Life Extension Quick Brain Nootropic

We’ve all heard the term “think fast.” But what does that mean? Well, there are measurable processes in your brain that govern retention, recall, and processing—and the right nutrients can support them all.

What Is Quick Brain Nootropic?

A “nootropic” is a nutrient that helps enhance learning, cognition, and mental processing speed. Our Quick Brain formula combines three clinically studied ingredients that promote neural processing speed, memory, and concentration: carotenoid-rich marigold extract, standardized gotu kola extract, and whole-herb BaCognize® bacopa extract.

An agile mind is necessary for success in work, school, and everyday life. Get the competitive edge with Quick Brain Nootropic.

Carotenoids and Your Brain

Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoid compounds found in high concentrations in the macula of your eye. Measuring lutein and zeaxanthin levels in your eye is an excellent indicator of how much of these beneficial nutrients are present in your brain, where they also accumulate. Research indicates these carotenoid compounds encourage quick thinking, memory, and cognitive function.

Because they are heavily concentrated in macular pigment, lutein and zeaxanthin are associated with eye health—but they are also found at high levels in the brain. Studies indicate that these carotenoids enhance brain function, encouraging improved spatial memory, reasoning skills, cognitive flexibility, and complex attention scores.

These positive cognitive results appeared regardless of age: healthy older adults taking lutein and zeaxanthin saw improved measurements of their ability to filter out irrelevant information while multitasking, as well as increased activity in the left prefrontal area of the brain involved in understanding verbal information, forming long-term memories, and focusing on challenges.

Young people (ages 18 to 25) taking these carotenoid nutrients for six months also showed improved cognitive performance, as well as healthy levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). BDNF promotes neuronal plasticity: your brain’s ability to learn by growing new connections and reorganizing old ones—a process essential to healthy learning and memory formation.

Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica)

Gotu kola has been the subject of extensive research. More than 11 randomized controlled trials have assessed its impact on cognitive function. However, traditional gotu kola extracts aren’t standardized—and this makes a big difference in results.

A two-month study had healthy older adults take different doses of a gotu kola extract standardized to a naturally occurring compound called “asiaticoside” or a placebo. At the low dose of 250 mg/day, the group showed significant improvements in reaction time and accuracy of their working memory, and subjects also reported feeling calmer.

Water Hyssop (Bacopa monnieri)

Bacopa monnieri extract is a very popular study aid, and for good reason. Studies indicate bacopa improves aspects of cognitive function, particularly related to memory.

In elderly volunteers, Bacopa extract improved cognitive function and brain processing speed, including power and continuity of attention, as well as the speed and quality of memory formation. Regular daily use of bacopa enhanced attention, cognitive processing capability, working memory, and cholinergic function.

Bacopa isn’t just for older people, however. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 60 healthy medical students, six weeks of bacopa significantly improved attention, concentration, recall, and working memory compared to placebo.

Preclinical studies suggest bacopa encourages new connections between neurons in the parts of the brain associated with learning, memory, and emotion.
