FAQ's

Other supplements do not contain all of the unique ingredients in BriteSMART® and BriteSHIELD®. Our patent pending formulations are clinically relevant and have the effective dosage levels of these important brain nutrients.

No. There are no caffeine or other stimlant in either formulation. However, both stimulate your brain to work better, but they do so naturally and nutritionally through their clinically-proven natural ingredients.

The formulations in BriteSMART® and BriteSHIELD® are not known to cause a problem with bruising. Bruising typically occurs from increased capillary fragility and membrane permeability. If the individual is inclined to bruise easily, it often suggests the need for more bioflavanoids (e.g. rutin) along with Vitamin C in the diet.

BriteSHIELD® and BriteSMART® were designed to work synergistically. Although BriteSMART® does have unique anti-oxidant and neuro-protective effects, its main purpose is to boost the brain’s performance level by enhancing the levels of vital neurotransmitters, glucose and oxygen in the brain.
BriteSHIELD® could be viewed as a special blend of anti-oxidants specifically needed by the brain to protect it against the ravages of stress, infections and inflammation, free radicals, bad fats and alcohol, and the general hyper-metabolic activity of the mitochondria, which are the energy “factories” within the brain cells.

NO, you do not have to stop but the BriteSHIELD® is giving you an adequate amount of B12 in its more "brain-active" form (methylcobalimin) so there's no need to buy more of your other B12 once you run out of it..

Your multi-vitamin is quite different from BriteSMART® & BriteSHIELD®. Although multi-vitamins may work synergistically with BriteSMART® & BriteSHIELD® they do not address the brain's needs for 1.) increased oxygen, 2.) increased metabolism and energy, and 3.) increased neurotransmitters, all of which are depleted by aging, stress, and other lifestyle factors.

Your brain starts deteriorating at age 25. According to doctors, Alzheimer's and dementia are endemic to all people. Alzheimer's is being diagnosed in younger people as tests become more available. It comes down to lifestyle and prophylactic care of your brain. You are living longer!

The medical use of the term, neuro-protection deals primarily with the neurotoxic chemicals released by brain cells when they are extremely stressed, e.g., after a stroke, a dramatic drop in oxygen or glucose levels to the brain. Curiously, one of the main toxic elements is calcium, which floods the cell’s internal compartments, or cytoplasm. This calcium overload actually shuts down the brain cell. Both BriteSMART® and BriteSHIELD® contain natural neuro-protective agents, or ingredients that protect cells against calcium overload.

A more general use of the term relates to the power of certain anti-oxidants to protect the brain from free radicals. BriteSHIELD® also contains powerful, neuro-protective anti-oxidants.

YES. Rememver, Daily Values are based on the minimum to prevent disease or conditions and in no way reflect an optimal amount.

BriteSHIELD®’s proprietary compound, Cereprotectin®, is perhaps the first and only full spectrum anti-oxidant, neuroprotective, and detoxification formula on the market.

This is a nice concept, but highly unlikely. YES, there are ingredients in our products that are found in various foods. Unfortunately, these natural anti-oxidants are available in very small amounts. BriteSMART® and BriteSHIELD® combine these nutrients in amounts clinically proven to be effective at keeping your brain healthy. For example, to get the amount of resveratrol in one daily serving of BriteSHIELD® you would have to drink (5) bottles of wine a day!

As we age, our brain is subjected to many assaults ranging from stress hormones, cortisol, free radicals from bad fats in our diet, and blood sugar swings (from too high to too low), to mercury, lead and aluminum found in our environment (air, water and foods). These and other factors gang up on our brain cells. The effect over time is a breakdown in one or more of our delicate, vulnerable, and complex neurologic systems. The result is accelerated brain aging and cognitive decline.

BriteSHIELD® can reduce, if not reverse, the effects of the accumulated damage It also protects against ongoing assaults such as free radicals from toxins, e.g., excess sugar and trans fats from your diet. BriteSHIELD® bolsters your brain’s anti-oxidant defenses. It also helps detoxify the brain cells from the damaging metabolic by-products of normal brain cell energy generation.

