Understanding the Brain

The human brain, the pinnacle triumph of biological evolution, serves as the nervous system’s control center and supports ideas, memory, movement, and emotions through a complex function. The most important objective in pursuing health and longevity is maintaining a healthy brain throughout one’s life. The burden of neurological illnesses and the difficulties in maintaining brain health is on the rise as the population ages. [R] 

Therefore, it is crucial to take care of and maintain brain health. 

Major Ingredients of IQ Plus Capsules

Some compounds have been shown to support cognitive function and brain health, which may help people perform better when thinking, learning, and remembering things.

Here are some examples of IQ Plus Capsule that may support brain health:

1. DHA
2. B Vitamins: Vitamins B6, B9 (folate), and B12 
3. Vitamin D
4. Green Tea
5. GABA

What is DHA?

DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, is an omega-3 fatty acid. It is a crucial component of the cell membranes in the brain, eyes, and retina, where it is particularly plentiful. [R]

DHA can be discovered frequently in fatty fish like salmon, tuna, and mackerel as well as in some kinds of algae. Additionally, it can be acquired through some brain-boosting supplements, such as fish oil capsules, or vegetarian sources like supplements made of algae. [R]

How DHA Works on Brain Health?

DHA is an essential vitamin for brain growth, particularly in infancy. DHA is given to the fetus by the mother during pregnancy, and infants get it from breast milk or infant formula after birth. [R]

Although the precise mechanism by which DHA influences brain development is not fully understood, a number of theories have been put forth in light of research studies. 

One of the hypothesized mechanisms has to do with DHA’s function in the development and maintenance of brain cell membranes. The structural integrity and fluidity of cell membranes, which are crucial for appropriate cell signaling and communication, are believed to be enhanced by DHA. [R]

Another hypothesis relates to DHA’s role in the development of synapses, which are the connections between neurons. DHA has been shown to promote synaptic plasticity—the ability of synapses to adapt and alter in response to experience—and to facilitate the formation of synapses, a critical step in the development of the brain. [R]

Last, but not least, DHA has been proven to have potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which may assist in protecting the brain from harm and support brain function. DHA may also impact gene expression and signaling pathways that are crucial for brain development. DHA may aid in reducing these processes and lowering the likelihood of developing these problems. Inflammation and oxidative stress have been linked to a variety of neurological disorders. [R]

Studies on DHA

There have been many studies on the effects of DHA on brain development, cognitive function, and neurological health. Some fed formulas with added DHA had higher cognitive scores at 18 months of age than infants fed formula without added DHA. [R] It was found that DHA supplementation improved cognitive function in healthy older adults, as well as in those with mild cognitive impairment. [R]

In addition, it may lessen the risk of developing a variety of diseases like heart disease, inflammation, and several types of cancer. [R]

Side effects

Typically, minor gastrointestinal complaints (such as belching, indigestion, and diarrhea) are the most frequent adverse reactions. Itching, hives, or breathing difficulties are possible allergic response symptoms, along with a risk of bleeding and bruises, a fishy aftertaste, or burps. [R]

What are B vitamins?

The eight (8) B vitamins are B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate [folic acid]) and B12 (cobalamin). These are all present in the capsule except B12.

These vitamins help various enzymes, including those that release energy from fat and carbs, break down amino acids, and transport oxygen and nutrients containing energy throughout the body. [R]

Fish, poultry, meat, eggs, dairy products, green leafy vegetables, beans, peas, and grains are some of the best sources of B vitamins. [R]

How Do B-vitamins Work on Brain Health?

Folate, vitamin B9, and vitamin B12 are crucial for improving cognitive function. The following are some ways that certain brain vitamins may affect mental health:

Neurotransmitters, which are molecules that transfer impulses between brain neurons, are produced in part by vitamin B6. Additionally, it contributes to the production of myelin, a fatty substance that protects nerve fibers and facilitates faster neural transmission. Vitamin B6 deficiency has been linked to cognitive decline and mood disorders. According to certain research, vitamin B6 may help the aged cognitive performance. [R]

Folate, a vitamin B9, is essential for the production and repair of DNA as well as brain cell growth, particularly those in the brain. Folate deficiency has been linked to cognitive decline and a higher risk of dementia. It has been demonstrated that folate supplementation enhances cognitive performance in the aged and may lower the risk of cognitive decline associated with aging. This is essential for the production and repair of DNA as well as the growth and development of cells, particularly those in the brain. Folate deficiency has been linked to cognitive decline and a higher risk of dementia. It has been demonstrated that folate supplementation enhances cognitive performance in the aged and may lower the risk of cognitive decline associated with aging. [R]

Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 contributes to the formation of neurotransmitters and myelin. A lack of vitamin B12 has been linked to neurological damage, emotional disorders, and cognitive decline. It has been demonstrated that vitamin B12s aid the aged cognitive performance and may also help to stop or reduce the deterioration of their cognitive abilities. [R]

Studies on B-Vitamins

There have been many studies on the effects of B vitamins on health. 

