Mental Advantage™

Mental Advantage combines two plant oils – rosemary and sage – with curcumin (from the herb turmeric) and Vitamin D. Together, these ingredients have protective antioxidant effects for brain cells, as well as supporting memory and mental function.*

Vitamin D

Vitamin D has protective effects for brain cells. In clinical trials, higher serum levels of vitamin D are associated with improved mental function. Additional studies, particularly in older adults, have found that increased serum levels of vitamin D are associated with healthy cognitive (brain) function.*1,2

Mental Advantage™

The botanical name for rosemary is from the Latin word Rosmarinus, Ros meaning “dew” and marinus “sea.” One of the common names for rosemary is “dew of the sea.” Rosemary’s properties have been known since ancient times. It was believed to strengthen memory and become the symbol of fidelity between lovers. Students wore garlands of rosemary to help strengthen their memories, as well. It is no wonder that one of the other common names for rosemary is the “herb of remembrance.”
