Balanced Mental Alertness Formula
MindCare Jr. (known internationally as Childrens Mentat) is a
mental fitness formula that supports brain function in both
normal and pressure situations in children. It has been shown
that MindCare Jr. can help students improve their learning
abilities and academic performance through better concentration
and increased attention span. MindCare Jr. has been found
particularly effective in helping children maintain appropriate
classroom conduct.
MindCare Jr. is an herbal formulation of several plants which
have been categorized in traditional Indian medicine as “Medhyarasayanasâ€--0x9d--
and used to regulate behavior and improve memory.

Scientific
Validation
It is now widely accepted, based on extensive clinical and
experimental data, that learning and memory are closely
associated with the functional status of the central cholinergic
system. According to this model, MindCare (Mentat) was evaluated
and the results, published in an Italian journal, Fitoterapia
(Vol. LXVI, No. 3 pp. 216-222, 1995), indicate that MindCare (Mentat)
actively promotes cholinergic system and mechanisms, which
explains MindCare’s (Mentat) effectiveness in promoting mental
alertness.

Bacopa (Bacopa
monniera)
A classic brain and nervine tonic, Bacopa is included in
the "Brahmi" category of ayurvedic herbs, which are
those that benefit both the mind and spirit and improve
the intellect and consciousness. Bacopa assists in
heightening mental acuity and supports the physiological
processes involved in relaxation.

Ashwagandha (Withania
somnifera)
Ashwagandha improves the body's ability to maintain
physical effort and helps the body adapt to various
types of stress. Perhaps the most famous ayurvedic
rejuvenative botanical, Ashwagandha is used in many
tonics and formulas. |
| |
Morning Glory (Evolvulus
alsinoides)
Morning Glory has been traditionally used as a "Rasayana"
or anti-aging rejuvenative tonic and to improve memory
and intellect. |
| |
Gotu Kola (Centella
asiatica)
Gotu Kola or Indian Pennywort. Gotu Kola is famous for
supporting vein structure thereby improving memory and
attention through support of the brain's
micro-capillaries. French researchers found evidence
that Gotu Kola significantly increases the production of
collagen, the key to the synthesis of the connective
tissues surrounding the veins and to its usefulness for
wound healing. |
| |
Musk Root (Nardostachys
jatamansi)
Musk Root is in the same botanical family as Valerian, a
relaxing plant with established effectiveness in
promoting mental health. It has been shown effective in
helping maintain a restful sleep and in coping with many
menopausal symptoms. |
| |
Indian Valerian (Valeriana
jatamansi)
Indian Valerian has been traditionally used for its
calming benefits. It is practically identical in its
composition with the well-studied European variety. In
both species, Valepotriates have been shown very useful
for common behavioral concerns and as support of mental
function. |
| |
Triphala
A cornerstone of Ayurvedic health, Triphala is a
traditional combination of three myrobalan fruits: Amla,
Haritaki and Vibhitaki. It rejuvenates the membrane
lining of the digestive tract and contributes to
effective cleansing of the colon, a key condition in
Ayurveda to maintaining optimum health. |
| |
Guduchi (Tinospora
cordifolia)
Guduchi is an important part of the ayurvedic category
of Rasayanas, or rejuvenative tonics. Human studies
conducted on Guduchi's immune-boosting ability show it
to be linked to enhancing the function of protective
cells called macrophages. |
| |
Mucuna (Mucuna
pruriens)
Mucuna or Cow-Itch Plant. Mucuna has been reported to be
a very effective nervine tonic and aphrodisiac. Studies
have demonstrated its usefulness in maintaining optimum
performance of the nervous system. |
| |
Salep Orchid (Orchis
mascula)
Salep Orchid has been traditionally used as an
aphrodisiac: "Witches were supposed to use the tubers in
their philtres, the fresh tuber being given to promote
true love, and the withered one to check wrong
passions." It was tested recently for cases of nervous
debility and has been shown to be a nerve stimulant and
revigorating tonic, effective in cases of age-related
sexual weakness. |