Several studies have suggested that B vitamins, particularly vitamin B6, vitamin B9 (folate), and vitamin B12, may help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that has been linked to cardiovascular disease. [R]

In cognitive function, some studies suggest that it may help to reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. [R]

There is some evidence to suggest that B vitamins, particularly vitamin B6 and vitamin B9 (folate), may be beneficial for mood disorders such as stress and anxiety. [R]

Some studies have suggested that B vitamins, particularly vitamin B9 (folate), may help to reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, such as colorectal cancer. However, other studies have found conflicting results, and more research is needed to determine the role of B vitamins in cancer prevention. [R]

Side effects

B vitamins have no known adverse effects. [R]

What is Vitamin D?

A fat-soluble vitamin known as vitamin D is crucial for keeping healthy bones, controlling the body’s levels of calcium and phosphorus, and boosting the immune system. [R]

When skin is exposed to sunlight, the body can produce vitamin D. However, many people may need to add vitamin D-rich foods or other brain health supplements to their diets because they do not get enough vitamin D from sunlight alone. Fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified foods like milk and morning cereals are excellent sources of vitamin D. [R]

Natural food sources of vitamin D are limited and include fatty fish, fish liver oils, beef liver, egg yolks, cheese, and mushrooms. Furthermore, sun exposure is an important source of vitamin D for many people. UVB radiation from sunlight converts cutaneous 7-dehydrocholesterol to pre-vitamin D3, which then becomes vitamin D3. [R]

How does Vitamin D work on Brain Health?

The health and function of the brain are greatly influenced by vitamin D. The hippocampus, which is essential in memory and learning, is one of the brain areas where vitamin D receptors can be identified. Additionally, vitamin D aids in the synthesis of neurotransmitters necessary for controlling mood, like dopamine and serotonin. [R]

Vitamin D’s impact on inflammation may have an additional effect on the brain. Chronic inflammation has been connected to a number of neurological illnesses, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis. Vitamin D has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin D may assist in safeguarding the brain from these and other disorders by lowering inflammation. [R]

Studies on Vitamin D

According to some studies, vitamin D insufficiency is perhaps linked to cognitive decline, an elevated risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and other types of dementia. One study published in the journal Neurology in 2014 found that the aged who were severely vitamin D deficient were twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia compared to those with normal vitamin D levels. [R]

It is well-recognized that vitamin D is crucial for keeping strong bones and enhancing the body’s ability to absorb calcium. [R]

Low vitamin D levels may be linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, according to some research. Blood pressure and cholesterol levels may be improved as well as cardiovascular system inflammation that is reduced with vitamin D supplementation. [R]

Cancer prevention: Some evidence points to vitamin D’s potential role in the prevention of cancer. According to studies, vitamin D may help lower the chance of developing some cancers, such as breast, colon, and prostate cancer. [R]

What is Green Tea?

Tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant are used to make green tea. Given that the leaves are only picked and briefly heated to prevent oxidation, it is one of the least processed varieties of tea. The natural green hue of the tea leaves is preserved during this process, and the flavor is light and fresh. [R]

Minerals, polyphenols, caffeine, and trace amounts of vitamins, amino acids, and carbs make up the majority of what makes tea. It is also well known for having high antioxidant levels, especially catechins, which are thought to provide a number of health advantages. [R]

How does Green Tea work on Brain Health?

Caffeine and the amino acid L-theanine, are two bioactive substances found in green tea that can influence brain activity in various ways.

In the brain, caffeine can block adenosine receptors and pass the blood-brain barrier, causing an increase in neuronal activity and the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. Improvements in mood, alertness, reaction time, and memory may follow from this. [R]

On the other hand, L-theanine can boost alpha brain wave activity, which is connected to a feeling of peace and relaxation. This may have a direct impact on cognitive function and can offset some of the side effects of caffeine, such as jitteriness and anxiety. The neurotransmitter GABA has soothing effects on the brain and may lessen anxiety and stress levels. L-theanine can also boost the production of this chemical. [R]

The synergistic effects of caffeine and L-theanine in green tea are hypothesized to promote healthy brain function and enhance cognitive performance, relaxation, and stress reduction while also enhancing attention, focus, and performance. [R]

To completely comprehend how green tea impacts the brain, more research is required to determine the particular mechanisms of action.

