Caffeine is Good for your Brain

Caffeine is one of the most widely used substances in the world that is also a legal, psychoactive drug. Caffeine is classified as a stimulant because it increases activity in the central nervous system.

Many recent studies indicate that moderate consumption of coffee may actually lower the risk for common neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. For example, one study showed that coffee consumption slowed the progression of dementia in men over a ten year period. Caffeine has also been shown to improve performance on a range of different tasks, including vigilance, response times, information processing (https://psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/a0025851; https://content.iospress.com/download/journal-of-alzheimers-disease/jad01417?id=journal-of-alzheimers-disease%2Fjad01417).

Coffee is an incredibly healthy beverage packed with hundreds of biologically active compounds, including, polyphenols, antioxidants, trigonelline, niacin, potassium, diterpenes, chlorogenic acid, cafestol, kahweol, and acrylamide. Most of these substances have proven helpful to brain health and may work to decrease one’s risk of neurodegenerative diseases. It is believed to work by blocking the neurotransmitter adenosine’s receptors, increasing excitability in the brain.

EHT® supplement includes a naturally occurring, proprietary extract found in coffee which:

• Helps protect neuronal structural integrity to allow robust protein signaling.
• Optimizes the function of PP2A activity (the major tau dephosphorylation enzyme in the brain) which in turn increases cognitive and metabolic function.
• Assist in promoting viability of brain circuits involved in memory in good condition.
