Thinking People's Nutrition

Mental Edge is an advanced nutritional formula to help you meet the demands of a challenging world.

Both on and off the job, Today's demanding world requires more mental energy than ever before. To compete succesfully, and just to get along, we need to be able to face long hours, track myriad details while seeing the big picture, come up with creative solutions for tough problems, and project a positive, can-do attitude, often under mounting pressure. Yet the stress of these demands, combined with poor dietary practices, can lead to the depletion of key nutrients in the mind and body and diminish the brains abilities.

Today, researchers have discovered which nutrients get depleted, and have also found efficient, safe and natural ways to replace them. The result is a new opportunity to regain our full mental capacity- and no one does it better than Source Naturals, in The Mental Edge^TM!
By replacing these critical nutrients, we may be able to:

Improve memory functions and clarity of thinking

The MENTAL EDGE^TM is a comprehensive formula, incorporating significant amounts of extensively researched nutrients and herbs which have been shown to facilitate optimal mental functioning.

NEUROTRANSMITTERS AND BRAIN NUTRITION

Acetylcholine is one of the main neurotransmitters (brain chemicals which carry messages between neurons). Neurotransmitters make learning, memory and intelligence possible.The three main nutrients which are necessary for adequate synthesis of acetylcholine are Choline (a B-vitmin), Phosphatidyl Choline ("PC", the concentrated, bioactive ingredient of (lecithin)), and DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol, the most biologically available of the acetylcholine precursors). Acetycholine plays a key role in maximizing mental ability as well as in preventing loss of memory in aging adults.

AMINO ACIDS

Amino acids are important protein constituents that serve as precursors for neurotransmitters and enzymes, and as membrane stabilizers.

L-Pyroglutamic Acid is a remarkable partner to acetylcholine, which may have benefits for memory function. It has also been associated with increased release of GABA, a key calming neurotransmitter made and used in the brain. L-Pyroglutamic Acid is a natural amino acid found in many foods, and it passes the "Brain-Blood Barrier" easily.
Glutamine is the precursor for GABA manufacture in the brain, and it helps prevent excess amounts of ammonia from damaging the brain.
Tyrosine is a precursor for Noradrenaline and Dopamine, two of the main neurotransmitters which elevate mood, promote alertness, and increase arousal and motivation.
L-Phenylalanine is a precursor for Tyrosine, and can also be converted to PEA-Phenlethylamine, a psycho-energizer naturally produced by the brain. Scientists believe that the PEA found in chocolate is what makes people like it so much.
Taurine is major stabilizing ingredient of brain cell membranes, keeping electrical currents from spreading out of control throughout the brain.

VITAMINS AND MINERALS

Fifteen supporting nutrients complement the Choline complex. For example, Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) is used to transform Choline and PC into Acetylcholine. Inositol and Phosphatidyl Choline are major constituents of brain cell membranes. Vitamin B12 is used to form RNA. Vitamins B3, B6 and C are used to change the amino acid precursors into neurotransmitters. The MENTAL EDGE contains Calcium and Magnesium, which calm the nerves, and Potassium, which aids in transmitting the brain's electrical impulses.

HERBS

A complex of six herbs, derived from traditional Chinese herbology, is included in our formula. Siberian GINseng is for mental and physical endurance. Schizandra Berries, Gotu Kola and Cayenne are for alertness. Ginger Root is for nourishing and strengthening the whole body. Turning to modern herbal research, we have provided Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract. Its Ginkgo flavone glycosides are antioxidants with a natural affinity for brain blood vessels, offering protection from harmful free radicals.

Try it, and you will agree that this formula is the most potent, thoughtful nutritional approach to improving your abilities, fulfilling your mind's potential, and achieving the competitive edge in life..... THE MENTAL EDGE .
