, the production of glutathione (a cellular antioxidant), and healthy adrenal function. Riboflavin is needed for myelin and is used in the metabolism of fats, which is critical in the brain since it is mostly made of fats.*
Niacin (as Niacinamide): Niacinamide (B3) is a member of the B-complex vitamin family and a brain essential nutrient.