You can get adequate levels of certain anti-oxidants from your diet as long as you consume adequate amounts of the right foods, e.g., greens, dark skinned berries, apples, plums and grapes, red cabbage, red bell peppers, nuts, garlic and onions, and others (see the Brain Foods section, and in the Living Longer, Thinking Younger book).

However, some of the ingredients in , such as, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Curcumin, Resveratrol and N-Acetyl-Cysteine are hard to find in adequate amounts without taking supplements. supplies your brain with adequate levels of the key cellular anti-oxidants that are typically lacking even in a vegetable and fruit rich diet.

BriteSMART® is a proprietary nutritional supplement specifically designed to support brain chemistry for optimal mental performance. BriteSMART® uses only clinically proven ingredients in the exact amounts used in the clinical studies. Users report that BriteSMART® quickly increases their mental clarity, energy, and focus.

Occasionally, if taken on an empty stomach BriteSMART® can cause mild gastric discomfort. Therefore, it is highly recommended that BriteSMART® be taken with or right after a meal or snack.

BriteSMART® contains a variety of ingredients in the exact amounts clinically proven to increase blood flow, oxygen and glucose to the brain, all of which decline sharply with age. The result is more brain energy and improved neurological function of brain cells. Additionally, several ingredients in BriteSMART® help boost neurotransmitter levels that are typically reduced with aging and lifestyle factors, such as, excess alcohol, sugar, trans (hydrogenated) and saturated fats, as well as stress, sleep loss, anxiety, and hormone depletion.

BriteSMART® is the only brain supplement clinically tested and proven by a leading brain research institute in a large double-blind, placebo controlled and randomized study, demonstrating improvement in two types of memory (short term & long term), speed of memory, mood, mental clarity, mental energy and IQ. For more info, see "Clinical Studies."

Take 1-2 tablets with breakfast or 1-2 tablets with lunch. Total 3 tablets per day based on your personal preference for sustainable energy throughout the day. Not advised to take in the evening.

Although we are not aware of any of the ingredients in BriteSMART® having contraindications with any pharmaceuticals, if you are taking any medication we suggest you consult your health care professional before taking BriteSMART®.

Joshua Reynolds is a highly regarded researcher in cognitive function and brain health nutrition and as a result of his reputation has worked with four companies in product formulation activities during the past 20 years. Two of these formulations are being marketed by Brain Research Laboratories through infomercials and their website. Neither is comparable to BriteAge’s nutraceuticals.

As a BriteAge shareholder and a member of the Scientific Advisory Board, Joshua developed his most advanced and effective formulations for BriteAge. The superiority of these exclusive formulations have been demonstrated by a clinical study at a world famous brain research institute utilized by both pharmaceutical and nutritional products companies and the numerous personal testimonials of users. When asked to compare BriteAge with his previous product development efforts, Josh emphatically stated:

“No other product achieved the dramatic improvement across a broad range of cognitive functions from mood and memory to IQ and focus, as BriteAge clinically was shown to do. It is truly the Mercedes in the rapidly expanding field of safe and natural supplements for short term improvement of mood, mind and memory, and long term protection of the brain.”

An ingredient-by-ingredient comparison of with any competitive product will show that the BriteAge formulations are the most comprehensive offerings on the market for a complete brain health program. Additionally, patent applications have been filed which demonstrate their uniqueness and will provide BriteAge more market protection.

BriteAge is fortunate to have this partnership with Joshua Reynolds and his commitment to BriteAge Corporation.

The difference is that drugs interfere with the physiological processes - that's why they can attack something - but nutrients support human physiology. Nutrition supports the body's systems, which can then in turn attack, prevent, or reduce the risk of disease.

In fact, drugs are often made from synthetic compounds while nutrients are primarily derived from natural ingredients.

Neurotransmitters are the brain’s unique chemicals that help us focus our mind, quicken and clarify our thoughts, and enable our memories to be effectively stored and retrieved. The primary neurotransmitter for focus, concentration, clarity and memory is acetylcholine, which is significantly enhanced by the ingredients in BriteSMART®. Other neurotransmitters improved by BriteSMART® are serotonin, important for feeling calm and relaxed, and dopamine, important for being alert and feeling emotionally fulfilled.
