It is for those who want to take care of their brain health and contains a blend of 27 ingredients of natural origin that will help support cognitive function.
It contains inulin, as well as vitamins, herbs and minerals, green tea, ginseng, as well as the hormone-regulating amino acid t-tyrosine and much more good stuff.
It’s also designed to provide sustained energy and clarity – unlike some energy drinks or coffee.
I mixed it into a smoothie and it was tasteless. It gave me energy without making me feel connected.
