Focus Alert is a nootropic formula based on a bioactively tested, patented wild green oat herb extract called Neuravena™ green oat herb which was selected from 36 other varieties as it has the highest potency. The active ingredient in Focus Alert works as an inhibitory compound: it targets two neurotransmitters in the brain that are associated with stress. By inhibiting these neurotransmitters, it can lead to better thinking in more stressful situations.
In clinical trials on the ingredient, it has been observed to work in specific areas of the brain, including the left frontotemporal area, which is one of the most important parts of the brain for cognitive tasks. The frontotemporal area of the brain is frequently linked to dementia: those who suffer from dementia will often have noticeable signs of damage in the frontotemporal area of their brain.

Like many nootropics and focus-boosting compounds, it specifically targets the dopamine system in the brain, including dopamine re-uptake transporters and dopamine receptors. At the same time, the ingredient has been shown to improve blood flow to the brain. According to one scientific study, it has “been reported to improve vasodilator function in systemic and cerebral arteries in older adults”. This was “suggested to contribute to improvements of human cognition” while preventing the formation of amyloid plaques in the brain.
Neuravena™ has been tested in several major studies to date, including everything from in vitro studies to human clinical trials (www.neuravena.com). In one published double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study, for example, researchers assessed human electric brain activity during intensive mental work to determine the effects on mental fitness. Researchers used a quantitative brain mapping EEG system called CATEEM to visualize changes in brain activity. The group that took it exhibited a more relaxed brain state during cognitive tasks compared to a placebo group. In another study, healthy elderly volunteers “with below-average cognitive performance” consumed single doses at weekly intervals in a double-blind, randomized, crossover trial. During follow-up cognitive testing, it was shown that the group made “significantly fewer errors” in a cognitive performance test. Clinical trials with year three students also showed increased memory quotient and improvements of cognition after 30 days of use of Neuravena™.
In addition, our formula includes other ingredients that have shown to support brain function. For instance, honey assists in building the entire central nervous system which leads to improvement in memory, reduction of anxiety, and enhancement of intellectual performance. Furthermore, the neuroprotective effect of the polyphenols present in raw honey involves several important activities within the brain. Many of these effects have shown protection against oxidative stress, neuroinflammation and various neurotoxins, promoting memory and enhanced cognitive function.
Another ingredient that has demonstrated potential memory enhancing effects is ginkgo. Ginkgo is thought to increase blood flow to the brain, increase in neurotransmitters that brain cells use to communicate with each other, increase energy production in brain cells, and protect brain from aluminum accumulation and subsequent neurological diseases.
Phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE) performs the task of restocking brain cell membranes, supports nervous chemical activity like serotonin and dopamine, stimulate growth of nerve cells, and stir activity with respect to every brain center, particularly the higher centers of brain like pituitary gland, hypothalamus, and cortex, maintaining healthy and active brain function.
DMAE is thought to increase acetylcholine production and positively affect mood, enhance memory and brain functions. Uses of these ingredients in combination help support healthy cognitive function of the brain under stress situations.
Suggested Use: For Kids ( 6 to 16 year olds ), Take 1 sachet daily, or take 2 capsules 1 ½ hours before taking exams or performing tasks that require mental sharpness, intense focus and cognitive precision especially in stressful situations.
