Mucuna Pruriens is a direct precursor of dopamine.

It's an antidepressant, reduces stress, decreases the risk of headaches and visual impairment, increases motivation, improves mental alertness, improves sleep, reduces pain, and improves depression and anxiety.

Natural source of L-dopa. Mucuna’s naturally occurring levodopa is an essential precursor of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which contributes to brain and nervous system health.  Dopamine plays an important role in behavior, cognition, voluntary movement, sleep, mood, working memory, and learning

As an aphrodisiac, mucuna bolsters healthy sexual energy and libido for both males and females.

Supports motor skills and coordination. Mucuna’s work in the nervous system directly affects the muscles as well, encouraging fluid muscular movements, proper sensation, coordination, and keen motor skills.

Promotes a healthy nervous system. As a rejuvenating herb, mucuna has a profoundly nourishing and rejuvenating effect. It can minimize the effects of stress while supporting a calm and stable nervous system.

Schisandra fruit is a berry used as a form of traditional Chinese medicine and comes from a vine native to China and parts of Russia.

It improves blood flow and circulation, improves cardiovascular health, combats stress, protects liver and increases anti-oxidant response, increases energy, improves mental health, improves physical performance and counters fatigue, helps asthma and the respiratory system, enhances the immune system, and helps cancer prevention.

Studies show that adaptogens like Schisandra help prevent and even reduce the symptoms of the common cold.

Schisandra is concentrated full of natural anti-oxidants which help prevent your cells from rapidly deteriorating and aging. This includes your immune system.

Synephrine is a naturally occurring chemical that has been intensely sought after by athletes due to its effects on the body’s energy production.

It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat stomach problems and allergies for hundreds of years.

Synephrine prevents the conversion of sugars into fats, increases metabolic rate, aids fat loss, improves athletic performance, treats stomach problems like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, reduces allergy symptoms, can act as an antibiotic, and can treat fungal infections.

Synephrine causes fat to be released into the bloodstream to be burned for energy, even when you are sitting on the couch watching TV.

Piperine comes from black pepper, which is the most widely used spice in the world.

It has been used as a folk medicine to treat a variety of conditions and diseases, including rheumatism, influenza, muscle pains, chills, fevers, migraines, and digestive problems.

It protects against inflammation, may improve cognitive function, mood, allergies, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure.

Our main purpose for including it in Grind is because it increases the bioavailability of many drugs and supplements.

Piperine increases the body’s ability to make effective use of many other compounds. This was discovered in 1979.

In short, everything we've put into Grind will be absorbed much better, and your body will use it the way it is meant. If a product does not have piperine, this does not happen.

Vinpocetine was first isolated from the Vinca minor plant in 1975 by chemist Csaba Szántay. Gedeon Richter, a Hungarian drug company, began manufacturing Vinpocetine in 1978 under the brand name Cavinton.

Vinpocetine has historically been used in European countries as a way to enhance blood flow to the brain in the treatment of cognitive decline, stroke recovery, and epilepsy.

Many countries, including Japan, Mexico, Russia, and many in Europe, prescribe Vinpocetine for the treatment of cognitive and circulatory brain treatment.

In the United States, we can include Vinpocetine as an over-the-counter supplement and offer it directly to you. Vinpocetine has direct effects on brain blood vessels, brain blood flow, and brain cells themselves. In this way, it enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the brain, as well as possibly preventing the damage that occurs if nutrient delivery is impaired.

Vinpocetine reduces the viscosity, or “stickiness,” of red blood cells and platelets. This allows blood to flow more easily through narrowed vessels, and may help to protect brain tissues in the event of transient loss of blood pressure.

Why does all this matter? If your blood is not flowing properly through your brain, none of the ingredients in our product will work the way they are supposed to. Enhanced blood flow means enhanced results from Grind.

Citicoline helps to transport dopamine and increases its release into the brain.

Dopamine is our body's feel-good hormone associated with feelings of euphoria, bliss, concentration, and motivation.

Choline is an essential nutrient needed in order to make the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is required for brain and muscular function.

Low choline levels can cause liver damage, impaired fat metabolism, and increased risk of cancer.

Supplementing with citicoline can decrease inflammation, increase IQ, intelligence, and brain function, improve symptoms of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease, increase athletic performance, decrease pain, and enhance memory and concentration.

Just as choline is needed for acetylcholine, Huperzine prevents it from being broken down.

This increases Norepinephrine and Dopamine. In short, Huperzine protects brain neurons, increasing brain blood flow.

It has been shown to improve cognitive functions in retired NFL football players with a history of concussions, and protects the brain from damage by reducing inflammation, while helping with symptoms of depression.

The primary use for theanine in Grind is to offset any kind of discomfort of "jittery" feeling that some people experience with caffeine or other stimulants.

Theanine works amazingly in this regard, resulting in a 100% success rate and satisfaction among those who desire to use a powerful product but not feel weird, shaky, fidgety, or uneasy.

In addition to all the other positive brain function, sleep, depression, stress, and anxiety properties previously listed, theanine protects the heart and blood vessels, reduces hardening of the arteries, and lowers fatty acid levels in the blood to assist in weight loss.