Studies on Green Tea

There are a number of possible advantages of green tea for brain health. Its high concentration of polyphenols, particularly catechins, which have been demonstrated to have neuroprotective properties, may be one mechanism at play. These polyphenols may be able to lessen inflammation in the brain and safeguard brain cells from harm, both of which can lead to a number of neurological diseases. [R]

Additionally, caffeine, a natural stimulant that can enhance alertness, attention, and cognitive function, is a component of green tea. The caffeine and other ingredients in green tea act as stimulants that supports brain function by improving memory and learning. [R]

Numerous studies have suggested that regular green tea consumption may be linked to a lower risk of cognitive deterioration and Alzheimer’s disease. [R]

Another study found that green tea catechins, more specifically, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, or EGCG—improved spatial learning and memory in rats by increasing the expression of genes related to neural plasticity, or the brain’s capacity for adapting and creating new connections. [R]

Green tea has been associated with several potential benefits other than its effect on brain health. Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, lower risk of cancer, increased fat burning, lower risk of type 2 diabetes, improved dental health due to antibacterial properties that may help reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease and it has been seen to reduce inflammation, potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. [R]

It’s important to note that while many of these potential health benefits are supported by scientific research, more studies are needed to confirm these effects and determine optimal doses for specific populations.

Side Effects of Green Tea [R1; R2] 

Caffeine-related side effects wherein excessive consumption can lead to symptoms such as insomnia, restlessness, anxiety, palpitations, and increased heart rate. Green tea can cause stomach irritation, nausea, and diarrhea in some people. Iron deficiency anemia wherein the polyphenols in green tea can bind with iron and reduce its absorption, leading to iron deficiency anemia over time. Some may experience headaches after consuming green tea due to the caffeine content.

Also, although rare, excessive consumption of green tea extracts has been linked to liver damage in some cases. It has also a possibility of interference with certain medications such as blood thinners, beta-blockers, and some chemotherapy drugs, leading to adverse effects.

What is GABA?

The neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) serves as an inhibitory agent in the central nervous system. It is essential for lowering neuronal excitability and for regulating brain activity. The brain naturally contains GABA, and it is also a nutritional supplement. [R]

According to some sources, the following foods either contain GABA or help the body produce more of it:

1. Foods that have been fermented: Probiotic-rich fermented foods including kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, and yogurt are thought to encourage the production of GABA in the stomach. [R]
2. Whole grains: Complex carbohydrates included in brown rice, oats, and barley have been reported to raise GABA levels in the brain. [R]
3. Vegetables: Leafy greens like spinach, broccoli, and others are high in glutamic acid, a substance needed to make GABA. [R]
4. Nuts and seeds: Flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, and walnuts are all high in glutamic acid and may aid in the promotion of GABA synthesis. [R]

How does GABA work on Brain Health?

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter that has a soothing and inhibitory impact on the brain and is an essential component of the central nervous system. [R]

When brain neurons release GABA, it binds to particular receptors on other neurons, decreasing their activity and reducing the rate of electrical activity in the brain as a whole. As a result, there is a decrease in tension, worry, and frightening feelings. GABA functions as a natural tranquilizer in this way and aids in controlling the release of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. [R]

Studies on GABA

The effects of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) on the brain and body have been the subject of several investigations. Here are a few illustrations:

Low GABA levels in the brain have been linked to anxiety disorders, according to a number of studies. In contrast to healthy controls, one study indicated that test subjects with social anxiety disorder had decreased levels of GABA in the prefrontal cortex. [R]

GABA is known to have a sedative effect and to play a role in controlling sleep. According to studies, using GABA supplements can enhance the quality of sleep and lengthen the time spent in deep sleep. [R]

Additionally, GABA has been researched for its potential therapeutic benefits in neurological conditions like epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease. Increasing GABA activity in the brain may assist in lessening seizure activity and improve motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease, though the evidence for this is still sparse. [R]

Other health benefits may suggest that GABA is not just for brain function. According to some research, GABA may aid in lowering blood pressure. Taking a GABA supplement for 12 weeks resulted in significant drops in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, according to a study of test subjects with mild hypertension. [R]

Side Effects of GABA

Drowsiness, vertigo, and nausea are a few of the milder adverse effects of GABA supplements. Especially if they are taking other medications or already have health concerns, some people may develop allergic reactions or other negative consequences. Before taking GABA, as with any dietary supplement, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional to be sure it’s safe and suitable for you. [R]
