Where It Comes From
NeuroFactor®, also known as Coffee Fruit Extract, is a proprietary extract made from the entire fruit of the coffee plant (Coffea arabica). The coffee fruit, also known as the coffee cherry, that surrounds the coffee bean is the source of NeuroFactor®, unlike the roasted coffee beans used primarily for coffee production. Researchers have demonstrated that this extract, which contains polyphenols and other beneficial substances, promotes brain health by increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein essential for brain function, cognitive performance, and neuroprotection.
What It is Indicated For
People primarily use NeuroFactor® to improve cognitive function, memory, and overall brain health. It is especially popular among people who want to boost their mental clarity and attention while also protecting themselves from cognitive degeneration. The primary advantage of NeuroFactor® is its capacity to raise levels of BDNF, which is required for the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons in the brain.
Key Benefits:
- Cognitive Function and Memory Enhancement: NeuroFactor® has been proven to raise BDNF levels, which promote synaptic plasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize. The British Journal of Nutrition published a study that found supplementing with coffee fruit extract significantly increased BDNF levels in healthy individuals, suggesting its potential to enhance memory and cognitive performance.
- Neuroprotection: By increasing BDNF levels, NeuroFactor® protects the brain against age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative illnesses. Improved brain health and a lower risk of illnesses like Alzheimer’s disease are associated with higher BDNF levels. The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease published a study that links higher BDNF levels to improved cognitive function and a reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
- Mental Clarity and Focus: NeuroFactor® improves communication between neurons and promotes general brain function. This makes it useful for people who work on intellectually demanding roles or want to keep their cognitive abilities sharp as they get older.
Contraindications
Most people typically find NeuroFactor® safe, but those sensitive to caffeine or other coffee components should use it with caution. Although NeuroFactor® contains little caffeine, those who are particularly sensitive to stimulants may notice minor adverse effects such as jitteriness or elevated heart rate. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should see their doctor before using NeuroFactor®.
Warnings
Although most people tolerate NeuroFactor® well, it’s crucial to follow the recommended dosage to avoid any unwanted side effects. Before beginning NeuroFactor®, as with any supplement, contact a healthcare practitioner, particularly if you have any pre-existing health concerns or are using any other medications.
Dosages
The normal dose of NeuroFactor® in supplements ranges from 100 to 200 mg per day, depending on the product and individual requirements. Clinical studies have used doses in this range to induce cognitive effects, primarily by increasing BDNF levels and promoting brain health. For general cognitive support, a daily dose of 100 mg is usual.
