What does the bundle contain ? 

  • 1 x plant based omega 3 DHA (30 pack)
  • 1 x Alpha GPC choline   (30 pack)

Choline and omega 3 DHA have a synergistic relationship that enhances cognitive development[1,2,3,4,5].

Omega 3 DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function in adults and children [6].Our double concentrated DHA supplement is derived from algae and provides 500mg DHA in a single vegan omega 3 capsule.  In healthy young adults whose diets were low in DHA, supplementation improved memory [7]. In 30-54 year olds, omega 3 improved executive function in participants with low DHA levels [8].

Alpha GPC  is a potent form of the nutrient choline because it can cross the blood-brain barrier. Alpha GPC benefits cognitive function as It is the immediate precursor to the brain's memory & learning chemical acetylcholine which is released when conducting cognitive tasks. brain feed's is the world’s 1st 500mg Alpha GPC capsule containing 99% Alpha GPC*. The purest form of Alpha GPC. UK manufactured.
 

FAQ's

1. How/when do I take them?

Take 1 omega 3 DHA capsule per day with water.

Take 1 Alpha GPC capsule per day with food. Ideally in the morning , at lunch or before starting work.

2. Could i be deficient in omega 3 or choline?

The UK & US have very low levels of DHA due to the western diet [9]. 68% of U.S. adults & 95% of children, do not consume enough Omega 3 in their diet to meet U.S. Dietary Guidelines [9]. Only 25% [10] of the UK population consume oily fish. The recommendation is 2 portions of fish per week [at least one should be oily]

In 2014 the US National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claimed that 90% of Americans are not getting enough choline in their diet. US Adequate Intake levels for men are 550mg/day and for women 425mg/day. In the EU it’s 480mg/day for pregnant women and 520mg/day for lactating women.

3.How long does it take to have an effect?

High-dose supplementation of DHA has been shown to begin increasing DHA levels after a month and maintain the levels throughout the supplementation period[11]

When orally ingested Alpha GPC it shows a relative spike in acetylcholine 1-3 hours post-ingestion. [12]

4. Are there any side effects?

There are no reported side effects for Algal Omega 3 containing 500mg DHA. Alpha GPC is safe when taken at the recommended dose. It is not recommended to exceed the stated dose. At higher than recommended doses a small number of people may experience side effects such as headaches or dizziness.

5. Is it safe to take Omega 3 DHA with Alpha GPC ?

You can use Omega 3 DHA and Alpha GPC together. They work on different chemical pathways and they do not contraindicate. There may be a synergistic benefit of taking them in combination however, the synergistic benefit at these specific mg dosages hasn't been studied in clinical trial.
