What did the study show about Brain Protect?
Some of the experiments published in this paper were done on mice, while others were done on human cells in the laboratory.
Brain Protect restores cognition in a mouse model of dementia
One experiment used a mouse model of dementia. These mice were given a drug that blocks certain receptors in their brain. When their cognitive function was tested, they showed memory deficits similar to those experienced by humans with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. That makes them a good model for studying the effects of a treatment on dementia.
Some of the mice were fed Brain Protect daily for seven weeks along with their normal food. Remarkably, this virtually eliminated their memory symptoms. When tested in a maze, the mice with dementia who received Brain Protect performed almost as well as normal mice.
Brain Protect helps to restore cognition in old mice
Another experiment used normal mice that were not altered to have dementia. Mice age much like humans, and their brains are affected similarly. While young mice learn quickly, older mice learn more slowly and forget more easily.
The study found that giving Brain Protect to old mice helped keep them cognitively younger. When tested in a maze, old mice without Brain Protect performed worse than young mice—as expected. However, old mice that received Brain Protect performed significantly better. They didn’t reach the same level as young mice but learned faster and retained information longer than untreated old mice.
In other words, Brain Protect reduced the effects of aging on the brains of the mice.
Brain Protect prevents cell damage in human neurons
One of the components of Brain Protect was also tested on brain cells in the laboratory. Some cells had the extract applied, while others did not. Then a solution of hydrogen peroxide was added.
Hydrogen peroxide is toxic and kills brain cells. However, the Brain Protect extract was able to prevent much of this cell death. It helped the cells become more resilient and better withstand the toxic exposure.
How do Brain Protect’s components work?
These exciting results suggest that Brain Protect has the potential to significantly improve brain health. More research is needed to clarify all of its effects in humans, and we’re actively planning future studies. But these early findings show that Brain Protect can help protect brain cells and support cognitive function.
So what makes Brain Protect so powerful? It contains a combination of two key components that work together: nano omega-5 fatty acids and full-spectrum hemp oil.
Omega-5 fatty acids belong to the same family as omega-3 and omega-6, but have unique properties. They integrate into brain cell membranes, supporting fluidity and function. Omega-5s also have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that protect brain cells from damage. These fatty acids are rare in the diet—mainly found in pomegranate seed oil—so supplementation is beneficial.
Hemp oil contains a wide variety of powerful compounds. Many, like omega-5s, are strong antioxidants and protect brain cells. Cannabidiol (CBD), one of the best-known compounds in hemp oil, has potent anti-inflammatory effects without impairing mental function—making it ideal for supporting cognitive health. Hemp oil also contains several other beneficial compounds.
Research has shown that some compounds in hemp oil increase brain signaling by slowing down an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase. This is known to improve cognitive function—some dementia medications work the same way. The hemp extract in Brain Protect inhibits this enzyme, enhancing its brain-supporting effects.
So what’s “nano” omega-5? The nano formulation is essential for delivering Brain Protect to the brain. Because omega-5s and hemp oil are fat-soluble, they don’t dissolve well in water, making them hard to transport through the bloodstream. To overcome this, we use advanced technology to create nanoparticles—tiny particles that travel more easily through the blood and into brain tissue, allowing Brain Protect to exert its full protective effects.
Brain Protect has been shown to help support brain health
Again, we will definitely need more studies to demonstrate the effects of Brain Protect in humans. What we know at this point is that Brain Protect can help to protect human brain cells from toxic damage in the lab, and that it can help to improve cognitive function in mice that have experienced the effects of aging or that are experiencing symptoms of dementia.
If you’re ready to try Brain Protect for yourself or a loved one, we have two different formulations. The version with hemp oil was the one tested in these studies, but there’s also a version that uses cinnamon extract instead. Cinnamon extract also has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and offers an alternative for those who prefer to avoid hemp oil. Whichever version you choose, you’ll be getting the benefits of nano omega-5s as well.
Of course, supporting great long-term brain health involves more than just taking Brain Protect. Make sure you’re eating nutritious food, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, spending time with family and friends, and giving your brain cognitive challenges on a regular basis. Investing the effort to take care of your brain now will pay off hugely over the years to come.
