Riboflavin is an antioxidant that supports energy production, facilitates neurotransmitter synthesis, and maintains the integrity of the nervous system.

Niacin supports brain health by aiding in the production of neurotransmitters and promoting the proper functioning of the nervous system.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) promotes the synthesis of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which play key roles in mood regulation and cognitive function.

Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) supports brain health by maintaining nerve function, promoting myelin synthesis, supporting cognitive function and memory, aiding in mood regulation.

Citicoline, also known as CDP-choline, is important for brain function as it serves as a precursor to phosphatidylcholine, a key component of cell membranes in the brain. It supports cognitive function, memory, and overall brain health by promoting the synthesis of neurotransmitters, enhancing neuronal communication, and protecting neural cells from oxidative stress.
