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

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.

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.

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.

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]
